MetLife: #PowerStocks Series Pick Of The Week (June 2026)

0-0. That was the scoreline between Spain and Cape Verde. Did it come as a shocker to you? I was stunned to hear about the scoreline in the World Cup, which is being held in Canada, Mexico, and the US. But kudos to Cape Verde's goalkeeper for making 7 fine saves. Later that afternoon, I was even more stunned to hear of a bettor who placed a $1m bet on Spain and lost it. I hope this person didn't risk more than what he could afford. Trading is pretty similar, isn't it? Traders need to analyze the stock behavior and weigh the probabilities. There isn't a guaranteed winning trade just because all the stars align. Hence, traders ought to practice prudence to remain in the game for a long time. How did last week's #PowerStocks pick, Reliance (RS), perform?

Performance Of US Stock Market vs MetLife (MET)

The very 1st thing I want to know is the trend of MetLife's shares. Knowing the trend of its shares allows me to determine whether I'd look for a buying or shorting opportunity because following its price trend will sharply increase my chances of profitability. Looking at the chart above, its shares are in a strong uptrend. Hence, I'd like to find an opportunity to buy its shares. What's next? I'll compare the performance of MetLife's shares against the S&P 500. Why? I want my hard-earned money to work hard for me. A stronger performing stock is likely to continue bringing a return that exceeds the market's. So, I'll refer to the comparison chart above again. While the S&P 500 has risen 15.1% in the past 3 months, the shares of MetLife have risen 24.8%, or 1.6x more! This outperformance is highly welcomed, and I'm all ready to buy its shares for an explosive swing trade. But, am I missing anything?

How Explosive Is MetLife (MET)?

Yes, it's premature to buy the shares of MetLife just yet. Because I aim to buy its shares and ride its next upmove instead of going through the ups and downs, my holding period will be approximately a week or 2. Therefore, I want its shares to have the ability to explode upwards. Have the shares of MetLife been exploding upwards consistently? Marking out the explosive upmoves for the past 11 months has left me stunned. There are 20 explosive upmoves, and each of them measures between 4.4% and 14.1%! This was made even more impressive when I discovered the size of MetLife. MetLife enjoys a huge market capitalization of over $55b! For the shares of a company of this size to consistently explode upwards between 4.4% and 14.1% is mind-blowing! Additionally, I appreciate that MetLife enjoys an enormous market capitalization, as this provides an extra layer of security against manipulation. I don't wish to lose my hard-earned money to manipulation that could be easily prevented! Here comes the golden question: Is it time to buy the shares of MetLife for an explosive swing trade?

Key Price Levels

Timing is crucial for many things in life. This includes stock trading and investing. Have you bought an explosive stock without checking whether the time is ripe? How did it turn out? Chances are, you suffered significant losses and emotional distress. Because you lost confidence and doubted yourself, you missed the next fantastic trading opportunity when it arose straight from under your nose! That's not what I want, so I'm going to uncover the key price levels of MetLife's shares. Yes, key price levels are also known as support and resistance zones. I've also marked out its support area in the chart above. After rising 11.3% in 3 weeks, a pullback is here. I anticipate that the shares of MetLife will pull back to around $86 before rising again. Do you see what I see? MetLife's shares have pulled back to its support area. Will they rise from here? Therefore, I'm waiting for its shares to rise from here (off $86) before I buy them to catch its next explosive upmove. Here's a pro tip: Instead of staring at your screen, consider setting a price alert on your broker's platform to be notified so that you can spend precious time with your loved ones.

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.
