Shake Off The Bad News

Issue 21

This week was quiet again aside from the $NVDA ( ▼ 0.7% ) earnings and subsequent temporary block of the tariffs which had the market rally a bit on Wednesday night. The rest of the market was testing a key spot on the SP500 and Nasdaq which makes this area a bit questionable given the price action and potential swings and most moves were intraday as we discussed in the report Sunday.

$BA ( ▼ 4.37% ) continues to trade well with the CEO saying they hope to increase production end of year and that gets us close to our $220 soft-target.

Overall this market is holding up well and when we look at the measured move on the $SPY ( ▼ 0.26% ) we talked about a few weeks ago it’s failed to sell.

This usually means the market is strong and an expectation of more of a rally on broad-market names is likely to come.

Moving on….

Last month we highlighted one of the Swing Monitor names, $DG ( ▲ 0.98% ) at $89s and we hit $100s last week on the name with earnings around the corner. This is one of the names we talked about earlier this year as well and it also has some larger fundamental catalysts with it including an active share buyback. $117s are the short-term targets still though those with the Swing Portfolio have covered the DITM Calls.

We also talked about $SCHW ( 0.0% ) (and have been since 2023) recently and they’ve broke out well this month. Soft-targets remain higher and Goldman gave it a $100 P/T recently as well.

ETSY and NTR longs closed

Uncle Ron with the Boeing swing closed. (Good example of longer term options) contrary to your local guru who trades ODTEs like a proper glue eater.

 Conclusion:

The broad market remains resilient and many names from the report have performed well this month for readers and as we end earnings season we’re headed into a lower vol environment - tweet news excluded.
