Two-Tier Volatility Strategy
The S&P 500 just traded its entire monthly range in a single session. Top to bottom and back again. Blake Young flagged this as one of the largest single day ranges since November. That kind of volatility demands a different approach. Blake laid out a two-tier strategy in tonight's video. For longer holds, he's hunting…
The Cookie Recipe Explains Why You Fail
Do you like cookies? I do. I try not to eat them anymore as I need to watch my sugar intake, but I can easily state that they are my favorite. Compared to pies, cakes, puddings, mousses, or any other dessert, cookies are the best. Despite not eating cookies now, I have personally eaten enough…
Why I'm Fading Financials in 2026
Financials hit record highs in late 2025. Volume has declined for six straight months. One of those facts is a buy signal. The other is a warning. They can't both be right. Price making new highs on shrinking volume is one of the oldest divergence signals in technical analysis. It means fewer participants are driving…
Healthcare Stocks Breaking Out Now
Healthcare is outperforming the S&P 500. While the broader market barely touched its gap, the healthcare sector blew right through it and kept climbing. Blake Young spotted this divergence today. He found five dividend-paying stocks positioned for both income and breakout gains. The setup is straightforward. Market volatility is rising. Option spreads are widening. Market…
The Dollar Signal That Changes Everything for 2026
The dollar index traded a 14-point range in 2025. The average is 8 points. That's 66% wider than normal with higher highs and lower lows than the previous two years combined. This kind of expansion doesn't happen randomly. It signals a reset. A new trend forming. The dollar finished 2025 below the lows of 2023…
Why I'm Only Buying Stocks That Move Less Than the Market
The S&P 500 is stuck. Money is rotating inside equities but not flowing in. Bonds are selling off. Nobody wants to commit. This is not the time to chase high-flyers. I'm looking at one number before I buy anything right now: beta. Beta tells you how much a stock moves compared to the broad market.…
How to Stop Getting Whipsawed on Volatile Sessions
Friday was a mess. Triple witching. Three Fed speakers. A long weekend ahead. The kind of session that chews up futures traders and spits them out. Gold dropped 85 points in minutes. The Nasdaq whipped 20 points in both directions before most traders finished their coffee. Every breakout reversed. Every signal faked out. And yet…
Low-Beta Dividend Plays for 2026
The S&P 500 is stuck. Two weeks of 60 to 80 point swings that net out to basically nothing. Yet, Blake Young just identified four low-beta dividend stocks designed to deliver double-digit returns while the broader market figures out its next move. The VIX is falling back toward previous lows. Utilities led all sectors today.…
The Stagflation Signal You Need to See
Silver has doubled its value relative to gold in twelve months. That move has only happened twice in the last 45 years. Both times preceded major economic inflection points. In 1980, it marked the peak of stagflation before the Reagan era began. In 2011, it signaled the end of the post-crisis commodity boom before a…
Planning Your Path to Trading Success
Two weeks ago, we talked about review. Today, we talk about planning ahead. Review shows us where we've been. Planning shows us where we're going. You can review what you did right and wrong all day long. But without a plan, you'll repeat your mistakes and forget to repeat your wins. My son is working…
