Why in-the-money options work right now…

May 01, 2026

Good evening,

I want to explain why in-the-money options tend to work especially well in certain market environments and why right now is one of them:

1. High uncertainty = cleaner directional moves

With macro events (like Federal Reserve decisions or big tech earnings) driving markets, you’re often getting strong, decisive moves instead of slow chop.
In-the-money options have higher delta (closer to 1.0), so they behave more like the stock.
That means when a move actually happens, you capture more of it.

2. Volatility is elevated (but inconsistent)

We’re in a market where implied volatility spikes around events but drops fast after.
Out-of-the-money options get crushed by IV decay after events.
In-the-money options have more intrinsic value, so they’re less dependent on volatility staying high.

👉 You’re not as exposed to getting wrecked by volatility collapsing.

3. Theta (time decay) is less punishing

Right now, a lot of traders are getting chopped up by time decay.
In-the-money options decay slower than out-of-the-money options because more of their price is intrinsic value.
In a market where moves can take a few days to play out, that matters a lot.

4. Better risk-adjusted positioning

Even though in-the-money options cost more upfront: They require a smaller move to profit
They have a higher probability of finishing profitably.

In a market that’s not perfectly trending (which is pretty much always), that higher probability matters more than cheap lottery tickets.

Get Your Hands on Our Next Round of In-the-Money Options Trades

As an In-the-Money Countdown member, you receive 6 trades delivered via email at 7:00 p.m. ETon the Sunday following the first Friday of the month.

That timing is intentional. You get the full set of trades in advance, with time to review each setup on your own schedule before the week begins.

When Monday arrives, you place the trades before the closing bell using the step-by-step instructions provided. From there, you simply manage the positions according to the exit guidance already laid out in your Sunday email.

Every setup follows the same objective: targeting 100% or greater gains in five days or less, within a clearly defined expiration-week window.

Here’s what that looks like when the strategy is put to work.

📈 Gap, Inc.

• Strategy: Straight Buy
• Entry Price: $0.64
• Exit Price: $1.61
• Result: +151.6% in 3 days

IN real dollars, one contract required $640 to enter. Three days later, that position was closed for $1,610, producing a $970 gain from a single, clearly defined trade.

You don’t need a high volume of trades for the strategy to matter. One well-timed 100%+ winner can go a long way toward offsetting discounted access, with additional gains building from there.

That’s the strength of this approach: defined entries, disciplined exits, and meaningful upside, all within a single trading week.

Stop waiting – get on the inside right now!

Imagine locking in two full years of trade alerts for just $95… when the standard one-year rate is sitting way above at $1,747.

That single decision to lock it in gives you 144 fast-moving setups like the Gap trade you just saw.

If the market begins to rally, we’ll be there. If it hits the ground, we’ll be there. We’ve got you covered.

BONUS INCLUDED: Earlier today, my team released our newest special report: Our Summer 2026 Stock Picks.

This report is fully backed by historical data and will provide a full breakdown of what we’re buying in May and holding through October.

Yours for FREE as a thank you for becoming an In-the-Money Countdown member.

Sunday’s trades are being scheduled to deliver. Ensure your email is on that list…

April & Weekly Alerts Recap

May 1, 2026 | Unsubscribe

Hello!

This past week delivered several developing setups and a notable winner to close out the month.

With April now behind us, we want to take a moment to reflect on what was an exceptional month for our community.

We are incredibly grateful for your trust, engagement, encouragement and support as we continue working to identify new opportunities and more winners for you.

As always, our focus is to alert opportunities with upside potential and review outcomes honestly.

April delivered multiple double-digit opportunities, with the biggest winners reaching gains of +92%, +55%, +29%, +26%, +18%, +15%, and +14%.

