🚨 I’ll be live at 2 p.m. ET 🚨
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s first rate decision could spark the biggest volatility event of the month — join me at 2 o’clock today to see how I’m targeting daily opportunities in the S&P 500, even with an account as small as $1,000 [tap to join us]!
I’ve completely shifted how I’m approaching the market right now because of one simple observation — most stocks are priced too efficiently to give you a real edge.
Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL) and Meta Platforms (META) — about 90% of the big names out there have all the known information already baked in. There’s nothing unknown, nothing mispriced, nothing that creates the explosive moves I’m after.
That’s why I’m hunting for companies where the uncertainty is so high the market can’t price them correctly. These are the stocks that can move 10% to 20% in a session and don’t care what the indexes are doing.
And this doesn’t just happen in isolated names…
Whenever a category-defining company goes public — whether it’s a giant like SpaceX (SPCX) or earlier examples like Coinbase (COIN) or Snowflake (SNOW) — the volatility bleeds into everything around it. Entire groups of related stocks start reacting because no one knows how to price the new information.
It creates a halo effect that drives fresh dislocations and fresh opportunities.
Why Uncertainty Creates the Edge
One of the cleanest tells that the market can’t price a stock is the options chain. When implied volatility is elevated, it means the market itself is signaling uncertainty.
Expensive options aren’t a nuisance — they’re a beacon. They tell you there’s disagreement, confusion, lack of coverage and most importantly potential for outsized moves.
That’s exactly what we saw in newer names like NBIS Group (NBIS). It ripped higher because nobody had clear data on it, and the options were priced aggressively, reflecting that uncertainty. The same thing played out in chipmakers like Micron (MU) and Marvell (MRVL), which doubled and tripled as investors struggled to quantify AI-driven demand.
These aren’t random momentum surges. The edge comes from focusing on companies with limited or no major analyst coverage. When Wall Street doesn’t have the full dataset, price discovery gets messy — and messy pricing is exactly where outliers live.
How I’m Trading These Moves
The reason I’m leaning into options on these setups is simple. When you combine high uncertainty with the potential for sharp directional moves, options become the most efficient tool. Even when they’re pricey, they amplify both the volatility and the trend, which is exactly what these names offer.
And none of this is guesswork. I use a dashboard built around filters designed to spot every rally forming inside a halo stock. It tracks volatility, price behavior, momentum shifts and related-sector reactions. That process lets me find opportunities not only in a single name but across entire sectors — whether it’s crypto around COIN, cloud around SNOW or EV stocks around Rivian (RIVN).
This pattern has repeated across almost every major IPO and every major sector. When the market faces real uncertainty, mispricing isn’t the exception — it becomes the rule.
That’s where the edge is, and that’s where I’m focused right now.

Order Flow:
This is for informational and educational purposes only. These are not official alerts issued by Lance, but rather some interesting orders picked by the team at Lance Ippolito Trading.
When you look at these plays, always take the market maker move into consideration.
You can be right on the direction but still lose money if the stock doesn’t move enough. That’s where the market maker move comes in clutch.
With puts, they’re often downside hedges in case a stock tanks, especially around earnings. The further out of the money they are, the more likely they are to be hedges.
Also be sure and check when the company’s earnings date is because many of the plays we post here are centered around earnings!
If a stock is really expensive, consider a spread to lower the cost.
And finally, always remember the golden rule when it comes to buying calls: Buy dips, sell rips — and don’t chase!
If a stock’s moved a ton already today, maybe wait for a pullback.
There is inherent risk in trading. Trade at your own risk.
Note: If no date is listed after the month, it’s the monthly expiration (third Friday).
