Hey Gamers!
Holy cow – you know that CRWV play I called yesterday while everyone else was sitting around “waiting for CPI data”?
The one where I wanted to buy calls on a stock trading around $100, near term at-the-money calls were “like five bucks” and I was ready to say “I kind of want to” anyway?
Some of you did take the calls and were rewarded big time…
Thank God for Mark.
When I showed him the setup – CRWV coming off an ugly sell but finally showing life with nice volume – he saw the conviction in my voice.
But instead of letting me blow up the account on expensive single calls, he suggested the October 105/120 spread for $4.60.
That spread?
It’s worth $7.45 today. That’s a 62% gain in ONE DAY while SPY played dead.
Some of you did better…
And if you were brave enough to buy the calls outright, you crushed it!
And get this – Oracle just reported 1,529% growth in their multicloud database revenue, which validates everything I’ve been screaming about AI infrastructure plays.
The Partnership That Made It Work
Here’s what I love about trading with Mark. I brought the conviction – I could see CRWV was coiled like a jack-in-the-box with a “big thin zone” to the upside.
The technicals were screaming at me.
But when the options chain showed calls trading at ridiculous premiums, I was ready to just pay up anyway. Because sometimes expensive options are expensive for a reason.
Mark stepped in with the tactical brilliance: “The October 105/120 call spread is about $4.60. That’s better than two-to-one risk reward.”
BOOM. Problem solved. I got my conviction play with defined risk and massive upside potential.
Why Everyone Else Missed This
While traders were doing that “inside day” shuffle, waiting for CPI to tell them what to think, I was hunting stocks ready to move regardless of macro noise.
CRWV wasn’t some random momentum chase. This thing had been beaten down but was finally starting to make a rebound with real volume. The options were expensive because smart money could see what was coming.
When Oracle reports 1,529% multicloud growth, it validates every “expensive” option premium we paid yesterday. AI infrastructure plays don’t tap dance when they decide to move. They explode.
The Real Lesson
Most traders see expensive options and run. They want cheap lottery tickets that expire worthless 90% of the time.
But sometimes expensive options are expensive because the probability of a big move is REAL.
And this is where having a partner like Mark becomes invaluable. I brought the setup recognition. He brought the execution strategy. Together we turned an “expensive options” problem into a 62% overnight winner.
Rock on, Gamers!
