Trade #1: CVS Earnings Strangle
The Setup: CVS had earnings on deck, and we knew volatility was coming. But instead of guessing which way the stock would move, we played both sides with an options strangle.
Here’s what we did:
- Bought the February 14th 2025 $55 Calls and $54 Puts for around $4.00 total.
- This gave us exposure to a big move in either direction after the earnings report.
The Result: CVS delivered the volatility we were looking for, and we capitalized. This morning, we sold the strangle for $6.80, locking in a +65.85% gain overnight.
While most people were busy guessing whether CVS would go up or down, we positioned ourselves to profit no matter what happened.

“97% win.” – Coachrogers92
“I had set a close at 50% profit because I tend to miss things at the open. Just closed for 6.09, so I got 50%. Very happy!” – Grandma7
“Bryan, you showed the skill you have to create great winners again. 186% gain on CVS. Thanks so much.” – RickR
Trade #2: UPST Earnings Momentum
The Setup: Upstart (UPST) is known for its explosive post-earnings moves. The last three earnings reports saw gains of +48%, +50%, and +20%, so we initially positioned ourselves for a pre-earnings run-up by buying the February calls.
When it became clear that we weren’t getting the pre-earnings run we anticipated, we adjusted the strategy and turned it into an overnight earnings play.
To hedge risk and prepare for potential downside, we lightly added the February puts, creating a strangle.
Despite the company having a history of overshooting during earnings, the options market got it wrong again, underestimating its move, which turned into a payday for our readers.

“BTO UPST Feb 21, 25 $72 Calls @ $8.05, Sold @ $11.345 = $2,302.54 profit! Thanks for the setup, Bryan!” – James GBS
“Picked up another 22% on this strangle too. Nice way to start the day. Thanks, Bryan!” – RickR
“UPST – Feb 21 72C – BTO avg 6.90 STC 16.25 – 136%! BB still gets credit-I just opted to stick with calls. Thanks, Bryan!” – BradT
Trade #3: SPY CPI Strangle – +59%
The Setup: This was the big one. Yesterday, we entered a SPY strangleahead of the CPI report. With inflation data on deck, we knew the market was primed for a big move – either up or down.
Here’s the play:
- Bought the February 12th 2025 $606 Calls and $605 Puts.
- This strangle cost us just a few bucks, but it gave us exposure to a significant market move after the CPI report.
The Result: The CPI report came in hotter than expected, and the market sold off hard. While everyone else was panicking over the market drop, we were cashing out. We sold the strangle for $5.87, locking in a +59% gain.
This is why I love strangles on economic data. When the market moves sharply in either direction, we’re already positioned to profit.

The Bigger Picture: Taking Advantage of Mispriced Options
What do all three trades have in common? Mispriced options.
By capitalizing on volatility spikes, economic data, and earnings expectations, we consistently position ourselves to profit. With preparation, strategy, and execution, we turn market inefficiencies into opportunity.
