The Market’s a Mess — Here’s Why I’m Loving It

Hey Traders,

If you’ve been following the markets lately, you already know — things are looking ugly.

📉 The Dow’s down another 400-500 points…
📉 SPY and QQQ are buried under every major trendline…
📉 And there’s no support in sight.

For most traders, this is a nightmare.

For me?

It’s a goldmine.

This Market Is a Sucker’s Rally — Here’s Why

A lot of traders think they’re buying the dip.

But this market isn’t ready to bounce yet.

When a market is strong, trend lines act as support.

When a market is weak, those same trend lines become resistance when the market tries to go back up.

Right now?

  • Every major index is getting rejected at resistance.
  • The recent bounce is a fake-out — it’s a “sucker’s rally.”
  • Trying to trade directionally right now is a great way to get chopped up.

That’s why I don’t waste my time trying to pick tops and bottoms.

Instead?

I let the market’s volatility work for me…

Why Volatility Is a Gift for Income Traders

The more the market whipsaws up and down, the more options premiums explode.

And if you’re an option seller like me?

That means you’re collecting some of the biggest paychecks I’ve seen in years.

In fact, I’d go as far as saying…

These are some of the highest option premiums I’ve ever seen on income trades.

That’s why, while most traders are getting crushed, I’m stacking cash flow.

Because when you’re selling options in a volatile market:

✔ You collect income upfront — no waiting, no hoping.
✔ You put yourself in the best position to win, no matter what happens next.
✔ You turn market chaos into consistent, predictable cash flow.

Final Thoughts

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen markets get ugly.

It won’t be the last.

But here’s what I know — these flushes are necessary.

They shake out weak traders and set the stage for the next big move.

And while everyone else is panicking, I’ll be collecting income every step of the way.

If you’re still trying to trade directionally in this market, be careful.

Because if history is any guide?

There’s more downside ahead…

Trade well,
Jack Carter

P.S. Speaking of stacking cash, THIS is one of the best income opportunities I’ve seen in years.
