STOCK MARKET: Let's talk stocks and investing

Market was overdue for a pullback. Glad it's here.

 

That's not smart. Nancy Pelosi gets in early before we know (45 day rule) then gets out and leaves us bag holding. I have 1 share of tempus AI that's still down big time.

 

right. it's not realtime.

 

right after the most important earnings week, when AMZN/MSFT/GOOG/AAPL, etc, reported,
the summer doldrums begin.

sold this 190-point credit spreand and collected premium of $104, defining my max risk to be $86

with the $SPX (S&P Large Cap Index) trading ~~$6,231. down 108, using the 8-28-25 expiration,
i am betting that the SPX will close below 6,200 at expiration, risking $86 to win $104

• buy to open 6,390 strike CALL
• sell to open 6,200 strike CALL

​

 

YTD:

$NVDA +25.3%

$MSFT +25.0%

$META +24.9%

$GOOGL -0.3%

$AMZN -2.8%

$AAPL -17.2%

$TSLA -19.8%

 

"Don't let Friday's trading day end like this!"

 

None of my puts got exercised. Markets don't want the smoke.
