Charles’ Note: We told you it would be a wild ride!
In the span of just a few hours on Sunday, President Trump slapped punitive tariffs on Colombia in an immigration dispute… and went on to put all new visa applications for Colombians on indefinite hold. He also smacked a travel ban on all Colombian government officials.
Trump only relented once his Colombian counterpart agreed to receive deportation flights, and the entire episode was put to rest in less than a day.
I’ll spare you a hot take on whether or not that was “good” policy. That’s not relevant here. The point is that volatility is back.
The world held its breath, unsure if we were about to see global supply chains turned upside down again.
And of course, all of this happened just days after Trump demanded that the Fed cut interest rates and publicly berated Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
What will be the next shoe to drop?
Your guess is as good as mine. But money isn’t made trying to predict the next crisis.
We make money by trading that volatility.
And that’s our Freeport Society friend, trading master, and volatility wrangler Jeff Clark’s speciality.
Jeff’s been doing this for 40 years… and has profitably traded his way through many presidential administrations.
He believes the volatility of Trump’s first 100 days is the best money making opportunity we’re likely to see in our lifetimes. He explains how to grab this opportunity here.
And below, he explains why this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.
Take it away, Jeff!
The 4 Ts That Will Define Trump’s First 100 Days – and Your Financial Future
By Jeff Clark, Editor, Market Minute
Picture this…
It’s 1933.
The U.S. is in the middle of the Great Depression.
The stock market had just lost 89% of its value over the previous two years.
Unemployment was 25%.
People were tired.
In March, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was sworn into office. His first 100 days as president became the stuff of legends.
In those first weeks, he passed 76 bills that reshaped the economy.
It was a whirlwind of action, volatility, and unprecedented change that caused the stock market to rise 75% in that window.
But here’s the thing… nothing like that has happened since…
Until now.
Trump’s First 100 Days
With Donald Trump’s second term underway, we’ve entered a period of massive change and volatility.
Love him or hate him, I can’t tell you how excited I am about the profit opportunities this is going to give traders.
In fact, I recently shared how I’m setting myself and my readers up for The Most Profitable 100 Days of Your Life.
Think about it…
Trump’s leadership is characterized by bold, decisive, and aggressive action… which creates huge ripple effects across industries. He moves markets with just a few words posted on X (then Twitter).
Now, he’s got four forces defining his agenda…
Technology, Taxes, Takeovers, and Trade
I call them “the 4 Ts.”
And they’re going to drive massive market opportunities for smart traders.
Whether you like it or not, Trump’s first moves are going to include massive deregulation, especially in the technology markets.
Think about the profit potential that will come with cutting red tape on emerging tech like AI… crypto… and autonomous vehicles.
Trump has already come out in full support of building a strategic bitcoin reserve, which helped drive bitcoin to unprecedented levels… and gave my own readers a 42% gain on one of my favorite ways to play bitcoin… in just two trading days.
What’s more, think about how loosening restrictions on AI companies could accelerate the development of AGI (artificial general intelligence) and spark an “arms race” in tech innovation.
This will have wide-reaching implications… volatility… and, of course, profits for traders.
2025 will not be a buy-and-hold environment.
His Next Move: Taxes
Next, Trump has promised to cut corporate and personal taxes, like he did his first go around as President. Lower taxes can boost corporate earnings, drive consumer spending, and fuel market growth.
Sectors such as banking, retail, and real estate could see the most immediate impact.
And with this growth comes volatility, which, again, is our bread-and-butter trading environment.
When I say I think we’ll see at least one opportunity to double our money each week during Trump’s first 100 days… I mean it.
After That: Takeovers
Trump is constantly throwing global powers for a loop.
His focus on “America First,” of course, lends itself to big investments in defense… energy… and infrastructure.
And with just a few words, he tosses world governments into chaos.
Consider his proposal to acquire Greenland.
Or first backing a ban on TikTok… and now asking the Supreme Court to pause on that.
All of these unpredictable business moves equal, you guessed it, volatility.
And repeat after me: Volatility is a trader’s best friend.
Finally: Trade
Trump has always been vocal about unfair trading deals, especially with China. During his first term, he was hell-bent on renegotiating trade deals and imposing tariffs, particularly with China.
This seems to be set to continue… and will impact manufacturing, agriculture, and export-driven industries.
That’s why traders should hone in on the volatility this will bring.
I know I’ll be watching commodities-driven sectors and international companies for opportunities because trade wars will bring volatility… creating sharp movements that we can profit from.
What to Do Now
In short, market volatility will be the highlight of Trump’s first 100 days in office.
But I want you to start replacing the word “volatility” with “profit opportunities” in your head.
This is how I’ve thought about volatility over my 42-year trading career. It’s not something to fear. It’s something to embrace.
It’s how, in 2007-09, I produced 25-plus triple-digit winners for my subscribers – some in as little as one day – while everyone else was losing their shirts.
With the 4 Ts driving Trump’s administration… the backing of billionaires… his business mindset… and his “no holds barred” mentality that keeps world markets on tenterhooks… you can see how this is setting up to be the most volatile – nay, profitable – period in our lifetimes.
Remember, volatility is synonymous with profitability… as long as you have the right strategy and mentality.
I’ve been working for more than 40 years to develop the strategies to make this a reality. So be sure to watch The Most Profitable 100 Days of Your Life right here.
Best regards and good trading,
