Textron: #PowerStocks Series Pick Of The Week (February 2026)

Did you also nearly forget to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

This year’s Valentine’s Day is just days before the Lunar New Year. After performing spring cleaning and decorating the house, Valentine’s Day almost slipped my mind.

Next up, Lunar New Year. Let’s enjoy our gatherings, feasts, conversations, and fun! If you aren’t celebrating Lunar New Year, have a restful time.

The S&P 500 has been indecisive in recent months, unable to break out of its current price range of between 676 and 697. Is this ranging motion likely to continue?

I think so.

While this price action continues, I’ve uncovered a stock that could hugely benefit from the current macroeconomic and market conditions.

But before I share my findings,, let’s review last week’s #PowerStocks pick: CME (CME).

Review Of Last Week’s Pick Of The Week

CME (CME) was last week’s #PowerStocks pick.

It’s a massive financial institution that controls several commodities exchanges in the US.

Despite its enormous market capitalization, its shares have been exploding higher continually.

After rising by more than 15% in a month, is a pullback here?

Yes, a pullback is here. But I’m still waiting for its shares to reach around $291 before buying them to catch its next huge upmove.

Where am I looking to take profit if this trade turns out as planned?

How Explosive Is Textron (TXT)?

Textron Explosive Up Moves

Yes, it’s premature to buy the shares of Textron just yet.

Textron Key Price Levels

Timing is crucial for many things in life. This includes stock trading and investing.

Therefore, I’m waiting for the scenario mentioned above to take place before buying its shares on the bounce (off $95.50) 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?

 

Deciding

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:

Comparison Table of CFD and Options

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.
