Readers of All Star Charts research are no doubt familiar with the team's focus on relative strength. They are often comparing sectors against each other to uncover where hidden strength (or weakness) is hiding out. It's one thing to see how a stock or a sector is performing on absolute -- dollar and cents -- terms. But seeing how investors favor one sector versus another offers important insight into how the marketplace is perceiving risk and opportunity.

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.
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.

I'm headed down this nostalgic lane thanks to today's trade idea.
The latest Young Aristocrats research piece is out and a trade idea that immediately caught my eye is one that is currently breaking through the proverbial glass ceiling.

During our latest Options Conference call, me and JC riffed on a couple potential trades -- one of which I wanted to wait a bit on, since it's not a type of play I do with great frequency.
Well, on Friday, the stock had a nice little pullback nearer to recent IPO support which offers us a nice opportunity to get positioned at a bit of a discount, so I'm going to pull the trigger today.
JC and I recorded our latest options conference call last night (subscribers can access it here). We discussed some trades that were exited last month, updated some current positions, and discussed a couple new ideas.
One of the new ideas discussed was a bullish breakout in United Therapeutics $UTHR. And I'm ready to pull the trigger today.
JC and I put together this months Options Conference call and it was one of my favorites yet!
We discussed positions we closed out in Google in Biotechs, as well as some of the trades we have on that are worth an update. There are a few new ideas on our radar and we get into some of that as well so you can get a little bit of a behind the scenes look at our thought process.
Once again this month, I'm going to share info on positions that were closed in the month of March. As a reminder, our exit plans are always laid out ahead of time in each trade idea we publish. In every case, the exits mentioned below were all exited in accordance with the plan as laid out.
The latest 2-to-100 Club Report is out with a handful of actionable names to participate in.
These aren't trades where we expect a face-ripping rally to imminently commence. But we do think there are underlying trends that can propel these names higher over the next 3-6 months.

The recent pullbacks we've seen in a number of momentum names is offering us some advantageous opportunities to buy into some stocks we like at better prices.
One stock in particular is making a beautiful sound as it attracts my attention.
