Trump’s Inauguration Sparks a Market Rally

Investors responded decisively to President Donald Trump’s inauguration, propelling U.S. markets higher as optimism surged around potential economic reforms.

The first round of Income Madness of 2025 got off to a stellar start. We put on 14 trades, 10 of which we closed before the week was out.
All of those trades were winners, and we blew past our $1,750 cash target to book $2,100 in profits in just four days.
Let’s take a closer look at those results.
Banks Beat Expectations—But Is a Recession Lurking Around the Corner?

The first major economic reports of 2025 have landed, shedding light on inflation trends and the performance of Wall Street’s biggest players. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for December 2024 and earnings from top banks provide a view of where the U.S. economy might be headed. Here’s what you need to know.
Earnings Season and the CPI’s Impact on Stocks

This week has already brought in a fair share of ups and downs. The volatility index had a -17% range between Monday and Tuesday, the S&P 500 had a near 1% intraday reversal on Monday, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is trying to reclaim its 10-day moving average after dropping over -1.4% last Friday. Are the markets heading for new highs or bracing for turbulence? Let’s unpack the key drivers and set the stage for what’s ahead.

We continued our winning streak last week, closing four profitable trades for a combined $916 in cash despite the broader market sell-off.
As the major indices plummeted on Friday, one of the stocks we were trading surged more than 25% on news of an acquisition that could make it the country’s largest clean energy provider.
Let’s take a closer look.
Is The Market Ready To Break?

The latest job data will likely influence the Federal Reserve’s approach to interest rates in the months ahead. Alongside this, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, set for release shortly thereafter, will play a crucial role in shaping the economic landscape, possibly marking a decisive moment in the Fed’s fight against inflation.
Is the Economy Too Strong?

With a shortened trading week following the funeral of President Jimmy Carter, the market has had less time to digest economic reports, creating wild swings as bulls and bears grapple over what’s next. The S&P 500 enjoyed a two-day rally before bond yields surged, dragging stocks down. What did the data show, and what might it mean moving forward?

We closed 13 winning trades last week across all our services, booking nearly $5,150 in cash in the live account despite the holiday-shortened week.
This included four credit spreads from the Income Masters program that allowed members to pocket $1,150 in cash in the first two trading days of the year. But last week’s standout trade resulted in a profit bigger than all our other winning options trades combined.
Let’s take a closer look at it.
A Not-So-Happy New Year

The Santa Clause Rally already happened in November as December put up the second-to-worst month of S&P 500 returns for the entire year. Even Thursday’s return to trading started strong only to suffer from a mid-day reversal and now investors are left trying to figure out if the bull run can continue. What sectors could help this sluggish bull market kick into high gear in the new year?

This week, we take a closer look at that final trade.
