Some of the Safest Places to Invest Now

Inflation is still soaring.
Consumer prices for March jumped 8.5% year over year, which came in above expectations for 8.4%. We haven’t seen numbers like that since December 1981. Core inflation was at its highest points since August 1982. However, there was some good news in the latest data.
Core CPI – which excludes food and energy – was up 0.3%, which was just below expectations for 0.5%. With that, the market believes inflation may be moderating, which is why markets were rallying in pre-market. However, that’s only a month over month figure.
Year over year, core CPI is up 6.5% from last month’s year over year pace of 6.4%. So, don’t get too excited. That number alone is why we’re not excited.
Steps That Can Lead to Successful Options Trading

Identify the Long-Term Trend
The first step is to trade with the trend. Always start your analysis of a market by looking at a monthly chart. By looking at a monthly chart, you get a chance to see the ‘big picture’. Start by applying a 40-month exponential moving average to the chart. When you look at the monthly chart, try to get a feel for what the overall trend is. Pay close attention to the most recent few months (let’s say the last 5 or 6). If the moving average has been moving higher, the trend is up. If it’s falling, the trend is down.
Next, take a look at the price pattern, particularly the major price swings. If the recent pattern has been higher highs and higher lows it’s an indication that the longer-term trend is up.
1. BLACK SWAN SWIMMING? - According to Alan there is always money to be made but history has shown that profits are elusive in down side moves. Over the long run markets have always snapped back. Phil say that Swan has sailed and market looks to recover from negative first quarter. More certainly is supportive of the markets moving forward. Alan says using Put Options six months out as insurance is easier than timing selloffs.
2. CHICKEN OR THE EGG - Bird Flu is a concern that can offer opportunities in commodities. Phil says Tyson and Sanderson chicken suppliers can benefit on the pullback and Hogs/Cattle and meat producers are a protein play alternative. Alan points out that it only takes 40ish day to replenish chicken supplies so this could be short term. Look at $7 Corn, chicken is corn in another bag, the 2012 high was $8 so more upside exists.
3. BUY BIAS - Phil likes Clorox to clean up and the Energy stock sideways as a new buying area in a strong trend. Alan noticed that Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft are on list with easiest way to buy Nasdaq that has 40% upside on a full "V" recovery if history holds.
