I have a feeling there will be a large segment of the trader population that hates this trade. And that is precisely why I think it has a good chance of working.

It appears to me the broader markets have declared their intention to rally this summer. As such, I want to be positioned to take advantage.

And what better way to position for a summer rally than in a company with exposure to solar energy...

Headlines.

We all read them and they mess with our heads. It takes steadfast resolve to listen to the message of price action when everything else we read tries to trick us into doing the wrong thing.

It's a bull market, in case you haven't heard.

As such, I'm on the hunt for alpha. I'm looking for stocks that might be off the radar, but can have outsized moves when the market runs.

Full Disclosure: I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. As such, I'm excited about this upcoming NFL season. This is the year! Does this fact color my interest in today's trade? Maybe.

Options premiums have risen a little bit in recent days due to the fed, earnings, government data, and trader indecision, and [insert your favorite scary story].

Whatever the reason, this feels like a good time and opportunity to add some...

In an effort to provide some much-needed portfolio diversification, I'm adding a delta-neutral credit spread to the mix.

My man Steve Strazza's reaction to this trade idea: "Yes! Bios have got some catch-up to play!"
