As someone new to options trading, I'm really interested in learning more about these strategies.
From what I understand, single-leg options trades involve buying or selling a single options contract, whereas multi-leg options trades involve combining multiple contracts to create a more complex trade. As a beginner, I think it would be best to start with single-leg trades to get a better understanding of how options work.

$Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ Share repurchase programs have always had their advantages and disadvantages for company management and shareholders alike. But as their frequency has increased in recent years, the actual value of stock buybacks has come into question. Some corporate finance analysts feel that companies use them as a disingenuous method to inflate certain financial ratios, such as EPS under the auspices of providing a benefit to shareholders. Stock buybacks also enable companies to put upward pressure on share prices by affecting a sudden decrease in their supply.
Investors shouldn't judge a stock based solely on the company's buyback program, though it is worth looking at when you're considering investing. A company that repurchases its own shares too aggressively might well be reckless in other areas, while a company that repurchases shares only under the most stringent of circumstances (unreasonably low share price, stock not very closely held) is more likely to have its shareholders’ best interests at heart truly.
You should remember also to focus on the stalwarts of steady growth, price as a reasonable multiple of earnings, and adaptability. That way, you'll have a better chance of participating in value creation versus value extraction.
Some experts contend that buybacks at current high market levels cause the company to overpay for the stock and are carried out to placate large shareholders. For clients who invest in individual stocks, a knowledgeable financial advisor can help analyze the longer-term prospects of a given stock and can look beyond such short-term corporate actions to realize the actual value of the firm.

$Micron Technology (MU.US)$ Bunch of things going on here. The first thing I notice is the huge cup formed on the monthly from 1999- 2021.
Since April you can say we have formed a handle for that cup.
On the weekly you have a double bottom that's playing out and the handle for the cup could also be use for this double bottom .
So obviously the patterns are bullish , the only question is will MU break out of the handle this time around or take one more trip down to 60$ ?
Let's see

$Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.US)$ has been building a Cup and Handle on the Daily since approximately Feb 20th of this year. This cup also happens to have a bullish flag within the handle. Price has already broken out of the flag around 47.50, and subsequently broke through significant resistance around 47.80. WFC ended the day Friday 9/24 retesting this level as new support, and it is setting us up for a long entry toward the previous ATH just above $66.00 if we get a bounce on Monday 9/27. The breakout of TNX last week also signals bullish context for financials if it confirms a new trend to the upside. WFC is not a fast mover so expect it to take several months to get there! Happy trading!
$Block (SQ.US)$ working on a double bottom setup with $276.14 traditional pivot . This is coming after a 50% recent rally.
2 Things I would like to see happen:
- tighten a bit more under that level and give us some type of a pivot to manage risk against
- need to see some type of accumulation coming in in the form of pocket pivots

$Roku Inc (ROKU.US)$ Shares of Roku dropped as much as 4.8% lower on Friday, hamstrung by a bearish note from Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall.
The pessimistic call on the media-streaming technology stock counterbalanced an upgrade that drove Roku shares higher yesterday.
Cahall downgraded Roku from overweight to equal weight, meaning that the analyst now believes that Roku shares don't provide an exceptional investment opportunity anymore. He also lowered the price target on the stock from $450 to $388 per share. That's still 16% above Roku's closing price on Thursday, but the Wells Fargo analyst sees better ideas elsewhere because this stock looks "fully valued" at current prices.

$Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$ Going around, it's back to the opening price. Futu is really good at Zen, and it wants to bring us the philosophy of life: people go back and forth all their lives.

$BABA-SW (09988.HK)$ The thing is often, when you think he is very good and powerful, you finally find that he is not very good, you think he is not good, and when it is very bad, you finally find that it is okay, not as outrageous as you imagined. For baba, I think that's it. Maybe it rebounded from October
$TENCENT (00700.HK)$ Tencent is a stock that is completely unpredictable in the short and medium term. There are too many trading factors, and the large shareholders holding shares of foreign companies are not concentrated. It is meaningless to analyze it too rationally.
