My AI trade just banked 122%…
Some people are stressed about the AI market, but they’re missing the true value of this sector.
I’m finding a lot of great opportunities from AI stocks.
Every day, I look for the highest value setups. Trades that give me peace of mind because they’re the strongest of the lot.
We’re seeing a lot of great trade setups in the AI sector because there’s a lot of volatility.
From an investment standpoint, volatility is bad. That’s why everyone’s nervous about AI stocks.
But from a trading standpoint…
These are the best opportunities in the market.
AI Scaries
July was a tough month for tech stocks.
The recent earnings season showed, maybe for the first time, that investors want to see real revenue behind a ludicrous AI spending spree.
Some stocks flew higher after clearing the bar, some companies failed to impress. And the divergence echoed into the rest of the market.
As a result of the earnings volatility, an AI hedge fund named Situational Awareness lost $35 billion after making poor bets with as much as 400% leverage.
The headline only exacerbated an already jittery market. But in August, things are clearing up.
Now we know which stocks are lagging, and which are outperforming, and we know why.
A “shoot first and ask questions later” market has grown more cautious around AI valuations.
And now there’s a line in the sand for us to trade.
Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC)
In August, some of the tech stocks affected by the hedge fund implosion started to rally.
And on August 12, INTC hit my scanner.
It gapped higher on reports that the company raised its stock offering to $20 billion as demand for the AI sector intensifies.
Once the market opened for regular hours, the price surged past a key psychological level: $100 per share.
After the spike pulled back, I started looking for a setup.
Here’s the multi-day price action…
Here were my alerts:
1:06 P.M. ET: Bought INTC AUG 12 $102 calls on $101.80 Break at $.45 First target is $.75 Stops $.35.
2:58 P.M. ET: SOLD INTC AUG 12 $102 calls at $.75 Next target is $.90 Stops $.55
2:59 P.M. ET: SOLD INTC AUG 12 $102 calls at $.90 Next target is $1.00 Stops $.55
2:59 P.M. ET: SOLD INTC AUG 12 $102 calls at $1.00 Next target is $1.12 Stops $.55
All three of my exits triggered within a minute of each other. Here’s just the intraday price action from August 12 with my alerts overlaid.
I was playing a possible breakout to new highs.
The stock never made it that far, but I was able to lock in gains at 66%, 100%, and 122% before the price rolled over.
The Next Setup
There are new trade setups every day.
But different trade setups are best for different people, or should I say, different account sizes.
Maybe you only have $250 to trade with. Maybe you have $500, or $1000…
You should choose trade setups that match your account size and level of risk.
That’s exactly what the Income Blueprint does. It tailors the best trade setups in the market to your account.
Optimize your gains by trading the setups that best fit you and your account.
