    actually, mainstream media has reported that all precious metals are up

    CNBC, Fox, Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, WSJ. NYTimes,WaPo, etc, all reported on it

    https://www.t3.com/live/news/wwdc-2025-apple-ios-26-news-live

    still trying to cope with Trump 2.0's tariff folly at AAPL's expense, Apple's June 9 hosting of WWDC 2025
    was a biggie, w every major OS getting an update

    also, rumors abound that Apple is considering a strategic partnership with AI startup Perplexity;
    the move aims to enhance Apple's AI capabilities and could impact the tech giant's strategy moving forward


    Technically,
    • AAPL has retraced 36% of the 80-point drop from the Dec 2024 high of 259
    • it has been forming an ascending triangle pattern---consolidating---ready for lift off
    • the next earnings will be 30 July 2025
    • currently trading ~~ 203, my target is 50% retracement, to be above 215, by mid-Aug

    constructed this 30-point bullish PUT spread, Aug expiration, betting that AAPL will be trading above 215

    • buy to open the 185 strike PUT contract
    • sell to open the 215 strike PUT contract
    • collected a premium in advance, $12.60
    i am willing to assume the max potential risk of $18.40 to win the $12.60

    so you, too, get a bite of the Apple


    btw, technically, xlk looks good, rising on the coattails of AAPL, AMZN, AVGO, NVDA, MSFT, etc​

    Don't know man..

    AAPL didn't reveal sh** during WWDC.
    They showed Windows Vista.

    They better have some major updates for the next iPhone.

    AAPL at $199 today.

    MSFT's current up trend is too STRONG---defying general accepted trading logics---even after the huge gap-up and Ex-Div
    next earnings for MSFT will be 7-29-25; constructed this 30-point bullish CALL spread, using Sep expiration

    • buy to open the 475 strike CALL contract
    • sell to open the 505 strike CALL contract
    • net cost of $12.75

    I invested $1850 in Microsoft in the year 2000. Basically forgot about it. Now, it's worth $22k.

    Let that be a lesson to all you kids out there. You all stay in school you hear?!

    Mmm...these are some good Kroger tortilla chips.

    and if you change the time frame to 2 year, use the weekly view.
    you get a Cup-With-Handle formation, arguably, the most bullish technical indicator.

    the weekly chart shows a completed handle to the coffee cup, with no overhead resistance at all.

    it took
    • 10-months to form the base of the coffee cup, then
    • another month to form the handle on declining volume, leading to a new high
    reaching a new high, in over a year, attracts many new motivated buyers,
    where animal spirits take over; closing the gap, post X-Div, etc. be damn!​

    do you know that you can rent out your MSFT and collect rent on it?

    MSFT has been my core holding for a while; each month i rent it out, via a covered CALL strategy, https://www.investopedia.com/articles/optioninvestor/08/covered-call.asp

    on 5-28-25
    i subscribe to the belief that Cup With Handle (CWH) pattern is the most bullish trading signal, https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cupandhandle.asp

    ~~~one month after its impressive Q1 earnings release, NVDA's trading pattern is screaming CWH.

    X-Div was 2 weeks ago, next earning will be 8-27, sold this bullish 20-point PUT spread, using 8-17-25 expiration.

    • buy to open the135 strike PUT contract
    • sell to open the 155 strike PUT contract
      • collected a premium of $8.75, defining my max potential risk of 11.25

    on 8-17-25, should NVDA close
    • above 155 i get to keep all the premium collected in advance
    • below 135, i will be obligated to pay $20

    i think that FOMO will drive NVDA to a new all-time high

    Getting closer to the X app. Time to onboard millions of users with the help of artificially low cab rides. Subscribe to the new financial services premium account to buy and trade the market. Free starlink connection included for your phone. Now we just wait for Tesla to buy xAI.

    I liked what I saw on YouTube today about the robotaxi. I think I may add shares. I’ve got around 130 already when it was below $200. I was skeptical but the rides look smooth. Still wondering about that little girl chasing the ball in the street and the car approaching. I saw they were doing YouTube videos on it. I assume it’s fixed. lol
