📚 Deep Dive 📚

Weekly Options Recap: June 2 – June 6, 2025

RobinhoodHOOD +175% Runner, Amazon AMZN Comeback, and a Palantir PLTR Flop

It was a choppy but opportunistic week in the options market. Despite some turbulence, especially on Thursday—we managed to grab solid wins in key names.

Robinhood (HOOD) stole the spotlight with a runner exploding +175% on the $70 calls. Amazon (AMZN) came roaring back mid-week, giving us a strong 40% gain off the $210 calls. We also stayed active on the dip with fresh buys in HIMS and Nvidia NVDA.

Palantir (PLTR) hit early in the week with a +32% return for us on Tuesday. If you locked it in, well done! Unfortunately, holding through that close and finally the Thursday chop drained the remaining premium—a reminder that profits booked are profits kept!!

✅ This Week's Winners:

  • AMZN 6/6 $210c – +40%

  • HOOD 6/20 $70c – +40% (runner +175%)

❌ This Week's Loss:

  • PLTR 6/6 $135c – Initial spike hit +32%, but closed out red if held

⏳ Open Positions (Holding):

  • ⏳ HIMS 6/13 $55c
  • ⏳ NVDA 6/20 $150c
  • ⏳ TSLA 6/20 $350c
