My inflation escape hatch is open

Here’s the gameplan
 
   
     
Just 5 years ago, around the time COVID shut down the economy, the average mortgage payment was $1,627.

Now it’s nearly double that.

 
 
And the hard truth is this may only be the beginning.

I believe prices could move even higher in the coming months.

That’s why I wanted to get this message to you as soon as possible.

I’ve started a mission to show regular folks how they can take a shot at offsetting the rising cost of living…

By targeting weekly income with one trade on one ticker every Monday.

So far, our research shows a 94% win rate.

That’s like winning 9 out of every 10 trades.

The core of this approach lies in exploiting a unique niche in the options market.

Rather than speculating…

We use this part of the options market to improve the odds of going after a payout. 

Based on research, you could have aimed for payouts like…

 
 
Sure, there would have been smaller wins, and some trades didn’t work out and I won’t make reckless guarantees when it comes to trading….

But if you want to see how this special weekly trade works and how to position for the next opportunity…

You can get the details here.


Talk soon,

Chris Pulver

We develop tools and strategies to the best of our ability, but no one can guarantee the future. There is always a risk of loss when trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results. The trades expressed are from an 11-year backtest on 543 trades. The result was a 97.1% win rate, an average return of 17% (winners and losers), and an average hold time of 11 days. Every “Weekly Windfall” targets roughly $1,000 in income based on $5,000 in risk, and every example is based on that same risk unless otherwise stated (Although you can get started with just a couple of hundred bucks). From 9/30/24 - 2/27/26 on 128 live trades, the win rate is 94%, 16% average return (winners and losers) with an average hold time of 12 days.

War dollar

Investors flee to safety.
View in browser
Bloomberg

A morning selloff in stocks moderated in the afternoon and a surge in Treasury yields eased as the war in Iran continued to spur wild moves across asset classes. An announcement from the Trump administration that the US military will help secure shipping lanes may have helped pare what had been a 9% surge in oil.

Following an earlier 2.5% plunge in the S&P 500, the index recovered to being down less than 1%. "For now, markets are trading headline to headline," said Fawad Razaqzada at Forex.com. "Much will depend on whether tensions stabilize—or whether this proves to be the start of a more prolonged disruption to global supply."

The US-Israeli war in Iran continues to disrupt shipments and push up fuel costs. Soaring prices for diesel—used in freight, power and heating—will add to the cost of transportation, a key component of inflation.

The widening conflict also has made one thing clear: At a time when investors are rushing to safety, the dollar remains the premier asset of choice. As stocks swoon, and even gold and Treasuries tumble, the dollar's rise stands out. Since the US and Israel first attacked Iran on Saturday, the US currency has staged its biggest two-day rally in nearly a year. Jordan Parker Erb

What You Need to Know Today

Israeli forces seized new positions in south Lebanon for the first time since a 2024 truce, as their attacks on Hezbollah intensified in parallel with its war with Iran.

On the fourth day of the US-Israeli aerial barrage against the Islamic Republic, Israel continued its move against the militant group backed by Iran. Hezbollah on Monday launched a half-dozen rockets across the border into Israel, triggering heavy retaliatory strikes by air and sea in which dozens of Lebanese have been killed.

Israel Attacks Clerical Body Meant to Choose Iran's Next Leader
The Assembly of Experts is a Shia clerical body with 88 members. It is expected to soon choose a leader after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran since 1989, was killed in Israeli and US strikes on Saturday.

As fighting continues, airlines around the globe are suspending more flights to destinations across the Middle East. The disruptions since the US and Israeli attacks and Iran's subsequent retaliatory strike are spreading across the region, leading to more than 12,300 flights being canceled, including at major transfer hubs such as Dubai and Doha, according to Flightradar24. Tens of thousands of passengers are stranded.

The US Has to Reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Soon as Possible
Javier Blas writes that America winning its third Gulf war will depend a lot on whether the Pentagon can make the waterway safe for shipping.

Apollo Chief Executive Officer Marc Rowan warned that a shakeout is coming for private credit firms as the industry faces a wave of concerns about rising defaults on loans to software companies.

For weeks, private credit executives have faced questions from investors over whether the $1.8 trillion industry can withstand sustained pressure if the software sector is upended by artificial intelligence in the coming years. Rowan's comments, made at Bloomberg Invest in New York on Tuesday, came as business development companies have been hit by redemptions in recent weeks amid those broader investor concerns.

As investors' fears have mounted, Apollo's shares have slumped 30% so far this year, far outpacing the 2% decline of the broader S&P 500 Index.

Meanwhile, Blackstone President Jon Gray—whose company's flagship private credit fund was hit by record redemptions—called concerns in the market a "ton of noise" as Blackstone shares fell to the lowest level since November 2023.

The Blackstone Private Credit Fund, among the largest evergreen funds for the private debt space globally, on Monday disclosed it would allow investors to redeem a record 7.9% of shares.

Bonds Are Still Safe—If You Know How to Pick Them

Apple gave the Air the M5 processor and the MacBook Pro the first M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro look identical to their predecessors, but add significantly faster processors, improved storage configurations and better graphics. But oh, those pricetags.
