I didn't write to you this morning to come up with silly punchlines. |
I reached out because at midnight the chance to access December's Grand Slam Countdown trades at a massive holiday discount (+ your bonus gift 😉) will be gone. |
And there's an important point worth highlighting… because it explains why this kind of week tends to work so well for our approach... |
Short trading weeks don't leave much room for indecision. |
When the calendar removes a full session, price action has a way of resolving itself more quickly. Stocks either follow through with conviction or reverse just as decisively. There's less drifting, fewer false starts, and far less time for trades to linger. |
That environment tends to reward strategies that are built with structure and speed in mind. |
This upcoming week checks all of those boxes. |
Here's what the calendar looks like: |
Monday-Tuesday: Normal trading days Wednesday: Markets close at 1pm Thursday: Markets are fully closed Friday: Normal trading day
|
Grand Slam Countdown doesn't waive in performance just because of an odd week. We adjust to the market environment we're in. Take a look... |
iShares Silver Trust (SLV) was one of our November recommendations that were delivered the week of Thanksgiving. |
They received this recommendation on Sunday, Nov 23. that included a vertical debit spread on SLV. The entry window for this trade was on Monday, Nov. 24. |
Traders were heading into a week where the market would be closed on Thursday and in a half session on Friday… time was already off the calendar. |
At the time, SLV was trading near $45.30. |
The setup: |
|
Same plan as always: In on Monday, out by Friday. But by being aware of the market environment for the week, we were able to close out BEFORE any market closures – SLV closed out on Wed, Nov 26 for a 300% gain. |
This is what tends to happen when short-term momentum meets a compressed schedule. |
And it's the same dynamic we're stepping into again this week. |
With this being another holiday-shortened week for Grand Slam Countdown, the focus stays exactly where it should… on disciplined entries, short holding periods, and clearly defined exits. |
Grand Slam Countdown is engineered to profit quickly |
Every trade inside Grand Slam Countdown is built around a simple objective… capture a defined move within a defined window, using vertical debit spreads that keep risk controlled from the start. |
The structure is especially effective in a short week for a few key reasons: |
The entire trade is planned in advance.
Entries are placed on Monday morning, and positions are designed to resolve by the end of the same week. There's no open-ended holding period. Time decay plays a smaller role.
The long-and-short option structure of a vertical spread naturally offsets theta, which becomes even more meaningful when the week has fewer trading hours. Momentum tends to reveal itself faster.
With fewer sessions available, stocks often make their move earlier. That follow-through, or snapback, can drive the kind of short-term gains these spreads are built to target. Risk stays clearly defined.
Knowing your maximum risk upfront helps keep decisions disciplined, especially during holiday weeks when volatility can appear quickly. The move doesn't need to be large… just timely.
Shortened weeks often favor speed over size, and that's where this structure shines.

The upcoming set of trades is being finalized now and will be delivered tomorrow evening to members emails. |
If this is the type of environment you want to be prepared for, having access in place before the trades are released is the right way to approach it. |
Because we're walking into a holiday week, I wanted to throw in a special holiday discount on these trades. |
Normally $1,747 for 12 months ➡️ now just $75. |
BONUS GIFT: In the spirit of giving, I'd like to tack on 6 extra months on the house. That small fee I just mentioned will guide you through any market environment for all of 2026 and half of 2027. |
Once you sign up by using the button or any of the blue links listed in this email, your email will be added to the top of my distribution list for tomorrow's delivery. |
