Hey, Ross here:
Because 2024 ended on a somewhat weak note for the markets, uncertainty about 2025 has been creeping up.
So let’s look at a chart that could help us answer the question – could the markets deliver another 20+% gain this year?
Chart of the Day
This is basically a chart showing how the S&P 500 has performed dating back to 1950.
Years where the index rose at least 20% are marked in gold…
And as you can see, these 20+% gains are not as rare an anomaly as most people think.
In the 90s, there was even a stretch where the index rose over 20% four years in a row.
Now, am I saying it’s a certainty that the index will rise at least 20% this year? Of course not.
But I am saying that all the doom and gloom is – at least for the moment – unwarranted.
Insight of the Day
The formula for trading success in 2025 – a proven edge + unique opportunities.
It’s important to keep track of the broader markets…
But you shouldn’t let their strength – or lack of it – be an excuse for a poor trading year.
Obviously, you can’t escape their influence.
But, if you have an effective edge, you could make your 2025 trading year better than 2023 or 2024…
Even if the broader markets are weaker this year.
It’s all about combining proven edges with unique opportunities.
For instance, Trump’s first few weeks in office is a unique opportunity.
He and his team are planning to gut government regulation – which will send certain stocks to the moon while others crumble.
This is creating a perfect setup for one of the most powerful – yet controversial – trading edges of all time.
You already have access to this system…
So, before the weekend hits…

Yes, I made a little money, but after finding Ross Givens and his educational methods a few months ago, I have moved the stocks in my portfolio to ones with more potential than ever before.
I am so impressed I purchased a lifetime membership and learned a new selection method daily.”
