This has never happened before

Good afternoon, And while I don’t think it will happen, it’s time for us to form our own war room. Okay, so the U.S. has never defaulted on its debt. But if the government doesn’t raise the debt ceiling soon, the wheels are going to come off the wagon. Janet Yellen said we’ll be unable to pay our bills if Congress doesn’t raise the debt limit in May. How serious should we take this? Hard to say but JPMorgan’s Dimon is pretty damn smart and they are doing a ‘war room’ over concerns of a catastrophe. In [Lightning Alerts]( we’ll ONLY be trading stocks like GSIT that currently have momentum. That’s a great hedge in small-caps. If markets do fall off a cliff, the UVXY Puts trade into Keltner Channels +2 and +3 ATR is a great way to play that, but too early for that trade just yet, I don’t think fear is going to get momentum unless they truly default. In the [$2,000 Small Account Journey]( the portfolio is at benchmark 2 so 50% allocation and I think it’ll be wise to have one of those trades be a bear Call to balance out any bull Put exposure. For the bear Calls I look for earnings losers with bear flags. SNAP was an earnings loser with a bear flag. A bear Call, for anyone knew, is when you sell the $10 Call and buy the $11 Call for say $.30 cents and make 100% profit if SNAP stays below $11. Almost every trade I do in the [$2,000 Small Account Journey]( is a bull flag on earnings winners like META. But so I’m not 100% exposed on the long side, a 2:1 ratio bull Put to bear Call is not a bad idea right now. Since I don’t think they default, but want to protect my growth, a 1:1 ratio will even out my exposure as a hedge during this uncertain time. Notice how every trade so far has been a bull put in the [$2K SAJ](? I’m trying to get this $2,000 to $100,000 so for at least the next few weeks I don’t want to risk being in all bull Puts. [Click here to join $2K SAJ](. Fact. U.S. has never defaulted, however, there’s always a battle over how to raise the limit. I expect some media fear mongering until a deal is reached. I don’t want to leave my portfolio exposed to this craziness. Do you? If you’re into small-caps, [join Lightning Alerts]( for a daily watchlist and trade alerts on monsters like GSIT Friday. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that momentum small-caps like GSIT do not care what’s going on with the debt ceiling. Focusing on these is just smart in general and even smarter right now.
