One of our biggest winning trades of 2020 has been consolidating over the past month and is setting up for what looks like another high-intensity workout. While it would be wishful thinking to expect another complementary ride like the last one, I do...

Happy New Year! 2021 is here!

I don't know about you, but I'm super excited for this coming year. I'm expecting volatility in both directions. And volatility = opportunity for options traders.

Many of you know that one of my favorite bullish setups is a stock making new all-time highs, with $100 per share within our sights. So many times stocks are attracted to that big round psychological number. It doesn't make any sense (like stocks...

It's that time of the year when shopping is on everyone's mind. I don't know about you, but my house has been under a mini panic as we scramble to make sure everyone's gifts are accounted for as he head into the final week before Christmas.

2008-2009 was a dark period for the banking industry. The "Financial Crisis" nearly brought the whole system to its knees. Stocks in household name banks became penny stocks (Citibank!), Warren Buffet had to rescue Goldman Sachs, and a few had to put...

As Steve Strazza was putting together the latest "2-to-100" report, he and I were chatting about his latest great stock idea. He is pretty excited about this one, and who am I to not join him?

As December gets under way, it’s time to review positions with December options that remain open (haven’t already hit profit targets or been stopped out).

The race for a cure is on!

Interest in stocks with direct and indirect exposure to the "vaccine trade" is through the roof. And with this interest comes some wild price action in both directions.

Wow! What an open for stocks today. The votes are in and investors have decided the winner is: STOCKS. Of course, I'm told there's some positive vaccines news which may be accounting for the run up we're seeing today. Either way, all the major stock...
