Portfolio Review: Doubling Down on Energy-XLE Calls
We’ve hit 5x–16x returns in miners and metals. Energy is lining up for the same play.

The Only Portfolio Tools Worth Your Time
I keep getting asked about portfolio tools—what I use, what’s worth paying for, what’s just noise.
Our precious metals options have been unbelievable. Over the last two years we’ve taken advantage of this trade over and over again. SLV, GDX, and GDXJ calls have returned anywhere from 5x to 16x. SLV options in particular have been one of the most consistent setups I’ve seen — active all year, giving us clean entries and fat payoffs.

But not by much. We haven’t had the kind of trend confirmation that we’ve seen in metals or miners. Energy has been grinding, consolidating, and frustrating anyone looking for a sustained move.
But here’s the thing: if we’re playing the same game we’ve been playing — trends in metals leading the way, followed by commodities, then energy — energy is next.
