🚨 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 machine in a Hoka store on 5th Avenue learned more about my feet in 30 seconds than Nike had known in 35 years. Therein lies the story of how America’s most famous sneaker company managed to destroy 80% of its market cap.

When a man sells you his truck and immediately asks to rent it back, you inspect more than the tires. You ask why he wants the cash, how long he’ll keep paying, and what the thing will be worth when he returns the keys. Amazon’s proposed $8 billion chip deal deserves the same inspection.

The most powerful country on earth can create money at the touch of a button. Building an aluminum smelter takes rather longer. We’ve spent decades enjoying the first convenience while forgetting why we need the second.

Jeff spotted an omission. Girard spotted another risk. Willy spotted a sentence that should never have escaped my keyboard. Today, I’m opening the mailbag… and doing a little translating.

Washington has spent years ordering the lobster and telling everyone the bill was manageable. In September, the waiter finally arrived. With the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.29%, small companies, landlords, and supposedly safe bond portfolios discovered whose credit card was on the table.
