Massive space deals just hit — what they mean for my No. 1 space stock, the next best metal stock and how high CoreWeave can really run. Plus, Trump vs. Health Care — who actually wins?
Last week we banked massive gains on Silver (SLV).
The kind of win that makes you want to step back, take a breath and just be happy for a minute.
But markets move fast, and sometimes the smartest next step is putting on a trade that runs opposite your biggest winner.
Not because the long-term trend has changed — I still think silver is heading higher — but because short-term, we might peel off before the next leg up.
That’s where ProShares UltraShort Silver (ZSL) comes in.
It’s the 2X short silver ETF, and the chart is showing a setup I can’t ignore.
The Technical Pattern That Got My Attention
A high-volume bearish rejection candlestick just printed on ZSL.
When you see that kind of long downside wick on heavy volume, the message is usually simple — sellers tried to push it lower, failed and buyers stepped in hard.
That kind of rejection often leads to a short-term jump.
Since ZSL trades inverse to SLV, a move up in ZSL would imply a quick pullback in SLV, which lines up perfectly with what I’m expecting.
But the chart wasn’t the only thing pulling me in.
The options flow on ZSL is roughly five times heavier than what we saw during our previous SLV trade. That kind of activity signals intent.
When traders quietly load up on near-dated calls, they’re positioning for a move, and that added interest becomes part of the sentiment puzzle.
It tells you the crowd sees something building under the surface.
The Strike, the Setup and the Logic
When I was deciding which strike to take, I approached it the same way I do every time — start by looking at how far the underlying would realistically need to move, then compare that to the pricing across several strikes.
It’s a simple process of weighing distance, probability and cost.
I looked at a few alternatives, but the Feb. 20 expiration, $3 strike calls stood out because they balance affordability with the potential for a sharp payoff if SLV gives us even a brief pullback.
The idea is straightforward — if SLV dips for just a day or two before continuing its broader trend, ZSL could make a meaningful pop.
It isn’t about calling a top, it’s about capturing the natural ebb inside a bigger move while keeping risk tight.
And that brings me to the real reason for taking this slow.
After a huge win, the goal isn’t to rush back into the same trade.
The goal is patience.
You protect the gain by letting the market breathe, keeping your position size small and using defined-risk trades to stay involved without giving back what you earned.
That’s textbook risk management, and it’s exactly why this ZSL setup makes sense right now.

PS. 4 of the Mag 7 Release Earnings on Fed Week!
Now THIS is what I mean when I said we were in the heat of earnings season…
We’ve got a full calendar with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks releasing earnings this week.
PLUS, it’s also Fed Week, and Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the committee will make their decision on rates.
And as expected, the markets are getting choppy, price moves are getting faster, and a lot of stocks are starting to buckle.
But not every stock falls apart when things get messy.
Some actually do better. The same pressure that crushes weak stocks ends up pushing a few others higher.
Those are the stocks I care about, and they’re the reason I built Wave Software.
Every trading day, it reaches into the market to isolate stocks that are showing the right structure, momentum, and timing to move aggressively.
It’s a disciplined process designed to resist even unstable environments.
Over the past year, this approach has delivered an 81.6% overall win rate, and since last October, every signal has closed in the green.
I’m not making absolute guarantees on the market…
But if you’d like to look at what signal is already going off right now…
