On Fri Jan 10 2025 at 8:30 we get the December non-farm payroll report. These monthly reports often result in an increase in volatility and wider swings in the markets. Analysts are expecting a large drop to 155,000 jobs. Analysts were wrong on the last job reports which came in at 227,000 jobs. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at 4.2%. A miss could see stocks pullback. At the same time a low number might see a move up as investors may expect the Fed could cut rates earlier than March or May. As you can see tomorrow’s employment report is once again pivotal as we head into a new administration.

The trade is designed to profit no matter which direction the S&P moves but there are a number of keys to this strategy which are discussed in the trade alert for members. For members, the trade article explains in detail the outlook and the setup for this trade.
I have been using this strategy for approximately 19 years as of 2025, without any month taking a loss. But like everything in investing, past performance is not a guarantee of future results. At some point there will be losses in this strategy. Remember if you have never traded this type of strategy, paper trade until results are consistently profitable.
The monthly payroll numbers have been among the most tumultuous of events on a consistent basis, which for the past 19 years has driven this portfolio to exceptional gains annually.
