Passing The Inflationary Buck

Jack Carter | October 31, 2023

Are you watching earnings? There’s one important question you should be asking yourself:

Which companies can pass inflationary costs on to their customers?

There’s one company that can do this better than anyone else.

That company is McDonald’s (MCD).

I’ve owned it for ages. And over 30 years ago, I bought my son 7 shares for his 7th birthday.

It’s a powerhouse company with powerhouse earnings…

Precisely because they can up their prices every time inflation rears its ugly head.

And while this isn’t a recommendation to buy it, I do want you to look at MCD and see how different it is from so many other companies.

Those companies that can easily pass on inflationary costs to the consumer that are going to survive and thrive in this environment.

Each and every week, I place a special kind of trade on solid stocks just like MCD. But I’m not betting on whether they go up or down.

I’m collecting income the instant I place the trade. And I’m using the stock as an asset to create income. If you want to find out how to do this for yourself, click here and watch the video.

Trade well,

Trending Stocks of the Week — Oct 31, 2023

Jack Carter | October 31, 2023

To help you discover the power of trends, every week, I’m sharing with you a handful of the top trending stocks.

These stocks are picked by the custom-built TrendPoint software I designed to pick the strongest trending stocks in the market right now.

If you know anything about me, you know that every trade I select starts with a trending stock.

Unless a stock is trending strong, I don’t want to hear about it. In my book, wishy washy stocks are the quickest way to losing money.

This Week’s Stocks

So without further ado — with markets firmly in BEARISH territory, this week’s list are 3 bearish trending stocks.

Remember, we always trade in the same direction as the broad market.

  • A
  • AXP
  • HSY

And don’t forget about last week’s bearish stocks, which you can find here.

This week’s stocks show a strong bearish trend and could still be in play for the next few weeks.

What can you do with these stocks?

Well, there are a couple of things you could consider — after doing your own research, of course:

  1. You could just short the stock. This is probably the simplest thing you could do.
  2. You could buy an option. You know I’m not a fan of speculative plays, but every once in a while it doesn’t hurt to throw a little cash at a speculative option. Of course, while options can move bigtime if the stock goes up… the downside of options is that you have a time limit on how quickly you need the stock to make that move.
  3. You could do an income play. If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of income plays, because they increase your odds of winning. We do this by SELLING options instead of buying them. If you haven’t tried your hand at income trading yet, I urge you to try this exercise for yourself.

    Without risking any money, it will really let you see the power of income trading and why it’s my favorite method. Whether you end up doing naked puts, covered calls or some kind of spread, this is really my preferred method to use when I’ve found a great trending stock like the ones on this week’s list.

That’s it for now.

Stay tuned, because I’ll be sending you a new list of TrendPoint Best Trending Stocks every week! (usually Mondays)

Trade well,
