Options action returned in a big way last week to the meme stocks, made famous in 2021 through Reddit user groups.

There are three good reasons the lithium story is probably about to go into overdrive. For one, the bull market is only accelerating.

For example, I recently noticed that NFL football analysts spent as much time on the betting spread as they spent discussing teams’ potential to win or lose. You see and hear gambling terms […]
Russia’s had their hands in the energy sector long enough. I’m looking at a chart that could spell a major blow to their energy exports which many European countries rely on. (40% from Russian to the EU by last count). A new trend is forming at this very moment. One not seen in over a […]

Call spreads in VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) could both be pointing towards much more upside in gold. The precious metal is often used as a hedge […]
