  • Trump Trade, and the post-Thanksgiving rally

    I was selling a call and a stock considered a Trump trade, e.g. a stock that would do well if Trump won. Unfortunately, since this trade was capped at a 7 point gain, I gained $700 USD capped instead of $10,000. Yeah, this stock had a monster 3 day rally effectively pricing it out of my wheel. At least I knew what my exit was (-13%).

    Coming up is the post-Thanksgiving rally which usually affects small cap stocks. This rally is usually played with bullish trades that enter the days before Thanksgiving & exit sometime in the first week of trading in the New Year. There are some small cap AI stocks that are looking good for calls.
