Today's trade comes in a wholesale distributor of industrial and construction supplies. Sexy, right?

Ok, maybe not. But the fact that the stock has been in a steady uptrend since November, is making new all-time highs, and has a "hundred-dolla...

Today's trade is in a name that doesn't need Wall Street.

They crush their little corner of the world, operating in the midwest. They do not need to raise money or any exotic financing. Because of this, the company is completely off Wall...

On today's Flow Show, me and Steve Strazza put our heads together to follow the wave into the Steel sector.

So we're going to fix that.

And here's why:

It’s the perfect environment to buy mining stocks following gold’s breakout.

The plan is simple: Buy the strongest names on absolute and relative terms – if and when they trade above...

One sector that I feel a bit underexposed to right now is real estate -- particularly REITs. And when a dominant player in New York City's commercial real estate sector pops up in our scans with a beautiful chart, it feels to me like this one might be...

Today's trade is a bet on the speculative juices continuing to flow through the summer. This stock has been performing fantastically since the November stock market explosion, but if we're a believer that this stock is simply tracing out the right...

Today's trade is in a name that has the potential to really rip. Of course, the nature of this type of trade is that it has a lower probability of success.

But if we get it right, our potential gains will likely be exponentially higher than...

The speculative fever is returning in a big way.

Today's trade is in one of those names that has already benefited from the recent surge in stocks and crypto prices and is likely to continue thriving if this brewing mania is here to stay for a...

Here's something we don't do very often -- we're going to patiently leg into a position.

Bottoms are a process, and we're taking a position that is betting on a turn on a much-maligned overseas market.

We think the turn can be messy...

With bullish setups continuing to climb this week, I like the cushion this gives me to continue putting on some bearish bets to help smooth out any possible portfolio volatility that may be on the horizon.

Today's bearish "hedge" is a short...

Today's trade is in a steel sector name that recently poked its head above a resistance level that had been capping the upside for over two years now.

As the stock consolidates its recent breakout, options premiums are quite low, offering us...

I believe the options market is underpricing the possibility of a downside surprise following earnings coming up in Hormel Foods $HRL.

So we're going place a long-shot bet that will pay gluttonously if we're right.

Healthcare continues to lead to the upside. While we already have a bullish bet on a sector ETF, it's time for us to drill in a little deeper in search of more beta if this trend is going to continue.

Today's trade is in a name that has been...

As many of our longs continue to work in this current leg higher in the stock market, I like putting on bearish bets as portfolio hedges to cushion the blow if/when the turn comes.

And the best way I know how to do it is to position bearishly...

Perhaps the title of this post is a bit dramatic. But it got your attention, yeah?

While the indexes continue to plow higher and higher, proving markets can stay irrational longer than bears can stay solvent, there continues to be signs piling...

We’re gonna keep this quick cuz I’m on the road doing errands.

I just got off the phone with JC, who called me in the car. His “spidey senses” are tingling and he thinks there might be a low-risk/high-reward opportunity to short the broader...
