Despite futures tanking this morning, stocks seem to be making a pretty strong overall recovery from the recent inflation-driven sell-off.
But make no mistake - the market is just as divided as ever…
Most of small caps in the Russell 2000 are slipping into mid- to long-term bearish patterns. Tech blue chips like Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) are clearing hurdles left and right, but they may not have much runway left before they begin losing steam.
So on this week’s Fast Profits, I’m making a move in the “sweet spot” of the July trading climate. I’ve put together a trade on an industrials mid-cap, a “happy medium” between low risk and high growth.
But today’s trade on Colfax Corp. (NYSE: CFX) isn’t just “playing it safe”: Shares are locked into a long-term bullish trend, and moving average patterns are signaling an even bigger breakout on the horizon.
Check out the video below to see how to play it…
Trade details…
Action to Take: Buy to open CFX Dec. 17, 2021 $45 calls (CFX210716C00045000) using a limit order of $4.
The IPO System’s Rigged Against You…
It’s unfortunate, but it’s true.
Yes, the 2015 JOBS Act made private investing accessible to investors everywhere. And sure, there are still plenty of profitable pre-IPOs out there, even in a fixed game…
But this next startup avenue could be even more lucrative, without Wall Street big wigs pulling the strings or leaving you the scraps of washed-up stocks they no longer want.
But you won’t see it advertised on social media or talked about on TV… because it’s loosening the 1%’s grip on markets.
Shah Gilani says this could be one of the “best kept secrets of the investing world,” returning exceptional peak gains of 3,000%, 6,150%, even 9,075% in a matter of months.
And with Shah’s guidance, life-changing gains like these could be yours.
