Check out this week’s here, and be sure to join next week! Amazon vs. Apple: Which Stock Is Primed for a Bigger 2025 Rally? As we kick off 2025, two giants are capturing the attention of traders everywhere — Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL). Both stocks have been staples in portfolios for years, but with the market entering a year of uncertainty following two bullish years, the question becomes: which stock has more room to rally? Amazon: The Comeback Story Amazon has shown significant strength recently, with a notable breakout on my weekly momentum indicator, Apex,  which tracks abnormal weekly breakouts to identify strong opportunities — Amazon has a profit target of $254.75, a potential upside of over 13% from its current price near $220. The company’s performance aligns with its position in the Consumer Discretionary sector, which is currently the top performer in terms of relative strength and seasonality.  Historically, Consumer Discretionary stocks shine in January, giving Amazon a strong tailwind. Combine that with its resilient business model — spanning e-commerce, cloud computing and advertising — and you’ve got a bullish case for continued upside. Apple: A Seasonal Powerhouse Apple has a different but equally compelling setup. The tech giant enters its "hotspot" zone on Jan. 6, a period where it has historically performed exceptionally well.  Data shows that between Jan. 6-12, Apple has delivered gains 100% of the time over the past decade, with an average stock return of 2.7%. Options traders might find even more to like, as options returns during this period have averaged 54%. While Apple has struggled in the short term — down over 2% today — its long-term prospects remain solid. Apple is a leader in the Technology sector, which also boasts strong seasonality for January. That combination makes it a prime candidate for a bounce back, especially after its recent pullback. The Verdict Both stocks present compelling opportunities, but the choice depends on your trading style. Amazon’s momentum and alignment with sector strength make it a strong pick for traders looking to ride a potential multi-week rally. On the other hand, Apple’s seasonal reliability offers a shorter-term play with high historical success rates. For my part, I’m keeping both on my radar.  The beauty of trading is that opportunities can emerge in unexpected ways — and as always, the key is to stay flexible and stick to the data. Whether you’re leaning toward Amazon, Apple, or both, keep your risk management tight and your eyes on the charts. Here’s to making 2025 another year of profitable trades! We’ll see you next week — be sure to tune in Thursday morning for “Opening Playbook”!  Graham Lindman Grahamm Lindman Trading Follow along and join the conversation for real-time analysis, trade ideas, market insights and more!

There is an inherent risk in trading, so trade at your own risk.  _______________________________________________ A new — and better — way to trade options in 2025   There’s nothing more infuriating than watching a trade go your way right after stopping you out for a loss...     It’s why many traders feel they have to stay glued to the charts, watching and waiting to hop out of any losing trade before it blows up their entire account. That’s where Lance’s advanced risk management comes in. It’s how we can enjoy true hands-free trading — knowing we'll be closed out of the trade even if we can’t get back to the charts. And that's what he'll show you live at 1 p.m. ET Monday, Jan. 6. You see, Nate convinced Lance to apply a new set of rules to how he trades options. When he applied these new rules to 100 live, published trades from 2024, not only did we take the win rate from 69% to 85.1%... He also didn’t get wiped out on the trades he lost. And now they both want to show you the new set of rules, and how you can apply them to your trading. We can't guarantee profits or prevent losses, but if you'd like to change the way you trade in 2025…   Register Here to Save Your Spot! The profits and performance shown are not typical. We make no future earnings claims, and you may lose money. The trades expressed are from an internal audit that applied a new set of option criteria to Lance’s real published alerts of the last year. The result was an 85.1% win rate, 38% average return (winners and losers combined) with an average hold time of 11 days. _______________________________________________ Want to get a link to TradingPub content, trade ideas, real-time market analysis and educational tidbits?
