Hey, Ross here:

The headlines are all about Iran right now. It was the biggest news over the weekend.

And yet, I barely mentioned it in my newsletter yesterday.

This wasn’t an oversight – it was deliberate.

Today’s chart explains why.

								<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is pretty self-explanatory.</span></p>

On the leftmost column, it lists all the major geopolitical events that have happened dating back to 1940…

Followed by how the S&P 500 has performed 1–12 months later on the right.

As you can see, the majority scenario after these events is this –short-term dip, long-term gain.

Of course, there are exceptions where stocks were still markedly lower one year later, such as during WWII and the Global Financial Crisis.

And if you look carefully, you can see that in certain instances where stocks were still one year later…

It was because of a bear market that was precipitated by other non-geopolitical events (such as the 2022 bear market or the 2000 Dot-Com Crash).

So here’s the takeaway…

Unless we’re literally looking at the brink of WWIII – which is highly unlikely (nobody in the White House wants this)

The absolute LAST thing you want to do is panic.

So the next question is – how can we use the situation to our advantage?

That’s what I address in the Insight of the Day below.

								<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The left-wing media is already screaming about how Trump is leading us down the road to WWIII.</span></p>

And while I’m not a fan of foreign intervention, I’m not expecting WWIII anytime soon.

But you can’t convince some of these people.

So I fully expect a short-term surge in volatility in the overall markets…

And particularly in certain sectors like energy (which is a bit more rational).

That’s just “surface-level” volatility though.

I’m also expecting a surge in the market “below the market”…

A surge that could lead us to fast-moving opportunities that only appear during times of heightened uncertainty.

The strategy I’m using to detect these opportunities could have paid out big during the major tariff selloff last year (I’m talking triple-digit gains while the market was tanking)

Which is why in just a few hours at 11 a.m. Eastern today…

I’m going LIVE to demo this strategy once more.

I haven’t done so in a while…

And I’m not sure when’s the next time I’ll do so.

But if you want to see how to potentially profit from this instability…

Then make sure you show up to my free presentation later today.

Click here to confirm your free spot if you haven’t already…

And I’ll see you in just a bit at 11 a.m. ET.

P.S. If you’re planning to attend on a mobile device, make sure you download the presentation app now so you don’t miss anything when it starts. See you there.
