Today marks 37 years since Black Monday, when the market dropped a shocking 22% in a single day. Ever since, traders have been haunted by the fear of the next big crash. And even now, I hear it all the time: “When’s the next crash coming?” But here’s the thing... it’s not. Markets Always Climb the Wall of WorryMarkets thrive on skepticism and reluctance, and that’s why they continue to climb. Successful traders don’t sit on the sidelines waiting for a crash. Instead, they dance with the market, always maintaining exposure even when fear is high. Why? Because underneath all the fear and doubt, there’s a positive undercurrent that keeps driving prices higher. The Positive Undercurrent Dominating the MarketRight now, 80% of the market is dominated by large institutions, and the vast majority of them are long. This institutional buying power creates that positive undercurrent, pushing prices higher even when sentiment is low. This is why I tell traders: stop waiting for a repeat of Black Monday. The market has adjusted after every crisis—whether it was Black Monday, the Savings and Loan crisis, the Dot-Com bubble, the financial meltdown, or COVID. The market is more resilient than ever, and its structure has evolved. The institutional dominance keeps prices moving higher, and waiting for a massive crash means you’re going to miss the opportunities that are right in front of you. The Advantage for Individual TradersWhile institutions dominate, they often overlook or ignore smaller opportunities that are perfect for individual traders. Tools like options allow individual traders to reduce risk, enhance returns, and capitalize on opportunities that the big players don’t even touch. For example, just last Thursday, I published a trade alert on Nvidia, which has already seen a 694% return YTD. In that alert, I showed exactly how to capture short-term upside, mitigate risk, and maintain flexibility. Nvidia closed up 4.14% to a new all-time high, and the trade I provided is already up 25%. You can check out that alert here.
