Expect volatility to stay, says Adam Coons. He makes the case that policy to come will continue to build on uncertainty and lead to a stock picker's market. One of Adam's stock picks: LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMHF), as the most wealthy consumers continue to spend on high-value items. He also points to Alphabet (GOOGL), Apple (AAPL), and CrowdStrike (CRWD) as three stocks to gain 20% or more as the "next AI winners."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Apple (AAPL) shares were mixed for a good part of Friday's session. Dion Hinchcliffe believes investors want to see more for Apple Intelligence after the company announced its partnership with Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Gemini. He sees China sales as a growing stronghold, so long as geopolitical concerns don't ignite. Jed Ellerbroek adds that Apple's "legendarily awesome" supply chain will give the Mag 7 giant pricing power. That said, services remains a sticky point after its in-line number. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Apple (AAPL) "executed well enough," says David Nicholson, "and that's enough." The company posted record quarterly revenue yet again but its services revenue came in-line. However, David sees a "tectonic shift" taking place with its partnership in Alphabet's (GOOGL) Google Gemini that he suggests investors not ignore. He sees Gemini insulating margins from Nvidia (NVDA). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Kevin Davitt lays out his expectations for Apple (AAPL) earnings and post-report moves after Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) moved opposite ways. He explains why the SEC has expanded the Monday and Wednesday expiration cycles and the work that Nasdaq has done to assist. He calls it a “demand-driven expansion” as more investors are accessing options, and says “ultimately, we have to balance the desire to grow the market…with the demand for an orderly marketplace.” ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Don Nesbitt talks about how Apple (AAPL) faces a critical earnings test as investors weigh the growth of its high-margin services segment against the hardware dominance of the iPhone. While Western Digital (WDC) and other suppliers benefit from data center demand, Apple must navigate these input costs alongside a complex regulatory environment. The discussion also focuses on the company's competitive standing against Huawei in China and the potential impact of tariffs on the bottom line. Don examines how the relationship between CEO Tim Cook and the Trump administration might mitigate trade headwinds in the U.S. market.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Daniel Rubino with Windows Central offers his perspective on the first half of Mag 7 companies reporting earnings this week. For Microsoft (MSFT), he believes the enterprise tech firm remains in a "great position" due to its Azure cloud platform and multi-modal AI approach. As for Apple (AAPL), Daniel sees why the company took a step back from AI but remains on the sidelines when it comes to determining if it will pay off. He later explains why Meta Platforms (META) isn't in as strong of a positioning as the most bullish analysts believe. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode of the Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down a wild Tuesday in the options pits where the "usual suspects" shared the stage with some massive earnings-driven volatility. While the broader market volume was steady, individual names like Micron (MU) and UnitedHealth (UNH) stole the spotlight with explosive moves and unusual paper. The Countdown Highlights: The Nvidia Standard: Even on a "light" day, Nvidia (NVDA) holds the #1 spot with 1.46 million contracts. We look at the $190 calls as traders bet on a return to the mid-session highs. UNH's Earnings Crater: The healthcare giant plummeted nearly 20% following a disappointing outlook. We dive into the massive open interest on the $600 calls—expiring in 2027—and ask: is this a bold recovery play or a massive hedge? Micron is "On Fire": Closing up another 5.4%, Micron's $420 calls are fetching nearly $10.00. How much gas is left in this AI-fueled tank? Tesla Tumbles (in Volume): In a rare twist, Tesla gets kicked to the #4 spot with volume levels roughly half of its daily average. Mark analyzes why the $440 calls are seeing "light" action. Deep Dive into the Tape: From Coreweave (CORW) continuing its repeat rally to Apple (AAPL) seeing rare meaty put action, we track the flow that actually impacts your P&L.
