The Fed’s Jackson Hole Gathering Brings Volatility
The Jackson Hole Symposium, a key gathering of central bankers and economists in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, runs from August 22-24. Powell is slated to deliver his remarks today at 10 a.m. Eastern time. The major indices fell over -0.05% yesterday, showing just how jittery investors are, waiting for a signal of upcoming Fed moves. You may remember 2022 when Powell spoke at Jackson Hole (a -5.5% move), but what does history have to say about the S&P 500 performance during this event?
Straddle Strategy Shines With Volatile TSLA
Despite our initial challenges with a Tesla (TSLA) credit spread position, we managed to greatly reduce our loss on the recovery trade. When we went back to the stock this month in the Income Masters program, we tried a new strategy that paid off quickly, yielding a nearly 15% return in just three days. Plus, we generated more than enough cash to offset our loss on the previous position.
Find out how we did it.
1 Stock, 20 Winners, $5,732 in Cash
Income Masters members pocketed over $3,100 in cash last week, closing out nine profitable trades. The largest income generator was a recovery trade on a drugmaker we’ve been trading successfully for the past year.
In fact, last week’s closeout represented the 20th winning trade on the stock in a row with more than $5,700 in total cash generated. And we plan to go back to it with another trade this week when we kick off Income Madness.

Growth-Over-Value Takes Over, But How Long Will It Last?
July saw the great rotation out of mega-cap stocks into… well, everything else. The Great Rotation helped push the Russell 2000 index higher as investors sought gains on stocks waiting in the wings. It hasn’t lasted though, as growth stocks are regaining strength and value stocks are rolling over. Growth has taken back over, but how long will this last?
How We’re Finding Profits on the Tech Roller Coaster
The stock market experienced extreme volatility last week thanks to renewed recession fears and the unwinding of the yen carry trade.

Indecisive Market Leads Many To Want To Sit On The Sidelines
The roller coaster ride continues as Japan eases off on rate hikes while the U.S. jobless claims come in less than expected, showing maybe the economy isn’t as bad as people fear. While the S&P 500 recently made new multi-week lows, the bulls are trying to regain control and looking to finish the week on a strong note. What’s in store for the week ahead?
Whiplash Has Investors Running Away From The Market
A few short weeks ago the market hit all-time highs and many investors had never heard of the Yen Carry Trade. Two weeks later the S&P 500 dropped nearly 10% from its highs and the Yen Carry Trade is on everyone’s mind.
