A look at $Quantumscape Corp.(QS)$ flagging price action, using $Figma(FIG)$ flag as a reference.Thanks to everyone who joined the earlier poll. There’s no definitive “right” or “wrong” view on the QS chart—your perspective depends on your timeframe. From my view, QS saw a +250% rally over 20 days, followed by a -45% pullback in the next 10 sessions, which on a 2-month lens forms a bull flag.Flip the timeframe to one month, and you could instead call it a bear flag: a -45% drop over 10 sessions, followed by a +15% VCP bounce in the next 8.Both trades could work here, given the tight, sideways price action. The prevailing trend, however, still leans up if you go by the 50-MA (comparable to the 10-week MA). Th

$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ Waiting to bottom fish at 100. Most of the new put positions are still bearish with strikes above 100.On the call side, most open interest comes from selling (bearish), and the strikes are all over the place—no clear direction. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ NVDA is still trading in the 175–185 range this week. New put positions suggest the stock could dip below 175 but stay above 170 next week.This week’s close should be a repeat of last Friday—no surprises. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Institutions are opening bear call spreads at 360–365, which is a more hedged version of my own sell call yesterday. Same expectation: TSLA should close below 360 this week.Put o

Treasury’s Single-Stock Ban Bombshell: Will Your Portfolio Survive the Shake-Up?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has dropped a market-shaking proposal, pushing for a congressional ban on single-stock trading, arguing that “the American people deserve better than politicians like Nancy Pelosi with hedge-fund level returns.” Announced on August 14, 2025, this bold move targets the $2.5 trillion daily equity market, spotlighting concerns over insider trading and wealth gaps. With the S&P 500 at 6,466.58, Nasdaq at 21,713.14, and the Dow at 44,922.27 reflecting a bullish session, Bitcoin’s $124,002 surge to a $2.457 trillion market cap adds complexity. Tariffs (30% on EU/Mexico, 35% on Canada) and oil at $75/barrel heighten volatility, with the VIX at 14.49. Could this ban reshape your investments, or is it a fleeting threat? This deep dive explores the implications,

VIX: Reading the Market’s “Thermometer” | #OptionsHandbook EP019
When big events hit, stock volatility jumps — but each stock moves on its own. To see the market’s overall “temperature,” traders watch the VIX (Volatility Index). 📘 In The Options Handbook, you’ll find a full breakdown of the VIX: ▶ What is VIX? 💡 Nicknamed the "fear index," the VIX measures market expectations for volatility over the next 30 days. It's calculated using $S&P 500(.SPX)$ index options. High VIX (>30) = the market is in panic mode. Investors buy protection, and option prices jump. Low VIX (<15) = the market is calm or overconfident. Risk feels cheap, and so do options. Historically, sharp spikes in the VIX often align with signif

Apple Soars on $100B US Investment: Is Tariff Challenge Gone?
Apple has made a monumental move, announcing an additional $100 billion investment in the United States. President Donald Trump said Apple would be exempt from chip tariffs, removing a major cloud that had been hanging over the tech giant’s supply chain. During a White House press conference to discuss Apple’s new US manufacturing plans, in a moment that mixed corporate diplomacy with symbolism, Apple CEO Tim Cook presented Trump with a “unique” piece of glass from iPhone glass manufacturer Corning that’s set in a 24-karat gold base. It was a gleaming reminder of Apple’s American manufacturing ties. Tariff or Not, Apple’s Strength Endures While the tariff exemption is clearly good news, Apple’s success has never rested on policy breaks alone. The company’s brand power, loyal customer base,
