The Most Important 32 Days to Trade This Year

[Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins]( Maria’s note: Maria Bonaventura here, senior managing editor of Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins. Today, we’re continuing our series of guest essays by Nomi’s colleague and master trader Larry Benedict. Larry has been trading the markets for 35 years, and he’s found that there are only 32 days in the year that matter to traders. During these 32 days, there’s increased volatility in the markets… and greater potential to make money, quickly. For instance, since the bull market turned bear last January, Larry’s made 89 winning trades. And since COVID started, he’s picked 153 winners following his special tactic. What’s more, he’s going live tonight in an online event to explain all about his strategy… and how there are 32 key dates coming up this year. [To sign up with one click, go right here](. Here’s Larry… --------------------------------------------------------------- The Most Important 32 Days to Trade This Year By Larry Benedict, Editor, Trading With Larry Benedict [Larry Benedict] There are 32 days in the year that matter to traders. These are special days when it’s possible to get outsized returns on your money. That’s why I call these days “money shocks.” And they exist even in bear markets. In fact, I first noticed this pattern during extreme conditions… right as the 2008 great financial crisis was playing out. Many of us remember how it went… The housing bubble collapsed, and the financial sector was left holding the bag. That led to the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers… along with more than 500 other banks. The government stepped in to prop up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and “bail out” the big banks. Put simply, it was a mess… And over 16 months, the markets fell roughly 50%. But if you knew where to look, there were certain days when savvy traders could make serious money. I was still working at my hedge fund, Banyan Capital, during that period. On one of these days, my firm made $4.2 million net profit. On another, we generated $6.1 million. On a third occasion, it was over $8 million. Now, to achieve these returns, we were handling more money than the average trader has. But there’s nothing to stop regular people from taking advantage of these opportunities, too… In fact, I’ve made over 89 winning trades on these “money shock” days in my current trading advisories… just since January 2022. So today, I’d like to explain how… Recommended Link [Flip Today’s Crazy Market to Your Gain]( [image]( 2022 was a bloodbath for the stock market. But those following Market Wizard Larry Benedict saw gains like: - 31% in 24 hours - 106% in three days - 79% in three days - 61% in three days - 120% in 11 days - And more… And these gains have come whether stocks go up or down!

And unless you have a particular reason you need to know a stat, few of us have reason to dig into the often-clunky websites where they’re kept. But for traders, it would be a huge mistake to ignore certain key numbers. In fact, the 32 days I mentioned earlier refer to times when the government releases valuable pieces of information… like inflation data or interest rate changes. Because those reports send market action up by as much as 20x. [Featured: “What I’ve learned is going to shock most people...” – Nomi Prins]( Volume and volatility are critical components of trading. Increased volume and volatility mean greater potential to make more money quickly. And during these “shocks,” the federal government makes it even easier to generate incredible returns. This is where I thrive. In these kinds of moments, everyone thinks they have a genius prediction for where they expect the economy to go. So more people place their bets – often with undue risk – and send prices flying up and down. Now, a lot of those same people lose money. But when you know how to play it, you can make solid wins. We had an example just last month… Recommended Link [Forget tech, crypto, bonds, and treasuries – buy these instead]( [image]( All you have to do is own a small handful of these unique stocks… And you could retire wealthier than you would by trading, chasing the latest “hot” stock, or doing anything your broker tells you. [Click here for the name and ticker of the #1 stock.]( -- Playing the FOMC Announcement On January 27, we entered a trade leading into a “money shock” event – the upcoming FOMC announcement was just days away. In short, the market was waiting on tenterhooks to see how much the Fed was going to raise rates. So we made a bet on the iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT). Bond yields were struggling to rise and had rejected the 3.7% level five times in a month. But we saw the potential for a continued short-term TLT rally and knew that the Fed would only raise by 25 basis points (bps)… less than many were anticipating. That would give us another leg down in Treasurys and set up a great profit-taking opportunity… and that’s exactly what happened. Rising Fed rates generally lift Treasury rates – unless it's priced in what the Fed will do or they raise less than expected. So for TLT to rally, we wanted to see the Fed’s interest rates come in lower than expected. (It’s a little counterintuitive, but remember, when an existing bond has a lower coupon than current rates, investors may find it less appealing, and its market price drops.) [Featured: Make 2023 all about investing for your retirement]( At the time, many still feared that the Fed would raise rates by another 50 bps. But since they increased by just 25 basis points, that “lower” rate sent our TLT position well into the green. We sold on February 1 right after the Fed’s announcement for a quick 30% gain. But ultimately, it didn’t really matter whether the Fed raised rates a little or a lot… The announcement alone was the important thing. Because these kinds of events give the markets an electric shock… and stir up volatility that traders like us are more than happy to use. And while 30% might not sound like much, trades like these can start to snowball your account quickly. Not to mention, we reached that gain in less than a week. That’s the power that these money-shock days can give us.

About Congress and the PELOSI Act. I personally believe the best action would be to allow lawmakers to trade but treat them like company executives or a board of directors. They would need to publicly announce the trade and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission – specifically a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933. I would love to hear your thoughts. – Tony G. Then, readers William and Don had great thoughts about alternative forms of energy, and how to best utilize them… Wind and solar are not sustainable sources on a large scale, but they would be helpful if every home incorporated them. I lived on a sailboat for a while that had solar panels and a wind generator, and I was completely independent as far as power went. I also have a relative in Las Vegas whose house has solar, and their utility bill in the heat of the summer never gets above a hundred bucks. – William B. There continues to be a general misunderstanding of how to exploit solar energy and the distinction between energy and electricity. The historic pre-WWII solar technology was black copper tanks to heat water to do laundry, etc. in the afternoon. Very simple direct conversion and the use isn’t too exciting to invest in. Similarly, solar-integrated heating/cooling systems using air or fluid transfers remain largely ignored as a building development requirement. Nuclear power seems cheap when waste, insurance, and decommissioning are ignored in the accounting. Total costs of use and incidents are completely ignored. My uncle Ben Hood, the reactor engineer who predicted the Fukushima disaster as a “when not if” situation, agreed with me: wind offers the best and most sustainable potential. Rare earth toxic materials aren’t needed with wind. Storage but also intermittent industrial use can help load distribution. The push to generate wind from the ocean wind location is misguided. Fishery, recreational navigation, and corrosive location are needless and unknown and unaccounted costs in the ocean. The only rationale I see is to concentrate wealth by government lease to big players. There are plenty of wind locations on private property that make much more sense to me. I use a clothesline to get wind and solar use simultaneously. We tend to ignore timing and conservation to impact our energy needs. – Don M. Are you with Tony that lawmakers should still be allowed to trade, but under specific restrictions? Do you agree with William and Don about how wind and solar energy can be useful?
