It’s Friday (a.k.a. Watchlist Day).
Here are my Top 4 Smart Money Setups…
NVDA April 17 $200 Calls
NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) reported blowout Q4 earnings with revenue of $68 billion (up 73% year-over-year).
The stock is down 7.7% since that report: a classic “sell the news” pullback.
But trust me, that’s a gift.
We’re heading into the biggest catalyst of the year for NVDA.
NVDA holds its GPU Technology Conference (GTC) March 16-19, described as the “Woodstock of AI.”
Last year’s GTC introduced the Blackwell Ultra chip and the stock popped 14% during the week leading up to the event.
Now look: The Median analyst price target is $265, implying 47% upside. Not too shabby.
These April calls give you 40+ days to realize this target and scale out for potentially fat gains along the way.
META March 27 $690 Calls
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META) beat Q4 earnings with revenue of $59.9 billion (up 24% year-over-year).
Meta also announced $115-$135 billion in AI capex for 2026, the most aggressive infrastructure buildout in corporate history.
A lot of spending (but it could pay off huge).
Big deals with NVDA and AMD. AI-powered ad targeting is accelerating.
The chart is consolidating beautifully between $630 and $673. A break above $673 would be perfect.
These calls are only 4.5% out of the money, while analyst price targets range up to $900.
TSLA July 17 $600 Calls
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) has been in a rough downtrend, testing critical support ahead of a March 9 NHTSA deadline on Full Self-Driving data.
I think they’ll clear the regulatory hurdles.
Which is why I already bought these calls…
But the real juice for the stock comes from robotaxis and the Optimus robot.
This stock is ready to go. It’s beaten down. A few shorts covering could send it blasting off.
AMD Mar 13 $225.00 Calls
Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) just landed the biggest deal in the company’s history.
Meta announced a multi-year partnership to deploy up to 6 gigawatts of AMD Instinct GPUs (a deal potentially worth over $100 billion). Shipments begin in the second half of 2026.
Meta diversifying away from Nvidia and committing this kind of capital to AMD validates the company’s position in the AI chip race.
The stock initially gapped up 10% on the news. Now it has pulled back and found support at the 200-day EMA.
I’m watching for a move back toward $225 and potentially higher as the market figures out how big a deal this is.
The market’s still choppy with the tariff questions, the Iran conflict, and the “AI-threat-to-tech” volatility.
If you trade the shorter-dated ideas: Use small position sizes (and take quick gains).
Have a great weekend,
Ben Sturgill
