Hey, Ross here:
People unfamiliar with the market are always surprised by how big of an effect seasonality can play.
With that in mind, let’s look at what seasonality tells us could be in store.
Chart of the Day
This chart shows how the S&P 500 has performed in July on average, based on data going back to 1950.
Generally, July is a strong month.
But as you can see, the tendency is for most of the gains to be concentrated in the first half of the month…
With the second half seeing stagnant or even falling price action.
We’re right at the border of the second half of July.
Seasonality tells us not to be surprised if we see a pullback.
I’ve been saying the same as well.
But what I’m going to say next may be a little controversial. More below.

Insight of the Day
Ignore seasonality and focus on strength.
Does seasonality have predictive power? Definitely.
And yet, despite everything I just said above…
The best move as a trader is to ignore seasonality – and focus on strength.
Why?
Because it can be a distraction.
For instance, some traders – upon seeing that seasonality is negative for the next few weeks might decide to sit out completely…
When in fact, there are still pockets of strength they should be focusing on.
And in just a few hours at 11 a.m. Eastern later this morning…
I’m going LIVE to reveal one of the biggest pockets of strength I’m seeing right now…
A pocket being teed up by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in a way I’m not seeing anyone else mention.
Plus, I’ll also demo my #1 strategy for finding the highest-conviction stocks most likely to benefit…
So don’t miss this.
Click here to secure your seat for my live reveal tomorrow…
And I’ll see you in just a bit at 11 a.m. ET.

Customer Story of the Day
“I’m not someone that usually leaves reviews, however, if I could give more stars I absolutely would!
I am currently enrolled in two of their courses.
I knew NOTHING about the stock market when I joined back in March after seeing Ross on The Cartier Family YouTube Channel.
Ross and Jean have rather quickly taught me how to navigate the market. They are so patient with ‘newbies’ like me and have eagerly answered my questions with demonstrations.
I would highly recommend this down to earth and knowledgeable team to anyone that is on the fence about joining.
Just take the leap and watch your wallet grow!”
