Shawn’s Trade Idea: Sell NASDAQ (NDQ) ETF

Following Nvidia’s solid earnings report this morning and subsequent +1.75% “pop” in the NASDAQ Futures, Shawn is taking profit on his NDQ ETF position as alluded to in this morning's report. A classic case of “sell the fact” after NVDA’s result.

Trading Ideas – Position Updates

There are currently four open trade ideas across very different international markets:

26/05/2025 09:23

Shawn’s Trade Idea: Buy Pilbara Minerals (PLS) at $1.20

The lithium miners have endured an awful few years with local heavyweight Pilbara (PLS) down 37% so far in 2025. The stock/sector is slowly gaining some strength, and we like PLS into fresh recent lows. This may look unlikely, being over 10% lower, but this is a volatile stock in a clear downtrend so investors/traders should never say never, i.e. “Plan your trade, and trade your plan.”

19/05/2025 09:36

Trade Idea: Buy VanEck Bitcoin ETF (VBTC) at $31

Bitcoin has been at the forefront of the strong recovery across risk assets in the last month, and with the “Trump Family”, as they say in poker, all-in on the crypto space, I believe for traders, buying the dip will pay dividends into Christmas.

There are currently two bullish open trade ideas across very different international markets:

Trade Idea: Long the BetaShares Uranium ETF (URNM) $7.33

The New York Times reported on Friday that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is considering several executive orders to expedite the construction of nuclear power plants. By definition, higher demand will create a tailwind for uranium prices and stocks. We believe Trump will pull this lever as he looks to reduce energy prices, one of his big promises on the campaign trail - remember “Drill baby drill”.
