First, a quick note…
I’ll be live again at 4 p.m. ET with the world premiere of my brand-new strategy, and I’m targeting a $5k payout this week on a $2,500 investment. Not only that, but I’ll even have a gift of $870 for the first 500 people who want to take advantage of it along with me!
And of course I’ll give you the ticker for my trade totally free! I think you’re going to be very excited by what you see…
Remember that we cannot guarantee a winning trade — yes, even I lose sometimes!
That said…
Markets are bullish and earnings season is back!
Things don’t really get underway until next week with the big banks, but we are starting to see some flow trickle in.
For this week, Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) reports on Friday, and we saw a bearish trader step in this morning and buy the January monthly expiration, $9.50 strike puts.
WBA has seen a bit of a resurgence of late, with shares popping about 10% the past month. So this trader could be buying some insurance in case against a long position if the stock gives back some of those gains on earnings.
It is, however, in the money, which is a good sign. Market makers are anticipating a move of just 60 cents higher or lower on the report, so we’d definitely stick close to the money on this one if we liked this particular play enough.
We also saw a bearish bet on Citigroup (C ) for its earnings report next week. With shares trading around $73.50 this afternoon, a trader snagged the Jan. 10, $72 puts. Market makers expect a move of $3.79 higher or lower by next Friday’s expiration.
And finally, Nvidia (NVDA) is set to take the stage at this week’s CES 2025 event, and the bulls are out in force. With shares popping over 5% today, we saw multiple million-dollar-plus orders in NVDA, the biggest of which are down below.
However, remember…
Don’t chase! Buy dips and sell rips. If Nvidia fails to impress at this big conference this week, the stock’s gains could be given back in a hurry, so always respect that risk!

P.S. LIVE AT 4 PM: THE WORLD PREMIERE ENCORE…
Hey, Lance here.
It’s getting close to 4 p.m. ET, when I’ll be in the live room once again with my good friend Nate Tucci.
We’re pulling back the curtain on how I’ll be staking $2,500 to target a $5,000 payout this week on just one trade.
I’ll also show you the ticker I’ll be banking on to deliver the trade and payout.
Fingers crossed, because I can’t guarantee gains or prevent losses — no such thing as “guaranteed” when it comes to trading.
But if you’d like to see everything I’m doing to target the $5,000 windfall…
