COVID-19 Honey Badgers

Danielle Shay joins Trader TV to discuss COVID-19 honey badgers. Click the image above to learn more.

One of my favorite moves at market open is looking for honey badgers. What’s a honey badger?

It’s a stock that defies the relative strength of the market because they’re benefiting from this world-wide pandemic, which makes them explosion candidates going into earnings. When I have my eye on one in particular, I’ll first wait for the earnings report to come out and wait about 15 minutes. If by then I can confirm the momentum’s leaning towards positive, that’s my signal to get in.

I’ll buy contracts that’re 15 days out and ride the wave until the momentum or my contract expires.

Another stock I’ve been checking at market open is Tesla.

A lot of people like to stay away from Tesla because of its high volatility but I love trading it. In my mind, though some days it’s down, on the whole it’s a bullish stock. Specifically, I’m looking to trade it to around $850-$900, and any pullback between now and then would just be a great opportunity to buy it on sale.

Is it “Too Late” to Short?

Whenever the market is falling, people want to know whether it’s too late to short. It’s easy to think it’s too late when it’s fallen so much, but in reality, the Nasdaq is only down about 10% year-to-date. In all respects, that’s a pretty minor buy-the-dip pullback and moment in time. I wouldn’t consider a … Read more

Capitulation, Incoming…

While indexes and key sectors have been falling, there hasn’t been true capitulation in the market. This is what we generally need to hit and maintain lows on a downward move like this. However, in this case, it has been a somewhat volatile but steadier decline than anything. Today, that is changing, as the Nasdaq … Read more
