The Strategy Wall Street Kept From You
Don Kaufman here. For 25 years, this strategy was locked behind million-dollar trading accounts. Three years ago, that changed. Most traders still have no idea. Let me tell you something about the trading world that nobody talks about: there are two different games being played. The retail game and the professional game. And until recently,…
Why I Celebrate When Markets Crash
Don Kaufman here. While everyone else was losing their minds during the April 2025 crash, I was placing my biggest trade of the year. Not because I'm reckless - because I know something most traders don't: chaos is where the real money gets made. Let me be clear about something: I haven't taken one losing…
My OpenAI Clock Theory
Don Kaufman here. You know what nobody's talking about with this morning's $38 billion Amazon-OpenAI deal? It's not about the deal itself - it's about the desperation behind it. Sam Altman is writing checks his company can't afford, and he's running out of time to find the money. That money has to come from one…
All-Time Highs With the Worst Internals Ever Recorded
Don Kaufman here. I’m me more nervous than I've been all year and it has nothing to do with Halloween. Yeah, I just closed Microsoft for 297% and Google for 203% this week. Hell of a Halloween treat, right? But here's the thing that's keeping me up at night... While the S&P was hitting all-time…
Most Market Sectors Are Getting Smoked!
The S&P 500 rallied 60 points this week. The expected move for next week is still 105 points. That combination should terrify you.

Here's what most people…
I OWN You, MSFT
Don Kaufman here. I need to tell you about this Microsoft butterfly that just closed for 297%. Earlier this week I put on the trade at 63 cents. This morning, it was up over 100%. You know what everyone was saying? "Take the money and run, Don. Lock in your gains." Screw that. You want…

How I Just Turned 64 Cents Into 203% Profits Overnight
Don Kaufman here. Yesterday at 3 PM, I placed a single options trade on Google earnings. Cost: 64 cents per contract. This morning: 203% profits.

The Fed Cut Rates. Bonds Collapsed Instead
Jerome Powell just cut rates by 25 basis points. The bond market responded by selling off hard. That is not supposed to happen. The 10-year Treasury spiked from just under 4% to significantly higher levels today. Bond prices fell when they should have rallied on easier monetary policy. This move signals something far more dangerous…
3 Trades I Slapped On Today
Don Kaufman here. This morning on Schwab's Big 3 Show, I told you volatility was coming. Powell just proved me right. "Not a foregone conclusion. Far from it," he said about December rate cuts. The Dow reversed 200 points in minutes. Markets went from euphoria to panic in real time. But I saw this setup…
