Please see update on Apple. We’re about to put on a trade to sell the April $250 calls short against our April $220 calls. Right now, they’re trading at $6.40 which is plenty of premium. We get a lot of protection from selling those.
If we weren’t able to sell those call against our postion, we might call it a day with Apple and might just close out the position. The stock did rebound nearly 10% off of oversold conditions as we forecasted.
The problem with earnings is that it has the potential to derail the rally and push the stock lower. Protection needs to be bought.
Also note, we’re going to soon put on a trade in Microsoft. we’re going to buy the April $415 call options to play the oversold bounce in Microsoft.
Sam the email and messages alerts did not come through for this daily briefing and the trades, i only saw the X alert for the trades.
The text came through for me at 1 PM/1300 Eastern. I haven’t gotten any “Just in at Sam Weiss” emails today, though, for the daily briefing or the trade alert.
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully, that’s fixed. I saw something in settings that may have caused the issues. Let me know if it continues.
Thanks Sam
Hey Sam,
Wanted to follow up your mention about adding to the risk management chapters. Not sure if WordPress allows this or not, but it would be really helpful if there was a comment section where we can post questions about the material. I find myself in many situations where I understand 80% of the material, but want to ask follow up questions on the remaining 20% to solidify my understanding. This would help others who have the same questions as well. I find your Investing Basics content super super valuable for deepening my understanding your daily articles 🙂
That’s a really good suggestion. I’m going to add that feature right now.
So here’s what I’ll do. I will add a Q&A section to each chapter and all you have to do is just reference the specific chapter number within that chapter, and then I can answer questions.
At the outset, I didn’t want to add comments to pages only because I didn’t want to inundate the chapter pages with questions as it was lengthen the webpage
But what we can do is simply add one last section to every chapter, and that section will be a Q&A for that particular chapter. That’s really easy to do.
It was a mistake, not including that to begin with. Hence, why anytime anyone has a suggestion they should make it because I will implement it.
Thanks for asking as it just got me thinking about something that is very obvious.
Take a look. Will add this feature to every chapter later tonight. For now, you can find it on Chapter 1. It’s the last tab called Chapter 1 Q&A. If you can’t read the tabs due to mobile, just click next until it gets you there. We’re working on a drop-down feature of mobile. We already have the dropdown menu going on the portfolio pages. We’ll add to the Chapters soon as well.
Also, I added a function to make it so that the Chapter 1 Q&A opens to a new page so that if you’re reading something in Chapter 1.3 it doesn’t navigate you away from the page. You can ask a question and go back to your spot on the previous page:

Here’s the Q&A page directly:

Thanks for taking the time to do that, I really appreciate it! I’m sure this will help people as they go through the material.
NVDA does not want to touch hourly 30-RSI at all, lol
I know right!! Wish it would do it already lol
Edited this comment to save me some embarrassment
AAPL responded positively to earnings after hours it seems!
Looking forward to what we plan to do with our Baratheon covered calls now that its creeping up to 250.
I presume we’re gonna wait for a pullback sometime between now and April, given how hard AAPL has rallied recently. Which probably means we’re also looking to sell covered calls on our Stark AAPL calls.
This has been the most trading I’ve personally done in a single week. I’m practically glued to the screen!
Hi Sam, do you think there is a genuine risk of NVDA pulling back to the $110 range due to breaching its 200 day moving average?
Not at the moment.
For the Apple commonstock, is the plan to hold until April? Do you anticipate another pullback for AAPL in between then?
So for Apple common stock, it means that we own it in a long-term portfolio. That is Frey, Tarly and Tyrell.
In those portfolios, we have no plans to sell those anytime soon. Maybe 10 years from now or something.
Any common stock positions we buy or long-term. The only selling we do is cover calls. We sell intermediate term covered calls if we feel that a stock is gonna top out soon.
Otherwise, the positions we’re holding in the long-term portfolios are really long-term.

Baratheon and Targaryen are trading portfolios. In those portfolios, we do trade short term moves in the market.
omg, where is our Sammy. NVDA is flying flying right now. Time to buy more ?
Buy high?! I don’t think it’s a good idea lol
lol we say “high” but this would be considered a low just a week ago before DeepSeek
We’ll get there soon. We’re holding enough Nvidia in almost all of our portfolios. For Frey and Stark, we have 2/3rds of our targeted positions. We’ve got Nvidia coming out of ears in Lannister, Arryn, Tyrell and Tarly.
Baratheon can use another call for sure.
Targaryen would love to add some contracts to our spread.
But we need to see Nviida push down to oversold conditions first.
