| Fed Chair Powell recently called the federal debt "unsustainable" during the last FOMC meeting — and with the U.S. now sitting near $39 trillion in debt and the dollar at a 4-year low, the inflation outlook is getting harder to ignore. For investors looking to offset rising costs, one options trading approach has been generating consistent weekly income by targeting a specific niche in the options market with a single trade on one ticker every Monday. The full breakdown covers how the strategy works and why the current macro environment may be creating an ideal setup for this type of income trade.  |

| | Hedge funds like AQR, Man Group, Citadel, and DE Shaw have long relied on a specific market phenomenon as a cornerstone of their portfolio strategies. According to research published in the Institutional Investment Journal, stocks driven by this phenomenon haven't posted a losing decade since 1887. Now a trading system built around this approach is identifying one high-conviction setup each morning before the market opens — giving everyday traders access to the same edge institutions have used for decades. Recent flagged trades have included names like NVDA, TSLA, GOOG, AEM, and TTWO.  |

Gold has surged over 150% in its recent run, and the macro setup looks familiar — a weakening dollar, rising safe-haven demand, and growing geopolitical tension. These are the same conditions that preceded major gold rallies in the 1970s, the early 2000s, and during COVID. One trader at ProsperityPub has identified what he believes is a specific catalyst that could push gold to new highs, along with an options-based approach to trading gold's price action that he says has delivered consistent results over the past year. The full breakdown covers both the catalyst thesis and the specific trade setup.  |
