August 31, 2025       August ends, September begins — history says buckle up August wrapped with gold and silver pushing fresh highs while the S&P also hit fresh highs, before cooling into month-end. Now September is here — and history says it’s the market’s weakest month. With Powell’s rate-cut hints behind us and a flood of economic data on deck, traders are asking: will September bring just sideways chop… or the start of something sharper? In this week’s Roundup, our editors break down the signals they’re watching — from OPEX timing to expiration mechanics to simple, repeatable setups — all designed to keep you steady no matter how the new month starts. To your prosperity, — The ProsperityPub Team HOT TIPS Key Market Insights   • Gold and silver hit fresh highs while the S&P cooled into month-end. In his Weekly Wrap-Up video, Geof Smith explains why September’s weak track record and next week’s data flood could shake things up.   • Options expiration (OPEX) sets the tone. Our pros say if a shift comes, it’s most likely now — sideways drifts or September slips could be next.   • Assignment isn’t automatic. Jack Carter breaks down the real mechanics of options expiration — and how to manage it smartly.   • Alex Reid zeroed in on Lockheed Martin (LMT) this week, tying policy rumors to a defined-risk trade. Instead of chasing headlines, he laid out the exact level that could unlock a quick shot.   • Mid-week, JD highlighted two setups — one on Best Buy and one on Nvidia — both designed to profit from mean reversion and volatility.   • Cracker Barrel’s logo drama lit up the tape — but Alex Reid says the bounce may not be what it seems. He laid out a defined-risk trade betting the pop will ultimately fizzle.   • “Buy high, sell higher.” Jack Carter shows how selling puts on strong names can pay you now and later.   • Even Buffett does it. Jack Carter reveals how the Oracle of Omaha uses put selling — and why he does too.   • Geof Smith sold puts on platinum ETF PPLT — a calm, cash-secured way to play metals demand and collect incomewhile he waits.   • On Thursday, JD highlighted Ulta Beauty, setting up what he called a “slam dunk” trade ahead of earnings, with a wide cushion and capped risk into expiration.   • After NVDA’s flat earnings reaction, Alex Reid spotlighted a rival chipmaker as the next chip trade — two two tight, defined-risk setups over “hope” trades.   • Leveraged ETFs are landmines. Jack Carter explains why products like YieldMax are traps — and shares the safer play. HOT TRADES LATEST WINNERS   • Chris Pulver had another powerhouse week: • Daily Profit Play went a perfect 9-for-9 on SPX trades. • Project Options Edge racked up 18 winners, including names like AAPL, HOOD, PLTR, DELL, PYPL, AMZN, and more. • Plus, one more win each in Pinch Point (NKE) and Waterfall Income (SPX).   • Geof Smith’s Gold Stream kept its streak alive with a string of winners — 16.92%, 19.50%, and 17.07% gains this week on GLD spreads.   • Geof Smith’s Profit Links struck again with a 37.77% pair win on VSAT/ASTS in just 2 days.   • Jeffry Turnmire crushed a Gold Rush bonus trade on GLD — in and out for a fast 50% return in a single day. THINGS LEFT UNREAD In Case You Missed It   • The S&P’s at record highs — but it’s standing alone. Geof Smith tells us what to look for to tell if this rally has real fuel.   • Jack Carter keeps it simple: buy quality stocks at 52-week highs, then step in on the first pullback for cleaner entries.   • Alex Reid went live with a bold move — buying shares and calls on a tiny robotics micro-cap, betting its fresh patent stack could spark big upside.   • Jack Carter lays out 3 exits for credit spreads — and explains why rolling losers is just adding risk to a broken trade.   • Mid-week, our Profit Panel pros said NVDA earnings would set the tone. And they traded it with two simple paths: momentum to new highs or post-print fade — both tradable with defined risk. The ONE number to watch Forget endless charts — this single signal could help you spot stocks before they rip higher. Save Your Seat Now!
