🚨 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

A subscriber asks me to clear up a position. I want America's factories back, but I oppose the tariffs meant to bring them home. How can I square that? The answer starts with Nixon, runs through the Fed, and ends with Washington taxing the very machines America needs to rebuild.

George Carlin warned you about the big club. He forgot to mention you'd be financing its next startup.

Washington spent 15 months trying to bend Brazil to its will. The Brazilians responded by reelecting Lula, Wall Street dumped Brazilian stocks, and the dollar soared against the real. Another triumph for American diplomacy. You almost have to admire the consistency.

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.
