NVIDIA Earnings Week, AI Stocks Pull Back, and Zach’s 15.9% First Month

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

This week, the market is giving us a very interesting setup. After a pullback in several AI infrastructure names, we are starting to see fresh opportunity open up, but with two major catalysts ahead, patience is still key. Between the FOMC meeting and NVIDIA earnings on Wednesday, I am staying neutral for now while keeping cash ready to deploy if we get another leg lower. This is the type of environment where preparation matters, because volatility can create opportunity for disciplined traders.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My neutral market outlook heading into FOMC and NVIDIA earnings

2. Client Spotlight featuring Zach’s long-term consistency

3. Free Trade of the Week

4. Bonus Resource on the latest market pullback and my portfolio game plan

Market Snapshot

My market outlook for the week is neutral. We are starting to see some opportunity after the pullback in AI infrastructure stocks, with many of those names pulling back today and creating better entry points. That said, we have two major catalysts on Wednesday with the FOMC meeting and NVIDIA earnings, so I would not be surprised to see a little more downside before the market attempts to move higher again.

$SPY ( ▼ 0.07% ) is currently trading around 738, and based on market maker expectations, a move down toward 723 would not be far-fetched before the next push higher. The VIX is currently in the 17s, which is one reason I still believe the market could head higher, because fear did not elevate as much as I expected given today’s sell-off. If we do see the $VIX ( ▼ 3.31% ) move above 20, I believe that could create a strong buy-the-dip opportunity. I am currently sitting at about 20% cash, ready to go and locked and loaded if the right setups appear.

Client Spotlight

This week’s Client Spotlight is Zach, who has been with us since the very beginning. In his first month inside the program, Zach achieved a 15.9% monthly return, and since then, he has continued working toward his 3–5% per month goals with consistency. After being with us for over a year, he is now close to achieving his goal of doing this full time, which is exactly what disciplined execution over time can lead to.

We also had several great client wins today, with Sridhar closing a $2,673 profit, Justin closing a $1,200 profit on the day, and another client locking in a $403 profit.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $CLS ( ▼ 4.43% )  
Strategy: Sell the June 26 $290 cash secured put
Premium Collected: $1,080
Duration: 39 days
ROI: 3.87%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): 42.7%
Risk: The key risk is assignment if CLS falls below the $290 strike by expiration. However, the $290 strike is well below the lower Bollinger Band and sitting near the 200-day moving average, making it a level where assignment could be attractive for long-term ownership.

This setup is attractive because CLS has pulled back with the broader AI infrastructure trade, but nothing fundamentally appears to have changed based on the notes for this trade. This looks more like profit-taking rather than a company-specific breakdown, which can create opportunity for disciplined cash-secured put sellers. With the 20 delta strike sitting near a major technical level, this trade offers a strong premium while giving us a meaningful margin of safety.

We hired one colleague for every department.

Last Tuesday, marketing asked Viktor to write the weekly campaign recap, pull performance from Google Ads and Meta, and format it as a PDF for the exec team. Done in four minutes.

That same afternoon, engineering asked Viktor to review three open pull requests on GitHub, cross-reference with the Linear sprint board, and flag anything blocking the release. Posted to private channel before standup.

At 9pm, ops asked Viktor to draft a vendor contract summary from three Notion docs and send it to the team. It was in #ops by morning.

None of them knew the others were using it.

Same colleague. Three departments. That's what changes when your AI coworker lives in Slack, where your whole company already works. It's not a tool one person logs into. It's a teammate everyone messages.

5,700+ teams. SOC 2 certified. Your data never trains models.

"Viktor is now an integral team member, and after weeks of use we still feel we haven't uncovered the full potential." - Patrick O'Doherty, Director, Yarra Web