Top April Alerts:

4/1: 5.64 to 6.46 (+14% in 3 days)
4/2: 8.86 to 13.75 (+55% in 2 weeks)
4/9: 4.52 to 5.85 (+29% in 3 weeks)
4/10: 0.66 to 1.27 (+92% next day)
4/14: 1.35 to 1.71 (+26% in 1 week)
4/20: 1.20 to 1.38 (+15% same day)
4/27: 2.12 to 2.52 (+18% in 1 week)

Congratulations to everyone who benefited from these April moves.

This Week’s Alert

Monday’s alert opened at 2.12 and today reached a high of 2.52, a +18% move. It closed the day strong at 2.46, up +16%, which is often a constructive signal. We are continuing to monitor this opportunity closely for further upside.

Tuesday’s alert opened at 6.26 and we are watching this one closely for upside opportunity as it builds momentum.

Wednesday’s alert opened at 1.09 and we are continuing to watch as it positions for a breakout higher.

Friday’s alert opened at 1.24 and rallied to a high of 1.33, a +7% move, closing the day at 1.30. We are continuing to watch this one for a breakout above its key moving average for further upside.

A Quick Reminder

Our focus remains to alert opportunities with strong sustainable upside, but markets rarely move in a straight line.

Some alerts accelerate immediately, others develop gradually, and a few simply do not materialize.

Small cap stocks can be volatile, and that volatility is what creates opportunity.

To improve your odds of success, always trade with a plan.

Define your stop levels, set clear profit targets, and watch key technical signals such as moving averages, prior highs and lows, and open or close levels that may act as support or resistance.

Looking Ahead to Next Week

We are actively monitoring a list of NASDAQ and NYSE names right now.

A few are showing the type of early momentum and technical setup that has preceded some of our strongest alerts.

Once we have something that meets our standard and is worth your attention, we will send it to you.

Stay ready. New alerts are coming soon, and thank you for being part of the community.

Please make sure our emails are landing in your inbox, not spam, so you do not miss the alert.

All alerts are released only during normal market hours to ensure all subscribers get the same fair access and to avoid after-hours volatility.

See you soon!

Must Read: Is the $725 Billion AI Spending Boom Paying Off?

Is the $725 Billion AI Spending Boom Paying Off?

VIEW IN BROWSER

Every time I think about this, it stops me cold.

The U.S. Interstate Highway System took 35 years to build. It stretches 48,000 miles, from Maine to California, with every on-ramp and overpass in between.

That’s enough asphalt to circle the globe nearly twice.

The total cost in today’s dollars? About $630 billion.

Now think about this… Big Tech is spending $725 billion on the artificial intelligence buildout.

And that’s just this year.

That’s such a gob-smacking amount of money, it’s hard to even wrap our brains around it.

To stack that much cash in $100 bills, you’d need 7,250 pallets. Laid end to end, that’s a line of money stretching from New York to Los Angeles and back – three times.

Now, Wall Street wants to know what they’re getting for all of that spending.

That’s why all eyes have been glued to the Big Tech reports this earnings season – especially the Magnificent Seven stocks.

So, in today’s Market 360, we’ll review three of them: Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) and Microsoft Corporation (MSFT). We’ll also see whether their AI spending is actually paying off.

Then, I’ll show you what this means for the next phase of the AI boom, and where the next investment opportunities are emerging.

Alphabet Beats – and Keeps Spending

Alphabet reported $5.11 earnings per share on $109.9 billion in revenue, crushing expectations on both counts.

The biggest standout was the Google Cloud unit, which reported $20.03 billion in revenue – up 63% from a year ago and well ahead of the $18.4 billion analysts expected. That is a clear sign that Alphabet’s AI investments are translating into real growth.

Investors noticed, sending shares up by about 10% yesterday.

However, that growth won’t come cheap. Alphabet raised its full-year spending outlook to between $180 billion and $190 billion. It also said that spending will rise “significantly” again through 2027.

Amazon Beats Big, but Gets Punished…

Next up, we have Amazon. The company reported $2.78 earnings per share on $181.5 billion in revenue in the first quarter, easily beating expectations for $1.62 earnings per share on $177.2 billion in revenue.

