Fear has gripped the market once again.
After an optimistic 11 days, the market is feeling fearful.
While the S&P 500 shed 3.4% over the past 3 days, many defensive and energy stocks are enjoying themselves.
Have you noticed this?
Before I share this week’s #PowerStocks pick, shall we review the performance of last month’s picks?
- Brown & Brown: No entry
- Colgate-Palmolive: No entry
- BJ’s Wholesale Club: 3.6% gain
- Chubb: 3.2% gain
The bears took firm control of the S&P 500 in March 2025, pushing the market down by as much as 6.5%.
That’s a strong bearish move, making it the worst drop in a month since September 2022.
But did the stock picks shared soar and bring me a positive return?
Let’s review the trade idea shared in March 2025.
Brown & Brown’s shares pulled back, but its pullback wasn’t as deep as anticipated. Yes, it’s a stock that got away. And this is part and parcel of trading.
The shares of Colgate-Palmolive crashed through its support area, so this trade idea was discarded.
Then came BJ’s Wholesale Club. Its share price was sitting nicely on its support area, and it took off the very next day! It has brought a tidy return of 3.6%.
Things got better from there. Chubb’s share price did stay above $292 and brought a return of 3.2% in just 3 days!
Did you enjoy the trade ideas shared in March?
Review Of Last Week’s Pick Of The Week
Chubb (CB) was last week’s stock pick.
It’s an international insurance company.
Shares of insurance companies have been rallying while the S&P 500 has been sliding, and Chubb’s shares are no exception.
After waiting for a couple of days, its shares finally stabilized and took off, bringing me a quick profit of 3.2% in 3 days!

Which Instrument Should You Consider Using?
Do you ever wonder about the instrument used to trade explosive stocks?
With 3 main trading instruments available – stocks, contract-for-difference (CFD), and options, you wonder which suits you best.
Since stocks (as an instrument) is easy to understand, I shall focus on CFD and options.
Here are the main similarities and differences:
CFD works like a mirror to stocks. When a stock rises $1, its CFD rises $1.
However, due to its unique pricing mechanism, your options price doesn’t rise by the same amount. In fact, depending on the market conditions, the price of your options contract may even drop!
Your CFD broker will charge you a finance fee for lending you money for your trade. However, no lending is required for options, so there is no finance charge.
Because there’s a finance charge by your CFD broker, CFD is not the ideal instrument for mid to long-term trades. On the other hand, options allow you to implement different strategies across time horizons.
Both CFDs and options are leveraged instruments because they allow you to control a larger market position with a smaller amount of capital.
While CFDs do not have an expiration date, options traders must pay attention to the expiration date of their options contracts.
You must be thinking, “What’s the beauty of trading options?”
Options are like smartphones. You can choose to use a smartphone for its basic or advanced functions.
And options don’t have to be all about Math and dry!
It can be made easy to understand through real-life analogies.
In the same way, you can implement basic and/or highly advanced strategies depending on your level of comfort.
Options allow you to be versatile in adapting to the shifting market conditions and capturing opportunities in the process.
Are you a CFD or options trader?
I’m glad to be fluent in both.
