I told Power Plays Options Subscribers the following on Wednesday: I believe NVIDIA (NVDA) is at risk of a post-earnings decline so I am adding this position: Long NVDA February 28 $120 Puts These puts look good in the $2.75 to $3.50 area (or lower). With Nvidia&#8217;s decline off its highs and lower valuation, some believe a lot of bad news priced in. I disagree. We&#8217;re still looking at a stock with a $3 trillion market cap and rosy expectations for endless long-term growth. So to me, the odds favor a post earnings decline. If this report isn&#8217;t anything less than 100% shoot-out-the-lights perfect, we could see a hard drop below the $120 area. Incidentally, this was the first put options idea in Power Plays Options history. We did get the hard drop in NVDA stock below $120 &#8212; but it unfolded over the course of 2 days. In fact, NVDA put in 4 sell signals the day after earnings (yes, 4 sell signals in one day) as you can see in this chart: I love teaching my Sell Rules &#8212; and this is an interesting case study because you so rarely see so many hit in one day. Here&#8217;s how NVDA&#8217;s decline happened so fast: Sell Signal #1: NVDA hit $135+ the day after earnings, a good spot to trim since the report was solid but not spectacular Sell Signal #2: the stock broke down through $133,73, a prior high. Sell Signal #3: NVDA went red and lost the 8\/21\/50 day moving averages Sell Signal #4: NVDA breaks the $124.44 prior low. It also broke the 200 day moving average here, though I didn&#8217;t put this in the chart above to avoid it being too crowded. And on Friday, we got that hard break below $120, with NVDA hitting a low of $116.41. We cashed in the puts for Power Plays Options shortly after the open for a 62% gain. I was tempted to roll the dice and hold the puts longer, but I didn&#8217;t want to take the risk of them turning into a zero. That turned out to be the right decision because as of the time I&#8217;m writing this, NVDA is over $122\u00a0 and those puts are headed towards zero fast. *Scott Redler Positions Disclosure as of 2025-02-28 at 10.32.43 AM &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":75075,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[736],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-scott-redler-dog-bytes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77280"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77290,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77280\/revisions\/77290"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.t3live.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
