I don’t know where the market is headed.

Up? Down? Sideways?

I don’t even have a feel for it right now. And I think most traders are in the same boat.

It’s just how things have been going – volatility breeds uncertainty.

But the good news is: I don’t need to know… because I have laser focus at the moment.

The Rock working out

When I focus on just finding great trades… and not on finding great markets… I cut through all that uncertainty nonsense.

So how does that work?

If you are trading lots of stocks or focusing on a basket of stocks correlated to the market, then a majority of your returns (or losses) will come from “market risk” and not your own great stock picking ideas.  

It is a good thing to keep that in mind.

Now, if I don’t have a good read on the market I probably want to go with a stock that hasn’t been highly correlated to the market lately and is in a bullish pattern.  

They are few and far between right now.

One that fits the bill for me is FNKO.

As you can see from the weekly chart, this is in a very bullish setup right now. 

I have no reason to believe that it will break down, but I am also preparing for that possibility.

Buy FNKO Jul 15 2022 22.5 Call near $1.40

I am going to place my stop on this trade just under $21.

On the upside, I want to sell half around $25 (which has been previous resistance) and then save a piece in case it breaks out higher from there.
