Trade Alert – (PLTR) September 15, 2025 – TAKE PROFITS – 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.

I executed this position in one of the best tech companies of the year, Palantir (PLTR), after Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s incredibly bullish speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, opened the door to an imminent rate cut. We piled into PLTR, and the Nasdaq has exploded higher.

We are now taking profits.

The US Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates by .25% at tomorrow’s meeting, but I expect it to be a hawkish cut with traders taking profits. The Fed has now failed at taming inflation and is cutting rates after slow walking the rampant inflation that has exploded higher since 2020. 5 years on and no fix to high prices, and they plan to bail out tech stocks starting tomorrow.

Any selloff could be the last buying opportunity until Christmas.

I am bullish on the Nasdaq.

Here are the specific trades you need to exit this position:

Sell to Close 25 September 2025 (PLTR) $140 calls at………….$91.80

Buy to Close 25 September 2025 (PLTR) $145 calls at………….$86.83

Net Proceeds:……………………..…….………..……………………………$4.97

Note the midpoint math ($91.80-$86.40=$5.4) is over $5, therefore a limit order just below it should get the order filled.

Profit: $4.97 – $4 = $.97

(25 X 100 X $.97) = $2,425 or 24.25%

 

 

 

 

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.
