Hey Traders,
Markets are off their rocker right now.
This week alone, we’ve seen one of the biggest drops I can remember… followed by a face-ripping rally… followed by another 1,500-point plunge.
It’s not just whiplash — it’s full-blown chaos.
And I’ll tell you right now: this ain’t about tariffs anymore.
This Is Bigger Than That
The market is no longer reacting to one politician or one headline.
We’re in a new phase — and it’s not pretty.
The panic has now spilled over into the debt market. I’m talking about the massive global bond market — the one that makes the stock market look like the JV team.
And when you’ve got Treasury circuit breakers tripping and liquidity drying up, you know it’s not just about tariffs anymore…
It’s about recession fears, global slowdown, and the one thing the market hates most: uncertainty.
But here’s what I’m certain of: You can still thrive in a market like this.
In fact, if you do it right, this chaos could be the best opportunity you’ve had in years.
But to get there, you need to flip the script…
It’s Not About Stock Selection Anymore
Every day, people ask me:
“Jack, what stocks should I buy?”
“What’s getting hit the hardest?”
“What’s bouncing back the most?”
And I get it — that’s what we were all trained to do: hunt for the ‘right stock.’
But I’m telling you — in a market like this, that’s the wrong question.
It’s not about stock selection anymore.
It’s about strategy selection.
Because what matters most right now isn’t what you’re trading — it’s how you’re trading it.
You could have a terrible stock… but with the right strategy? You could be raking in cash.
Or you could have a great stock… but with the wrong strategy? You’re gonna get smoked.
This Is a Seller’s Market
The up days are huge. The down days are bigger. The premium in the options market is exploding.
And when volatility is this high?
Option sellers like me are licking our chops.
Because all that panic jacks up option prices. And if you’re selling that premium — smartly, selectively, with the trend — you’re stacking the odds in your favor every single time.
That’s why I’m not just “buying the dip” or chasing stocks up and down the ladder.
I’m locking into strategies like bear call spreads, covered calls, and other income plays where I get paid up front — and where time and volatility are working for me, not against me.
Final Thoughts: Survive AND Thrive
I’ve been through every kind of market you can imagine. Bull runs, crashes, flash panics, melt-ups, you name it.
And I can tell you this with 100% confidence:
The traders who survive and thrive during wild markets like this?
Aren’t the ones with the best stock picks.
They’re the ones with the best strategies.
So stop trying to predict where the market’s going next.
Pick a strategy that gives you an edge — and use it to trade smart, collect income, and stay in control.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
P.S. Volatility is sending this strategy to moon!
