Our Fast Profits plays have been crushing it in 2021, with an average 40% gain on open positions and a running 80% win rate - and they're all bets on stocks going up. But today, it's about time we cash in on the market's downside and add a "short" move to our call-heavy roster.
On today's Fast Profits with Money Morning, I'm targeting a stock in the semiconductor sector that looks like it's headed toward a drop-off.
Though the financial media is crying out to "buy the dip" on semiconductor companies following the global chip shortage, some of these stocks are down for a reason... like today's stock to short.
And amid so much uncertainty on the market, it's the perfect way to play a downside move after any Fed-induced volatility.
Check out the video below for the full play-by-play...
