The Secret That Minted Profits - Not Pain - on Tesla

[Inside Money Morning] The Secret That Minted Profits - Not Pain - on Tesla Dear Reader, [Last week]( live on camera, I - Matthew Carr - shared one of my most prized earnings season secrets. And if you listened - and acted on what I revealed - you had the chance to see gains of 232%... 241%... 292%... even 305% or more in less than 48 hours! Best of all, that was while the market was cratering lower. Think about that... While the rest of the investing world was seeing red, you'd have been celebrating a fat stack of green. But don't fret, if you missed the opportunities this week. There's more to come, especially as we head deeper into earnings season. And I have plenty more secrets up my sleeve to share with you. In fact, I'll unveil my next three on Tuesday at 11:00 AM ET on Money Morning Live. So, be sure to tune in. And here's the kicker... this information is free... for now. If you don't want to wait until next week for some of the juicy details, then keep reading. --------------------------------------------------------------- [Trade the stocks getting shred by the Fed]( The Fed's plan to bulldoze our economy has created a rare opportunity to profit from the Zombie Stocks that are headed for a fall.

I've been relying on it for almost two decades. In that time, it helped me earn portfolio performance awards in 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022. And set records for the three largest gains in company history. I even used this enigma in 2022 to score overnight wins of 87.5% on 23&Me Holdings (Nasdaq: ME), 100% on Walgreens Boots Alliance (NYSE: WBA), 149% on ZoomInfo Technologies (Nasdaq: ZI), 241.7% on Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO), 306.25% on Tandem Diabetes (Nasdaq: TNDM) and 399% on Meta Platforms (Nasdaq: FB)! And that's only to name a few. So, what's this "classified money-printer?" It's called Vertical Earnings Analysis - or VertEA. It's an approach I've been pioneering that does away with the linear thinking that plagues Wall Street, and actually compares apples-to-apples. Too often, the mainstream financial news media will tout, "Over the last six earnings reports, Company XYZ has beat (or missed) four times." That tells you a linear trend, but nothing more. The reality is that most businesses are subject to these pushes and pulls throughout the year. They have inventory to manage, products to build and ship, input costs, and consumer demand to wrestle with, among a host of other impacts. And they're not uniform. They don't move in a straight line. They move in waves. So, one of the secrets I've relied on for decades is VertEA. I look at how a company performs every first quarter, every second quarter, third quarter, and fourth. Once you adopt this approach, these very clear signals and trends begin to appear. And it allows you to exploit opportunities most investors have no idea are there. The Crash We Saw Coming On Thursday, many were quick to quip Tesla's (Nasdaq: TSLA) shares suffered a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." But that's not true. Their drop was right on time. On Wednesday evening, everyone's favorite EV maker reported first-quarter earnings. As per usual, there was a lot of hemming and hawing about whether or not the company would beat or missing estimates. But I already knew the answer thanks to VertEA. That's how I was able to tell viewers what to expect on Tuesday already, during my weekly segment, The Trend is Your Friend. I explained to expect a move of about 6.4% for the EV maker's shares. II was confident that 6.4% was to be down. And this simple chart explained why... This is the reaction of Tesla's shares to first-quarter results from 2015 to 2022. And we can plainly see, in a span of eight years, TSLA shares tumbled on this report six times. For the math club kids out there, you know that's a 75% chance that Tesla shares were going to drop no matter what "Meme Lord" CEO Elon Musk had to say. Because, historically, it hasn't been good. And that relates back to the cyclical nature of Tesla's business, which I won't get into here. So, was I surprised that Tesla's shares collapsed on first-quarter results and guidance that fell short? Nope. It played out exactly as I expected. And the thanks go to VertEA. 300%+ Gains in 48 Hours Now, if you had acted on the signal that I showed you, you would've had the chance to turn $299 into more than $1,211... in less than 48 hours! Imagine that... a 305% gain as Tesla shares tanked and everyone else on Wall Street was wondering what happened. And you accomplished it without "0DTE." We're talking a relatively more conservative play, buying the weekly April 21, 2023 $175 puts. Just look at what happened as the EV maker's shares tumbled 9.75%! But here's the best part... more conservative strikes, like the April $180s, $182.50s and $183.30s - which were near or at-the-money when I revealed my secret to consistent earnings wins - provided chances to triple your money! All while the rest of Wall Street was scratching their heads about what Tesla's miss means for company, the EV market, and the economy (as they do every year). So, here's the freebie... That's now seven of the last nine (77.8%) first-quarter earnings releases Tesla shares have tanked. And six of those were for drops of 4% or more. That's a clear trend. Remember that for April 2024. Last week, investors were obsessed with financials, when I didn't think they needed to be. My focus was on Tesla and Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX) - which also played out exactly as expected. Big tech is in focus next, with Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL), Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), Meta, and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) coming under the spotlight. Next Tuesday, I'll be sharing what VertEA has to say about some of these. So, don't miss The Trend is Your Friend!
