Managing Editor\u2019s Note: <\/strong>Today, we\u2019re bringing you an essay from Luke Lango\u2026<\/p>\n

He says a flood of cash \u2013 roughly $7 trillion<\/strong> \u2013 is poised to rush back into U.S. stocks. One ultra-rare signal says the surge starts now, and a second, even bigger catalyst on May 7<\/strong> could change the entire market and create a summer \u201cpanic\u201d like we\u2019ve not seen since 1997.<\/p>\n

Look no further than today\u2019s market dynamics for proof of the coming storm\u2026<\/p>\n

Trade-war headlines are whipping the market back and forth. Fear of tech slowdowns are freezing would-be buyers. Record cash piles are sitting idle while volatility rattles Wall Street. Most investors feel trapped, wondering whether the next big move is another crash.<\/p>\n

That may sound scary\u2026 but Luke says what we\u2019re seeing are the fingerprints of a bottom, not a collapse.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s issue, Luke will unpack some of those developments\u2026. including the fact that his favorite technical indicator triggered last Thursday.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s also identified seven specific ways to profit from this Summer Panic. And he\u2019ll tell you more about it on May 1, during his Summer Panic Summit<\/em><\/strong>. <\/em><\/strong>So make sure you reserve your spot automatically right here.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Biggest Stock Market Shift Since 1997: Here\u2019s What\u2019s Coming<\/h2>\n

BY LUKE LANGO, EDITOR, EARLY STAGE INVESTOR<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why the market took off last week\u2026 First, the fundamentals are turning green.<\/p>\n

Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL)<\/strong> reported strong quarterly earnings Thursday night. Revenues grew steadily in both advertising and cloud \u2014 two segments that investors feared would show signs of strain amid the trade war drama. But no big slowdown showed up.<\/p>\n

Alphabet\u2019s results poured cold water on the tech slowdown fears that have weighed on markets for weeks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more positive signs are emerging on the trade front.<\/p>\n

Reports broke on Friday that China is considering exemptions for certain U.S. imports from its 125% retaliatory tariff. That comes just days after the U.S. issued its own exemptions from its 145% tariff on Chinese goods.<\/p>\n

One side softens. Then the other. That\u2019s how deals get made.<\/p>\n

Stocks rallied. The dollar rallied. Bonds rallied. The \u201cSell America\u201d panic trade is turning into a \u201cBuy America\u201d rally.<\/p>\n

The stage is now set for trade deals over the next few months. Plus we\u2019re seeing strong earnings and stabilizing inflation.<\/p>\n

All of this makes the May 7 catalyst I\u2019m expecting even more likely.<\/p>\n

For technical traders, the story is just as bullish\u2026<\/p>\n

Ultra-Rare Indicator Triggered<\/h2>\n

On Thursday, the Zweig Breadth Thrust bullish signal officially triggered.<\/p>\n

A ZBT signal is triggered during very strong price momentum\u2026 when the stock market moves from an oversold to an overbought situation in 10 or fewer trading days.<\/p>\n

The ZBT is an ultra-rare, ultra-bullish indicator that\u2019s only flashed 18 times since World War II. In every single instance, stocks were higher a year later \u2014 with average gains of 25%.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not noise. That\u2019s a signal.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 just last week notched three straight days of gains over 1.5%. That\u2019s another rare signal. Since 1950, every time that\u2019s happened, stocks have been higher a year later \u2014 every single time \u2014 with average gains of 10%.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t see this kind of price action in the middle of a collapse. You see it when a collapse is ending.<\/p>\n

We think stocks have bottomed \u2014 and we\u2019re very bullish heading into the summer.<\/p>\n

These sorts of catalysts are often the most important thing in investing.<\/p>\n

Regional banks and biotechs can trade sideways for years\u2026 and then surge 100% on a takeover offer. Falling stocks tend to continue downward until a good news catalyst stems the tide.<\/p>\n

And now, I\u2019ve identified a new catalyst that I believe will change the entire market.<\/p>\n

