Yo, Pit Crazies,

That is four trading days in the last 30 WITH A 3% UP MOVE.

5% moves are not going to happen every day.

But as traders and investors, we can be ready.

Having a long delta strategy that minimizes risk is key to success. 

Staying in long enough until the tide turns is important.

That is why I designed our Div+ Strategy in OP Mentoring.

Above is a snap of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Corp (Ticker: MMM).  This trade idea gives me twice the upside and 1/10 risk of outright buying stock.

In a market like this, that is what investors need to ride the chop until the next pivot.
