🚨 Earnings Trade Alert

Welcome back to the Rude Awakening for Wednesday, March 10, 2021.

Today Im going to show you an earnings play trade that you can set up using options.

Now, there are SO many ways to play earnings

Generally, its a volatility play. We can use volatility to capture premium with options, get directionally biased into a stock and that's what I want to show you today.

I am going to show you a trade on one of my favorite stocks to use for quick profits.

Your Earnings Play: JD.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: JD)

Im going to show you how to set up a winning trade on JD.

If you look at the chart, youll see its shown an upward trend throughout the past year, and you can see its been staying close to its 50day MA, holding that level as support for most of the time.

In the selloff we have seen, its now broken below that. But its trying to fight its way back up.

I love JD as a trading vehicle.

You can find out all the details as to why in todays video.

JD reports earnings tomorrow morning before the opening bell. So we want to get positioned before that.

Ill show you how you can look into a trade on this one today!

Have a great rest of your trading day.

See you tomorrow!

Regards,

Scott Stewart

When Madrid issued an order that violated Basque law, the answer was magnificently polite: We obey, but we do not comply. John Adams saw the genius immediately.

Oil is a thing. Copper is a thing. Gold is a thing. A 20-year Treasury is a promise. In August, the market made its preference painfully obvious.

The stock market sees an AI boom. The credit market smells smoke. And if you know where to look, you can see exactly how nervous the people lending the money have become.

The US Treasury is trying to suppress the cost of borrowing. The new Fed Chairman has spent his first months in office insisting markets should set prices themselves. Something has to give.

When Zohran Mamdani tries to cap grocery prices, Wall Street calls it socialism. When Scott Bessent tries to override the price of money, Wall Street calls it market management.
