My Pre-Market Options Setup for AAPL, STM & NOK Ahead of Q4 Releases

The Week of Maximum Catalysts With 40% of the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ market cap reporting this week—including 3 of my core watchlist names dropping results within a 12-hour window—the options market is pricing in some of the most expensive straddles we've seen since October.

I'm approaching these three names through the lens of defined-risk spreads and post-earnings IV crush harvesting. Below is my tactical breakdown for today's session: 1. $Apple(AAPL)$ Dipped -0.71%: Key Support Test Ahead of Historic Earnings 📈 Earnings Expectations Analysts anticipate robust Q1 FY26 r

DB Issues Space Data Center Outlook: How to Trade RKLB, PL, and LUNR After the Rally

$Deutsche Bank AG(DB)$ 's mid-January report suggests that space data center costs will converge with ground-based costs by the early 2030s. The core logic is as follows:Cost Convergence Pathway:Current: A 1GW space data center costs 6.7-7.2x more than ground-based ($114bn vs $16bn)2028: Gap narrows to 4.3x2032: Drops to 1.2x, essentially reaching parityCore Drivers: Launch costs plummet from $1,600/kg to below $70/kg, single-satellite power increases to 150kW, and custom AI chips reduce energy consumptionKey Assumptions:SpaceX Starship achieves full reusabilitySatellite iteration reaches V5 version, with unit power cost dropping from $42k/kW to $14.5k/kWNo disruptive cheap energy emerges on Earth (e.g., fusion breakthrough)
