Hey traders, For months I’’’ve heard the same drumbeat: “Big drop coming. Any day now.” Meanwhile… the market keeps walking higher, pulling back, then grinding again. And last week the Fed cut rates — which, nine times out of ten, is taken as bullish. Cue another round of headlines, commentary, and scary thumbnails. Here’s my […]
Don’t Panic at the Bear in Your Yard
Jack Carter | September 17, 2025
Hey traders, A while back, I was sitting out in front of my cabin in the Smoky Mountains, coffee in hand, when out of the corner of my eye I caught movement. A black bear. Not off in the distance — I’m talking maybe ten feet away. Big, quiet, and close enough that I could […]
It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense to Make Dollars
Jack Carter | August 12, 2025
Hey Traders, The S&P 500 (SPY) hit another new high today. If you’ve been in the market, you’ve been making money. Period. But I got to tell you — I got a call from a buddy this morning who wasn’t too happy. He’s one of those guys who calls when the market’s on a tear… […]
Markets Don’t Wait — Why Should You?
Jack Carter | August 6, 2025
Hey traders, I’ve been in this game a long time. And if there’s one thing I’ve seen over and over again, it’s this: Traders talk themselves out of winning trades. “Too Much, Too Fast” — Or Just a Bull Market? Let’s be real here… Markets have been on a tear. Since the beginning of April […]
The Market’s Rallying — But I’m Still Watching This
Jack Carter | May 12, 2025
Hey Traders, On Friday, I showed you how the market’s been stuck between two key trendlines — and how, if you had those lines on your chart, none of this sideways chop should’ve surprised you. I ended that note by saying: “If you haven’t already started trading this way — I’ll show you the subtle […]
Trapped (Just Like I Told You)
Jack Carter | May 9, 2025
Hey Traders, Look at the headlines and you’d think this market is resilient. “Stocks rally on stronger jobs data”…“Investors shake off Fed jitters”…“Markets hold steady despite uncertainty”… Every day it’s something new. The financial media needs a reason — a story — to explain every move the market makes. But if you’ve been following me […]

Hey Traders, Take a step back for a second. What’s happening right now in the market? Here’s a SPY chart. Take a look at it and think about what you see: Is it chaos? Is it crazy? Is it unpredictable? Nope.It’s just a downtrend… doing its job. Think about it: This is not chaos. If […]
Diving In… Or Jumping Out?
Jack Carter | April 2, 2025
Hey Traders, Take a look at this picture. Now let me ask you a question… Is he diving into the pool… or did he just launch himself backwards out of the water? You’re probably laughing right now — because c’mon, we all know the answer. He’s diving in. Because that’s what people do. That’s how […]
Down Markets Don’t Have to Mean Down Profits
Jack Carter | March 10, 2025
Hey Traders, There’s an old Warren Buffett quote that says: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who’s been swimming naked.” And let’s be real… the tide is way out right now. Markets have been getting crushed. SPY and QQQ have made new year-to-date lows four out of five days last week. And […]
The Problem With “Can’t-Miss” Stocks (read this before NVDA earnings)
Jack Carter | February 24, 2025
Hey Traders, NVDA was one of the hottest stocks of 2024 — posting a 171% gain over the year. But if you paid attention to the news headlines, you might have stayed away just as the rally was getting started. All the way back in February 2024, I saw this headline: Or look at this […]
