Weekly Update: A Stacked Strategy

I want to do something a little different today…

Instead of going over what’s been happening in the market, I want to talk about the system behind our strategy.

We’ve been getting a good amount of questions in our inbox about what happens if a buyout or other big piece of news doesn’t happen for our plays, and I want to make sure we’re all on the same page.

In order to be the most successful trader you can be, you have to utilize trading strategies with as many technical advantages as possible.

This is what I call “stacking advantages” in your favor.

Our strategy here at Altucher’s True Alpha is first and foremost centered around impending buyout deals and big announcements. 

So we’re buying options on companies that our indicator has identified as having an increased chance of getting bought out or having some other impending news on the way that would cause the stock to shoot higher.

Yes, it could be a buyout deal, but it could also be another important event.

All we know for sure is that someone is loading up on options contracts, betting on a big runup.

BUT we always have a “plan B” so to speak…

All the companies in our portfolio are great companies that don’t need a big announcement in order to succeed.

These are good tech companies in growing industries that already have what it takes to be successful in the first place.

Their state-of-the-art technologies and great business models make them all great companies to invest in with — or without — a big event.

Like Astera Labs, Inc. (ALAB)’s connectivity solutions for AI and cloud infrastructure… Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR)’s one-of-a-kind data mining platform… and Quantum Computing (QUBT)’s quantum computers, to name a few.

If a buyout deal or other important announcement does take place, our options contracts will skyrocket along with the company’s stock price, but we don't need that to happen to make a profit.

These are all young companies that still have yet to see their most significant moves… which we know they will. Any positive news could easily catapult these companies higher, taking our contracts along for the ride. 

We’ve seen this happen a few times recently — and we’ve walked away with triple-digit gains without a buyout announcement…

Like the 121% gain on half of our PLTR June $70 calls... the 101% gain on the first half of our Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) June $85 calls… and then the 287% gain on the second half of those STX contracts.

We’ve truly stacked the advantages in your favor with this diversified strategy.

We use our Blue Spike indicator to find great companies… we look at the economy to determine general market sentiment… and we choose options contracts that give us the best potential to profit.

The more advantages you have stacked in your favor, the higher your average profits will be over time.

We’re glad we get to share this one-of-a-kind system with you and can't wait to see what opportunities we will uncover next.

That’s all for today. Have a wonderful weekend.