Forget the Mag 7\u2026 Meet the MAGA 7<\/h2>\n

What happens when you mix the most transformational technological megatrend of our lives (AI) with arguably the most ambitious U.S. president we\u2019ve ever seen (Trump)?<\/p>\n

You could ignite a $7 trillion Summer Panic in the markets\u2026 the sort of surge that we haven\u2019t seen since the 1997 internet boom.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because investors are sitting on a record $7 trillion in cash, waiting for the opportunity to jump in. Private equity alone is sitting on at least $2.62 trillion, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.<\/p>\n

That means we could see an enormous return of this cash to the stock market this summer.<\/p>\n

Because here\u2019s the truth: What we\u2019ve seen in 2025 isn\u2019t the stock market\u2019s first \u201ccrash\u201d in recent years.<\/p>\n

The 2010 Flash Crash. The 2011 U.S. debt ceiling downgrade. The 2015 yuan devaluation. The 2018 Fed hike panic. The 2020 Covid crash. The 2022 inflation meltdown.<\/p>\n

All of them were buying opportunities for those who knew where to look.<\/p>\n

It was during many of the stock market crashes in the last decade that I nailed the rise of the Magnificent 7 stocks.<\/p>\n

Amid the commodity crisis of the mid-2010s, I picked out Meta Platforms Inc. (META), Apple Inc. (AAPL), Amazon Inc. (AMZN), <\/strong>and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)<\/strong> as long-term winners. All four have recorded max gains of somewhere between 800% and 1,000% since I picked them.<\/p>\n

Then, in February 2018, the stock market found itself in one of its fastest 10% corrections ever. On the other side of that plunge, I pinpointed Google as a long-term winner. It has soared nearly 300% since then.<\/p>\n

And in the summer of 2019, the stock market found itself in another small sell-off. That\u2019s when I pinpointed Tesla Inc. (TSLA)<\/strong> and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA)<\/strong> as great stocks. Since then, Tesla has recorded a max gain of more than 3,700%, while Nvidia has shot up as much as 4,000%.<\/p>\n

In other words, I called the Magnificent 7 before they were the Mag 7, and I did so during periods of elevated market volatility.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t say this to brag. Rather, I say this to submit to you a truth that people often forget: Volatility creates opportunity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every sell-off feels scary in the moment. But in hindsight, it always looks like a gift.<\/p>\n

This time will be no different.<\/p>\n

Beneath the surface of the market chaos, the next great tech rally is forming.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not forming in the Mag 7 stocks. Those stocks are yesterday\u2019s trade \u2013 not tomorrow\u2019s big breakout.<\/p>\n

In this next wave, the biggest winners won\u2019t be what I\u2019m calling the MAGA 7<\/strong>. I\u2019m talking \u201cMake AI Great in America\u201d<\/strong> stocks.<\/p>\n

AI is already very good in America. But in the next phase of the AI boom, it will become great. We will Make AI Great in America (MAGA) over the next few years.<\/p>\n

My MAGA 7 stocks are seven smaller AI companies \u2014 several of which you\u2019ve likely never heard of \u2014 that are about to ride a wave of federal funding, corporate spending, and reshoring urgency into the spotlight.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re building the tools. Laying the fiber. Supplying the chips. Automating the factories. And powering the intelligence behind America\u2019s next great tech renaissance.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m laying it all out at on Thursday, May 1, at 7 p.m. Eastern during my next free broadcast, The Summer Panic Summit<\/em><\/strong> (sign up automatically right here<\/a><\/strong>)\u2026<\/p>\n

The May 7 shock\u2026 the $7 trillion panic. the seven little-known AI stocks that I believe will emerge as massive winners thanks to AI acceleration when the smoke clears.<\/p>\n

Remember: Volatility creates opportunity. It always has. It always will.<\/p>\n

Go here to immediately save your seat for Thursday\u2019s free broadcast event.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

See you there.<\/p>\n

Good investing,<\/p>\n
