We gapped down, chopped and closed near the lows, with the Nasdaq holding up better than the S&P. SanDisk tagged $1,800 and gave most of it back, which is exactly what this stock does, and I see real support around $1,700. If we gap down 40 or 50 points tomorrow I want to be a buyer there.

Tomorrow night at 6 PM CT I am unveiling SPX Advantage, an AI powered dashboard that turns options flow, gamma exposure and dealer positioning into one simple read on the S&P 500. It is free to attend.

John Carter’s father was a Morgan Stanley stock broker. One day during high school, John came home from the mall where he was working at a store making cookies. He had saved up $1,000 over the course of a few months and his dad told him that he and some of his friends were going to buy “some call options on Intel” the next day. With his father’s direction, he bought 10 call options at $0.75, and sold them a few days later for $1.50, doubling his money. He was hooked and has been trading ever since—going on 25+ years now.
