Your Weekly Income Report
Last week’s results suffered from the social media spat between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, but we remained net positive with roughly $660 in cash.
Our closeouts included the final trade from our May round of Income Madness, where we easily exceeded our $1,500 goal. We exited 13 profitable trades in just over three weeks, booking nearly $2,150 in cash in the live account.
Looking back over the past 15 months, our Income Madness trades have brought in a whopping $18,000 in cash.
Market High: After the Holiday?
Stocks are up. Rate cut bets are back. And volatility? Still asleep. But with a short week ahead, geopolitical tensions rising, and no real follow-through in bearish trades, next week could set the tone for the rest of the summer. Here’s what to watch—and how to position.
The Melt-Up Is Real
Wall Street continues to float near record highs, with the S&P 500 hugging the 6000 level and tech names pushing relentlessly higher. But with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropping today and the Producer Price Index (PPI) set to drop Thursday morning, all eyes are on whether this inflation print keeps the “goldilocks” rally alive—or smacks it with a reality check.
Traders aren’t sitting on their hands. Short-vol setups are popping across the board, and the most aggressive names in the market—click below to get the full list of tickers and trades—are showing strong directional conviction in bull put spreads.
What happens Thursday morning could either extend the melt-up—or trigger the first real reversal in weeks.
Your Weekly Income Report
Last week was a big week in terms of closeouts. We exited 11 trades across our services, netting more than $5,600 in cash in the live account. Our biggest winner was the Airbnb (ABNB) long call trade from the Options Player Workshop, which earned $2,100 in just two days.
However, the trade we will look at more closely this week is one where the stock actually went against us, yet we still hit our profit target. This trade offers an important lesson on one of the option Greeks. And speaking of options Greeks, there’s a new one we need to discuss.
Seasonality Signals Say: Stay Ready
Stocks stepped back this week as traders waited for today’s big jobs report. The S&P 500 ended a four-day winning streak, weighed down by weakness in Tesla, fresh job cut headlines, and growing caution over tariffs. But beneath the surface, some familiar seasonal patterns are beginning to show up—especially in areas like biotech, long bonds, and gold. Are you ready for what’s coming up this summer?
Stocks Surge, Economy Sends Mixed Signals
Markets look unstoppable right now, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 pushing record highs and AI names like Nvidia fueling the fire. But don’t mistake momentum for stability. From cooling manufacturing data to quiet tremors in business spending and employment, the foundations of this rally are starting to shift. This week’s data could flip the script.
Your Weekly Income Report
We closed 13 winning trades across our services last week, netting nearly $2,000 in cash in the live account. This included four more Millionaire’s Trading Club positions, putting us nearly two-thirds of the way to our $2,500 income goal.
We also exited seven more trades from the latest round of Income Madness, bringing our total profit to $1,358 in just 11 days, with four trades still open.
The Calm Before the Storm: Hidden Opportunities in Plain Sight
While everyone’s debating whether the 740-point Dow surge earlier this week was real or relief, smart money is quietly positioning for three sectors that could explode now that the Labor Day holiday is behind us. The clues are hiding in plain sight: a 50% steel rally nobody’s talking about, Fed officials accidentally revealing their September timeline, and a rotation pattern that’s creating the biggest opportunity gap we’ve seen all year. The question isn’t whether the next big move is coming—it’s whether you’ll spot it before the crowd does.
Your Weekly Income Report
We closed nine profitable trades and one loser across our services last week, netting nearly $1,300 in cash in the live account. This included three more Millionaire’s Trading Club positions, putting us 40% of the way to our $2,500 income goal.
We also exited another Russell 2000 bear call spread in the 5K Challenge program, earning an 11.4% return in a mere 22 hours. This week, we’ll take a closer look at why we gravitate toward trading this index in our quest for short-term income generation.
Memorial Day Travel Is Soaring—But These Stocks Might Soar Even Higher
More than 45 million Americans are traveling this weekend, but not every travel stock is built to ride that wave. Some names have a habit of spiking after Memorial Day—others barely budge, or worse.
We crunched the data on 17 travel and leisure stocks (plus SPY and QQQ) to see which ones historically deliver gains in the 4 weeks after the holiday. The results might surprise you—especially if you’re betting on airlines or hotels.
