Trump Trade Update
Exceeding our expectations so far.
Bigger And Faster Than We Expected
Last Monday, we opened a call spread on Tesla (TSLA 0.00%↑), which was both one of our system’s top ten names, and a “Trump trade”, given Elon Musk’s alliance with Trump. Our bet was on the stock hitting $350 by next December. This was the "less-contrarian long term trade" mentioned below.
As it happened, Tesla hit $350 today.
Clearly, we weren’t bullish enough.
Leaving Money On The Table On Monday
Because the Tesla trade was a call spread, it wasn’t feasible to take profits on it on Monday. However, I had two 200% exits on straight call trades, but it still felt like leaving money on the table.
Options
Calls on Robinhood Markets (HOOD 3.02%↑). Entered at $2.30 on 10/31/2024; exited (half) at $7 on 11/11/2024. Profit: 204%.
Calls on Bit Digital (BTBT 5.43%↑). Entered at $0.75 on 9/13/2024; partial exit on 11/11/2024 at $2.30. Profit: 207%.
Getting More Aggressive On Tuesday
On Monday night, there at least three “Trump trades” in our daily top ten names. On Tuesday, I plan to place bullish bets on all of them. This time, we’ll use options expiring this year, so we’ll be able to take profits sooner.