In other words, a massive beat.

AWS, its cloud business, generated $37.6 billion in revenue – up 28% year-over-year and its fastest growth rate in 15 quarters.

That should have been enough, but it wasn’t. Investors were looking for AWS growth closer to 30%.

But Amazon made it clear that it isn’t pulling back on spending, projecting nearly $200 billion in capex spending in 2026 alone – the same as previous projections.

Despite the stellar results, Amazon only rose about 1% on Thursday.

Nokia didn’t see the iPhone coming. Most AI investors won’t see this coming either.

Nokia. BlackBerry. Motorola. All wiped out — not by a crash, but because a new technology made their old one irrelevant overnight. The same event is about to hit AI. A new government computer coming online this year could be trillions of times more powerful than today’s leading models — turning five-year breakthroughs into five-day breakthroughs. $1.1 billion money manager Louis Navellier has identified which stocks to sell before it happens — and the one ticker to buy before May 5th. Click here for the full details, free of charge.

Microsoft: Incredible AI Numbers, Terrible Reaction

And finally, we turn to Microsoft. It may have delivered the clearest proof yet that AI is driving real revenue – even if it came with a catch.

For its third quarter, the company reported $4.27 earnings per share on $82.89 billion in revenue, topping expectations for $4.04 and $81.46 billion.

Azure Cloud grew 40% year-over-year, ahead of the 38% analysts expected. Its AI segment generated $37 billion – up 123% year-over-year.

So, Microsoft is converting all that AI spending into meaningful revenue. But the company is still spending heavily to keep up.

But Microsoft told investors to expect $40 billion in capex next quarter alone, and $190 billion for all of 2026 – up sharply from an earlier estimate of $150 billion. Next quarter’s revenue guidance came in just below Wall Street’s consensus.

That combination of softer guidance and rising capex was enough to send Microsoft’s shares down 4% on Thursday.

Should You Buy These Stocks?

So, what did we learn from this week’s earnings?

AI demand is real, and these companies are seeing strong growth from it, thanks to their booming cloud revenues. But investors are clearly becoming fickle about the results.

They’re also nervous about all that AI spending – and for understandable reasons.

Big Tech has already spent about $1 trillion on AI infrastructure. Throw in the $725 billion from this year alone, plus the projected $3 trillion in future spending… it’s mind-boggling.

We’re talking about the largest collective investment in history.

So, is all this spending actually worth it? Only time will tell. But more importantly, the question is… should you buy these stocks today?

And if not, which stocks are more deserving of your money?

To answer that, I ran all three through my Stock Grader system (subscription required). As you can see in the table below, the results are mixed…

In the case of Amazon and Microsoft, strong revenue doesn’t automatically make a strong stock. Right now, my system is flagging real headwinds for both – and this earnings season helps explain why.

Alphabet earns a Total Grade of B, making it a “Strong” stock. If you own it, I’m not telling you to sell. But honestly, I think there’s more money to be made elsewhere…

The AI Boom Isn’t Slowing Down – but the Winners Are Changing

Let’s go back to that $725 billion number for a second. Think about it. Somebody is supplying all of that infrastructure.

The data centers. The servers. The cooling systems.

Those companies – the ones enabling the boom – are the real winners right now.

But there’s something else none of these earnings calls addressed.

There’s a ceiling on what today’s AI can actually do. Cloud revenue can grow 63%. AI segments can surge 123%. But the underlying technology powering all of these systems has a fundamental limitation that more spending alone won’t fix.

And if we want to really unleash the full potential of AI and do things that actually matter – cure diseases like cancer, build energy sources that never run out or answer some of the deepest questions about the universe – today’s AI simply isn’t going to get us there.

That’s where a new class of AI computing comes in.

Right now, it’s being built quietly behind the scenes to break through that ceiling.

