Some folks were skeptical, but he shut everyone up when he released a complete list of all trades generated by the system - going back all the way to 2016!
All thanks to cold weather, supply concerns and Russian sanctions.
“The sanctions target Russian oil companies Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas and their subsidiaries, more than 180 tankers, and more than a dozen Russian energy officials and executives. The sanctioned executives include Gazprom Neft CEO Aleksandr Valeryevich Dyukov,” as noted by CNBC.
With oil set to push even higher with those catalysts, investors may want to jump into oil stocks and ETFs such as:
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
Oversold at $106.28, we’d like to see Exxon Mobil race back to at least $116 – especially with a good deal of negativity now priced into the stock. Plus, while we wait for XOM to recover lost ground, we can collect its yield of 3.73%.
Chevron (CVX)
After finding strong support at $140, Chevron is now back to $153.18. From here, we’d like to see an initial test of $164 near term. We can also collect its yield of 4.3% while we wait for that potential move higher. Helping, analysts at Mizuho just reiterated an outperform rating on the CVX stock with a price target of $195 a share.
As the market begins to heat up, opportunities to use the “ratio spread” are presented to us. This option strategy has numerous benefits over just a net long or short position.
We all know the benefits of buying an option or futures contract that moves in our favor. Not only is it exciting to “beat the market”, but you are also making profits in your account which, bottom line, should be the most important factor to traders. In fact, the only negative factor to trading, of course, is that if the market goes against you, and normally you lose money.
What if we could design a position that would not only make money if the market moved as we expected, but would not lose (and sometimes make a small profit), even if the market moved drastically against us?
Fortunately, it is not a position that we have to make up or design. It is already well known to the professional traders and is called the “ratio spread”.
A “ratio spread” is initiated by purchasing a close-to-the-money option and selling two or more further out-of-the-money options. For example, with November soybeans trading at $6 we may decide to purchase a November soybean at a $7 call and sell two $10 calls. Let’s assume that the $7 call is trading at a premium of 20 cents and the $10 call at a premium of 12 cents.

6) Some profit examples are based on hypothetical or simulated trading. This means the trades are not actual trades and instead are hypothetical trades based on real market prices at the time the recommendation is disseminated. No actual money is invested, nor are any trades executed. Hypothetical or simulated performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. Also, the hypothetical results do not include the costs of subscriptions, commissions, or other fees. Because the trades underlying these examples have not actually been executed, the results may understate or overstate the impact of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading services in general are also designed with the benefit of hindsight, which may not be relevant to actual trading. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. TradeWins makes no representations or warranties that any account will or is likely to achieve profits similar to those shown.
7) No representation is being made that you will achieve profits or the same results as any person providing testimonial. No representation is being made that any person providing a testimonial is likely to continue to experience profitable trading after the date on which the testimonial was provided, and in fact the person providing the testimonial may have experienced losses.
