Is It Magic? (or momentum?)

Jack Carter | April 30, 2025

Hey Traders, I never watch financial news. At least not on purpose. But this morning the radio happened to be on and I heard “S&P futures are down on ….” I didn’t even listen to the end. I think they said something about GDP. Honestly, it didn’t matter what they said. If you read yesterday’s […]

Driving Blind (don’t let this be you)

Jack Carter | April 28, 2025

Hey Traders, Have you ever driven on a road without lines? Or maybe during a snowstorm or a heavy rainstorm where the lane markings get buried under all the mess? If that’s ever happened to you, what did you notice? You probably found yourself drifting without even realizing it. Maybe you veered too close to […]

Hope Is Not A Strategy

Jack Carter | March 31, 2025

Hey Traders, I’ve been talking a lot about how bearish this market is — because I’ve seen this movie before. Because when markets start slipping, traders tend to develop a dangerous habit. First, they get fearful. Then they get hopeful. They’ll see any little bounce — even just a 1-day pop — and suddenly think, […]

I Lost This Trade… And I’m Celebrating (Here’s Why)

Jack Carter | March 19, 2025

Hey Traders, Last week, I broke my win streak. For the first time since last summer, my weekly income strategy took a loss. And you know what? I’m celebrating. No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. I’m celebrating a loss. Why? Because this wasn’t just any streak. This was 31 straight weeks of wins. […]

Hot Tip To Simplify Your Trading

Jack Carter | December 13, 2024

Hey traders, Let’s face it — trading the market can feel overwhelming. Every day, there are thousands of tickers to choose from, headlines screaming about the latest breakout stock… And don’t forget every TV talking head has an opinion about what’s coming next. But what if I told you there’s a simple way to cut […]

I Don’t Want to Say I Told You So (But I Did)

Jack Carter | November 15, 2024

Hey Traders, Last week, while everyone was popping champagne and celebrating the massive post-election rally, I was quietly over here waving my caution flag. Listen, I know it’s hard to hear someone like me warn about potential pullbacks when everything seems to be going great. Nobody wants to hear the party pooper. And believe me, […]

Nothing Ever Happened By Waiting

Jack Carter | November 14, 2024

Hey traders, If you’ve been trading for a while, you know the drill — the news, economic data, and reports are all over the place. One day, a report says everything’s on the up and up, and the next, they’re calling for a recession. It’s enough to make your head spin. Now, I’ve been at […]

Don’t Get Complacent: Why Big Rallies Can Lead to Big Pullbacks

Jack Carter | November 8, 2024

Hey Traders, If you tuned in yesterday, I shared some ways to lock in your gains and protect yourself after a big market jump. After all, it’s not every day you see the Dow pop 1,300 points right at the open. But here’s the thing — just because the market rallies doesn’t mean we’re in […]

Protect Your Profits After a Big Market Jump

Jack Carter | November 7, 2024

Hey traders, Yesterday, we witnessed a historic move — the Dow shot up by 1,300 points at the open. That’s the kind of action that can get anyone’s attention. But here’s the thing: just because stocks shoot up doesn’t mean they’ll stay there. Big news can send prices soaring, but it doesn’t guarantee they’ll stay […]

Jack Carter | October 23, 2024

Hey traders, Over the past 10 days or so, I’ve been laying out the pieces of my strategy for you. I’ve told you that I’m expecting a rally — and wouldn’t you know it, it’s already underway. I’ve explained how I plan to play it — NOT with risky, speculative options trades, but with higher-probability […]
