Scott Bauer’s Big 3 Trades: CrowdStrike, Valero, and Micron

Scott Bauer joined Schwab Network for their Big 3 segment and shared three stocks he’s trading right now — including a cybersecurity giant he’s fading after a big run, an energy name he’s playing with an iron condor, and a chip stock he’s buying the dip on post-earnings. Watch the clip to see exactly how he’s positioning.

Scott covers:

  • Why he’s turning short-term bearish on CrowdStrike (CRWD) after it filled a key gap and surged nearly 60% year-to-date
  • The iron condor he’s selling on Valero Energy (VLO) to take advantage of elevated premium near a major resistance level
  • Why the pullback in Micron (MU) after earnings is actually the entry he’s been waiting for
  • The specific options structures — put spreads and an iron condor — he’s using for each trade
  • How the broader market’s optimism heading into a shortened holiday week is shaping his near-term thesis on all three names
