Today's trade is one that I had to do a double take on.

When reviewing the trade ideas from JC's most recent monthly conference call, the upside price target for this stock caught my attention -- it's more than a triple from here! Has JC...

If you are, I've got one on deck that some might think is hard.

This stock recently released earnings and the market loved it. The stock gapped higher, gave a little back the next day, but appears to be holding these new higher levels. It looks...

I'm adding another name with earnings on deck soon, which could act as a catalyst to springboard this stock out of a tightening consolidation. 

And yeah, it's based in China. 

Might it be sketchy? Sure. But only price pays, not...

I'm not going to mince words. I have a feeling the market is overlooking the potential for a pop in a smaller semiconductor stock that will be reporting earnings next week. 

This earnings report could wake up the animal spirits in this...

During our Analyst meeting today, there was a lot of talk about software stocks and some beautiful setups.

But the timing right now is tricky, as many of them are announcing earnings in the next few days.

However, one caught my attention...

A quick look at my portfolio and it feels like energy stocks are embarrassingly under-represented. 

Today's trade aims to fix this.

If you've been here with me for any length of time, you know we trade pretty plain vanilla instruments -- options on your typical larger capped equities.But today, we're going to wade into a different pond.

We're going to trade options on a 2x...

Today's trade is in a national banking concern with a digital/online focus that is forming a high and tight pattern heading into an upcoming earnings release.

I can wade confidently into the pre-earnings waters knowing with options I can define...

I was surprised to see Great Britain is apparently involved in mining too? Who knew?

Once again, I'm exposed as someone who just looks at stock tickers as 3-4 letters and prices attached.

Today's trade is in one of the world's largest...

We've had an amazing run in stocks since this summer. 

Amazingly, there are some stocks that haven't participated -- like Target $TGT and Simply Good Foods $SMPL -- which I'm currently positioned in with bearish trades.

I've got...

The world's best retailer (in my humble opinion) has been trading sideways for a bit.

But I have to believe sales have been good as Americans have been spending money.

And here's what my analysts had to say about it:

... has been...

Today's volatility spike is a good opportunity to sell options premium in names you trust, in small size, with a carefully planned exit strategy in case you're wrong.

I'm going to sell some puts in Apple.

Today's trade is in a stock that looks ready to spring higher from a tight base.

And with an incredibly high short interest, there are currently a lot of nervous short position holders with their fingers next to the buy button, ready to...

Today's trade appears to have the stars -- or constellation aligning.

Implied volatility is rising. The stock is experiencing an intraday pullback (though up on the day). If the stock closed where it is right now, it would be a fresh all-time...

If you're unfamiliar with the Canadian Tuxedo, feast your eyes on this:

That's right -- Jean pants, jean shirt, and jean jacket. You're welcome.Where might one assemble this irresistible fashion statement?Look no further than Levi...

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...

Today's trade is in a name that was brought to my attention during JC's recent Mid-Month Strategy Session.The stock may...

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.

As many of you know, I spent the early part of this week in Toronto attending our Portfolio Accelerator event. It's two days of roundtable discussions where all the All Star Charts analysts as well as invited guests are given the floor to share their...

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.
