Today's trade is in a name that first hit my radar when Steve and Sam published a special report on Small Caps that were ready to squeeze. It later was reiterated in an Analyst meeting we had last week.

And with the price action over the past 3...

Somebody forget to tell Target $TGT that we're in a bull market.Things are going from bad to worse over there, and my portfolio needs some short exposure. So this is the target.

Wait.... what??That's right. I said it. I hope the trade I'm putting on today loses. If it does, that likely means the rest of my portfolio is doing well.

Let's get after it.

The metals sector continues to shine. And it should be no stretch of the imagination to imagine that the soaring value of gold could have downstream effects.

Today's trade is in a metals & miner that I'd never heard of, but apparently is one of the world's largest -- based in Brazil.That speaks more to my ignorance than anything else, but when JC surfaced this name in his recent Monthly Strategy...

I love this setup:

On the verge of new multi-year highs, with all-time highs in sight. 

And options premiums plunging.

And a big round number up above to act as a magnet.

And the right sector.

And a bull market.

Maybe I'm a skeptic, but sometimes I think of brokerages as dealers at the blackjack table.They are in business to get you to bring your money to their "platform." They aim to get you to feel comfortable, they teach you the rules of the game, they...

There's a stock that has been consolidating just below all-time highs since the beginning of August, and it feels poised to pop.

And options players, as evidenced by this implied volatility chart, are falling to sleep:

 

This means I...

I say it a lot... volatility mean-reverts lower far more predictably than it mean-reverts higher.

In other words, low volatility does not necessarily presage volatility spikes.

But, when volatility is low and I have a hunch that a big move...

I've made it no secret that I harbor ill-will towards the hyper-promotion of sport gambling. As a father of an 11 year-old sports fan, I find it distasteful that he can't watch any sporting events without getting pounded over the head to get involved...

Today's trade is in a stock that had a beautiful breakout BEFORE the Powell news that ripped the broader markets higher.And it's in a company that many of use just about every day to spend money on our daily expenses. Maybe we should get rewarded for...

Today's trade is in the metals space in a stock that is breaking out of a multi-year base.It has the potential to go on a monster, long-term run. But I'm going to play for the initial thrust which offers us the possibility of 7x-ing our money (or more...

Today's trade is likely going to need some time. 

But the nice thing about Calendar Spreads is, we can have time work for us when making directional bets.

So let's get after it.

It's a bull market, but even here we can find stocks that aren't acting right and are completing tops.And I like the idea of having some bearish portfolio diversification, so today's trade is a bearish bet in a stock that looks sick to...

Today's trade is in a name that had a monster gap recently, has consolidated over the past week, and might be offering a gift of an entry today thanks to a 3% pullback.

This might be our last best chance to punch a ticket on this...

Today's trade is in a consumer staple that has made fresh 52-week highs recently, is on the cusp of a breakout from a multi-year base, and has dirt cheap implied volatility in the options. 

With new all-time highs in sight,...

I watched JC's monthly strategy session this week and he discussed some energy names, which got me thinking -- I don't have much energy exposure on the books.

So today's trade is in a name who's set up I'm liking the best right now...
