More Articles | Free Reports | Premium Services By Charles Sizemore, Chief Investment Strategist, The Freeport Society Volatility has been off the charts since "Liberation Day." We've seen stocks gap down 5% in a single day… and surge 10% the next. We haven't seen swings this dramatic since the COVID crash in 2020. While most investors were reaching for the Scotch, master trader Jonathan Rose was helping Freeport Alpha readers cash in a 140% gain in just 24 days. Jonathan got his start on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, where he traded Nasdaq futures. He also served as a market maker at the Chicago Board Options Exchange – the world's largest options exchange. And he's been a trusted advisor here at the Freeport Society. Two of the three highest-returning trades at our Freeport Alpha advisory were ideas Jonathan shared with us. One returned 131% in just over a week. The other returned 100% in four weeks. | Recommended Link | | | | A top tech expert recently warned: “there’s perhaps a few hundred people in the world who realize what’s about to hit us.” Eric Fry is one of them.

But traders often make their biggest profits when volatility is high – like it is right now. That's why I've been urging you to tilt your portfolio toward trading. If you're holding long-term stock positions in your 401(k) or brokerage account, you're effectively "short volatility." When uncertainty spikes, your wealth takes a hit. But traders can be "long volatility." They profit when uncertainty rises. Think of it like two people on a beach. One is a surfer. The other is building a sandcastle. The sandcastle builder wants calm, sunny weather. Flat tides. Predictability. The surfer, on the other hand, is hoping the waves will rise. He scans the horizon for swells. Then he grabs his board and paddles out. Traders are like surfers. They profit from big moves, sharp reversals, and sudden dislocations. They seek out volatility – and position themselves to profit from it. Investors, by contrast, are like sandcastle builders. They want time and stability. To them, volatility is a threat not an opportunity. Right now, you want to be the surfer not the sandcastle builder. That means learning how to use trading strategies to turn volatility into profits. That's why, for today's Navigator, I caught up with Jonathan over Zoom. We talked about the strategy he's using to profit from today's wild market swings… and where he sees the next triple-digit trading gain coming from. To watch our conversation, click the image below.  I love talking to Jonathan. Not only does he have nearly 30 years' experience as a professional trader, he's a great mentor. In fact, he's coached more than 20,000 novice traders at Masters in Trading. Jonathan also hosts Masters in Trading: Live. At 11 a.m. ET each day the markets are open, he gets on camera… goes over his favorite trade setups… and shows you the strategies he uses to profit from them.
