“Belanger Trading Daily: Smart Trading Starts With Great Research.” Let me take you back to my days on the trading floor. It’s the last two weeks of the year, and the room is split. On one side, you’ve got traders sweating bullets—down big and chasing a miracle to salvage their year. These guys make wild bets, hoping for that one lucky break. On the other side, you’ve got the smart traders. They barely show up. Why? Because this is when mistakes happen. Nobody wants to wreck an entire year of work in the final stretch. This week, though, Jerome Powell dragged every trader—smart or reckless—back into the action. He just dropped a bombshell on the market, and the ripple effects hit everyone. What Did Powell Say?The Fed cut rates by another 25 basis points today, making it 100 points since September. But here’s where Powell threw the market into chaos:
That’s right. Powell said out loud what many suspected: the new normal for inflation could be 2.5% or even 3%. This sent the market into a tailspin. Stocks got slammed, and volatility (the VIX) surged 58%!
And just like that, the Wall Street fairy tale of a soft landing begins to crumble. The Legend Saw This ComingA few days ago, I told you about “50 Cent”—the mysterious trader known for bold bets on volatility. Last week, they wagered $5.1 million that the VIX would explode. Guess what? They were right. While the market scrambled to adjust to Powell’s bombshell, “50 Cent” was already in position to profit. Here’s what makes this so powerful: you don’t need to be a legend or have millions to take advantage of moves like this. You just need the right insights at the right time.
