An attractive blonde woman sitting at a desk in a modern, well-lit room, researching stocks ahead of earnings on her laptop. The viewpoint is rotated so that both the woman and the laptop screen are visible. The laptop screen displays charts and financial data. She is dressed in casual business attire with her shoulders covered by a blazer. Financial reports and notes are scattered around the desk. The background includes bookshelves and a window overlooking a cityscape, emphasizing a professional yet relaxed atmosphere.

Our 7777 Screen

Our 7777 screen is pretty simple. It includes stocks that meet these six criteria:

  • Have options traded on them.

  • A Chartmill overall technical rating of 5 (on a scale of 0-to5).

  • Chartmill growth, health, profitability, and valuation ratings of 7 or higher (on a 0-to-10 scale).

Pulling up that screen on Tuesday night, 7 stocks made the cut. A couple of them we already have open trades on, including Powell Industries (POWL 0.00%↑).

Today’s stock has these metrics:

  • Overall technical rating of 10.

  • Set-Up rating (and indicator of price consolidation) of 8.

  • Profitability rating of 9.

  • Health rating of 9.

  • Growth rating of 7.

  • Valuation rating of 7.

  • Piotroski F-Score Rating (on a scale from 0-to-9, with 9 being best): 8

Last time it reported earnings, back in July, it beat on top and bottom lines. It’s reporting earnings again next week, and the options market expects a movement of about $14 in either direction. Our bet is that it climbs about $8 post-earnings, and if it does, we’ll make as much as 200% on the trade. If we’re wrong, we’ll lose as much as 100%.

Another Lotto Ticket

This one’s a short term momentum options trade expiring next week on a Bitcoin miner, as that sector seems to be heating up. We’re already up about 87% on our $3 strike calls on another Bitcoin miner, Bit Digital, Inc. (BTBT 6.03%↑), the company whose CEO I interviewed below, but those are options expiring in February. Options expiring next week are a going to be cheaper so there’s a potential for greater upside in a shorter period of time with these.
