Saw an opportunity to buy a call option while the stock was down and leveling out yesterday so I seized it. About an hour later, the stock started to go up slowly but surely. Sold my options at market open the next day for a nice profit before the stock went back down again.

As usual, let's dive into some of the standout contributions from our community last week.

I initially had a put option on this stock, and held it for a few days until the day when Trump threatened the EU with tariffs. I made a very miniscule profit, as the drop wasnt too substantial compared to my entry point. I immediately switched to buying a call option when the stock leveled out towards market close, and was pleased when this stock rose in response to the pause on EU tariffs over Memorial Day weekend. Sold my options at the peak today righ...

I initially bought a put option and was making peanuts from it. I exited right before the stock started to rally for the first time. When news about the tech sector seemed promising, I switched teams from bear to bull and bought a call option. The news about the trade deal came in post-market, and exited this morning right when the stock was starting to go down from its peak. Couldn’t ask for better timing.

It was a week of narrow fluctuations for markets, with $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ staying within a tight range, moving less than 1% in either direction for five consecutive days. This subdued price action reflected a sense of caution, with $CBOE Volatility S&P 500 Index (.VIX.US)$ remaining above 20, signaling elevated market uncertainty. By the end of the week, $NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$ saw a slight decline of 0.2%, while $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ dropped ...

Bought a put at a hard-to-beat lowball price compared to the actual market price at the time. Earnings came in yesterday, and, after watching the premarket for a few minutes, took profit right at the bottom with a beautiful exit before it started to go up again.

Last Friday, with the $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ and the $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ rising for the ninth consecutive session, the indices erased all the losses incurred since Trump's tariff announcement on April 2.

95-year-old Buffett will celebrate his 60th anniversary at the helm of Berkshire Hathaway. This is also a historic moment as it marks the first appearance of the 'trio' (Buffett + successor Greg Abel + insurance giant Ajit Jain) since the passing of his long-time partner Charlie Munger. What market-disrupting predictions might be hidden in this meeting, which has been jokingly referred to as 'possibly the Oracle of Omaha's last full parti...
