Despite a cautious approach, last week yielded 10 winning trades and nearly $3,800 in cash in the live account.
While bearish strategies and gold-related trades have generated significant profits year to date, we’ve broadened our focus to identify opportunities in potentially tariff-resistant sectors.
The Market’s Rebounding — But This Quiet Setup Could Be the Real Story
Stocks are roaring back, and optimism is seeping into corners of the market that looked dead just a week ago. Tech’s on fire, rate-cut chatter is getting louder, and risk appetite is coming back fast. But behind all the noise, there’s a quieter setup forming — one that’s historically reliable, often overlooked, and loaded with upside potential. It’s not a stock. It’s not a sector. But it could be the trade of the quarter if momentum holds.
Markets Just Snapped Back—Thanks to a Trump Comment. Here’s What That Means for You.
The market surged today, not because of a strong GDP report or a surprise rate cut. It rallied because Donald Trump dialed back his tone on the Fed, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dropped a few optimistic words about trade with China. Just like that, the Dow popped over 1,000 points, and futures are green going into tomorrow.
This is what a headline-driven market looks like—and if you’re not adjusting your strategy, you’re probably chasing your tail.
Your Weekly Income Report
We picked up the pace a bit during the holiday-shortened week, closing five trades. Although we were net negative due to a loss in the 5K Challenge program, our four winners totaled about $1,460 in cash.
Among last week’s profitable trades was a pre-earnings play on Netflix (NFLX) and a diagonal call spread on a popular gold ETF that generated $910 in profits.
Gold has been one of our go-to sectors this year, for obvious reasons. In fact, we’ve racked up more than $4,000 in cash trading gold-related equities year to date.
Tariff Panic Drove Retail Strength — Not Confidence
Retail sales surged in March. But if you’re betting that means the consumer is back, you might want to pump the brakes.
At face value, a 1.4% jump in monthly retail sales looks like good news. It’s the strongest gain in over a year. But when you dig into the details — and the timing — this isn’t the kind of strength you can count on. Consumers didn’t spend more in March because they felt better. They spent because they were nervous. And that nervousness is telling us where the market is likely to go next.
Markets Are Tuning Out Tariff Talk — Here’s What’s Actually Moving Stocks Right Now
Want to know what really moved markets this week? Hint: it wasn’t the trade headlines. While traders are chasing the noise of the week, institutions are watching the one number that’s quietly calling the shots. Click below, tune out the chaos, and trade smarter.
Your Weekly Income Report
After averaging nearly $4,000 a week in net profits in our live account over the past three weeks, we closed just one trade last week.
That trade was a bit different in that we used a mean-reversion approach as an alternative way to trade volatility. It also marked the final closeout from our latest Millionaire’s Trading Club VIP session, where we closed four winners in a row in just four days and pocketed a quick $779 in cash.
While Tariff Talk Dominates Headlines, These Stocks Are Quietly Breaking Out
With Q1 earnings on deck and inflation creeping higher, the market’s revealing its favorite safe havens — and they’re not what you’d expect.
The headlines scream “TARIFFS,” but the market’s whispering something else.
Yes, trade tensions are heating up. Tariffs are sticking. The cost of doing business — and just living — is rising. But while the S&P 500 pulled back and volatility ticked up, a handful of stocks across multiple sectors quietly surged. These names might be telling us where institutional money is parking ahead of earnings season.
And that could matter a whole lot more than the latest proclamation out of Washington.
“The Market Doesn’t Understand What Trump Wants” — And That’s the Problem
Tom Essaye sums up the issue we are all experiencing in the market right now – “At the heart of the market decline from the Feb. 17 all-time highs in the S&P 500 is the fact that the market does not understand what Trump wants.”
That confusion hasn’t just sparked volatility — it’s finally done what nothing else could: pulled valuations back down to Earth. The S&P 500’s forward P/E has slipped from nosebleed territory to a range that’s more historically neutral. But between extreme fear levels, oversold technicals, and headline risk piling up, the question now is: are we setting up for a bounce, or just catching our breath before another drop?
Your Weekly Income Report
Stocks were decimated last week, with the S&P 500 experiencing a correction-level drop in a mere 48 hours and the Nasdaq crossing into a bear market. Yet, we still managed to secure over $5,000 in cash in the live account though a combination of bearish strategies and select bullish plays.
However, last week’s standout trade was a neutral strategy that delivered hundreds of dollars in profits and a 10%-plus return in less than five hours.
