In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live It’s official – the United States government entered its first shutdown in nearly seven years at midnight Wednesday. Predictably, the global financial markets are already feeling the heat. The S&P 500 futures fell over 0.6% in early trading. And the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures declined about 0.5% in the same frame, with the Nasdaq 100 contracts dropping 0.7%. The immediate aftermath of a shutdown impasse like this always spooks the markets. It makes perfect sense. There’s no telling when the political drama will subside – and there’s every indication this shutdown could last longer than anyone’s comfortable with. While it’s easy to get spooked, situations like this bring me back to my days on the trading floor. Look, government shutdowns always bring the markets to their knees. But I’ve seen this song and dance play out several times in the past. Rather than panic, my job was to make money for my clients whatever the markets threw at me. It was all about pivoting to assets that stood a chance in a market cycle conquered by volatility. Whether safe-havens like gold or other “volatility-proof” assets, my goal was to earn. All that experience I’ve gained trading through crisis after crisis? It informs the playbook we use here at Masters in Trading. And in today's episode of Masters in Trading LIVE at 11AM EST, I’m showing you exactly how we can protect our portfolios during the current shutdown drama. I’ll let you know about the proactive strategies we can use – and the key moves in commodities and stocks that smart traders can exploit to keep their capital working in any market. P.S. Wall Street runs on secrets. Always has. But every now and then, something comes along that threatens to blow the doors wide open. Yesterday, our colleagues at TradeSmith unveiled one of those game-changers – a tool based on the unfinished work of hedge fund legend Ed Thorp. If you don't know Thorp, here's the quick version: He beat Vegas at blackjack, then delivered gains five times higher than the S&P 500 for three decades straight. Now, everyday traders can access the same hedge-fund quality edge Thorp used to dominate Wall Street. We've got a replay of the free T-Day Summit ready for you right here. You'll see how this innovation could shift your approach from traditional buy-and-hold to systematic profit generation.
