Your Weekly Income Report: A Stellar Start to July!
Are you ready to see how a disciplined trading approach can deliver impressive returns, even in a dynamic market? This past week, our members saw over $4,100 in net income and a remarkable 13.6% return on capital!
John Hutchinson and Jeff Wood shared an exciting update today, detailing a fantastic week for our trading programs. We’re seeing a “caterpillar effect” – periods of numerous trade closeouts followed by brief lulls, often after heavy data weeks. This pattern allows the market to provide clear exit opportunities, and we capitalized on it beautifully last week!
Income Masters: Powering Your Portfolio with Strategic Wins
Our Income Masters program had an exceptional week, contributing significantly to our overall success. Here’s a breakdown:
- 7 trades closed, boasting $3,090 in income.
- An outstanding 15.9% return on capital for the week.
- Year-to-date net income for Income Masters now stands at an incredible $22,031.80!
One standout win was a longer-term recovery trade in Domino’s Pizza (DPZ), which dated back to the April market collapse. This expertly managed position, transitioning from an initial debit to a credit, then to a positive close, netted over $400 in cash.Another significant contributor was a position in Southern Company (SO) from our perpetual income portfolio, which closed for a whopping $1,700 profit! This impressive gain came from a combination of strategic calls, puts, and stock movement, culminating in shares being called away above our target. We’ve been successfully trading Southern Company for years, and its consistent performance is a testament to our approach.
Millionaires Trading Club: Daily Action, Accelerated Profits
Last week marked the exciting launch of our daily trading program for Millionaires Trading Club members, with live sessions every Monday through Friday at 11 AM ET. The results from its inaugural week are nothing short of phenomenal:
Our total income for Millionaires Trading Club year-to-date has reached $7,503.
5 trades closed, generating $1,095 in net income.
A strong 9.6% return on capital on just over $11,000 in deployed capital.
4 of the 5 trades were opened and closed within 1-2 days, demonstrating rapid capital turnover and quick profits!
This incredible start is right within Dave Durham’s weekly income goal of $1,000 to $1,500, proving the effectiveness of our new daily session format.
Market Insights: Navigating Earnings and Economic Shifts
Jeff Wood provided critical market insights, emphasizing the importance of earnings season kicking off this week. While Delta Airlines’ strong earnings buoyed the airline sector, we’re keenly watching for what CEOs and CFOs say about the impact of tariffs and consumer spending.
Key economic indicators on the horizon include:
- CPI (Tuesday): A crucial report with a forecast of 2.6%, moving in the “wrong direction” and potentially impacting September rate cut expectations.
- Retail Sales: A proxy for consumer health, any negative surprises here are not currently priced into the market.
- Continuing Unemployment Claims: Trending towards the 2 million mark, signaling potential “no-hire” challenges despite a lower overall unemployment rate.
We also looked at seasonal trends, with July generally being a stronger month for the S&P 500, largely due to earnings. However, the data suggests a potential softening towards the end of July, with defensive sectors like Consumer Staples, Financials, Utilities, and Real Estate potentially outperforming.
Jeff even shared some potential trade ideas for the coming weeks based on these seasonal trends, highlighting opportunities in:
- Nucor (NUE)
- Capital One Financial (COF)
- Procter & Gamble (PG)
- Mastercard (MA)
These opportunities, often in the form of debit spreads, present attractive risk-to-reward ratios for those looking to capitalize on forecasted market movements.
