You’ve probably been taught that diversification is king, that you need to spread your trades across multiple sectors, and that trading the same stocks repeatedly is somehow irresponsible.

That may be true for building a long-term portfolio of straight up stock positions…

But here’s what I’ve been seeing all week — and what’s been making me and my members serious money — the same semiconductor names keep appearing on my Friday Profit Play dashboard over and over again.

We’re talking about Broadcom (AVGO), Marvell Technology (MRVL), Micron (MU), Nvidia (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Oklo (OKLO).

And I absolutely love it.

These aren’t random picks — they’re large-cap, highly liquid names where market makers have to maintain massive positions. That creates reliable floor levels and the kind of volatility premiums I need to generate 20-25% returns with simple spreads in just a few days.

Why Liquidity Beats Diversification Every Time

You have to trade liquid markets. When you’re trading real money like we are, you need every advantage you can get. The reason I stick with names like Nvidia, AMD and Micron is because you can get in without the market makers screwing you on the bid-ask spread.

I had to give Nate Tucci — aka Publisher Nate — some grief yesterday…

He was doing an iron condor on Seagate Technology (STX), and I asked him what he was doing — then STX ripped 20-30 points higher. We’ve been bullish on semiconductors for a reason.

The momentum is undeniable.

When I pulled up the dashboard this week, it’s been the same stocks showing up — BE, AVGO, MRVL, MU , OKLOA, NVDA — and look at them, they’re all up.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s the market telling us where the action is, so that’s where I’m playing it.

The Put Side Advantage You’re Probably Missing

Here’s the part most traders don’t understand…

With the new credit spreads I’m trading, I focus on the put side because puts are generally more expensive than calls so you get better premiums — the cost of insurance or hedging is more than speculative upside.

Think of it this way. If you live in Florida, your home insurance is expensive because of hurricanes. If you have a beach home or you’re really close to the coast, your insurance is even higher.

The same logic applies to options during market volatility.

During times of market volatility — whether it’s an earnings event or a Fed speaker like Chair Jerome Powell this week — volatility becomes expensive. The market makers make that insurance expensive, and it’s always on the put side.

That’s where the edge is.

These semiconductor stocks have elevated volatility and expensive options, which creates the large premiums and protective cushions I need.

When the market keeps serving up the same high-probability, high-premium setups in the same liquid names, I’m not going to overthink it. I’m going to keep taking the trade until it stops working — and right now, it’s working beautifully.
