$Nike(NKE)$ Beautiful technical bounce here. Looking for $35-36 by end of week, though could see $37+ range if markets pump tomorrow. Locked in today and riding some profit into tomorrow. I flip options pretty quick, so these were weeklies 35, 37, 40. The 35s printed enough to more than cover the 37/40 strikes, but I kept some 37 for tomorrow just in case. The technical bounce could go as high as low 40s, but I don't think we'd get anywhere that high tomorrow. A few weeks out? Possible. But I'll be out at some point tomorrow and don't plan on riding options here next week. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$
$Intel(INTC)$ Let me explain how this works for a few people here. Look at the 115 strike with 32k calls expiring Friday. That tells you what this week was about. $200 by December. I've been here since $25.
$Intel(INTC)$ Still like this setup a lot. As long as the recent low holds, I'm keeping stops under that level. If it doesn't hold, it looks like there's a gap fill below.
$Intel(INTC)$ SEC refuses to update FTDs now. They stopped using INTC and are now using INTW as a vehicle to naked short and suppress the price. I'm sure the same thing is going on with INTL too. Wall Street apparently thinks we're stupid. Let the games continue. Keep shorting, you'll have to close. When it hits 200, you'll try to force it off your books just like you did 2 years ago by creating a new ETF and stuffing Intel naked shorts into it. Gamestop behavior. You can run, but you can't hide, Wall Street. $GameStop(GME)$
$Intel(INTC)$ A standard shakeout after a 62.5% run up from $80 to $130 has you concerned? The goal is to become the most valuable company on the planet in 2027, across CPU, foundry, and memory. Everything else is just noise.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ The FAO Food Price Index for October 2026 shows global food prices extended gains in September 2026 out of a textbook C&H bullish bottom formation, reaching the highest since November 2022 as mounting geopolitical oil and weather disruptions roil the farm sector. Food prices are still way below the record set in Q1 2022. Wall Street said last week that the "unaffordability crisis" in 2026 is a "hoax."
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Has anyone brought up yield curve controls as a possibility? I'm thinking, behind closed doors, inflation isn't really a concern. If something like that happened, it would fit with the AI too-big-to-fail scenario, and at that point I'd guess equities just go up. Even without yield curve controls, probably. Not sure. Just thinking out loud. The charts will do the heavy lifting. Woof.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ I picked up some calls near the close on Friday, though I really wish I had added more. Sometimes things don't come together until the next day. That upward push into the close was meaningful. With the diesel issues now being resolved, Iran is likely getting desperate to reach a deal quickly. Probably within the week.
$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ September is finally over. The end of the month and quarter are behind us, so hopefully the rough stretch closes out with it. Now we start a new month, and the setup feels more constructive from here.
$Intel(INTC)$ Intel isn't on Insider Monkey's list of the 40 most popular stocks. That leaves a lot of upside as investors realize what Intel stock is capable of.
$Intel(INTC)$ 130-150 year end. Besides being a Pelosi stock and NVIDIA having invested a ton, this is an American staple that will easily double with the AI boom over the next few months. Any dip is an opportunity to buy more.
