What stands out

Don Kaufman lays out three option ideas tied to the day’s big theme: Treasury yields nudging stocks lower and creating tradeable divergences across sectors. He presents a bearish options example on Target and bullish ideas for a utilities ETF and Apple, while Rick Ducat walks through the chart setups and execution points. The clip is notable because it pairs a macro market driver, an intra-session bond sell-off, with concrete short and long option constructions rather than abstract market punditry.
