5 Big Trades David Prince Just Nailed
On December 30, we shared David Prince’s 2026 Trading Strategy. In that outlook, David made predictions about several names and sectors for this year – and many of his expectations are already coming to fruition. So let’s review 5 of those calls and how they’ve panned out so far just one full trading week into the New Year. 1. Rocket Blasts Off David Prince named Rocket Companies (RKT) his “favorite rates play”. He said the stock is a “must-own long-term and expect it to be above $30 by year-end.” And President Trump provided a gift for the sector on Thursday, January 8. In a Truth Social post, Trump said he was instructing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion worth of mortgage bonds to lower rates. And that sent RKT flying: The stock is up 20% YTD with over 10% of that move happening just on Friday. David has previously called this company a “one-stop shop” for every step in the home buying or selling process. 2. Flying Taxis in Vogue David predicted 2026 will be the year we start to see real progress in the eVTOL AKA “Flying Taxis” space. He picked Joby Aviation (JOBY), Vertical Aerospace (EVTL), and Archer Aviation (ACHR) as his “favorite names in the group”. So how have those names performed so far this year? Take a look: Since December 31, EVTL is up 24.3%, JOBY is up 17.9%, and ACHR is up 17.2%. These names have far outperformed the broader tech sector with QQQ up just 2.1% in the same timeframe. And David even gave us a tip for the future in this space, saying he will be a buyer of Anduril when it goes public and he plans “to hold it for a decade”. 3. Tesla Offers a Better Entry In his note, David said about Tesla (TSLA), “there should be a better entry in 2026.” And in the first week of the year, Tesla did exactly what David was looking for. The stock closed at $449.72 on December 31 and then pulled back to hit a low of $438.37 on January 7: That set up the stock for an 11+ point bounce in two days and David himself was buying on the pullback. For the long-term, he still sees some challenges ahead for this name. In his note, David said, “Tesla is really a bet on Elon and the narratives, not the P/E or car demand. Unless we see more progress in Optimus & FSD, I’d expect it to see $400 again.” 4. Immunome is Just Getting Started Immunome (IMNM) was a huge winner for David and the Inner Circle VTF® in 2025. And in his end of year note, he told us it was just getting started. The name gave traders a buying opportunity to kickoff the year, pulling back to a low of $19.33 on January 5: From there, IMNM rallied 13.8% to hit a high of $22.01 on January 9. David believes in the future of this company, predicting a “40-50% gain in 2026”. 5. Cannabis Provides Opportunity David called out the Cannabis sector as one where he sees strong upside this year “with a more industry-friendly President”. The ticker he focuses on for this trade is the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS) Here’s what that trade has looked like so far this year: MSOS bottomed at $4.45 on January 6 before rallying to a high of $4.81 on January 8. That’s an 8.1% move in 2 sessions. David says he sees “50% upside in MSOS on the low end” in 2026. How will the rest of his picks for 2026 pan out? We’ll have to wait and see.

So you took call options into an earnings report after hours and the stock is flying. The problem: you can’t take profits until the market opens the next day because options can’t be traded after hours. If the stock drops by the open, you miss out on that big gain. But there is a strategy you can use to lock in your win – boxing your options. To box calls after hours at a specific price, you short stock against your call options. This effectively locks in a profit at a specific price. Because if the stock drops by the open, you’ll make a profit on the short position. And when the market opens you sell your calls and cover your short at the same time to take your pre-determined profit. David Prince broke down the strategy recently for a member of the Inner Circle VTF® with a trade on Rubrik (RBRK), take a listen: David explains: Why you have to have enough capital to use this strategy The pros and cons of boxing an options trade after-hours Apply to work with David inside the Inner Circle VTF® here.
