Jack Carter | July 3, 2025

Hey Traders, Can you believe we’re halfway through the year? Tomorrow’s the Fourth of July — a day to celebrate independence, freedom, and the American spirit.

Jack Carter | July 1, 2025

Hey Traders, It’s the first day of the second half of the year, and SPY is sitting at a new 52-week high.

How I Protect My Gains Without Selling a Share

Jack Carter | June 26, 2025

Hey Traders, Markets are still red hot right now. Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), Robinhood (HOOD) — all hitting new highs. Now, most people see that and get excited.

Flat Market, Full Income

Jack Carter | June 24, 2025

Hey Traders, SPY finally decided to stretch its legs today. We opened with a solid gap up — and by the looks of it, we’ll close nearly 2% above yesterday’s levels.

This Is the Kind of Market I Like

Jack Carter | June 5, 2025

Hey Traders, Let me give you a quick head start today — because we’re in a market that’s starting to reward trend-followers again. First, let’s talk big picture.

What a Prison Break Movie Can Teach You About Trading

Jack Carter | June 3, 2025

Hey Traders, This is a phenomenal market to trade right now. But more than anything, what matters — especially now — is focus. Whenever I think about focus, I think of the movie Papillon. If you’ve never seen it, it’s a classic. Steve McQueen (seen above) plays “Pap,” a guy locked up in a brutal […]

Don’t Let a Shiny Stock Derail You

Jack Carter | May 29, 2025

Hey Traders, I know it’s tempting out there. Every time you turn around, there’s another flashy headline — the latest AI breakthrough, a hot new quantum computing play, or some obscure biotech stock everyone on Reddit is pumping.
