Black Monday 2.0?

Publisher's Note: We've just witnessed a greater destruction of market value since February 19 than during the entire Global Financial Crisis...

And hedge funds are now reporting "Lehman-style" margin calls due to the market crash.

So, sure, we can all hope for the best...

But it's officially time to prepare for the worst, too – because the worst is now firmly at our doorsteps.

With reciprocal tariffs, along with other moves, America is now on "war footing" according to some analysts.

The S&P lost $2.7 trillion in a single day last week... the second-largest drop in history.

And now it looks like the regional banks could be in trouble again after their largest daily drop since the 2023 Regional Bank Crisis.

Just days before this chaos began, one of investing's most respected figures, Marc Chaikin, stepped forward to issue a major crash prediction...

Along with a straightforward strategy for what's being called a "New Economic World Order."

Over 135,000 people have seen it – but you may not be one of them.

And given that it's coming offline for good at midnight TONIGHT, I urge you to take a few minutes to see why thousands of folks were better positioned for last week's selloff than others.

Marc is a 50-year Wall Street veteran, inventor of one of investing's most popular indicators, and the founder of Chaikin Analytics (our corporate affiliate), among other things.

He called the crashes of 2020 and 2022... along with the 2023 bank run...

And he just revealed the NUMBER ONE step he recommends you take with your money to prepare for the volatile days ahead.

Click here to learn more, or read on for details from Marc below...

Dear Reader,

President Trump's reciprocal tariff plan is creating what some call a "New Economic World Order."

And I'm here to tell you there is now a new stock market order, too.

The Magnificent 7 Index is down over 30% from December 18's all-time high.

In fact, we've just witnessed a greater destruction of market value since February 19 than during the entire Global Financial Crisis.

And with hedge funds now reporting "Lehman-style" margin calls due to the market crash...

This may just be the beginning.

Last week, S&P 500 stocks erased $120 billion PER HOUR on "Liberation Day"... for total losses of $2.9 trillion.

And even though the S&P 500 is down 7.5% year-to-date, most investors are down much more.

Because that is what always happens to regular investors...

They get caught flat-footed and financially hurt by larger global events completely outside of their control.

It was the same in 2008...

The same in 2020...

The same in 2022...

And today, once again, the market is going through a violent shift.

One I cover extensively in my latest crash warning – the full version of which is coming offline for GOOD at midnight tonight.

For your last chance to watch, I urge you to click here.

Because, to be candid...

After being one of the loudest stock market bulls over the past couple of years, last week's events, along with the data within the Power Gauge, make me extremely concerned.

Put simply, unless something dramatic changes, this is the sort of situation that could lead to a worldwide recession...

And recessions lead to bear markets.

The time to prepare is NOW.

But I've detailed everything you need to know in this free broadcast – along with the NUMBER ONE step I recommend you take with your money to position yourself for the volatile days ahead.

Mark my words, the losses we've seen so far could just be the starting pistol for something much, much more dramatic.

But if you take the moves detailed in my briefing, I believe you will look back on today – April 7, 2025 – with immense relief and gratitude.

Watch it now – before it comes offline for good TONIGHT at midnight.

Be well,

Marc Chaikin
Founder, Chaikin Analytics

P.S. Even before "Liberation Day" rocked the markets, I could see something fundamental was shifting in U.S. stocks.

That's why I had my team drop basically everything else to broadcast my crucial market broadcast, The Chaikin Crash Summit.

Over 123,000 people have tuned in to hear me detail what's happening, in plain English.

And this is your final day to see it in full.

At midnight, we're pulling it offline, so click here now to view it.

While I was on air, I detailed – free of charge – a straightforward strategy (that doesn't involve anything other than regular stocks and ETFs). A powerful new investment approach that is tailor-made for markets like today.

And I mean that quite literally.

Because remember, this isn't the first trade war we've waged with President Trump at the helm.

During the last trade war in 2018, the S&P 500 fell more than 10% in a single month... before finishing the year down more than 4%.

Yet, the average investor ended the year down an estimated 9%... as I touched on a moment ago.

But if you had been using this straightforward strategy...

The trade war could have worked out extremely well for you, according to our backtest. Meaning you could have locked in 12 double-digit winners... while the S&P was falling:

PVH: 10.39%
FTNT: 16.52%
ALGN: 36.24%
ARKW: 11.23%
NFLX: 32.53%
AAPL: 10.76%
CRM: 17.28%
FTNT: 47.8%
VEEV: 41.65%
AMZN: 17.84%
XHS: 10.51%
HUM: 13.91%

...That's an average of one double-digit gain every month... while the S&P ended the year down!

But just know that after midnight, you will no longer be able to view it in full.

