Market Snapshot

My outlook for the coming week is neutral to cautious. The $QQQ ( ▼ 1.34% ) saw a modest sell-off today, down about 1.2 percent to the 620 level. On the downside, I am watching 610 as a key support area on the NASDAQ.

The $VIX ( ▲ 9.06% ) is currently around 17.43 and could move back toward 20 if we see continued pressure, particularly tied to the recent sell-off in gold and silver, which appear to be near short-term lows after a blow-off type move.

That said, I remain bullish on select names. $AAPL ( ▲ 0.82% ) delivered blowout earnings, $SOFI ( ▼ 6.63% ) posted record earnings, and companies like Western Digital $WDC ( ▼ 1.44% ) also reported strong results, yet many stocks were still punished due to broader market catalysts. The appointment of Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve Chairman, who is viewed as slightly less dovish than initially expected, introduced uncertainty. Add in the sharp pullback in precious metals and the possibility of a government shutdown this weekend, and it’s understandable why markets turned defensive. I am currently holding about 19.5 percent in cash, ready to deploy if we see further downside and high-quality opportunities present themselves.

Client Spotlight

This week’s spotlight goes to our client Steve. In just his second month inside Options Trading University, Steve generated a $121,000 six-figure month. Since then, he has consistently produced between $80,000 and $120,000 per month and is now trading options full-time. Even in January’s choppy conditions, he posted a solid 3.3 percent return.

We also saw several other members share $35,000 months and returns north of 4.6 percent, which speaks volumes about consistency and discipline in tough markets.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $CDE ( 0.0% )  
Strategy: Sell the February 13th 17.5 cash-secured put
Premium Collected: Approximately $45 per contract
Duration: 14 days
ROI: 2.46 percent
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): Approximately 33 percent
Risk: Assignment risk exists if CDE trades below 17.5, at which point shares would be owned at an effective lower cost basis

Couer Mining is a gold and silver miner that saw a sharp pullback due to the broader sell-off in precious metals. With the put price sitting near the lower Bollinger Band, this setup offers an attractive entry for selling puts after a volatility-driven drop. The premium reflects elevated fear rather than a deterioration in the underlying business, making this a high-probability income trade in my view.
