DoorDash, Robinhood, And What I Sold $60K Of

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market’s giving us a mix of fear and strength right now, exactly the kind of setup where the biggest opportunities are hiding in plain sight. While most traders are waiting for “confirmation,” we’re seeing momentum quietly building underneath the surface.

Here’s what we are covering:

  1. My neutral-to-bullish outlook heading into next week

  2. Client Spotlight: Reno’s consistent 6–8% months

  3. A safe SoFi setup paying 3.4% in 30 days

  4. Bonus Resource: My latest update on HOOD and DASH earnings

Market Snapshot

The bulls stepped in to defend the market today. $QQQ ( ▲ 0.65% ) looked like it might drop to the 613 area, but buyers quickly reversed the move and pushed prices higher. $VIX ( ▼ 5.21% ) briefly spiked near 20 but settled back down to 18 by the close, a sign of stability returning.

At this point, I’m neutral to bullish. The expected move on QQQ for the next two weeks is about 20 points in either direction, which means we could see a range between 600 and 640. That’s a wide window, but it gives us opportunity both ways.

We’re coming off a big earnings stretch with DoorDash $DASH ( ▼ 0.8% ) and Robinhood $HOOD ( ▲ 4.15% ) moving sharply after reports, and we’ve got Core CPI data on deck next Thursday. That could influence whether the Fed decides to cut rates in December or waits until January. Odds for a December cut sit around 62.5%, so any surprise to the upside on inflation could shift sentiment fast.

QQQ in the middle of the range, indecisive, but bulls stepped in on todays drop

Client Spotlight

We recently interviewed our client Reno, who’s been quietly and consistently generating results every month. In September, he had his best performance yet. An 8.1% return, totaling $20,000 in profit. Reno’s consistency is the perfect example of what happens when structure meets execution. Watch his interview below.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $SOFI ( ▲ 2.38% )  
Strategy: Sell Cash-Secured Put
Expiration: December 5 (30 days)
Strike: 27
Premium Collected: $90
ROI: 3.4% in 30 days

SoFi continues to be one of the easiest, most consistent trades in the portfolio. Trading around $30, it’s at a discount relative to its growth trajectory. If SoFi secures the $1.6 trillion in student loan refinancing from the government, this stock could explode higher.

Selling the 27-strike cash secured put pays 3.4% for the month, and getting assigned at that level would be a gift.