That’s what I break down in my new AI Reset briefing.

In it, I’ll show you exactly which companies I believe are best positioned as this shift unfolds – including one that recently signed a deal with the Trump administration to build what could be the most powerful AI computing system ever assembled.

The AI cloud race is real. But the next race has already started. And it looks nothing like what you saw in this week’s earnings reports.

Dear Peter,

The first of May is called Mayday, which is also the international distress call used by pilots and sailors to announce a serious emergency. We are sending you a Mayday message today because there is a grave crisis in Israel as so many people are struggling to recover from the devastation of the war, and we are reaching out to help. Together we are telling, and more importantly showing, the people of Israel that they are not alone. We have received a generous matching gift challenge that will double your gift to help twice as many people—so please be as generous as you can when you send your gift today.

Your support of the Friends of Zion today allows us to comfort the people of Israel who have been devastated by the war, continue to purchase and deliver food, medicine, clothing, and other necessities of life for the poor Holocaust survivors and refugees of Ukraine, continue to operate the Friends of Zion Museum, and to meet urgent humanitarian needs among the poor Jewish people living in Israel.

A baseball game in an (abandoned) prison yard

The Big House Ballgame at Old Joliet Prison

Welcome to The Pregame Lineup, a weekday newsletter that gets you up to speed on everything you need to know for today’s games, while catching you up on fun and interesting stories you might have missed. Today’s edition is brought to you by David Adler.

A baseball game in an abandoned prison yard? It’s even cooler than it sounds.

Yesterday, the Joliet Slammers played the Gateway Grizzlies in a one-of-a-kind Frontier League exhibition game at the historic Old Joliet Prison — the jailhouse the Slammers are named after.

It was called the “Big House Ballgame,” and it was played in front of 5,500 fans … including Bill Murray. (He’s part of the Slammers’ ownership group.)

The Slammers’ name and logo is an homage to the notorious prison in Joliet, Ill., which opened in 1858 and regularly hosted baseball games between inmates beginning in 1914. The Big House Ballgame brought baseball back to the prison for the first time since it closed in 2002.

The Slammers’ black-and-yellow uniforms for their game in the slammer were even inspired by those worn by baseball-playing inmates at Old Joliet Prison.

The Joliet Slammers play in the Big House Ballgame

Playing a baseball game in a prison yard makes for all sorts of weird quirks. Because the playing field was ringed by the Old Joliet jailhouse buildings, for example, we got some unique ballpark dimensions for a professional game: 230 feet to left field, 280 feet to center and right. To hit a home run, you had to clear the whole prison. If you hit it off the side of the building, it was a double.

The whole thing was the brainchild of Slammers part-owner Night Train Veeck. Yes, that is his real name (he’s named after Pro Football Hall of Famer Dick “Night Train” Lane), and yes, he is the grandson of Baseball Hall of Fame owner Bill Veeck.

Our own Ben Hill was in the (big) house for the prison yard ballgame, and you’ll definitely want to read his dispatch from Old Joliet.

HE PUT ON GLASSES, NOW HE SLUGS LIKE SOTO

See ball, hit ball. It’s one of baseball’s classic mantras. And there’s one star slugger who’s taking it extremely literally.

It’s now been exactly one year since Max Muncy started wearing glasses in baseball games. And over that last year, Muncy has been one of the very best hitters in the Major Leagues.

The Dodgers All-Star first put on the rec specs on April 30, 2025 … and immediately snapped a career-long, 151-plate-appearance homerless drought with a 433-foot blast to dead center at Dodger Stadium.

Muncy hasn’t stopped hammering the baseball since. Over the last 365 days, he’s been a top-five overall hitter in baseball.

Highest OPS over the last year

Minimum 100 games played

Aaron Judge (Yankees): 1.096
Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers): 1.005
Nick Kurtz (A’s): .993
Max Muncy (Dodgers): .969
Juan Soto (Mets): .961

The 35-year-old Muncy is the longest-tenured Dodger. He’s been with L.A. for nine seasons and has been a steady presence through multiple eras of Dodger baseball.

