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.

Buying META right here after tech stocks have trended down the past week.

META stock is trading around $650 after a recent pullback from highs near $790, creating a compelling setup for a short-duration call option trade right now.

This is a tactical short-term bet.

Meta’s Q4 2025 earnings crushed expectations with 24% revenue growth to ~$60B and EPS of $8.88, driven by AI-powered ad improvements and record engagement.

Guidance for Q1 2026 remains strong, with analysts projecting 29% upside to targets around $860.

Heavy AI infrastructure spending ($115-135B in 2026) has pressured the stock short-term, but this positions Meta as a leader in AI monetization—similar to past cycles where big bets paid off massively.

Don’t pay more than $4.10 – prices are highly volatile in this name this morning for good reason.

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

Buy to Open 25 March 2026 (META) $595 calls at…………$62.70

Sell to short 25 March 2026 (META) $600 calls at………….$58.70

Net Cost:…………………………………………..…….………..………..$4.00

Potential Profit: $5 – $4 = $1

(25 X 100 X 1) = $2,500 or 25.00% in 35 days

 

 

 

 

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.