BALLER CREATORS

Sports fever is boosting creators to new Short heights

Golf, soccer, basketball, oh my: Golf is having quite the moment on YouTube, but it's not the only sport on the up and up. Basketball's in the spotlight too, thanks to creators like Jesser and IShowSpeed and an upcoming bilingual showdown between MrBeast and Uruguayan YouTuber Fede Vigevani.

In Tubefilter's latest monthly roundup of the top 100 Most-Subscribed YouTube Channels in the United States, we saw Jesser—an all-around sports creator who started off playing NBA 2K and now collabs with the actual NBA—come in at spot #6, having netted a whopping 1.8 million new subscribers in 31 days.

A chunk of that subscriber growth is driven by his long-form basketball videos, but a majority is from Shorts. Jesser upped his short-form video output in March to 13 videos - the most he's ever uploaded in a calendar month. Those videos are averaging over 5 million views each in the last 30-days (while a couple of his older Shorts are approaching 200 million views).

Jesser's uploads are also sports-related and provide a data point that viewers hunger for game time across all formats. IShowSpeed provides another one. The 20-year-old grew his audience live streaming until he was top-tier enough to snag collabs with soccer legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Like Jesser, he posted those collabs as Shorts, racking up tens of millions of views.

MrBeast ballin': Both Jesser and IShowSpeed are fan-favorite frontrunners for spots in MrBeast and Vigevani's upcoming April 25 basketball match. The showdown will pit Team MrBeast (all English-speaking creators) against Team Fede (all Spanish-speakers)—and Fede's already thrown some jabs, claiming his ballers will be "way better" than MrBeast's.

Jimmy, meanwhile, has begun recruiting. He called out IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat as his two top choices for team members. Considering they've both participated in pro/celebrity sports matches, we wouldn't be surprised if they show up in blue jerseys on game day. And, judging by comments on MrBeast and Vigevani 's announcement video, Jesser is another frontrunner.

We also wouldn't be surprised if all these creators take the competition as a chance to film more sports Shorts (say that three times fast) content. From the very first Logan Paul vs KSI match way back in 2018, it's been clear that creator sports events are founts of content creation, fun for fans, and lucrative for players and partner charities.

Now, as we can see in our March Top 100, there's another benefit: More Shorts content, which leads more Shorts views, which leads to more channel subscribers. Fans want to see coverage from influencer sports showdowns—and these creators will have a chance to provide the goods.

THE ERA OF CREATOR EXECS

Will creator execs lead us into a new era of entertainment?

C-suite creators: Over the last five years, people outside the internet bubble have realized what we insiders have known for years: Digital content creation is the next major entertainment force. It rivals traditional TV, streaming services, even Hollywood. With all this cultural weight behind it, the $250 billion digital content industry is commanding more attention and bigger investments—and now, companies are looking to creators for the path to success.

The latest is Doing Things, which was was founded in 2017 and now has a stable of over 40 creator owned and operated content brands, including Bob Does Sports, Recess Therapy, Middle Class Fancy, Overheard, and Shitheadsteve. It's brought in comedian Jake Krantz as Creative Director of its newly formed talent and video team.

Krantz, who has 4.5 million followers across TikTok, YouTube, and Insta, first hooked up with Doing Things back in 2023, when he was part of its creator-fronted campaigns for brands like Coca-Cola and Kellogg's. Now? It wants him to lead its original content expansion.

The best year ever: Doing Things tells Tubefilter 2024 was its best year yet, with revenue quadruple what it was earning in 2021. "[A]s we continue to grow, we are looking to expand our teams with creator talent that know how to develop authentic content that engages—both from an audience and brand perspective," Doing Things' CEO Reid Hailey said.

❝

I'm super excited to partner with Doing Things where I will be working with a team of like-minded creatives to engineer new and exciting ways of creating entertainment that will stand out from the crowd.

—Jake Krantz

Doing Things' goal here is to plant Krantz right on top of its momentum wave, and have him guide its original content schedule. Its roster of creator brands currently publishes over 100 pieces of original content per day, generating "billions of views" each month.

Under Krantz's leadership? Who knows how big it can get.

High school history class was never this good

War never changes: With all the current tension, it's the perfect time for a video about what happens when two allied global powers get a little leery of one another. Thankfully Big Tugg is here to provide. This man built his YouTube foundation on videos talking about why everything sucks, but he's been expanding his repertoire lately, and we're not joking when we say this hour-long deep dive into the Cold War's wildest occurrences is top-tier educational viewership.

Ready to walk away knowing way too much about what the U.S. did to monkeys during the Space Age? What about the Brits and their landmine chickens? Throw in some explanations of various geopolitical relationships, a skim into MKUltra and Operation Paperclip, and you'll have a thorough understanding of what led to the Cold War and what extended it—and why we should be paying extra attention to all of that right now.
