Regardless of our feelings about the man behind the phenomenon, putting that all aside, there is a potentially great trade setting up in this Trump Media & Technology Group $DJT.
No setup gets me more excited than buying a fresh new all-time high.
There are no bagholders looking to unload their losing position to breakeven. Every investor or trader holding a long position is making money. And every trader holding a short position is losing money and the only way they correct that sad state of affairs is to buy stock to stop their losses.
In other words, blue skies above.
This doesn't guarantee success on a long trade here, of course. But these are the types of trades that commonly lead to my biggest gains.
Here's a weekly chart of semiconductor name Analog Devices $ADI:
Today's trade is in a name that currently sports a 15% short interest which equates to approximately 7 days to cover. This could be significant fuel for a blast off if the current post-earnings momentum propels this stock above 52-week highs.
The countdown to launch is ticking, so lets get involved.
There's been a lot of "bad" news thrown in Tesla's direction this year. And it's played out in the stock's price. But here's the thing -- bad news is often the worst at the bottom.
And zooming out on a longer time frame, it looks like $TSLA shares may be beginning to turn the corner.
I'm mindful that coming into this afternoon's Fed meeting lots can change following whatever is said after 2pm ET.
That said, there's a pretty compelling opportunity to sell some premium in the gold space, at strikes that are comfortably far away, increasing our odds of success.
In today's Flow Show, Steve Strazza laid out the case of how both the Nasdaq 100 and Chinese tech stocks (particularly Chinese internet) might be signaling an important rise in speculative appetite which could fuel the next bull run.
Of the names Steve shared, the one that made the most sense to me was JD.com $JD. Check out this chart:
We're looking at the past year in $JD and it feels to us that if this motor gets running, we could target the low 40's with a good thrust which would be new 52-week highs.
Knowing that we might come into some overhead supply at those levels which could check the rise, and also knowing that upside call options are currently sporting some rich premiums, we're going to put both of these observations to our advantage by utilizing a bull call spread.
I came into today's Flow Show not having much of an appetite for any aggressively bullish bets. But by the show's end, I'm putting on a straight gamble! How the hell did that happen? Watch the video above to find out.
The chart and setup that piqued my interest is this one in Riot Platforms $RIOT:
Now that the Bitcoin "halving" is out of the way, will the prior RIOT/Bitcoin correlation that was strong until the last three-ish months reassert itself?
And if it does, will $RIOT catch up to Bitcoin? Or will Bitcoin catch down to $RIOT?
Judging by the basing action we've witnessed in Bitcoin in recent weeks, I think the next big move is higher. And if $RIOT "catches up"? It could be a monster winner in a hurry.
Bonus kicker: Riot Platforms announces earnings on May 8th. That could be the big push we need.
Berkshire Hathaway stock $BRK/B has traded down for eleven of the past thirteen trading days. That's not something you see often.
Call me sentimental, but watching implied volatility in Berkshire options creep up to its highest levels of the year feels like a gift to naked put sellers. So I'm going to take advantage.
