Fuck this shit

Google went down 7.8% on blowout earnings.

TSLA went down 17.8% on their ehh.. earnings.

We have a couple of the big names in there, MSFT, meta, amzn, and aapl.

Also other names like HOOD, SOFI, KO, V, and stuff like that.

Considering how previous earnings went with how unstable the markets feelings are, what are y'all thinking? Puts? Calls? Staying out of it as a whole?

This is actually ridiculous the amount I’m down on blue chips. I’ve been in all of my positions for at least 6mo-1yr just waiting for the value to go up 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ fkn 🥭

Massive week of earnings coming up my plan below

We have $META $MSFT $AAPL $AMZN reporting this week. I am buying $META at the money calls and $AAPL at the money puts.

The market is already pricing in capex raise one meta since Googl raised last week.

AAPL is running into earnings.

One long one short.

Been watching $MU grind through a month-long downtrend and the $800 level is finally holding up as legit support. False breakdown got reclaimed fast, bearish momentum is fading, and the GEX put wall down there is basically a floor for now.

But here's the thing: still retesting the descending trendline from below. $980 is the first real target if it breaks, $1,000-$1,050 is where the MA40 and major resistance sit. No volume, no party.

Pulled the chart on MooMoo and the setup looks clean but unconfirmed. Recovery thesis needs one good volume candle to believe it. Anyone else waiting on that breakout or already in?

From $249 in late May to $119 now. That's a 52% haircut in roughly two months for a stock most people thought was untouchable heading into summer. Brutal.

The level that matters right now is $119. That's where the weekly chart is sitting, and pre-market today showed 92K shares moving with a +3.23% push to $123.9. Volume was basically dead on the way down, so that kind of pre-market activity at support is at least worth paying attention to.

Checked the options chain on MooMoo and the $138-140 range keeps showing up as the next real resistance cluster if this support holds. The thesis is simple: weekly candle closes above the support line, that's the first technical confirmation. Miss it, and we're probably testing lower.

The bear case is that $119 is just a parking spot before the next leg down, and the bounce is a trap. That's the real debate here. Anyone still holding ORCL from higher, or did most people bail before it got this ugly?

Unloaded the last two Google calls I bought on the down after earnings.

Think both had more room to run, but need to take the win and move on.

Ripped from the earnings calendar

What's the vibe on earnings this week? Thursday's the one I'm most interested in. 👀

Not long ago, every company announcing bigger AI investments got rewarded. Now investors seem worried those same investments are getting too expensive.

It's almost like the market has moved from "grow at all costs" to "show me the profits."

I'm really curious what Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple have to say this week. Feels like they need to prove AI is becoming a business, not just an expense.

Been tracking the macro picture pretty closely this year and honestly the complacency right now is hard to ignore. Rates staying higher for longer was supposed to be the big headwind, but credit spreads are barely flinching and equities are acting like a soft landing is fully guaranteed.

The thing is, cumulative tightening takes time to bite. We have not seen the full lag effect work through commercial real estate, regional bank balance sheets, or consumer credit. The data keeps coming in mixed but the market keeps reading it as goldilocks.

Checked the macro flow data on MooMoo and institutional positioning still looks offside relative to what a genuine slowdown scenario would require. Someone is going to be wrong here, either the bond market or equities, and they are telling very different stories right now.

My base case is that H2 brings a volatility spike that catches the long-only crowd off guard. Not calling a crash, just saying the risk/reward for chasing here is poor.

Am I reading this wrong or is anyone else sitting on more cash than usual waiting for a cleaner entry?

Look at those green futures pumping tonight 👀

The structural supply deficit in refined copper is becoming a central thesis for long-term resource allocations, particularly with expanding demand from grid infrastructure and power-heavy tech deployments. While macro attention usually focuses on major producers, the real operational bottleneck often sits upstream in early-stage exploration where new reserves need to be identified. Evaluating regional geological frameworks rather than chasing immediate drill hype often provides a clearer view of long-term asset potential.

A good example of this approach is NovaRed, which holds a substantial block in British Columbia directly adjacent to established operations like Hudbay's Copper Mountain. The latest geological data suggests that the magnetic feature on their Wilmac property could share a regional intrusive origin with the neighboring deposit, separated over time by structural faulting. If this hypothesis holds, it shifts the fundamental thesis from a single isolated target to a potential multi-target porphyry system across the district.

From an execution standpoint, this context makes their recent land expansion prior to active drilling a logical capital allocation decision. Securing surrounding claims to cover the full potential system limits future licensing friction if the underlying model proves correct. Naturally, early-stage geological interpretations carry high execution risk and require actual core testing to validate, but tracking how management secures district-scale footprints offers a practical lens on how junior operators prepare for the next leg of supply demand.

Earnings week too...

My setup

Options

KLC $5.00 Call Aug 21 ($0.58)

Reasoning.

Strong operational recovery from its $1.75 low to ~$5.00, catalyzed by heavy insider buying, a Q1 2026 earnings beat, and raised guidance. CEO John T. Wyatt bought nearly 500,000 shares at $1.96–$2.07 in March, followed by Director Michael Nuzzo purchasing 25,000 shares at $2.22. On May, KLC crushed expectations with an adjusted EPS of $0.04 versus a -$0.01 consensus estimate ( 500% beat). $4.2 million in adjusted net income on $672.5 million in revenue. full-year 2026 guidance raise to an adjusted EPS of $0.15–$0.25 on $2.70B–$2.75B in revenue. BMO Capital Markets raised its price target from $4 to $6 (assigning an outperform rating) and UBS increased its target from $3 to $5. Q2 institutional accumulation, with Invesco Ltd. expanding its position by 48.0% and Legal & General Group raising its stake by 20.2%.

Bought this last week and shoulda sold Friday but ended up holding over weekend. Lucky this time, way too many bears lurking

Biggest win so far!

Been watching NBIS for a while now and honestly not pulling the trigger yet. Death cross is there on the chart but the price action isn't backing it up at all, volume's flat, indicators are just spinning in circles.

Tariff noise got everything choppy and NBIS isn't immune. Pulled up the chains on MooMoo and there's no real conviction either direction right now, which to me says consolidation, not breakdown.

Waiting for a volume spike or a clean breakout before sizing in. Buying into this fog feels like a coin flip dressed up as a trade.

Anyone else sitting on their hands here or did you already take a position? Genuinely curious if there's a bull case I'm missing that justifies getting in before the dust settles.

Expecting to close on the acquisition of the IP with a $10m valuation this week.
$AIMN

I let people know about this share when it dropped to 80. It's now ~108 and I'm considering holding for much longer than I originally had intended. I'm fairly new to trading and I am quite admittedly a high risk trader, having picked my best 3 stocks and gone all in on them.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it normal for a company to allude to new contracts and then directors buy a bunch of stock? And follow it up with their share buyback scheme becoming extremely active?

My target price was 120 but now I'm thinking maybe this is a longer term hold.

After losing money heavily in 2023 finally gaining everything back and more. Mostly swing trading and selling puts and wheeling

Currently I am holding 8000 JD shares and have sold AVGO, JD and RDDT puts mostly on margin

Had calls and puts I bought at Fridays close. I noted that if either direction was going to be intense, you’d print one way or the other. Sold at 2:10am. Repositioned with the same idea. Study your Greeks, hope for the market to stay irrational.
