We played this volatility perfectly.
Directly after the midterm election, we capitalized on the short-term rally. Then I sent a trade alert for a potential selloff after the bulls ran out of steam and reality set in.
Both trades were massive winners.
Now I’m watching a new setup…
The market’s in turmoil.
After a short rally on Wednesday, major indexes (especially tech-heavy indexes) crashed lower.
The Invesco QQQ Trust (NYSE: QQQ) fell to meet support from July, around $660 per share.
And as institutions rotated out of tech, a different sector pushed higher…
On Tuesday, November 3, Americans voted with ballots. Now, investors are voting with their pockets.
I’m watching a specific sector for continued strength.
My Post-Election Trades
Before the election concluded, I theorized it was a “buy the news” event. And I sent traders my plan to buy S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE: SPY) calls.
Here’s a review of that trade.
After the election, I took a different approach…
I sent an alert to buy puts on the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (NYSE: IWM).
The IWM is comprised of small-cap stocks. And whether big tech continued to rally or pushed lower, I theorized the IWM would fall.
- If big tech stocks continued to rally, it would take attention away from small-cap stocks.
- If big tech fell further, that money would likely move into different sectors. Ones that are more reputable than risky small-cap stocks.
Here’s the alert I sent traders on November 4 at 9:38 A.M. ET:
“BUY IWM 11/5/26 286 PUTS 2 TARGET 280”
Here’s my alert overlaid on the chart:
The IWM fell far below my $280 goal.
And the contracts I alerted just a day before surged by 600%.
Here’s a chart of the value of the contracts:
I’m two for two in the post-election cycle.
And I’m already eyeing a third setup…

My Next Trade
Big tech is bleeding. But the money didn’t disappear.
It’s flowing into materials stocks.
Since the election, I’ve watched a clear rotation out of tech and into chemicals and commodities. I expect that trend to continue.
One stock stands out.
The Mosaic Company (NYSE: MOS) is one of the world’s largest producers of phosphate and potash, two key ingredients in crop fertilizer. That makes it a commodities play that doesn’t depend on the AI buildout or Washington’s tech agenda.
After sliding for most of the year, MOS bottomed near $18 in late October. Then the bulls showed up.
Yesterday, MOS traded more than double its average volume on a huge green candle.
In a market this bearish, that’s a dead giveaway.
The stock is still down 6% year-to-date, trading around $22 per share. That leaves plenty of room for a run back toward the highs it hit in September.
Here’s the contract I’m interested in:
$22.50 CALL Dec 18, 2026
My target is $27 per share. If MOS gets there, I expect the contract to reach $5. And I won’t pay more than $1.50 to get in. That would be a 230% gain.
I’m two for two since the election. Now I’m going for three.
Don’t miss out!
