| DAILY ISSUE In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live As earnings season unfolds, I want us all to keep one thing in mind… What companies report this earnings season isn’t as important as what they see coming next. Right now, smart investors are “reading the tea leaves,” so to speak. While short-term fear still sits at an all-time high, the markets are looking for any direction. Investors want to know how management teams plan to handle everything from potential downturns to continued tariff pressure from here. Their answers will reveal as much about the market’s present as its future. And they’ll help us find the best opportunities to thrive as volatility heats up. The good news? No matter what headlines hit the tape, all this earnings volatility plays right into our overall strategy. And our targeted earnings-based trades over the last few months are all the proof we need. Whether it’s FreePort McMoran (FCX) delivering triple-digit gains while most investors were stuck in losing positions… Or the triple-digit gainers we scored in Rayonier (RYAM) and Shopify (SHOP) during the last earnings season… All this volatility is setting up a whole series of winning trades for us. I’ve already shared three-earnings-based trades this week… And as we break into a new round of earnings from here, I’m watching a whole new set of positions that will help us benefit from every volatile swing of the stock market. In today’s Masters in Trading LIVE at 11 AM EST, I’ll break down our earnings strategy and highlight the top option trading opportunities I’m watching as the season heats up. 
 | Chart of the Day: VIX9D Spike Signals Market Caution | 
While some major indices might look relatively stable on the surface, the 9-day VIX (VIX9D) tells us a whole different story. Right now, it’s flashing warning signs at 34.93. That’s well above its normal range. What’s more, the term structure shows the VIX9D is nearly five points higher than the regular VIX (hovering around 30). In plain English? The market expects more turbulence in the coming days than in the coming months — a classic sign of immediate fear. Now we’re not at 2022 or 2020 levels of panic just yet. However, we are in elevated territory that warrants caution. So watch the 35 level closely. If the VIX9D stays above it, we can expect continued choppiness ahead.

Market volatility continues to hand us big gains… Jerry A just reported impressive triple-digit returns with a 262% gain on his Russell 2000 ETF puts and 175% on QQQ puts. Meanwhile, Kevin Hammer locked in substantial profits on his CENX position, capturing 115% and 150% gains after holding for just days. It's great to see our members scoring these significant victories even in these challenging market conditions. Keep up the great work!
