Most investors tend to think small when they trade. What is this company's earnings report going to look like? Is that stock going to rally this week? Aren't these stocks due for a correction?
There's nothing wrong with trading this way, but there are many more opportunities out there. And beginners and pros alike can make even more money trading options by looking at broader trends.
That's exactly what we're going to show you today because one trend is fueling the best options trade on Robinhood now.

Governments have been printing and spending money like crazy since the last crisis – the financial crisis of 2008. Just look at the Federal Reserve. Its balance sheet was over $4 trillion before the pandemic started. Now it's over $7 trillion thanks to the massive financial response.
