While headline risks — specifically the ongoing tensions with Iran — continue to dictate the broader market's direction, yesterday's price action offered a glimpse of what a potential peace agreement could deliver. If the negotiations recently mentioned by President Donald Trump materialize, we could easily see a sharp, V-shaped recovery across the board. However, until the dust settles, defense is the best offense. As options traders, our playbook right now should be strictly focused on keeping trading volume low, reducing capital exposure, and pushing expiration dates further out to give our setups room to breathe. Following yesterday's market-wide reversal, a few compelling charts are starting to stand out. UPS is at the top of my list, presenting a clean, purely technical entry. To time this setup, I am focusing on three specific indicators: Fast MACD (5, 13, 5): I prefer this highly responsive MACD setting because it highlights shifts in momentum well before the crowd catches on. On March 17th, this indicator crossed into bullish territory, and it hasn't looked back. The blue MACD line continues to track cleanly above the yellow signal line, confirming the upward momentum is holding strong. Directional movement index: The DMI is my go-to for assessing the internal health of a trend. It tracks the DI+ (green line) for buyers and the DI- (red line) for sellers. A downtrend is clearly marked when the red line dominates the green. Right now, we are seeing both lines curl and actively change their trajectories. This convergence provides the very first footprint of a structural trend change. Relative strength index: Since March 3, UPS has been battered, dragging its RSI deep into the oversold zone — under 30. Buying blindly into oversold conditions is a quick way to lose capital; I always wait for the stock to prove it has a pulse. We got that proof yesterday. The RSI decisively crossed back above the 30-level, a classic signal that sellers are exhausted and buyers a...

artiemedvedev/iStock via Getty Images StubHub ( STUB ) is an extremely underrated company at this moment. With its stock plummeting more than 70% since its IPO last year, it seems that its shareholders have been left in the desert without a comeback ticket. Despite this, STUB has a spectacular market-dominant position, revenue growth, margin expansion, and decent management, and at this price, I could even argue that it also has a margin of safety, although the more purists would need an even lower valuation before giving that blessing. I consider this stock a decent buy, not a screaming buy, because of two major factors: high debt and high dilution. Data by YCharts I concede that the stock was very overvalued back then in September of last year, when its market cap was very close to $8 billion and its valuation was at around 40 times FCF. However, after the massive collapse of the stock since then and the confirmation of solid growth and margin expansion in its most recent earnings presentation for the consolidated year of 2025, the valuation has gone down to a very relatable 8-9 times forward free cash flow. StubHub: an undisputed market leader StubHub's business is very simple: the company manages marketplaces for live event ticket reselling. It operates under two brands, StubHub, the market leader in North America, and Viagogo, the undisputed market leader internationally. The business model is also simple and has some protection from competitors due to brand recognition and network effects. For instance, the company has important metrics like the GMS, or Gross Merchandise Sales, a classic of marketplaces, and a service fee, also usually called a take rate, of 20% across the board. StubHub StubHub maintains a live-event database and promotes those events on platforms like Google to drive ticket acquisition. Then, due to brand recognition and good reputation in platforms like Reddit ( RDDT ), the buyers and sellers of tickets go to the platform and make exchanges...

StevanZZ/iStock via Getty Images One of my absolute favorite companies on the market today is none other than midstream/pipeline operator Energy Transfer LP ( ET ). Anybody who follows my work closely knows that I run a hyper-concentrated portfolio. So it says a lot that ET is my third-largest holding, accounting recently for approximately 15.6% of my total portfolio. In my last article covering the company, published in January of this year, I looked at both its common stock and preferred stock. The primary emphasis in that article was to assess the stability of the preferred stock. But all the same, I reaffirmed Energy Transfer as a Strong Buy candidate. Since that time, the stock has been up 10.4%, outperforming the 1.3% drop of the S&P 500 ( SP500 ). But that's nothing. Since I originally upgraded it to a Strong Buy way back in November of 2019, the stock has generated a return for investors of 171.5%. The market has meaningfully trailed that, achieving an upside of just 119.5%. You would think that such a monumental return for investors would lead to the company being fairly valued at best and overvalued at worst. However, the fact of the matter is that the stock is still incredibly cheap, both on an absolute basis and relative to other similar terms. I continue to be astounded by the fact that the market has not appropriately rewarded investors. This is a high-quality operation with a fantastic yield and debt that is in check. This combination of factors makes it very attractive, to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if I still hold it five years from now. Taking a fresh look at Energy Transfer Energy Transfer Operationally speaking, Energy Transfer is a fascinating business. The company boasts over 140,000 miles of pipeline, not to mention a wide array of other assets dedicated to gathering, transporting, fractionating, and even exporting natural gas, NGLs, and oil. As the image above illustrates, its infrastructure stretches through a large portion of th...

adventtr/iStock via Getty Images I covered small-cap chip company Valens Semiconductor ( VLN ) back in January. I argued that it was time to sell the 65% pop because fundamentals were flimsy. At the time, VLN stock surged to popularity on social media. Bulls argued that investors were confusing Valens with a Canadian company named Velan ( VLN:CA ) that uses the same ticker symbol on the Toronto exchange. Some online news sites had reportedly confused financial reporting between the two companies, thus potentially casting Valens' shares in a bad light due to this incorrect depiction of the firm's financial status. It was my opinion that people weren't primarily selling off Valens' stock due to this misunderstanding, but rather that the operating business has been in a tailspin. And, fast forward to today, and the stock has resumed its longer-term downward trend: Data by YCharts With the stock back to a much more reasonable valuation following the sell-off, is that enough to turn me into a bull on Valens' stock? Not outright, no. But it is enough to move me to neutral. Here's why. Q4 Earnings Didn't Move the Needle On February 25th, Valens reported its Q4 and full-year 2025 results. The best news was with quarterly revenues, which jumped 16% to $19.4 million, which was $0.6 million ahead of expectations. On a non-GAAP EPS basis, the company's loss of four cents a share was in line with consensus estimates. The revenue growth in Q4 could seem fairly promising in isolation. However, it appears to be a short-lived burst of activity rather than a trend change. For Q1 of 2026, the company guided to midpoint revenues of $16.5 million, which would be a significant sequential decline from the Q4 2025 result. And for the full year 2026, the company is guiding to approximately 8% revenue growth. That's not terrible, but it's not nearly enough to change the narrative for a company that is losing money on an adjusted EBITDA basis, to say nothing of GAAP earnings. Zooming out, Val...
