Every time I send out a trading alert for 11-Day Trader, I always get comments & questions like: “Well, Serge, you could’ve done this trade… or that trade…why didn’t you?” And yes, with options you have a dozen different strategies at your disposal. But none of the strategies will make you money. In fact, you’re […]
After consolidating around $25 a share since June, Power Plug’s (PLUG) broke out to over $40 this week. And from here, PLUG’s stock price could soon test $50. This is all thanks to a red-hot hydrogen trend that shows no signs of cooling off any time soon. Analysts at Goldman Sachs and Bank of America […]
They say you can’t have it all, and that there’s no free lunch in investing. All true. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have both high monthly yields and be safe. Look, I spend as much of my time as possible on the road… Driving from camping site to camping site, seeing as much of […]

Recently, Seeking Alpha put out a list of low-valuation ETFs with strong performance year-to-date for 2021 – and I noticed one very familiar name on the list… The short discussion pointed out how investors may benefit from a shift away from high-valuation growth investments, to those with lower valuations that are also out of favor […]
In a flurry of bad news coming out about the company Facebook (FB) has announced a name change to Meta. For this article we’ll use the name Facebook, at least until they fully rebrand. Thanks to earnings, and an ad spending warning from Snap, Facebook shares slipped from about $342 to $312. Plus, if you […]
What are puts and calls, and how do options work? Keep reading for these answers and to understand the basic terminology you need to know.
Covered calls are one of my favorite strategies. They’re safe… Simple to make (once you get the hang of them)… And can create double-digit yields on stocks that don’t pay any dividends.
