How to Trade the Trump Mandate

January 18, 2025 TradeSmith Daily

On Monday, Jan. 20, the first non-consecutive two-term president in 132 years will take office.

Suffice to say, it’s a historic moment. And the backdrop is just as consequential.

Trump was elected with a popular-vote win. Control of both houses of Congress. A conservative Supreme Court. And with it all: a stacked agenda and no intention to waste time.

That means the next 100 days could become some of the most volatile we’ve seen in years. And whether stocks wind up higher or lower from now until then – or right back where they started – master trader Jeff Clark has a plan to make a ton of money trading them.

This week, I sat down with Jeff to talk about what he expects from the second round of a Trump White House, including which sectors are set to thrive or dive.

Jeff doesn’t need to see a single headline to know which move to make. But he’ll let you know what he will be looking at in our interview:

 

This Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 1 p.m. Eastern, Jeff is releasing a free research presentation all about Trump’s first 100 days and how traders and investors alike should prepare for them.

Jeff does not mince words about what he thinks could happen to the market in the near term. He believes buy-and-forget investors might see some serious pain in the short term. But those who follow his work and understand his methods could find a fortune on the other side of the next few months.

Jeff believes that the strategy he’s about to deploy when Trump takes office could make this The Most Profitable 100 Days of Your Life – sign up to join him Wednesday to find out what he has in mind.

To your health and wealth,

Here is a pop quiz, or maybe a joke: Q. When is it bitterly disappointing to have an initial public offering (IPO) worth $1.7 trillion?   A. When you were really hoping for $2 trillion, and you see it as a national embarrassment to have to take less, and your sense of money was already so distorted you paid $450 million for a possibly fake Da Vinci painting that lives on one of your yachts. We speak of the initial

Why the Biggest AI Winners Are “Invisible”

August 24, 2024Michael Salvatore

Investors who stick with the “Magnificent 7” for their AI plays are looking in the wrong place. That’s the word from Eric Fry – global macro expert, serial 1,000% stock picker, and early tech trendspotter. It’s not hard to understand why the top brass of the stock market was the biggest winner of the AI mania. It was the “picks and shovels” period – when semiconductors were the only provable play… and any software play outside of the biggest tech

When the Fed Cuts, Buy These Stocks

July 29, 2025Lucas Downey

  One the biggest haggling points for markets in the last few years has been around interest rates.   Interest rates determine mortgage terms, stock behavior, and myriad other economic factors.   If you’ve tried to purchase a home recently, you know that payments have ballooned from the low-interest rate environment of years ago.  Interest rates also determine how stocks behave. Warren Buffett famously stated that interest rates are to asset prices what gravity is to the apple.  While major indices like
