My Top Automaker Is Prime for a Post-Earnings Volatility Trade
How to Trade Ford’s Earnings Pattern
- Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F)
Ford is set to report earnings tomorrow.
Fourth-quarter earnings have been pretty strong across the board this week.
Google blew estimates out of the park this morning…
AMD is up 10% after issuing a positive forward guidance for 2022…
And XOM popped off with rising oil prices.
But get this – all of these names have followed the same earnings pattern.
IV rose into the reports… and fell after.
And now, it’s Ford’s turn.
Ford just announced a $20 billion investment in EV – news that tends to be a bullish catalyst for automakers like F.
Combined with positive earnings, this could send F on another bullish ride higher – one we’ll play with a post-earnings asymmetric trade.

- AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:AMC)
Meme stocks are popping again – and AMC shot up on a short squeeze yesterday…
Sending IV absolutely soaring after it crashed at the end of the month:
IV is likely to fall, and if this doesn’t hold then momentum sets up for a good bearish butterfly.
- Energy Transfer LP Unit NYSE:ET)
ET could be making a run over $10 this week. We saw some $10 call overwriting yesterday, and this might be an interesting inexpensive long call.
Today’s Market Will Determine
the VIX’s Future
The market opened up for the first time in a week, and my VIX light is finally yellow.
Yellow means wild moves ahead… and those moves could be in either direction.
From here, we could go back to all-time highs…
Or we could see the S&P drop back down to 4,000.
There’s one thing I’m watching TODAY to see where the VIX – and in turn, the market – will be by the end of the week.
This is a key day.
If the rally holds, and we’re still in the green by the end of the day, then we’re clear to keep going all the way to new all-time highs.
If we give the rally away, then look out below – because it’s possible the VIX could pop again before we really settle.
The Joke That Never Dies…
And the joke isn’t dead because uranium is fully thriving right now – and this big-money customer wants to ride that wave higher:
This customer is repositioning on Cameco Corp. (NYSE:CCJ), the world’s largest publicly-traded uranium company – and a favorite moneymaker for Profit Revolution members like Cool hand Vic:
And during today’s Profit Takeover show, I live-traded a uranium piggyback that you have to see…
