Don here.
Midnight Monday. This offer changes permanently.
The VIX Volatility Mega-Bundle stays available after Labor Day. What disappears is the Labor Day price and the 90 days of free Xmas Tree Alerts that comes with every order this weekend.
My personal trade alert service. 19 windows. 19 wins. $12,789 total on one unit. Average $673 per closed window.
I've never bundled that with the Mega-Bundle before. I built the two separately for a reason. This weekend I put them together for the first time. After midnight Monday, they go back to being sold separately.
The bundle alone at $297 is the deal. The 90 days of alerts on top of it is the steal.
Get both here before midnight Monday
Here's what's still building in the market right now. Brent crude at $92 on active Strait of Hormuz conflict. A Fed divided 9-3 with a follow-up decision in two weeks. An AI-driven rally running on concentrated positioning. And the VIX at 15.43 heading into September and October — historically the two most volatile months of the trading year.
None of that goes away when this sale closes. Only the price and the free bonus do.
Claim your access to both before midnight Monday
To Your Success,
Don Kaufman
Chief Strategist, TheoTRADE
PS — This is the only time these two have been offered together. When midnight Monday hits, that's it. Get inside now.

Why can’t the president get along with the world’s nicest people?

Flood of LiesIn 2003, my wife and I bought a small bungalow on the North Fork of Long Island with a view of the calm, cool and crowded waters of Peconic Bay, an estuary connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the 8 million people who live on the largest island in the contiguous US.[1] Yes, we were the typical Manhattanites doing something we had absolutely no business doing: purchasing an 80-year-old clapboard farmhouse prey to salt air, nor’easters and East Coast winters (not to mention Tick Armageddon). So, for two decades it has been slowly falling apart. As a result, we are spending this three-day weekend lugging two decades’ worth of junk — 2012 tax returns! Once-used roller blades! The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D on VHS![2] — out of the basement for 1-800-GOT-JUNK to take away on a literal Labor Day for us all. This is not because we are tidy people who love tidying up a century-old cellar. It is because we need to clear the space before the licensed asbestos-abatement crew arrives. And why do we need this abatement? So we can rip out all the pipes down there and have a brand-new heating system installed — boiler, pump and, count ‘em, 14 new radiators. Anybody know how to borrow from a 401(k)?

Also enjoying water views were Frank Barry and his wife who, as Frank puts it, “picked a helluva time to go RVing in Canada.” Indeed. And while the Canadians he talked to were as genial as their reputation, more than a few said they have little interest in heading south. “Canadian visits to the US have fallen by a quarter since 2024, with one study finding the number to be more than 40%,” notes Frank. “Canadians’ boycott of US liquor and wine has been highly effective, cutting imports by some 70%.” In a nutshell, Frank writes: “It says a lot about a president when he can’t get along with some of the world’s nicest people.” Marc Champion thinks the US president is acting like the world’s least-nice person. “It sometimes feels as though the Trump administration gets its worldview and foreign policy ideas from a Kremlin School of International Relations course taught by Vladimir Putin — though at a CliffsNotes level that fails to consider how those strategies played out,” Marc writes. “Take the recent breakdown of US trade talks with Canada. The White House approached the meetings less as a negotiation between two partners than as an effort to force tribute from a vassal.”
“Russia’s stance on Ukraine is perhaps a far-fetched comparison with Trump’s view of Canada, because it suggests a future in which American tanks pour across the border,” Marc notes. “But that’s just the worst-case destination for policies of coercion, which tend toward escalation when weaker countries are shocked into confronting their dependencies. Instead of forcing them into line, the coercion more often has the opposite effect, prompting them to diversify their security provision and trade.” The water theme is more tragic in Nepal: It’s now estimated that 1,000 people have died in massive flooding and more than 4,000 are still missing. “Roads, tourism, trade and settlement are already transforming remote mountain communities,” David Fickling explains. “Meanwhile, warming is destabilizing the very soil on which homes are built, and sparking disastrous floods.” David has a contrarian suggestion to reduce the risk of future disasters and provide the energy these growing populations need: Giant dams. “Hydroelectricity is one of the few forms of generation to match the rock-bottom prices of wind and solar,” he writes. “Such dams also help to control the floodwaters that can do such grievous damage to downstream communities.” If only the World Bank would get on board:
The deadly flooding in the Grand Canyon illustrated a paradox: A massive deluge can be caused by an area being too dry. “The Colorado River that runs through the natural wonder has lost 20% of its flow during a generation-long drought,” writes Mark Gongloff. “But the rain it received on Saturday was far too much to handle, falling at more than an inch per hour at one point and ultimately delivering a month’s worth of rain in a day, Bloomberg News reported. It hit pitched, dehydrated ground, including some recently scarred by wildfire, funneling the water quickly into dangerous areas.”
While warm winters and dwindling rivers are huge factors in the drying-out of the American West, Mark is on to a less obvious suspect: cows. “Sustaining communities of millions of thirsty people in a desert is challenging enough. Adding millions more cows, or at least growing the water-intensive food those cows eat, ramps up the difficulty level exponentially. America’s arid Southwest is learning it can’t comfortably have both,” he writes. “The bulk of the Colorado River isn’t piped to houses. It’s claimed, in the form of food, by those cows. Irrigation for alfalfa and other kinds of hay grown to feed cattle takes up 32% of the river’s water spent on human endeavors every year.”
Also thirsty: data centers, which can need massive amounts of water to cool their hot servers. That’s leading to backlash even in less arid parts of the nation. “Public opposition to data center construction now runs higher than opposition to nuclear power plants, writes Gautam Mukunda. How would he turn things around? “An effective regulatory body, real protection for children, and communities that get more from data centers than 50 jobs in exchange for tax breaks would be a good start. Otherwise, the rebellion that’s beginning with data centers won’t end there.”
“For all the hype, AI still carries a stigma. I’ve been tracking the mounting backlash for a while, but communities now greet new data center proposals with pitchforks out,” adds Catherine Thorbecke. “It has become deeply uncool to admit that you used computer systems to help you with your art, not to mention that it will be judged more harshly. And trust in Big Tech leaders, often for valid reasons, is abysmal.” Valid reasons for distrust? Look no further than John Ternus and “Lake America.” Bonus Drowning Reading:
What’s the World Got in Store?
Bad BoysSpeaking of untrustworthy tech titans, how about ex-Microsoft CEO, Los Angeles Clippers owner and horrible dancer Steve Ballmer. Thanks to his franchise’s unbelievably complicated yet failed efforts to circumvent the NBA’s salary cap (it involved tree-planting fraud!!), Ballmer was suspended for a year, the Clippers were stripped of five first-round draft picks and fined $30 million, while star forward Kawhi Leonard has to shell out $700,000. For Leonard, that’s about 1.4% of his annual salary. For Ballmer, the team’s fine is 0.02% of his $145 billion net worth. So who is really getting punished here? “Ballmer can serve his suspension; Leonard can pay his fine. But the fans, commercial partners and other players will be stuck with a weaker team long after the people responsible have served their penalties and moved on,” writes Adam Minter. Leonard seems to be moving on to Toronto, a city now located on the shore of Lake America in the future 51st state of the US.
“This season will be the second of an 11-year, $75 billion-plus media deal that’s supposed to deliver star power and competitive games to media partners and fans. Yet with this penalty, the league has purposely kneecapped one of its two Los Angeles franchises for years,” adds Adam. “From a business perspective, that’s madness.” From a business perspective, so is Lake America.
