Our Best Trades — and the Next One Setting Up. Our most recent three trades in the Premium Service: Note the three different sectors: Oil, Silver and Gold. Now let's look at the still active* June and July trades: *depending on profit taking stops Is there a theme emerging? If you answered Natural Resources, you got it. That's where our best-performing trades have been coming from. And there is another common denominator: time. Even with the coming Sep expiration, we still have plenty of exposure into October. USO 2-Day As much as I would would like to diversify into other sectors in our next few trades, as the saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Late addition: Here's a mystery chart that crossed my desk this morning. What you're looking at is GNR, the SPDR S&P Global Natural Resources ETF — a basket of global energy, metals, mining and agricultural companies. That line overhead? Roughly 15 years of resistance.

Coming soon: Start, Ignition, Lift-Off Our PRO Service received the aggressive entry: buy the first close above $150. That signal triggered yesterday. The Premium Service is taking the more conservative route — December expiration, giving the trade substantially more time to work. Any SPCX close above $150 is this Premium Service's signal to buy December calls. For Premium, I favor the $170-$180 strikes — far enough out-of-the-money to provide substantial leverage, but not so far out that we're relying on an extraordinary move just to make the trade work. SPCX Dec Expiration With 100 days until expiration, December gives SPCX something we value highly: time. The $170-$180 strikes offer the combination of leverage and staying power I want for Premium, while the $200-and-higher strikes are better viewed as speculative kickers. If this breakout develops as expected, $200 becomes a realistic intermediate objective. Longer term, I believe SPCX has substantially greater upside. But we don't have to predict it. We only have to follow the trend.