Muncy was always a pretty darn good hitter in L.A., but who knew glasses were all he needed to rake like Juan Soto?

Mike Petriello goes into even more detail on Muncy’s great year in glasses.

GAMES OF THE WEEKEND

Here are three games to watch this weekend — one for each day. For info on how to watch every game this season, go to MLB.com/Watch.

Today: Phillies at Marlins (7:10 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)

The Phillies have won three straight games under interim manager Don Mattingly — including a crazy double-walk-off doubleheader yesterday — and they’ve got Zack Wheeler going for his second start of the season after a successful 2026 debut.

Tomorrow: Dodgers at Cardinals (7:15 p.m. ET, FOX)

Is Roki Sasaki’s new toy (a much harder splitter) going to help him reach his potential as a starter? We’ll find out more on Saturday when he faces a Cardinals team that’s on a four-game winning streak entering this series … and just shelled Paul Skenes.

Sunday: Braves at Rockies (3:10 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)

A Braves team that already has MLB’s best record and the NL’s best team ERA is now getting Spencer Strider back. Strider’s looked good in his rehab outings — but this won’t be the easiest season debut pitching at Coors Field against a much-improved Rockies squad.

350 FOR THE SCHWARBINO

Kyle Schwarber, truly one of the greatest home run hitters of our time, slugged the 350th homer of his career yesterday.

The Phillies star got to that milestone in his 1,321st career game. He’s the seventh-fastest hitter to ever reach the 350-homer milestone.

Fewest games to 350 career HR

Aaron Judge: 1,088
Mark McGwire: 1,280
Juan Gonzalez: 1,298
Alex Rodriguez: 1,301
Harmon Killebrew: 1,319
Albert Pujols: 1,320
Kyle Schwarber: 1,321

Babe Ruth, in case you were wondering how he compares to the Schwarbino, hit his 350th career home run in his 1,329th game. Just a little too slow, Babe.

And of course, Schwarbomb No. 350 was an absolute tank — 113 mph off the bat and into the second deck at Citizens Bank Park.

STREAK TRACKER

Shohei Ohtani’s on-base streak and Mason Miller’s scoreless-innings streak are dead. But now we’ve got two new streaks to keep track of.

Nick Kurtz’s walk streak

Currently at: 19 games

MLB record: 22 games (Roy Cullenbine, 1947)

The reigning AL Rookie of the Year has drawn a walk in an incredible 19 consecutive games. Kurtz is tied with Ted Williams for the third-longest streak on record, he’s one game away from equaling Barry Bonds’ longest career streak, and he’s three games away from the MLB record.

Ildemaro Vargas’ season-opening hit streak

Currently at: 24 games

Modern Era record (since 1900): 34 games (George Sisler, 1925)

After a first-inning single today, Vargas has gotten a hit in 24 straight games to start the 2026 season, and in 27 straight games dating back to last year. The D-backs infielder broke a tie with Edgar Renteria (23 games for the 2006 Braves) for the longest hitting streak to start a season this century. Vargas’ 27-game overall streak is the longest active hitting streak in the Majors — Mickey Moniak is next at 14 games.

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU AT YANKEE STADIUM

The Yankees' Star Wars Weekend bobblehead and souvenir cup

If you’re a fan of Star Wars, you’re probably already ready to celebrate in whatever way you see fit this weekend, as Monday is May the 4th (… be with you). And if you live in the Tri-State Area or thereabouts, we know the perfect place to do that.

In honor of the iconic sci-fi franchise and this auspicious occasion, the Yankees have a Star Wars Weekend extravaganza planned for Saturday through Monday.

Special food and merchandise will be available, including Star Wars-themed specialty soda cups, Mandalorian-inspired desserts (at the concession stand by Section 125), co-branded T-shirts and even a Lightsaber-esque mini-bat at the main team store by Section 119.

