🚨 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

America’s industrial past came thundering through Pennsylvania last weekend, trailing smoke, shaking the pavement, and blowing a whistle loud enough to wake the dead. Big Boy No. 4014 is a museum piece that refuses to behave like one.

You probably think Congress votes on the country's biggest decisions. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the most important vote is the one leadership never lets happen.

Oil gets the headlines. LNG gets the margins. As Iran turns the Strait of Hormuz into a war zone, Qatar's exports are trapped, Asian buyers are scrambling, and American LNG exporters are quietly printing money.

Germany destroyed its currency because politicians found printing easier than honesty. A century later, governments still prefer the same hidden tax.
