Today's trade is in a $104B company that provides cybersecurity solutions that is printing new all-time highs.

You know how I feel about all-time highs...

It's late on Friday. Let's get after it.

I think I surprised JC during this morning's internal analyst Call. He asked me if I had any "spicy trades" in mind.

In fact, I did have one.

It's a bet on an upcoming earnings release kicking a dog semiconductor stock while it's down,...

Suppose you're watching the evening cable news, reading the New York Times (or newspaper of your choice), or paying attention to your echo chamber on the socials. You'd be right to assume all the economies of the world (both friends and enemies of the...

Regardless of the market environment, a company like Visa will keep printing money. 

Considering the vast majority of purchases involve credit cards these days and Visa is a dominant player in the space, Visa takes a small cut every time...

I'm at the All Star Charts Portfolio Accelerator event in New York City. 

One topic I discussed this morning with everyone is a volatility-triggered setup I'm seeing in the iShares Bitcoin ETF $IBIT. We have a short history to work with,...

News over the weekend seems to have spooked investors this morning, particularly in the tech sector. And the effects are spilling out all across the market.

Are investors being a little overly dramatic here? 

The bet we're making is...

Today's relatively short-term trade has an earnings catalyst, and I'm betting it will propel us to profits.

The stock has already had a stellar run over the past 52-weeks. Will the upcoming earnings mark the top? I doubt it.

Here's a one-...

Today's trade leverages the flexibility of calendarized options spreads to put us in a long, free position for a potentially long ride.

This would be a highly desired position of strength.

One of my junior analysts (Rick! He's the Man!) brought a stock to my attention that is in an attractive sector that could fly under the right conditions. 

Add to this that there is a high short interest and there is "meme" stock potential...

With $VIX currently sporting a 20-handle, it feels like a good time to add some delta-neutral exposure to the portfolio.

So I'm scanning the list of liquid sector ETFs to see which one's offer good premiums and potential range-bound trading...

As stocks continue to slide, there are certain sectors and individual names that are beginning to reveal their strength.

It is times like these that offer better than average potential rewards to risk if we mind our risks carefully.

Today's trade offers a nice opportunity to add some diversification to my mostly long book.

It's no secret that there has been a lot of weakness that has been masked by the performance of the broader indexes. 

We've got a well-...

Today's trade is in a stock who's price action is mimicking what their products delivers for its customers -- it's going vertical! How's that for kizmet?

That trade might classify as a "hard trade," but I'll be doing what I can to increase the...

If the bull market is going to resume higher, we think the semiconductors will lead the way. 

We positioned in a bellwether last week. Today, we're going to get into a name that'll give us a little more juice if we're right.

So JC just got back from a family trip to Disney and all he can talk about is "what a racket" Disney is.

Everything is overpriced, yet people pay. And they pay happily.

It sounds like a pretty good business -- especially if you're an...

Alright, today's post has a cheesy headline which is a play on the name of this company.

I have no good pithy ideas for a title.

But today's trade idea is a hot one that sets up for a potential big win!

You guys in the chat room have been on fire lately!

I love the camaraderie that has been built among you guys and gals. The ideas, the mutual support, the multiple sets of eyes when a position needs our attention. So great.

"First they scare 'em out, then they wear 'em out."

That's a famous old Wall Street saying. And I agree with it 100%.

In Bitcoin, the "scare" post-100K might not have been that scary (or maybe it's yet to come?), but it definitely feels...

We're coming up on expiration for a play in a Canadian Bank ($CM) that has treated us very well since the summer.

We've seen some fast moving breakouts during the recent stage of this bull market cycle. 

I'm not calling for the bull market to end. In fact, I think it continues for a while longer. But its highly likely the pace of prices increases slows...

The market's mood is for higher prices. It's a Bull Market.

Thus, it's no surprise that a data company providing important information to investors is riding the wave higher.

It pays to buy dips in strong stocks during bull markets, and...
