[Claim you VIP PASS right here]( MAIN STORY The Fed Unleashed the Hounds - See What We're Doing About It By Tom Gentile. Dear Reader, The Fed unleashed the market hounds by raising interest rates 25 bps – the S&P 500 climbed over 2.5 percent in just two days. To top it off, the unemployment rate fell even lower to 3.4% – which isn’t exactly what the Fed had in mind in terms of its fight against inflation. Knowing the declining unemployment rate can put upward pressure on inflation may seem a little unnerving, but it’s also a reminder to me of the importance of having a rules-based approach to trading. Which is why I’m following the patterns for our trading during this time of irrational exuberance. Despite the rise in major market indices this past week, implied volatility (IV) is still doing its job, and that’s due to the uncertainty surrounding earnings reporting. Apple Inc. (AAPL) and Amazon Inc. (AMZN) both reported earnings Thursday after the closing bell and each of them had price fluctuations of over 6 percent the next day. Just take a look at the AMZN chart below. The last two earnings reports are highlighted and you can see the volatility rush ahead of earnings, followed by the big IV crash after the report – illustrated by the red trend line. This simply means that no matter what the Fed rhetoric is, IV is still rising ahead of earnings, and, therefore, option premiums are still becoming excessively overpriced ahead of earnings, and crashing afterwards. And being on the right side of inflating and deflating option premiums is what my Vega Burst trading is all about… And they’ve had a busy week. Below I’ve shared a picture of the earnings trades Vega Burst traders added this week. Since earnings season is in full force, we’re not slowing down. I’m expecting more in the coming days – join the [Money Morning LIVE]( discussion this week at noon for upcoming opportunities. In the meantime, I’m taking a break from the mother-in-law makeover kitchen I shared with you last week.

So, it’s off to the car show for some fun and food. Have a wonderful weekend and be sure to tune in tomorrow at 12:00 noon ET for some more action on [Money Morning LIVE.]( I’ll see you soon.
