Shooting for the moon is cool. You know what's cooler? Shooting for the Galaxy!

With Bitcoin printing a $118k handle, the crypto space is reawakening. This has me on the hunt for opportunities in stocks that will likely ride this coming wave. 

Yes, bitcoin miners are an obvious choice, but they've always disappointed me. I need something better, and I think I found it.

I have to be honest, when I looked at my Analyst's price target for this short squeeze candidate, I did a spittake of my coffee.

After wiping off my keyboard, I had a second thought: why not?

These types of trades have been working. And with an earnings catalyst on August 14 looming ahead, why not take a shot with a defined risk bet?

Indeed, why not?

I've got another base on my radar that, if resolved, would likely result in another Hundred-Dollar-Roll candidate. These trades have been working lately.

And with earnings on deck in a couple weeks, it might just be the catalyst this stock needs to get there.

Due to the shortened trading day, we're going to cancel the Live Options Jam Session for this week.

But I didn't want to leave you without a quick update on positions that exited this week, as well as updated stops.

Today's trade follows a similar pattern of late --  High, tight consolidations continue to break out.

I've got another one here that is setting up for a breakout and I'm taking advantage of a recent pullback to get positioned at advantageous prices.

I'm traveling to Toronto with JC, Steve, and the rest of the team in September. It only makes sense that I should continue adding Canadian exposure to my portfolio. 

I wouldn't want to be an impolite guest, would I?

Today's trade is in a speculative Minerals Miner from Canada.

You remember Vanilla Ice. Don't pretend you don't.

He has nothing to do with today's trade, but the name of the stock reminded me of him.

Broker-Dealers are showing incredible strength right now, I want to get long the chart that looks the best of the lot.

Today's trade goes into the "Hard Trade" bucket. 

I'm buying a stock that has rocketed up 30%+ in just 7 trading days.

But... it has only just cleared overhead resistance which might be the "all-clear" signal from the control tower to ignite the rocket boosters.

From a recent Strazza Letter, Steve mentioned: 

Semis just failed to complete a top relative to the broader market and are now reasserting their leadership.

If this risk-on group is in good shape, then stocks are likely to perform well in the future. So this is a positive development from a broader market perspective. 

So today's trade is in a lesser known semiconductor name that is atop the relative strength leaderboard.

Today's trade is in a name that specializes in 3D geolocation technology, offering positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions—especially in situations where traditional GPS fails.

And I think it's got all-time highs in it's sights.

The title for this post was too easy.

Today's trade is in a $29B ultra-processed packaged foods giant that has been struggling since 2023 and feels like its hanging on the precipice of a deeper fall.

Whether or not that comes to pass, this stock feels like a good place to put on a slightly bearish bet to give my bullish portfolio a bit of diversification in case the broader market stalls here.

Today's trade is in a name that has a very high short interest and is starting to put the squeeze on shorts. 

And if this stock completes its climb back to all-time highs, there will be a lot of juice to squeeze out of these shorts.
