We have moves to make! Today, I’m recommending you close out one of our profitable long-call positions. I also have two new put-write trades for you to make. Let’s get to it!

Today, we’ll take advantage of the market strength that’s followed Trump’s Greenland deal and position ourselves to take profits on three positions … Note: I’m recommending you exit each of these trades at specific prices using limit orders, so please read the details closely below.

While we wait for our three bullish long-call positions (XLV, YPF and XLB) to mature and provide the high-upside asymmetry they’re designed for … We’re going to “reload” our put-write portfolio with two new trades today. I mentioned last week how the Volatility Index (VIX) was scraping along the lows of its typical range, and how that makes it more challenging to find attractive put-write positions.

Happy New Year! We’re holding off on adding new positions to the portfolio until next week – more on why in a moment. So just a quick note today … and one action to take, in the form of a profit-taking “trap” on our latest long-call position, on the SPDR Materials Sector ETF (XLB).

Last trade of the year, and it’s a simple broad-sector play … The U.S. materials sector has generated middle-of-the-road returns in 2025. The SPDR Materials Sector ETF (XLB) is up just shy of 9% year-to-date. That compares to gains of between 13%, from the health care (XLV) and utilities (XLU) sectors, and, on the high end, 25% from the technology (XLK) sector.
