Before I get into the earnings preview I wanted to say that this substack is growing beyond what I can handle, we’re at 1800 subscribers now and the nature of this being options and charts, the amount of daily emails and requests I’m receiving are just overwhelming. So I wanted to say going forward I will not be answering any emails. There is a tremendous discord community that I built around this substack and there are hundreds of members in there who can answer any question you have. I don’t think you all realize how many financial professionals are sitting in that discord, I am not the only one that can answer your questions. I don’t mean this to be rude, I just mean that unless you’ve tried answering 200+ emails and dm’s daily on your own, you’ve never lived. This isn’t something where I can hire someone to help because people want my insight not some customer service agent. If you have a very serious question of course I’m always available but please reach out to me in the discord first, no more with the “can you tell me your opinion on this” or “how does this chart look” questions. The main thing is about 80% of members are not on the discord, I need you to go on there. It makes my life so much easier when you ask your questions to the community and not just me.
I made a requests channel in the discord and someone offered to help. I gave him access to the database and he will answer your query requests when he can in there but try to be respectful of luck masters time and don’t ask for countless pulls. It really doesn’t seem like much, but put yourself in my shoes and you’d see how quickly it can burn you out getting all these requests. Any of you who have emailed me know the long, detailed replies you get back from me, I’m meticulous in replying to you all and I just realize I can’t continue to do that as this scales up.
Which brings me to my next point. Every person subscribed by Sunday night, whatever price you’re currently paying that is the price you will pay forever. Some of you from day 1, that is as little as $19/mo. Sunday night at 10 pm CST, my time, I’m raising the price to $99 per month and that’s it. Make sure your credit card on file is up to date and doesn’t expire because if it does I can’t adjust it manually. I’m sorry but I need to slow down the amount of new people joining going forward, I have plenty of people on here so if another person never joined, this substack would still be a tremendous thing. I never wanted to be inaccessible to retail investors but I just can’t continue like this. I know what I charge is a fraction of what the raw data with no modeling costs so I understand why this is working well. The other reason I know the price is more than fair is because since free trials began to be utilized in January, I’m at a 90% conversion rate on people who give it a try and churn is almost non-existent.
I was told by my rep that these numbers are the best they’ve ever seen on a subscription service. So in an effort to reward everyone who has been here this whole time up until now, congrats, you will forever pay far less than any new member after Sunday if you decide to stay. Again please don’t email later that something happened because I really can’t manually adjust payment for 1 person.
The Week Ahead
64 names reporting next week and this is all the option flow I have noted as unusual on all of them. Like last week I’m going to organize all the names for the week ahead based on when they report, premarket or after-hours. The data is the data, you can read into it however you like, I’ve told you many times how I read into it and for me the put sales are all that matters in terms of levels institutions are interested in names.
Sunday I will have my best idea for the week ahead but I wanted to get this out to you ASAP on because there are just so many names to look over that I figured you probably need a couple days to draw up your own gameplan if you plan on playing these. As always you need to check the open interest to make sure a trade you’re interested in is still there, most will be, but many will have closed out. Just remember these are the only open trades remaining in my dataset, anything else you remember seeing has expired if its not here.
