🚨 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

Gold miners have a nasty problem. The price of what they sell is falling, while the price of what they burn is rising. I’ll show you how that combination can turn an 11% drop in gold into a 58% hit to mining profits.

My friend Adam Sharp thinks silver is headed for $200. So do I. The difference is that Adam's holding his miners while I'm sitting in cash, waiting for the next fat pitch. And with oil above $113 a barrel, the biggest threat to mining profits isn't necessarily what's happening to gold and silver. It's what's happening to the stuff miners have to burn to get them out of the ground.

Two hundred and thirty-one years ago, Americans called George Washington’s peace negotiator a traitor. Today, the Wall Street Journal’s readers are doing much the same thing. The technology has changed, but the tantrum remains the same.

I sent you the wrong Zach article this morning. Fortunately, the right one's even better. Three healthcare giants report earnings tomorrow, and Zach thinks they could point the way to AI's next big investment opportunity.

Congratulations! The Swamp Things have awarded you an extra $75 a month for surviving another year of inflation. Try not to spend it all at one gas station. Today, my old friend Zach Scheidt returns to the Rude with a better idea than waiting for Uncle Sam to make you whole.

Americans once fought the world's greatest empire for the right to govern themselves. Now they pay $300 a month for the privilege of being told how tall their grass can grow.
