[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.

[Options Premium] Space Trip

May 3, 2021

SpaceX has made it cool to talk and dream about Space again. I'm sure many of you, like me, had dreams of being an Astronaut and walking on the moon when you were growing up.

Now that I've grown up, I dream of stocks going on rocket ship rides to the moon. Same difference ;)

[Options Premium] The OTHER Computer Maker

April 23, 2021

Believe it or not, it's not just Apple that makes desktop and laptop computers. I know, some of the newer generations of consumers may be shocked to learn this.

But way back in the Before Times, there was another computer maker that dominated the consumer space and invented novel ways to deliver them to consumers.

These days, they are a long way from the mass market dominance they once enjoyed, but investors in the stock are enjoying the fruits of a resurgence.

[Options Premium] Knowing When To Pause

April 19, 2021

I usually enter new trades on Monday. I love starting the week with fresh opportunities.

But one of the best things about trading is there are no called strikes. Meaning, we don't have to swing. And we won't get called out for putting our bat on our shoulder and waiting for our favorite pitch to take a swing at.

This is on my mind today as I scan the list of trade ideas published by the All Star Charts team.

[Options Premium] Flip Phone Memories

April 16, 2021

I have fond memories of my very first cellular phone in 1995. I was still in college and had a "job" selling advertising for the local arts & entertainment newspaper in town. One of the perks of the job was having a cellphone so I could be reached at any time.

In 1995, having a flip phone (that barely fit in my pocket), was pretty cool. Or at least I thought I was...

I'm headed down this nostalgic lane thanks to today's trade idea.
