Buried in a 1,480-page, $740 billion bill... this BOMBSHELL will catch most Americans off guard. Renowned investment analyst David Fessler has gone over this piece of legislation with a fine-tooth comb. He was SHOCKED by how deep this goes.

[Click here to claim this profit power for yourself.]( - Kaitlyn Hopkins, Assistant Managing Editor Get the Most From Your Investments by Trading Smarter [Matthew Carr | Chief Trends Strategist | The Oxford Club]( [Matthew Carr]( A couple of decades ago, I uncovered [a strategy that completely changed my life](. It changed the way I looked at the markets. And it changed the way I thought about and analyzed stocks. It was an eye-opening moment that improved my returns and removed all the guesswork from my investing. This strategy is so powerful that, to this day, every company I recommend to subscribers, I filter through its lens. And I tell every investor who asks me what the best trading or investing strategy is to do the same. A Strategy for All Seasons Seasonal trading has long been brushed aside as random or a market anomaly. Mainstream financial talking heads and columnists love to try to poke holes in seasonal strategies and ideas. They do this despite the decades and decades of research and real-world work by guys like Yale Hirsch, Jeffrey Hirsch, Norman Fosback, Dick Stoken, Peter Eliades, Jay Kaeppel, me and others. Personally, I feel as though we've collectively more than proven that our various approaches are viable, time and time again. But it seems to never be enough. As Kaeppel wrote, "If 100-plus years of strong performance are not enough to convince you that a given method or trend is viable, then you are awfully tough to please." Unfortunately, a lot of investors are exactly like that. Seasonal and trend traders have long been the Rodney Dangerfields of the investing world. ("We don't get no respect.") Even though we often outperform the market by a wide margin. But the reality is that our economy thrives on consumer spending. And what consumers want shifts throughout the year. Winter coats are on sale right now, while bikinis are selling at a premium. That's not a coincidence or a random occurrence. It's a fact of nature. And [using such facts to our advantage]( can help us score the biggest gains. The Strategies You Love to Hate Over the years, I've written that every industry has a season. Well, there are countless articles on the most famous - though most widely misunderstood - seasonal trading strategy: "Sell in May and go away." On the surface, it seems simple enough. And it rhymes - which means it must have some sort of merit, right? In fact, the whole adage is, "Sell in May and go away. Don't come back till Labor Day." I mean, that's poetry. But here's the important question... Sell what? Everything? Just dump your entire portfolio and sit in cash every May? That seems like an exceptionally stupid idea that would be awfully damaging to your financial future. And any person who blindly promotes the "sell in May" strategy is doing more harm than good. Now, the reality is that the "sell in May" strategy applies to only a handful of sectors... not the entire universe of stocks and mutual funds. But its catchiness turned it into an earworm that's been mindlessly parroted for decades. Follow the Money The success of seasonal trading is built on optimizing time and effort. That's why my strategy and investing philosophy is built on a basic premise: Shares of most companies move asymmetrically. That means, within a given year, there are blocks of months when shares will perform well - sometimes even exceptionally well - and there are other blocks of months when they won't. It's not random. And it's not an anomaly. Because it's usually the same months that are good for certain companies each and every year. And more often than not, that relates back to the company's underlying business, revenue and earnings. Most businesses are cyclical or seasonal. And in seasonal trading, you want to focus on their booming quarters and forget the rest. That's how we can consistently score big while limiting our downside risk. And it's why [my seasonal options trading strategy]( can produce much higher returns than any other strategy. I've been an avid disciple of seasonal trading for nearly my entire career. It's the approach I credit for all the portfolio awards I've received and all the records I've set. I believe every investor who applies a seasonal approach to their trading will improve their returns and simply become a better trader.
