Charles’s Note: Ronald Reagan was a transformational president. His rise to power signaled the end of the old New Deal regime that had been in place since the 1930s… and unleashed the no-holds-barred, rough-and-tumble capitalism of the 1980s.

The result was a multi-decade boom. 

But it didn’t start out that way. 

Reagan’s first year was marked by recession, high interest rates, and a stock market correction. 

Donald Trump promises to be a transformational president in his second term as well, vowing to cut the federal government to the bone and set American capitalism free again. 

Will he be successful? 

Your guess is as good as mine. We may not know for years. 

But the journey will be a chaotic one.

As traders, that’s exactly what we like to see. A little chaos creates fertile ground for trading opportunities. And Freeport Society friend Jeff Clark – a trader with over 40 years of experience – has a few tips on how to navigate what may be the most profitable 100 days of our lives if we play it right. 

Over to you, Jeff!

Profit Opportunities During Trump’s First 100 Days

By Jeff Clark, Editor, Market Minute 

In the immediate wake of Donald Trump’s victory on November 4 – thankfully free from mass protests and lawsuits – markets celebrated with a rally. 

Traders were buoyant about Trump’s promises around deregulation, more energy independence with “drill, baby, drill,” and a new administration focused on business concerns.

Headwinds from the Biden administration would be tailwinds under Trump. 

But in the almost three months since, the market has given up all those gains. 

Check out this chart of the S&P 500 (SPX) that shows the performance from election day until recently.

So, what happened? 

Quite simply, uncertainty.

And markets hate uncertainty.

Now that we stand on the starting line for Trump 2.0, what’s actually going to happen? 

Will tariffs reignite inflation? 

How will the Federal Reserve respond? 

Can Trump get more tax cuts? 

Can Trump lead the charge to beat the rest of the world in AI, electric vehicles, and crypto? 

How will the world respond to the huge change in America’s global politics?

Can Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) really reduce the size of the federal government by $2 trillion? Musk has already indicated this might be a challenge beyond his capabilities. 

What fights are going to happen in Congress? Remember, Trump was impeached twice in his first term.

There are a lot of unknowns, and political turmoil can create a roller coaster in the markets. 

So, during Trump’s first 100 days, when he has promised massive overhauls to the federal government and the economy, investors are likely to feel whiplash from the market volatility.

But for those who know how to play it, those same 100 days could be the most profitable of your life.

That’s why, today I’m going to tell you where those profits will come from and how you can bank them in your own investment portfolio.

Let’s dig in…

How to Spell Opportunity – V.O.L.A.T.I.L.I.T.Y

It’s all about knowing how to trade volatility. And it’s not as difficult as you might think.

Trading volatility can be a challenge – for the emotional investor. But for 42 years, I’ve built and created strategies for market environments like this.

For example, I called the 2008 financial crisis before it happened. And during that time, I helped my readers make triple-digit gains 25 times between 2007-2009.

The same story happened during the 2020 pandemic meltdown and the 2022 tech wreck. I’m on record warning my subscribers about what would happen next… helping them preserve gains … and then recommending dozens of profitable trades.

Seeing volatile times as sources of profits is how I’ve made over 1,000 winning trade recommendations over my career, helping regular folks take advantage of opportunities that most miss.

So, why do so many people miss the opportunities? 

Because volatility breeds elation and fear – two emotions that should never be part of investing decisions. 

When people get emotional about their investing, they make mistakes. It costs them money.

For example, many investors jump into and out of trades based on headlines in The Wall Street Journal or an interview they see on CNBC. 

A great example comes from Trump’s first 100 days in 2017.

In January that year, he signed an executive order stating any U.S. pipeline work had to use American-made steel.

Traders piled into a steel rally and pushed the price of United States Steel up almost 30% in less than a month. But beneath the surface, the company wasn’t in good shape. And the executive order took longer to implement than people thought.

U.S. Steel’s price collapsed just three months after that executive order. 

But veteran investors like me stuck to proven strategies and patterns. We didn’t jump into the latest hot trend based on headlines.

Using my system, traders could’ve executed a bullish trade on January 25 – the day after the executive order was signed – and tripled their money. 

Then, using my system to find bearish patterns, traders could’ve tripled their money again on the downside move.

I expect Trump’s first 100 days of his second term to create even more volatility than the last time around. As my friend and Chief Investment Strategist at The Freeport Society Charles Sizemore says, the man’s chaos himself.

So, here’s how to get ready to rake in the profits from the bout of volatility he’s about to kick off…
