Today's trade leverages the flexibility of calendarized options spreads to put us in a long, free position for a potentially long ride.

This would be a highly desired position of strength.

One of my junior analysts (Rick! He's the Man!) brought a stock to my attention that is in an attractive sector that could fly under the right conditions. 

Add to this that there is a high short interest and there is "meme" stock potential...

With $VIX currently sporting a 20-handle, it feels like a good time to add some delta-neutral exposure to the portfolio.

So I'm scanning the list of liquid sector ETFs to see which one's offer good premiums and potential range-bound trading...

As stocks continue to slide, there are certain sectors and individual names that are beginning to reveal their strength.

It is times like these that offer better than average potential rewards to risk if we mind our risks carefully.

Today's trade offers a nice opportunity to add some diversification to my mostly long book.

It's no secret that there has been a lot of weakness that has been masked by the performance of the broader indexes. 

We've got a well-...

Today's trade is in a $1B company that provides automatic identification solutions to commercial and government customers. Being that this company participates in the Software & IT sector, I expect it to perform well in a market environment where...

Today's trade is in a stock who's price action is mimicking what their products delivers for its customers -- it's going vertical! How's that for kizmet?

That trade might classify as a "hard trade," but I'll be doing what I can to increase the...

If the bull market is going to resume higher, we think the semiconductors will lead the way. 

We positioned in a bellwether last week. Today, we're going to get into a name that'll give us a little more juice if we're right.

So JC just got back from a family trip to Disney and all he can talk about is "what a racket" Disney is.

Everything is overpriced, yet people pay. And they pay happily.

It sounds like a pretty good business -- especially if you're an...

Alright, today's post has a cheesy headline which is a play on the name of this company.

I have no good pithy ideas for a title.

But today's trade idea is a hot one that sets up for a potential big win!

You guys in the chat room have been on fire lately!

I love the camaraderie that has been built among you guys and gals. The ideas, the mutual support, the multiple sets of eyes when a position needs our attention. So great.

"First they scare 'em out, then they wear 'em out."

That's a famous old Wall Street saying. And I agree with it 100%.

In Bitcoin, the "scare" post-100K might not have been that scary (or maybe it's yet to come?), but it definitely feels...

We're coming up on expiration for a play in a Canadian Bank ($CM) that has treated us very well since the summer.

And now a new Canadian Bank is displaying signs of a fresh multi-year breakout. We're going to keep this Canada party rolling with...

We've seen some fast moving breakouts during the recent stage of this bull market cycle. 

I'm not calling for the bull market to end. In fact, I think it continues for a while longer. But its highly likely the pace of prices increases slows...

The market's mood is for higher prices. It's a Bull Market.

Thus, it's no surprise that a data company providing important information to investors is riding the wave higher.

It pays to buy dips in strong stocks during bull markets, and...

The price of $FXI is going in the wrong direction. And as we know, only price pays. Price is truth.

Due to two previous "covered call" premium sales against our long January 2026 35-strike calls and more than one year until our long...

We've got Nvidia earnings after the bell this afternoon. The feeling I shared to my analysts today -- and they all agreed -- is that if Nvidia disappoints, the likely result will be a small speedbump for the overall stock market. But if investors...

A nearly 3-year-long bearish-to-bullish reversal pattern has whetted my appetite for today's trade.

And a follow-through could deliver a nice dash for cash.

Our last trade idea post was titled "European Vacation." Today's trade is in a name that is most definitely in the vacation theme.

And if you've attempted to book a hotel room in the past year, you know that rates are soaring. This might be bad...

Stocks are ripping in the U.S.

Is Europe next?

Looking at a basket of the fifty biggest names in Europe, we've got a clean level to bet against for a rotation higher. And a volatility picture that offers us an edge to play it.

It's easy to over-complicate things. 

I generally try to avoid that. Today's trade might be the simplest thing I do: follow a trend.

When a chart is going from the bottom left to the upper right, who am I to call a top in something...
