Let The Speculation Begin" Bryan Bottarelli, Head Trade Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance Dear Reader, Everyone's obsessing over Jackson Hole this week. Here's what they're missing. Powell's gonna speak Friday about Fed policy. But Tuesday through Thursday, we're getting retail earnings that'll actually tell us what's happening in the economy right now. Here's the lineup: Tuesday: Home Depot Wednesday: Target, Estée Lauder, Lowe's, TJMaxx Thursday: Walmart and Ross Stores Something huge happened on June 30 Google just announced a partnership that could trigger an energy market shock, supercharge the AI revolution, and save homeowners tens of thousands of dollars. According to one former Google insider, the technology at the center of this deal “could be even more important than the industrial revolution.” Click here for the full story. Powell can talk all he wants about monetary policy. These companies are about to show us if consumers are actually spending money. And I've got my eye on one setup. One of these retailers has missed earnings three straight quarters: -3%, -11%, -23% on each report. Think that pattern just magically reverses this time? While everyone waits for Jackson Hole wisdom, I'm positioning for what's probably gonna be another retail disappointment. YOUR ACTION PLAN Puts early in the week. If they somehow beat expectations, I'll add calls and turn it into a strangle. But right now, the smart money says bet on more disappointment. Inside The War Room, members get the exact ticker, strikes, and position sizing for this trade. Because while the financial media debates Fed policy, we'll be banking on retail reality.
