Power Plays Options Update
Trim TSLL calls, Trim JD Calls, Close NVDA Calls, Close GLD Puts
May 12, 2025
By Scott Redler
The market is up huge today on the US-China trade news, and we'll take four actions for Power Plays Options:
- Trim 1/3 of the TSLL May 16 $11 Calls, leaving us with 1/3
- Trim 1/2 of the JD 5/16 $35 Calls, leaving us with 1/2
- Close the remaining 1/2 of the NVDA 5/16 $116 Calls
- Close the remaining 1/3 of the GLD 5/16 $300 Puts
All these names go in the win column, though I had higher hopes for the GLD puts.
Tesla (TSLA) is up big premarket and approaching resistance at $325, so TSLL may need a break.
JD.com (JD) is up nicely as China Stocks surge.
I may look for a way to maneuver back into NVIDIA (NVDA) this week so keep an eye out for an alert there. But for now it's already near resistance at $122.
GLD could break under $295 this week, but we're so close to expiration this Friday I'd rather just move on for now.

About Power Plays Options
Thank you for joining Scott's first dedicated options service as one of our charter members.
Since PPO is an all-new service, we may adjust some aspects of the format and content in the coming weeks. But, the focus will remain on providing high quality ideas for you to consider.
Depending upon the name, Scott may not introduce a specific exit plan at the time of idea initiation. This is because options prices can move so far so fast, and Scott prioritizes flexibility.
However, if Power Plays removes an options idea (whether it's up or down), Scott will notify you with an alert.
