Last week, I told Trade of the Day readers I’d be shooting for our biggest Open House event yet.
And we’re already off to an incredible start.
So far we’ve closed 5 winners – and 2 of them came in less than 1 hour.
One was on cyber security company PANW in less than 20 minutes.
Another winner came on GLD in less than 30 minutes.
In short – it was a flurry of activity to start the day – and we’re off and running now.
But if you missed today’s winners, I’ve got good news for you.
There’s still 4 days of trading left – and I already have another round of trades coming up.
Here’s how I’m setting the table…
The Middle East Sendoff
As I’m sure you’ve heard over the weekend, the U.S. launched a strike on three major nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran.
In response, Iran slammed the U.S. attacks – and said they now reserve all options after “outrageous ” U.S. attacks.
So here are three potential trades we’re looking at in light of new tensions with Iran.
Trade No. 1: DIG ETF
DIG is a leveraged, ultra-long play in the oil/energy sector and one we could consider trading this week.
Any disturbances could spike the price of oil – and carry the entire oil/energy sector with it.
Right now, shipping threats around the Arabian Peninsula are rising, as are threats to commercial freight ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden. So this is on our radar for a trade.
Trade No. 2: DFEN ETF
DFEN is a rinse and repeat play, and we’ve already taken multiple winners on it over the past few weeks, including a 7% winner in 2 trading days today.
The DFEN fund invests at least 80% of its net assets to provide 3x daily leveraged exposure to the aerospace and defense industry of the U.S. equity market.
I’ll continue to get in and out of DFEN when/if the timing is right.
Trade No. 3: GLD
Another sector I look at during wartime is metals – and gold could be in for a spike as investors seek safe-haven assets during market turbulence.
GLD is already on the rise and I still think it has plenty of room to go, so if we see a pull back, we could reload!
