Hey, Ross here:
I see a lot of people comparing the 2025 selloff to the 2022 bear market.
That’s understandable.
But what this selloff reminds me of the most is not 2022 – but 2018.
Chart of the Day
The above chart shows all the bear markets from the past decade.
2018 isn’t officially considered a bear market because the S&P 500’s max drawdown was 19% – just under the 20% bear market threshold.
But for the Nasdaq – the index I focus on the most when trading, because that’s where all the growth stocks are – the max drawdown was about 23%.
That’s the year that 2025 reminds me of the most.
We had massive tariff/trade war uncertainty coupled with a stubborn Fed…
Exacerbated by a mainstream media that takes every chance it gets to exaggerate Trump’s moves.
When the rebound began at the end of 2018, it happened strong and fast.
I expect the same thing right now.
Remember, we are in a correction not a crisis.
And this is also one of the best positioning opportunities we might see in a while. I explain more below.
Insight of the Day
Most of our biggest and best winners were made during these bear markets.
When I look back at all the trades I’ve recommended…
I find that most of our biggest and best winners were made during these bear markets…
Whether that’s 2018, 2020, or 2022.
Sure, we did well during the bull markets – with a lot better consistency.
But when looking at those big ten-bagger trades?
You have to enter them during these corrections and bear markets.
Like I said, we’re not in a bear market and I don’t believe we’ll enter one anytime soon.
But just like 2018, the sharp 2025 selloff presents a positioning opportunity that may not come again in a while.
The good news is, because the potential returns are so great…
You don’t even have to take a lot of risk to take a shot.
Later this afternoon at 3 p.m. Eastern…
I’m going LIVE to show you a unique strategy for finding high potential trade setups amidst all this tariff turbulence.
The strategy I’ll be demonstrating has indicated opportunities like:
- 4X in two weeks…
- 3X in ONE DAY…
- 9X in six days…
But with Trump announcing wide-ranging tariffs today, there’s never been a better time to use this strategy to exploit all that volatility.

And I’ll see you at 3 p.m. ET later today.
Act before the market calms down.
