Then, read on for more about how volatility can boost returns… --------------------------------------------------------------- Smart Traders Pay Attention to These “Money Shock” Dates By Larry Benedict, Editor, Trading With Larry Benedict [Larry Benedict] Earlier this month, a headline caught my eye: Trader Bags $10 Million in Bold Fed Bet Minutes Before Jobs Data While Bloomberg called this a “bold” trade, though, it wasn’t… It was a smart trade. The number of job openings had risen from 10.44 million last November to 11 million in December. In other words, the economy still has a worker shortage. Anyone who read the writing on the wall knew the jobs report would come hot out of the gate. And knowing how to interpret what was going on… and how to play it… gave this trader a $10 million win. But it wasn’t only a smart call that gave him those millions… There’s another factor that I watch very closely… one that is amplifying the profit potential of trades just like this… Recommended Link [Finally, gain financial freedom in 2023 using this method]( [image]( Master Trader Jeff Clark achieved financial freedom at the young age of 42.

[Watch his video here and get the name and ticker of the One Stock too.]( -- Higher Volatility Leads to Bigger Gains On certain days, a “money shock” occurs in the markets… It’s a spike in volatility… when more activity goes on and the profit potential is bigger for traders. This surge in volatility can be as much as 20 times that of any other day. And believe it or not, every time this happens, it’s announced in advance. That’s why, when I saw this pattern, I put together something I call a “money shock calendar.” What are these shocks? It’s simple, really… On certain days, the government releases key information. And regardless of what the information says, the release causes a money shock. Above, it was the jobs report I mentioned. Everyone from pundits to the president watches this number because it tells us about the strength of the jobs market. That ties into everyone’s least favorite watchword… inflation. A strong labor market means stronger inflationary pressures. And with a Fed that keeps raising rates to fight inflation, a strong jobs report tells everyone that the rate increases aren’t stopping anytime soon. [Featured: “What I’ve learned is going to shock most people...” – Nomi Prins]( So you can begin to see why a report that normally might seem boring suddenly begins to cause waves in the markets… As traders, though, the important thing isn’t what the jobs report actually says. Even if the jobs report had come in weaker, signaling that rate cuts might ease… the news still would have caused shockwaves in the market. What’s most important to us is knowing that one of these money shocks is about to hit… not the specifics of the data release. Because we can play this volatility in a number of different ways. Let me show you one example… Recommended Link [THIS has the potential to take off...]( [image]( No one is expecting what she’s predicting.

Oil rallied to start the year, but demand was still sluggish, and on the chart, we could see USO was trading right around its resistance zone of $78.50 a share. So we expected to see oil pull back in the near future. [Featured: Make 2023 all about investing for your retirement]( On February 1, OPEC decided not to cut production… which didn’t give the bulls the news they were looking for. That started the move in our direction… And then we hit a money shock. The jobs report hit – and even though oil doesn’t directly relate to the jobs numbers that came out, the spike in volatility that the jobs report caused was enough to boost our returns and take profits. We sold for a solid 25% gain that day. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to our calendar when these money shocks are scheduled. If we know how to trade the increased volatility, we can use it to our advantage.

The DOW plunged 3.5%, and he told CNBC, “It seems like there’s much more to come.” Within a month, the market plummeted 34%. Then, nobody believed Larry at the start of last year, either. He predicted that “all the indexes will be negative for the year,” with the Nasdaq leading the way. Once again, he was spot-on. Anybody who followed his recommendations could be well in the black. Now, for the first time, Larry’s coming forward to share a brand-new forecast.

On money shock days, I’ve brought my readers returns like… - 53% in 1 day - 100% in 1 day - 115% in 6 days - 175% in 1 day - 100% in 1 day - 69% in 50 days - 100% in 1 day - 47% in 1 day - 100% in 2 days - 38% in 2 days That’s just a sample. There are many more… over 89 winning trades, in fact – just since January of last year. And that’s why I want to share my “money shock calendar” with you. It has 32 days to pay attention to this year. I’m going to be sharing even more about these dates… and how to trade them… tomorrow on February 22.