The biggest celebration takes place at Saturday’s 1:35 p.m. ET game against the Orioles, when the first 18,000 fans take home a Max Fried Mandalorian bobblehead, and a host of characters and creatures from the Star Wars universe will be roaming stadium concourses to hobnob with fans. But don’t fret if you can’t make it on Saturday: The special concessions and merch will be available on Sunday and Monday as well.

Get the full lowdown from Max Ralph here, and get tickets to all three games right here.

1st day of the month – £1 donation for wildlife :)

1st day of the month – £1 donation for wildlife 🙂

ROB POWNALL

APR 30READ IN APP

These £1 donation days are vital to keeping Protect the Wild moving forward. We are not funded by corporations and we do not rely on large grants. Everything we do is made possible by ordinary people choosing to give small amounts because they care.

Every single pound has a real impact. It keeps our investigations going, strengthens our campaigns, and helps us continue the fight for British wildlife.

Donate to Protect the Wild

April has been very busy and I want to tell you exactly what your support has made possible.

We kicked off the month with our animationcalling for an end to the Guga hunt, narrated by actor Brian Cox, which has now been viewed over 12 million times. Twelve million people have seen the case for ending this hunt, and it resulted in tens of thousands adding their name to the petition calling on NatureScot to stop licensing the annual slaughter. We’re now so close to 160,000 so please add your name if you haven’t already.

Off the back of that, I took an opportunity to raise awareness for the campaign. I announced my candidacy for the Scottish Parliament – dressed as a giant Gannet. It sounds absurd. But it has been picked up by every major Scottish media outlet, multiple national print pieces, and earned a 30-second segment on Have I Got News For You, one of the most watched shows on British television. The story of the Guga hunt is now impossible to ignore.

And I have not stopped there. I attempted to gatecrash the Scottish Conservative manifesto launch as part of the campaign, and took part in a BBC hustings debate keeping the spotlight on the issue heading into the Scottish election.

Donate to Protect the Wild

On the campaign to end hunting with hounds, we launched a new tool allowing supporters to respond to the Government’s consultation on banning trail hunting in just 15 seconds and a single click. In just a couple of weeks, over 20,000 of you have used it. That is 20,000 voices the Government cannot ignore.

Our investigations have continued to cut through too. We published findings revealing that Polar Bears International – an organisation supposedly dedicated to protecting polar bears – is in fact comfortable with them being hunted and killed. A week later, we released a damning investigation into just how much taxpayer money has been spent on NatureScot’s handling of the Guga huntthis year alone.

We also launched a new national campaign to end bird netting, logging and mapping incidents of birds trapped and killed in nets right across the UK. This is the beginning of something significant, and in the months ahead there will be real, direct ways for you to get involved.

And in recent days we’ve had cause to celebrate. Network Rail has agreed to reopen swift nesting holes at their viaduct in Derbyshire, following months of tireless campaigning by locals and over 14,000 of you signing our petition. The BBC covered the good news, and Network Rail themselves acknowledged how much they have learned from it. Another life-saving win.

Donate to Protect the Wild

And the last week of April saw the release of two more animations.

The first exposed how bird shooting is factory farming, narrated by the brilliant Dr Amir Khan. It has since been viewed by millions, and over 15,000 people have joined our End Bird Shooting campaign on Substack. We have huge things coming on this front next month, so watch this space.

The second was a tribute to Eunice the sheep, brutally killed by two individuals using fireworks. As her story continues to be heard, we are shining a light on the dangers of fireworks and pushing for a ban on their sale to the public. An incredible 35 million people have now seen the film.

All of this happened in April. One month. And today, I am asking for something simple.

On the first of each month, we run a £1 fundraising day because when thousands of people give a small amount, it powers everything you have just read. In 2025 alone, these £1 donation days raised over £25,000.

So if you can, please give just £1 today.
