What Moody’s Downgrade Really Means (And What the Market Isn’t Telling You)

Hey Folks,

Brandon Chapman here, and if you're watching the markets like I am, you know today was anything but boring.

Moody's downgraded U.S. debt late on Friday, and the market's response? Well, let's just say it wasn't the panic people were bracing for.

But don't let today's "shrug" fool you. Beneath the surface, there's a lot more happening. The S&P 500 might seem steady, but the moves in bonds, gold, and even utilities are telling a different story.

I've got a video for you that breaks it all down—what Moody's downgrade really means, why the market's muted reaction might be misleading, and most importantly, how to position yourself for the weeks ahead.

Still on the fence? Here's just a taste of what we'll cover:

Why bonds rallied despite the "bad news": What 5,000 call contracts at the 97 strike in IEF tell us about what's coming.
The quiet defensive rotation no one's talking about: Utilities, staples, and gold—what they're signaling about the next big market move.
Is the S&P's 23% rally too good to be true? A breakdown of why stacking another 20% gain on top of this is highly improbable.
Gold's quiet comeback: Why it outperformed the S&P by 1.3% today and what it could mean for the summer ahead.
The $9 trillion question: What happens when the federal government has to roll over $9 trillion in short-term debt—and why this could be the elephant in the room for 2025.

Listen, this isn't your typical "sell in May and go away" story. The market is shifting under our feet, and if you're not paying attention, you could miss the signals.

Don't wait until the market makes up its mind. Be prepared.
