Portfolio Review: Fortinet and Tesla [8:27]
Fortinet (FTNT) is held due to the attractiveness of the cybersecurity sector, with its valuation metrics improving despite a price decrease. Tesla (TSLA) saw a price increase, and the presenter is selling calls against his shares to collect premium, taking advantage of the stock's range-bound movement.
Options Trades: TLT, Google, and Nvidia [10:36]
A bullish options trade on TLT (bonds) is performing well, with potential for 75% max profit. Google (GOOGL) has presented a challenge as the stock price jumped above the strike price of sold calls, potentially leading to shares being called away. Despite this, the presenter is up significantly on Google shares. The decision to sell Nvidia (NVDA) shares earlier is viewed positively as the stock has since declined, potentially allowing for repurchase at a lower price.
Options Trades: Clorox, Exxon Mobil, and Airbnb [12:43]
A bullish options bet on Clorox (CLX) is highly successful, with the stock price rising significantly. Exxon Mobil (XOM) calls that were sold have moved back out of the money due to a drop in energy prices, and the presenter may roll them out to continue collecting premium. Airbnb (ABNB) has been profitable through selling calls, and the presenter is content with potentially having the shares called away.
Portfolio Review: Robinhood and Amazon [14:38]
Robinhood (HOOD) declined following the NFP report, increasing the value of previously sold calls, which may be bought back for profit. Amazon (AMZN) has a high score on the Stockbox and the presenter has sold calls against his shares to generate income, balancing potential upside with premium collection.
Portfolio Challenges: Lululemon [16:48]
Lululemon (LULU) has performed poorly, with significant losses despite selling calls to cushion the impact. Although the company beat earnings estimates, disappointing guidance led to a stock decline. The presenter plans to continue selling calls to potentially break even, despite slower earnings and revenue growth.
Stocks to Watch: Weeble, Coinbase, Mastercard and United Health Group [19:38]
Weeble (WEBULL) is being watched as a speculative position due to the presenter's positive experience with the product and better-than-expected earnings. Coinbase (COIN) is also of interest in the broker space. Mastercard (MA) and United Health Group (UNH) are showing strength, with potential opportunities based on pullbacks or breakouts. Despite the market being at all-time highs, individual stock opportunities exist.
