The typical swing trade time frame of 2 weeks or so is very cloudy with the way the market started the year.

So I’m focusing on both a shorter time frame of one or two days and a longer term time frame of a couple years.

As you”ll see in the video, the short term play involves some call options on N:SPY as we head into January Options Expiration this week. Complete details in the video.

On the longer term front, I picked up a starter position in Verizon (N:VZ) last week to take advantage of its 5% dividend. As you’ll see in the chart, the stock really hasn’t done much in the past 12 months. It underperforms the market on both the upside and downside.

Less volatility as we collect that dividend.

More details in the video.
