If you've been paying attention, we've been bullish and long Nike $NKE for a little while now. Here's our trade from July 2 where we got long calls (still holding),...

From time to time, a slowly developing opportunity presents itself and in doing so gives you multiple ways to profit -- while also incrementally reducing your risk as time goes along. This type of situation is presenting itself currently in Marathon...

This is the video recording of the September 2018 Conference Call for Members of All Star Options

I love incorporating a mix of delta neutral income trades in my portfolio -- especially after a nice run in the stock market that might be due for a pause soon.

50 days until expiration is the sweet spot for income trades, which is exactly...

This is the monthly conference call for Members of All Star Options. In this call we will discuss the current market environment and focus on price and volatility behavior. Throughout the session, J.C. Parets will add commentary on the technical...

It is that time in the options cycle where October options are in the sweet spot (between 45-55 day until expiration) to be looking for income trades wherever volatility pricing offers an edge.

And for our first choice for an October income...

I can't afford real estate in Palo Alto (yet), but I can comfortably afford to take a ride with Palo Alto's namesake security software firm Palo Alto Networks $PANW.

Today, $PANW stock popped its head above recent resistance and...

Next up in the Bull Market Rotation Wheel of Fortune: Airlines.

The S&P 500 printed a new all-time high on Tuesday (Aug 21), so naturally we should expect a broadening spectrum of sectors and stocks participating to the upside. The...

Logistics and package delivery services provider $UPS got caught in the volatility-triggered downdraft of late January and early February of this year. It has spent the remaining part of the year forming a base and is now showing signs of filling the...

Excuse my cheeky blog post title -- we're bullish on United Technologies $UTX.

Consistent with our bullish stance on US equities over the near term, we continue to want to err on the long side. And we want to be in the strongest stocks in the...

Not all sectors of the market are glamorous or sexy. And Agribusiness certainly isn't one of the fashionable areas of the stock market. But we're about to wade into our second name here because the opportunities are too good. At the end of the day, we...

During our monthly All Star Options conference call for members, JC & I laid out our bullish case for Berkshire Hathaway. These days,...

This is the video recording of the August 2018 Conference Call for Members of All Star Options

The Agribusiness sector might not often be thought of as sexy, but it is threatening to break out above 2008 highs (as measured by the Agribusiness ETF $MOO) and individual names are starting to look pretty compelling. As such, we're on the hunt for...

I won't pretend to know anything about medical devices, how they're built, or why they work. But that doesn't mean we can't profit in the sector.

The Medical Devices sector as a whole is trading at all time highs, and one particular name is...

51 days until expiration is the sweet spot for putting on delta neutral income trades. "Income Trades" are best established in underlyings experiencing elevated levels of volatility (resulting in higher options prices), but that are stuck within a...

The last two trading days (Thursday-Friday July 26-27) have been somewhat challenging for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. But there was some relative strength in the financials, in particular, American Express $AXP which last week printed a new all-time...

As a group, the semi-conductors sector has been underperforming this year, but signs are pointing to an upward trend declaration soon. This isn't a wildly bullish announcement, but neither do we need to be wildly bullish to make money on a mildly...

Texas Instruments $TXN appears to have authored no surprises in their quarterly earnings call on Tuesday afternoon, announcing well telegraphed results (following a recent CEO shakeup) that had basically no effect on share prices in the after-hours...

In the latest monthly conference call for All Star Charts subscribers, JC lays out a compelling case for being long leaders in the...

JC is fond of trades that offer asymmetric return opportunities (who isn't, really?). And we've got a potential beauty setting up in Abbott Labs $ABT.

With earnings out of the way and a direction loudly declared, we've got a screaming...

I have a Google Home at my house and we ask it questions all the time. I asked: "Hey Google, do we really need to call google Alphabet?" and she responded: "Sorry, I don't understand the question."

Yeah, me neither.

In case...
