Most traders stare at candles.
Very few understand what’s pushing them.
We’re pulling that layer apart today—step by step.

Good morning, Traders:
This morning, we're digging into the four stories actually moving markets right now…
Silver IS ripping to new all-time highs…
The real setup behind the Santa Claus rally…
The Yen is getting stronger… and that’s a macro risk…
Strong Yen = tighter liquidity
Strong gold = distrust in fiat
Flat equities = waiting on data
Energy risk = inflation spoiler
But the more important story?
Today, we're also introducing Strategy #2 of my 2026 playbook.
This one is built around insider buying.
The idea is simple but powerful. We identify strong, direct insider purchases by executives, focus only on stocks we already like, require deep, liquid options markets, and then sell credit spreads at prices below the insiders' purchase prices.
In other words…
We let insiders define the floor, and we get paid to wait above it.
We'll break down what credit spreads are (in plain English), why selling below insider buys changes the odds, and how this fits into a broader capital-formation framework.
And at 3:00 PM ET today, I'll walk investors through the first two 2026 strategies step by step. If you’re not a member of TheoTrade’s all-day market coverage… now’s the time.
This one sets the tone for the year ahead.
Stay positive,
Garrett Baldwin
