🚨 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

Every good nightclub has two things: people with money and a bouncer deciding who gets in. The Pentagon has an enormous amount of the first. Congress has been working on the second. And a handful of mining and manufacturing companies could find themselves inside a very profitable party.

America spent decades convincing other countries that its friendship was worth having. Then its ambassador to Greece allegedly explained, over dinner, that their governments were replaceable. Beijing couldn’t have written a better sales pitch. And it didn’t even have to pick up the check.

In 1884, a dollar bought roughly what it had bought before the Civil War. Try imagining that today: twenty years after a 75% inflationary surge, the price level had retraced the entire move. America once had inflation that went away.

The most dangerous voter in American politics this November may be the Republican who does absolutely nothing. He doesn’t have to switch parties. He doesn’t have to put a Mamdani sign on his lawn, discover a sudden enthusiasm for socialism, or start watching MSNBC. He merely has to stay home. And the first bits of election data suggest quite a few of them may be thinking about doing exactly that.

Oil at $105 is bad enough. The trouble is that $105 is the price everyone can see. If you actually need physical crude delivered to a refinery, the market is telling a nastier story. Cargo premiums are rising, diesel has traded at the equivalent of roughly $180 a barrel, and crack spreads have blown out to extraordinary levels. The Iran war’s economic damage was delayed by reserves, rerouting and extra production. It wasn’t avoided. Now the price behind the price is starting to hit home.
