Three Hated Tickers to Watch Next Week

Listen to the audio version of this article (generated by AI).

 

Tune in to any mainstream financial media site or scope the top trending tickers on social media, and day by day, it’s the same old faces. AI chips. AI research labs. AI cloud services.  

What do you not hear much of anyone talking about?  

Long-dated Treasury bonds. Gold stocks. And bitcoin. 

Naturally, that’s the corner of the market where our master options trader and 40-year market veteran Jeff Clark is focusing his attention. 

Those who’ve followed Jeff know he can’t help but be a contrarian. He’s always watching whatever’s out of favor, then waits for the technicals to confirm a turn.  

Right now, that list includes long-dated Treasury bonds, which he’s watching on a rate-cut thesis most traders aren’t positioned for… and Bitcoin, which has gone quiet for six weeks in a way he says almost always precedes a big move. 

And Jeff’s most recent trade on his in the 12 Trades to $1 Million Challenge, the gold miners ETF GDX, closed for a 153% gain in about a week – the second time this year that trade has worked using the same setup.  

I sat down with Jeff this week to get his full read on markets right now – including bonds, bitcoin, and gold.  

And I asked a question that’s always bugged me: why he still largely refuses to hold any assets for the long term.

If this is the first time you’ve heard of Jeff, this conversation is a good introduction to how he thinks. But it’s just a small taste of what he does in Jeff Clark Trader, his flagship advisory for readers getting started with his contrarian, options-based approach.
