The boys are back. Me, Bubba, and Rob — 45 minutes of unfiltered market talk after a very profitable week.
Here’s what we got into:
Another week in the green. Bubba’s Daily Trade Finder hasn’t had a losing week in over a year. We dig into why the average DTF subscriber made 50 bucks today and the bigger traders cleared $500-1,000 trading just two micros.
The bearish case nobody’s making. Bubba walks through why he thinks this rally is a retail trap — the big banks sitting on the sidelines, the lighter volume on every push higher, and what he believes the firms are really waiting for before they swing the bat. Important caveat: bearish thesis ≠ getting short. Trade the chart in front of you.
Why a 2-4% pullback would be wildly bullish. I show the yearly VWAP standard deviations on SPX and walk through the inefficiencies on the weekly profile that have to get repaired. The 7200 zone is the line in the sand for me on Monday’s open.
The Lululemon trade I’ve been stalking since June. A high-time-frame setup playing the COVID low sweep and reclaim — the exact same structure that delivered 487% on Etsy and that we nailed on Wayfair from 40.
Bubba’s gold call wheel. This one is gold (literally). Bubba breaks down a strategy where you buy two September GLD 425 calls for $5,400, then sell every-other-day calls against them collecting roughly $600/week. Math: $12K in premium against a $5,400 investment over 140 days. He explains why one-by-two protects your upside if gold rips.
The expected move trade. How Bubba uses options-implied moves to fade overstretched earnings reactions — the Google short we put on, and the Coinbase setup teed up for next week.
Plus the Kentucky Oaks degenerate hour and Rob’s brain melting in real time.
Until next time—trade smart, stay prepared, and together we will conquer these markets!
