Don Kaufman here. I Just wrapped up Schwab’s Trading 360 show. Marley and Kayden had me break down three trades live on air. Apple. Silver. ExxonMobil. Three completely different setups. Three different strategies. But here’s the thing… Each one is based on the same core principle I’ve been hammering home: retail options order flow is
Don Kaufman here. And welcome to another episode of “The Media Gets Everything Wrong.” This morning everyone’s talking about the big rally on government reopening news. Futures were up 62 handles when I woke up. Every major channel is running the same story – markets celebrate as Senate passes deal to end shutdown. Here’s the
Don Kaufman here. My computer literally crashed the moment I started talking sh*t about Apple. I’m not kidding. Mid-sentence, explaining why AAPL was about to get destroyed, my entire setup went dark. Had to restart everything. “I was talking crap about Apple. Apple, yeah. By the way, if it happens again, it’s like, you know,
Don Kaufman here. Holy crap, I’ve never seen anything like this. We’re sitting at all-time highs – literally a day or two removed from them – and retail is acting like it’s the end of the world. The liquidity concentration has never been more extreme, and it’s getting worse by the day. The Numbers Don’t
Don Kaufman here. This morning on Schwab’s Big 3 Show, I warned about something most traders are missing. Stocks hitting all-time highs while economic weakness builds underneath. “Bearish feel out there in the marketplace,” I said – but these names keep climbing anyway. Amazon just gained $200 billion in market cap off a $38 billion
Don Kaufman here. While everyone else was losing their minds during the April 2025 crash, I was placing my biggest trade of the year. Not because I’m reckless – because I know something most traders don’t: chaos is where the real money gets made. Let me be clear about something: I haven’t taken one losing
Don Kaufman here. You know what nobody’s talking about with this morning’s $38 billion Amazon-OpenAI deal? It’s not about the deal itself – it’s about the desperation behind it. Sam Altman is writing checks his company can’t afford, and he’s running out of time to find the money. That money has to come from one
Don Kaufman here. I need to tell you about this Microsoft butterfly that just closed for 297%. Earlier this week I put on the trade at 63 cents. This morning, it was up over 100%. You know what everyone was saying? “Take the money and run, Don. Lock in your gains.” Screw that. You want
Don Kaufman here. Yesterday at 3 PM, I placed a single options trade on Google earnings. Cost: 64 cents per contract. This morning: 203% profits. Here’s exactly how it happened – the precise strikes, the mathematical reasoning, and why tonight’s Amazon and Apple earnings could deliver the same systematic profits. The Exact Google Setup That
Don Kaufman here. This morning on Schwab’s Big 3 Show, I told you volatility was coming. Powell just proved me right. “Not a foregone conclusion. Far from it,” he said about December rate cuts. The Dow reversed 200 points in minutes. Markets went from euphoria to panic in real time. But I saw this setup
