We’re due for my WorldView Report. In this once-monthly update, I walk you through the major U.S. sectors and industry groups, as well as foreign stock markets … and sometimes commodity and bonds markets. This is how we identify pockets of strength and weakness, through the lens of my dual trend-and-momentum approach, where we only buy things that are: Already trending higher (over the past six months). And showing market-beating momentum (over the past three months).

My team alerted me to two excellent questions in our Max Profit Alert inbox this week. They related to the “mechanics” of options… Specifically, how the price of an option contract is determined, and how we need shares of the underlying stock to move before we can make a profit. If you’re new to options, or simply a bit “fuzzy” on precisely how they work — don’t fret! Today’s walkthrough should be all you need to feel confident.

I don’t often talk about the Federal Reserve here in Max Profit Alert. We trade options over a rather short, two- to three-month time frame. We’re not a bond-trading service … where we’d be talking about the Fed every week. But with tomorrow’s Fed meeting serving as a barometer for what’s ahead amid high interest rates, high inflation and a potential banking crisis, I thought providing my own insights was prudent. I distinctly recall, back in 2011 when I pitched the idea of this service to my bosses, using the Fed’s policy as justification for the generally “bullish” approach I thought was best to take.

Last week, someone I follow on Twitter mentioned going to a party with 20 or so folks, none of whom had even heard about Silicon Valley Bank. Fast-forward to last night … I heard Lester Holt covering the story on his NBC Nightly News show as I cooked dinner. My point is: “Bank failure” and “bank run” are now at the forefront of the minds of everyday Americans. Most folks won’t care to understand the details or nuance of what happened at Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Instead, they’ll simply hear “second-largest bank failure” on the nightly news and grow more hesitant to invest.
