Today, we’re sharing an interview between me and TradeSmith Daily editor Mike Salvatore. Because the 2026 stock market is leaving most buy-and-hold investors stuck in a confusing nightmare…But it’s my ideal trading environment.
When AI panic was crushing software stocks earlier this year, I instructed my subscribers to buy call options on the iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF (IGV). That turned that into a 140% gain in two weeks.
When Bitcoin quietly fell off the radar while everyone obsessed over semiconductors, we closed a 63% gain on ProShares Bitcoin ETF (BITO) for my Delta Report subscribers.
And that’s just so far this year. Over the past 12 months, my subscribers have booked 14 wins in 19 trades, averaging 70% per winner.
That track record is the foundation for the boldest challenge of my career – and I’m laying it all out in my 12 Trades to $1 Million Challenge.
So make sure you check out our interview below, and then join me on Thursday, May 14 at 10 a.m. ET for the challenge.
Because in markets like this, I believe a small stake rolled from one well-timed options trade to the next has the potential to compound into something life changing.
I have the win streaks to prove it’s happened before and can happen again.
And I believe current conditions – the volatility and the AI disruption still rippling through the market – make right now the most favorable setup in four decades. So make sure you join me tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET for the challenge.
Best regards and good trading,
