☆ How to get long the rotation into small caps at nearly no cost using options
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-12 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Investors endured a historic move in U.S. equities Thursday as the Russell 2000 gained roughly 3.5% while the S & P 500 dropped almost 1%. Although the small-cap index has dragged the megacap driven S & P 500 for years, I believe now is the time to own the iShares Russell 2000 ETF . IWM .SPX YTD mountain iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) vs S & P 500 year-to-date Small caps seemingly benefited from Thursday's cooler-than-expected June consumer inflation report via CPI, signaling the Fed could kick off their interest rate cutting campaign in September now. Thursday was just the second day since 1979 when the Russell 2000 rose more than 3% while the S & P 500 declined. In the event the IWM does not move higher, an investor has to be prepared (with the cash) to own IWM for a longer term play.

☆ A low-cost way to bet on the Tesla comeback using options
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-05 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

I believe Tesla (TSLA) remains one of the purest AI plays available to investors and has even more room to go higher as shorts cover their positions and investor enthusiasm reignites. The recent surge in TSLA's stock price has changed sentiment as Tesla seemingly has regained its mojo. Another key milestone event lays ahead at the August robotaxi event. However, I do have concerns that the robotaxi event could disappoint and I suggest traders to manage any and all Tesla risk prior to that event. Also, I chose an end of July expiration date for this spread which is about a week before the much anticipated robotaxi event.

☆ An options trade that wins if the red-hot chip trade cools off in the second half
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-28 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Although Micron (MU) has not had Nvidia's meteoric performance, it has been a stellar stock, doubling in the last year and up over 50% in 2024. The AI boom has buoyed memory chips higher as these chips have become a more important component for artificial intelligence accelerators. However, the possibly unrealistic bar now being set for AI earnings reports saw Micron drop more than 7% on high volume. I want to express a short-term bearish view in Micron as I believe further profit-taking will occur in the third quarter. Micron is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world, specializing in high-bandwidth memory and storage chips.

☆ A hedge on chip stocks if some of the profit-taking in Nvidia continues
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-31 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

After the first sign this week of potential profit taking in Nvidia (NVDA) since it's monster post-earning pop, now might be the time to hedge for further downside in the semiconductor space. I want to utilize SMH (VanEck Semiconductor ETF) to express my protective and bearish strategy. However, I do have concern about the stock's "over ownership" and investors who have become conditioned to NVDA's massive earnings beats. NVDA YTD mountain Nvidia (NVDA), YTD The protective trade strategy I want to implement is to define upside risk while seeking to finance the whole option strategy which will profit if we indeed see Semi's move lower. This also serves as a short-term hedge to any and all exposure you may have to the AI theme.

☆ A chip stock hedge if the AI trend cools off a bit following Nvidia's earnings
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-21 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Nvidia's earnings release is front and center this week as the beloved chipmaker should determine the short-term direction of U.S. equities. Led by the $2.3 trillion behemoth Nvidia (NVDA) , semiconductors have been on fire in 2024 after a dramatic outperformance in 2023. I want to implement a hedge using the popular VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) which has a near 21% weighting to Nvidia. The largest ETF to hold NVDA is the SPDR S & P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) , with a 5.1% allocation or about $28 billion in market value. It can (and has) propel NVDA higher in a faster manner, but it also can amplify a move lower (if that is possible for the AI darling, NVDA).

☆ How to buy a put spread on the Nasdaq as a portfolio hedge
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-17 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

I want to focus on the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) tracking the Nasdaq 100 as the majority of this year's gains in the S & P 500 are derived from Magnificent 7 constituents. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has more beta than the S & P 500 and has the potential to increase rewards if this downside protective trade pays off. This trade is looking for roughly a 5% pullback to cover the cost of owning this put spread. The Trade Bought the 6/28/24 $437 put for $3.50 Sold the 6/28/2024 $420 put for $1.45 Total cost of this debit spread is $2.05 or $205 per one lot spread In the event the Nasdaq 100 continues to make new all-time highs, this spread will expire worthless But hopefully the Nasdaq 100 exposure you have in your portfolio will more than cover the cost of this hedge.

☆ A market hedge for traders if you believe this May comeback is a head fake
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-10 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The S & P 500 has risen nearly 10% in 2024 and has racked up twenty-two new all-time highs. Since I believe that this recent Fed-induced rally will stall, I want to be positioned to capture another potential pullback (even if shallow again). .SPX YTD mountain S & P 500 YTD Back in April, investors had very little interest in a string of U.S. Treasury auctions resulting in yields surging with the 10-year rate jumping to 4.7%. In the event you have long exposure to the S & P 500, this short call will serve as a hedge to that long exposure. I remain optimistic on the equity market in 2024 but, I believe the CBOE Volatility Index at 12 reveals complacency short-term.

☆ A way to take profits and protect your post-earnings gain in Apple

Apple (AAPL) topped estimates on both revenue and earnings per share, but the $110 billion buyback was the catalyst for Friday's pop. Although I believe Apple is back on its road to recovery, I want to take some profits after getting long pre-earnings . AAPL YTD mountain Apple, YTD Buybacks have been a consistent and persistent theme for Apple over the years and should truly stabilize the iPhone maker short-term. Meaning if Apple settles above $190, my profits on these back-to-back Apple trades are the $15 dollars between the $175 strike and the $190 strike, plus the 69 cents I collected on this new call spread.

☆ Apple reports next week. Here's a no-cost options trade to capitalize on a possible earnings bounce
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-26 | by ( Jeff Kilburg | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Big tech earnings reports have put investors on quite the roller coaster. Alphabet , Microsoft and Tesla have all moved higher post earnings, while Meta and IBM had opposite reactions by dropping precipitously. Inside of this recent technology, I think it is time to add to a nearly forgotten Magnificent Seven laggard: Apple . Apple is down 11% year to date, and I want to add exposure in a zero-cost manner ahead of its earnings release next Thursday. Investors are anticipating a year-over-year decline in both earnings and revenue for this former tech favorite, but I believe this is already priced into the stock.
