Trade Alert – (UBER) August 22, 2025 – STOP LOSS – SELL
When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline.

US Fed Chair Jerome Powell used his 8th and last Jackson Hole speech to move markets instead of talking about his legacy.
He played up the threat to the employment numbers, causing the market to price in a rate cut at the next Fed meeting.
Tech stocks are shooting higher, and it makes no sense to keep this UBER call spread as we head into September and Powell is on a mission to boost tech stocks higher.
Readers should be risk on right now.
Prices are volatile this morning as shares whipsaw.

If you are uncertain about how to execute a bear put options spread, please watch my training video by clicking here.
The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
