Option Strategies: .SPX, TWLO, DDOG& INTC

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some technical analysis with you!

1.

Is Trump and his administration really going to force U.S. companies to go with $Intel(INTC)$ as a foundry when the superior technology resides with $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ ???

Highly doubt that Taiwan Semiconductor wants to share its technology with Intel. Also highly doubt that U.S. companies want a crappier product via weaker technology.

Best thing for Trump to do would be to force Intel to improve their product/business versus forcing Taiwan Semiconductor to comply.

Forcing the competition (TSM) to weaken itself does not solve the root issue of "MAGA", which is that the American company (INTC) sucks and needs to improve from within to truly be "great again" rather than piggybacking off shared tech/knowledge from TSM.

2.

Well this $Datadog(DDOG)$ trade worked out very nicely! Will close it out to free up buying power for the next trade.

Also, $Reddit(RDDT)$ and $Robinhood(HOOD)$ trades are profitable and closed out. 🤑

3.

$Twilio(TWLO)$ announces earnings after the closing bell today. Expected move is ~9%.

There is a big gap down to the 115 level with no volume support in-between. Will be targeting that level for a cash-secured put, Feb 21 expiry.

0DTE $S&P 500(.SPX)$ - Strongest gamma stack for today is at the 6095 strike.

Missed entry on a call credit spread when SPX tapped above 6090. That said, might still take an #Optionselling call credit spread trade, targeting above the 6100 strike.

Waiting for Trump to announce tariff news before we sell any put credit spreads. Supposedly that news is going out at 10am pst today.
