Trade Alert: Euphoria

Bullish options trades on three Trump trade top names.

I don’t watch the show, so I guess its title is ironic.

A Different Kind Of Market

Since last week’s election, we’ve been in a euphoric market for crypto and other “Trump trades”, i.e., names that are expected to benefit from President-Elect Trump returning to the White House. This market calls for a different kind of trading. Valuation and other fundamental metrics aren’t going to help us here.

But Portfolio Armor’s Top Ten Names might. That—along with what my understanding of what a “Trump trade” is, is what I’m betting on here. In last night’s post, I mentioned that at least three names in Monday’s top ten were Trump trades.

Going over the list later, I found a fourth, a name I hadn’t been familiar with. I am placing bullish bets on all four today.

Details on those below, but first, let me address a question that may be on your mind.

What If This Is A Bubble?

It most certainly is a bubble, but bubbles are when you can make the most money in short periods of time. The key is to get out before it bursts. If I had to guess how long this bubble would last, I’d say until about the end of the year.

Between now and then, traders are free to imagine all sorts of positive impacts from a Trump 2.0 administration—maybe they’ll start a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve? And so on. Once Trump enters the White House in late January, those hopes will meet some resistance and Trump trades may need to be repriced.

So, we are going to try to take profits before the end of the year.
