Trump Retardation Syndrome

Over on ZeroHedge today, I have a post about some of the reactions to President Trump’s China export deal with Nvidia ( NVDA 0.00%↑ ) and Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD 0.00%↑ ), which is sometimes jokingly referred to as “Advanced Money Destroyer” by traders. Coincidentally, one of those two chipmakers, AMD, was our system’s #1 name last night.

As regular readers know, since December of 2022, PA’s top names have averaged returns of 16.25% over the next six months, versus SPY 0.66%↑’s average of 9.16%. Today, we have bullish options trades teed up on our #1 name (AMD) and our #3 name (a nuclear stock) from last night.

In both cases, I’ve structured the trades to harvest elevated implied volatility heading into earnings, in order to lower the cost of our bullish bets. I’ve also structured the trades so our downside risk is strictly limited in both cases. The AMD trade has a maximum upside of over 100%, and the nuclear trade has uncapped upside.

Speaking of which, a brief reminder:
