[Options Premium] Went Camping. Got Eaten By a Bear

June 11, 2021

It's summertime and where I live in Colorado, everyone is planning camping and RV trips up in the mountains. There's something about fresh mountain air, cool crisp evenings, and enjoying a beverage next to a roaring campfire.

You would think that this would be bullish for companies that are in the business of supplying the gear for entrepid campers and roadtrippers.

Well, we only follow price and the chart action in one camping name is potentially telling a different story.

[Options Premium] Living in 3D

June 4, 2021

The team at All Star Charts has started putting out a new report called "Follow the Flow." The goal of this report is to "create a universe of stocks that experienced the most unusual options activity – either bullish or bearish… but NOT both."

The unusual activity we're witnessing in these stocks is not necessarily "smart" money, but "aggressive" or "motivated" money. This is a useful signal.

With this in mind, one of the names mentioned in the most recent report caught my eye for a shorter duration bullish options bet.

[Options Premium] A Maxim Worth Trading

May 28, 2021

We're continuing to see strength and leadership in the semiconductor space. And a name the All Star Charts teams has been high on for some time has recently begun to break out from a new consolidation. Being that the stock is also making all-time highs -- you know situations like this get me excited.

So heading into a long Memorial Day Weekend, we're putting one more position on the books to round out our month.

[Options Premium] Mining a Bellwether

May 24, 2021

Strength in energy and metals continues.

The ASC team had a post out last week highlighting some bullish developments here, and the strength continues in early trading this week. And one stock, in particular, is threatening new all-time highs coupled with declining options prices --- my favorite kind of setup.

[Options Premium] Cruising For Gains

May 21, 2021

I'll be honest with you. I've been on cruises before. I don't think I have a need to ever do them again. I mean, the time spent "in port" was where the real fun for me was. Time trapped on the boat? Meh.

But, I know many people disagree with me and LOVE going on cruises.

I'm fine with that. Especially if it gives me an opportunity to make some money. And we've got one such opportunity on board!

[Options Premium] A Petroleum Play

May 17, 2021

Ok, I've changed my mind.

A few of my readers have pinged me privately drawing my attention to an Oil & Gas sector name that could possible make for a good "catch up" trade in the space. I generally would rather play in the leaders, rather than hope for the laggards to catch up, but I've been observing the price action from a safe distance after the ASC team put out a bullish idea in this name during their Monthly Charts Strategy Session a couple weeks back.

I like the way it put in a hard reversal last week and it's giving me some comfort to get in now with calls options priced pretty affordably.

[Options Premium] Go Where the Money Is

May 14, 2021

Reporter: "Why do you rob banks?"

Willie Sutton: "Because that's where the money is."

True 'nuff. And the same could probably be said of insurance companies, no?

With this in mind, we've got a mid-cap dividend paying insurance company with a beautiful trend thats looking like it wants more.

[Options Premium] Make Citizenship Pay

May 10, 2021

The latest Young Aristocrats report dropped on Friday last week. If you love dividends combined with momentum (who wouldn't?), then this report is always a must read.

Banks of all sizes have been a bright spot for us lately as we're currently enjoying gains in Morgan Stanley $MS and the Regional Banks ETF $KRE.

Well, this week's YA report highlighted a couple more banks with attractive setups and one in particular looks like a great setup to play with straight long call options.

[Options Premium] Can a Longtime Laggard Become a Leader?

May 7, 2021

Fortunes change. We've seen it time and time again, where once-prominent companies -- even entire industries -- fade away to shadows of their former selves or worse -- fade to oblivion. To the trash heap of has-beens.

But, occasionally we see these companies then reinvent themselves and rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.

We're eyeing one such opportunity.
