Hey friend,
This morning, the usual weekly jobless claims numbers came in at 202,000 – below last week’s figures and below expectations.
We also got trade deficit numbers, which while higher than last month, also came in below expectations.

Note: All indexes closed higher yesterday again. And while they opened sharply lower this morning, they’ve been regaining ground throughout the morning. No change in any index directions.
The Daily Nugget
In the stock market, the only thing you can control is yourself.
You can’t control the behavior of other investors.
You can’t control what headlines will hit next.
You can’t control President Trump’s actions.
You can’t control what Iran or Israel may say or do.
And you certainly cannot control how the market responds to any of it.
That is what makes trading so challenging for so many people.
They keep looking for certainty in places where it does not exist.
They wait for the news to calm down.
They wait for the market to feel easier.
They wait for outside conditions to line up perfectly before they trust their process.
But that is not where progress comes from.
Progress comes from controlling what is actually yours to control.
Your actions.
Your mindset.
Your discipline.
Your risk.
Your choice in what strategy to follow when the noise gets louder.
The corporate insiders are certainly unfazed by this heightened volatility and selloff.
In fact, they’re loading up on their own company stocks.
Of course, it’s easy to have this kind of confidence and control when you already know what’s coming down the pipeline for your own company.
The good news is – we can acquire that very same confidence and control in our trading…
Simply by following in their footsteps.
And that’s why tomorrow, Friday at 11 a.m. Eastern…
Head Trader Ross Givens is going LIVE to demonstrate his method for following the right kind of insiders, where he’ll show you:
- Where to find insider trades – publicly and legally
- How to tell which ones matter (and which to ignore)
- The 3 unusual signals that insiders leave behind when they’re confident a stock is about to move
Ross’ method for doing so has never had a losing year…
And could have handed you a 19X compounded return since 2017.
So click here to register for his live insider method demo Friday…
And he’ll see you tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. ET.
