Today's trade comes from the latest Young Aristocrats report. And today's dip offers us a chance to get into this trade with a very nearby risk management level (today's low). Either this stock...

...but it might win us cash-money gains, which is all we're really here for anyway. Give the participation trophies to the strivers.

Today's trade comes from a "dirty" sector. One some investors don't like to talk about in polite company. And...

Will the commodity trade come roaring back? If so, we've got a play in a metals fabrication stock that we think we'll outperform to the upside.

This company recently broke out to 6-year highs and has a lot of runway left to reach decade-plus...

It's a big wide world out there. Luckily for us investors in the U.S., we aren't just limited to trading domestic companies. Often via ADRs, we are able to participate in opportunities in the very best foreign companies and conglomerates.

And...

Earlier this week, we got stopped out of Vertex Pharma $VRTX for a manageable loss. It happens. Now today, a vortex is pulling us in the direction of another Vertex -- Vertex Energy $VTNR. Crazy, huh?

In the end, stocks are all just ticker...

While I prefer to let stocks prove themselves to me before taking a position, sometimes a situation sets up where the stars are aligning for a low risk bet that makes it worth the effort to get ahead of the crowd.

One such situation has...

We've experienced a pretty powerful bear market rally on the heels of yesterday's Federal Reserve interest rates announcement. Whether or not it sticks is anybody's guess. But one name in the financials space has stood out for its relative lack...

Ok, maybe that title is a little dramatic. I couldn't help myself. I recently had a conversation with a trader friend who was dunking on Gold Bugs about the lack of income stream from Gold. It's just a damn rock! he said.

Anyway, I...

Feels like market conditions are improving a bit for the bulls, but we're still going to be picky here. One way we can improve our odds of success is to align our trades with relative strength.

Today's trade is in a sector that has seen both...

That's a blog post title I never thought I'd write. LOL.

Even more strange, the trade we're putting on today is in a public company with an unusual name I've never heard of before!

As Strazza mentioned in our Telegram live chat this morning: "Not too many charts look as good as this one right now."

It feels hard to comprehend that we're finding leadership in Chinese tech, internet, and auto stocks, but it's...

Today's trade is...

The title of this post is a takeoff from one of my favorite ongoing SouthPark bits involving our friendly Canadian neighbors :)

There seem to be better bearish setups on my radar than bullish ones. This makes sense as I prefer to...

I'll cut right to the chase: JC put out a piece this morning highlighting the relative outperformance of the Healthcare space.

The XLV sector ETF for the space has more or less been...

The stock market has breathed a much-needed sigh of relief this week.

Are we out of the woods? I wish I knew.

But in case we're not, I'm hedging a little bit by taking this bounce opportunity to get into a bearish position in an...
