[Options Premium] International Sensitivity

April 12, 2024

We're looking abroad for today's trade in a company involved in the manufacturing and sale of connectivity and sensor solutions.

The stock is breaking out of a multi-year base and it offers us a nearby risk management level to keep our stop tight which means the potential for nice gains versus a smaller risk of loss.

[Options Premium] Taking Advantage of Aggressive Apple Players

April 10, 2024

Traders have made a lot of noise about the recent correction in Apple. And yes, the selloff has been large (for Apple).

But with daily trading volumes beginning to wane, it feels to me that the run has begun to exhaust itself and bears will have one more last-ditch opportunity with earnings on the horizon.

Barring something unusual, I think there will be something to disappoint both bears and bulls alike, amounting to a whole lot of nothing. Which sets up the perfect time for a sideways bet.

[Options Premium] Fueling Up for a Long Drive

April 4, 2024

The energy sector is looking poised to break into uncharted territory, and we too are going to break some new ground by doing an options trade we've never done before in ASO.

Calling it a "trade" might even feel a little off, considering the timeframe of this one. It might be more accurate to call it an investment. Compared to most trades we do, this one has the potential to certainly feel like one.

[Options Premium] This Hundred-Dolla-Roll Might Happen Fast

March 22, 2024

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-roll" in its sight certainly makes it very attractive to me.

[Options Premium] Fade the Street

March 20, 2024

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 Street's radar. This means very few (if any?) analysts cover it. Nobody is publishing research reports on it. Essentially, there just isn't anyone talking about it.

Around here, we call these "Eddy Elfenbein stocks." Stocks that are steady dividend payers, operating excellently in obscurity, providing a product or service that so many people use that they don't even realize they are using it.

[Options Premium] I Don't Have Enough Exposure to Gold

March 15, 2024

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 our risk levels.

That is from my Commodities Analyst Ian Cully in a recent post about the Gold sector.

Today's trade is in a mining name that is above the risk levels, signaling its time to get involved.

[Options Premium] Getting Some REAL Exposure

March 13, 2024

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 set to surprise a lot of people.

[Options Premium] Dashing For the Door

March 8, 2024

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 side of a larger base, then we've still got plenty of upside to go.

Here's a chart of DoorDash $DASH:

[Options Premium] If It's Gonna Go, It's GONNA GO.

March 6, 2024

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 any heat we're likely to take in this trade if we're early or wrong.

So let's get right to it.

[Options Premium] All is Good in the Hood

March 1, 2024

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 while longer.
