Power Plays Options Update
July 8, 2025

By Scott Redler

We might be heading into a tricky market period so I wanted to chime in with an update.

My base case for this week is that we consolidate some of the huge gains we've seen since the March-April lows.

Between tariff headlines and the approach of earnings season, we do have multiple sources of potential anxiety that could weigh on the tap and drive some modest profit-taking.

Plus, there's a bigger issue.

There's just no sustained power out there. We're not seeing many names make big moves and hold them.

This is a problem for options positions because we don't want to sit around watching options decline in price from time decay.

With options, we want big moves, fast.

So there may not be a new Power Plays Options idea this week.

Remember, I will not send you ideas unless I believe they can work.

I will never send an idea just for the sake of it, especially if the market looks tricky.

If it's time to flip the switch, I'll alert you ASAP.

And of course, we do have multiple ideas in one week when things look good.

We had over 10 in June alone.

So until further notice, less is more!

Good luck out there, and stay safe.

We do have a number of positions expiring Friday so stay tuned for updates on those.

I may look to close or roll some of them early.

These are not Power Plays ideas.

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.
