Three Themes, Three Different Payoffs

The AI infrastructure buildout extends far beyond processors. It requires reliable energy and enormous quantities of conductive metal in data centers, power grids and industrial equipment. Today’s alert approaches that chain from three directions: the leading supplier of AI compute, a high-quality oil and gas producer, and a copper producer positioned for both the data-center buildout and reindustrialization.

All three stocks have 10 out of 10 Chartmill Technical Ratings and Fundamental Ratings of at least 7 out of 10. Their RSIs range from 54 to 57, giving us strong trends below technically overbought territory.

New to our alerts? Start here to see how we combine multiple sources of alpha, a structure tailored to the stock, and precise pricing designed to keep us from overpaying. We begin with the exit in mind and track every completed trade publicly, win or lose.

Subscribers don’t need to enter every trade:

  • The first trade uses a diagonal call calendar. We buy a call expiring in March, covering the company’s next two expected earnings reports, and offset part of the cost by selling a slightly higher-strike call expiring in February. The maximum risk is $485. If the February call expires in-the-money, the maximum gain is about $2,500; if it expires out-of-the-money or we buy it back first, the upside on the March call is uncapped.

  • The second trade also uses a diagonal call calendar. The maximum risk is $820. If the short January calls expire in-the-money, the maximum gain is about $1,400; if they expire out-of-the-money or we buy them back first, the upside on the March calls is uncapped.

  • The third trade opens for a net credit and can earn up to $1,150. It can still be profitable at expiration after a decline of about 10% from Wednesday’s close.

We place orders with our own money on every trade in every alert—we eat our own cooking. The same published price ceilings and floors govern our entries.

Paid subscribers will find the names, exact entries and pre-set exit plans below.
