In this sense, "top" refers not to best performing, but to the best looking trades going into the final three weeks of the year. BTC - IBIT Puts Bitcoin appears ready to trigger a Wave 5 (circle) Sell Signal targeting $58K. It would take a close below the bear flag shown, which if triggered this week would be a close below about $88K. The IBIT puts reached a peak gain of 117% on Nov 21st and have since triggered at least partial profit taking via the trailing stop. If the Wave 5 (circle) is triggered, I intend to add more of the same put. TLT Puts The TLT trade from last week is off to a good start, up 31% having reached top tick this morning and still showing a bearish price pattern to much lower levels. Bonds and interest rates will be in the news this week with a Fed meeting and cut on Wednesday, and a potential raise in rates out of Japan on Dec 19th. If so, it could be a catalyst for global financial volatility, in which case a new stab at shorting the general stock market will be in order. AAPL Puts The AAPL trade from last week is looking even better today. We are long Jan puts in the PRO Service, and/or possibly the Mar puts in Premium Service. As PRO members, the choice is yours as to which strategy suits your needs best, including. taking both positions. Watch this trade closely, because as implied in the initial write-up, AAPL doesn't fall to the bottom of the long term trend channel without taking Nasdaq and the rest of the market with it. Is there any fundamental cause that could tank AAPL without necessarily tanking everything? Consider: Tesla Pi Phone with free lifetime Starlink connectivity. Addendum: Speaking of Starlink TSLA "Elon Musk has indicated he's exploring ways for Tesla shareholders to get access to SpaceX stock, possibly through a future SpaceX IPO (Initial Public Offering) targeted around late 2026, though details are still emerging, with recent chatter about massive valuations and the potential inclusion of Starlink. While nothing is official, Musk's statements at the Tesla annual meeting suggest he wants to reward loyal Tesla investors with a chance to own SpaceX shares when it eventually goes public, potentially as a major IPO." Link We will be on top of this throughout 2026 as going forward, it may be the most compelling reason to own TSLA shares...period.
