2 Stocks, 2 Directions — 1 Bullish Setup, 1 Breaking Down

>>>Chuck and I are about to share TWO AutoStrike income trades live at 1 PM ET, so don’t be late!<<<

The market has turned negative again, and most of the drama came from — you guessed it — chip stocks and tariff headlines.

Nvidia (NVDA) dropped over 7% after announcing the U.S. government is tightening restrictions on its H20 AI chip exports to China. The company said it’ll take a $5.5 billion hit from the move.

Ouch.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) got caught in the same crossfire. A new filing showed it could face up to $800 million in charges due to similar restrictions. That sent its stock tumbling more than 6%.

Meanwhile, there’s still a cloud of confusion hanging over President Trump’s trade policy. Some reports suggest auto tariffs could be lifted, but no one knows for sure what’s happening with the paused duties on consumer electronics.

And just to keep things interesting, the administration is floating new tariffs on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals and even critical minerals.

Amid all this noise, one solid piece of data came through: March retail sales jumped 1.4%, the best reading in over two years. That’s a nice sign of economic resilience heading into all this trade turbulence.

And gold?

It just keeps climbing. The yellow metal hit a new all-time high above $3,300 an ounce Tuesday night — proving once again that when chaos reigns, investors rush to safety.

Philip Morris (PM) in Bullish Mode

While most of the market has been a mess this year, Philip Morris (PM) has been soaring.

And PM has been one of the quiet standouts of 2025. While the broader market has been whipsawed by tariff headlines and rate fears, PM has steadily climbed higher — fueled by strong earnings, stable cash flow and growing demand for its smoke-free products.

At the same time, our Newton Indicator is in bullish mode. As the stock has moved up lately, it’s gone from red during a retracement to yellow. And now it’s green.

This indicates it has excellent momentum and could be ready to make a move up.

DaVita (DVA) Looking Bearish

On the flip side, DaVita (DVA) has been looking pretty bearish.

DVA has struggled in recent months, largely due to ongoing concerns around regulatory changes and reimbursement pressure in the healthcare sector. Uncertainty around Medicare payment rates for dialysis services, combined with rising labor costs, has weighed on investor sentiment.

And the Newton Indicator shows that momentum has gone from yellow to red on a big bar down. It looks like it could be ready for a fall.

We’re in one of those markets where headlines move everything — sometimes before you’ve even finished your morning coffee.

Between shifting tariff policies, costly chip restrictions, and ongoing China tensions, there’s not a lot of clarity.

But strong retail numbers and gold’s breakout show there’s still resilience (and opportunity) underneath the noise.

Stay nimble, stay cautious — and stay tuned.

P.S. AutoStrike Versus the Market Crash: 3-0

A few months ago, Chuck Hughes called me with news he couldn’t share with anyone else yet.

After 40 years of trading (and mentoring me for the past few), he’d finally done something I thought was impossible – he automated his trading method.

As Chuck’s student, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful his strategies are.

His guidance helped me double my account in about six months, posting over $30,000 in profits.

But this new trade engine he built? It’s on another level entirely.

It’s called “AutoStrike” – and it doesn’t just find good stocks.

It scans through 100,000+ options contracts to identify the precise ones with what it sees as having exceptional profit potential.

The kind that can target $500… $1,000… sometimes even more per trade.

I was skeptical until I saw what was possible during one of the worst market weeks in January.

Based on the algorithm… On January 21st, AutoStrike could have flagged a trade on NET that would have paid $1,202 in just days.

Again, a few days later, on January 29th, another alert on FTNT that would have delivered $1,443.

And even by February, it was the exact same story on yet another opportunity with HWM, with a short at $1,225 in profits.

All while the market was getting hammered.

The most impressive part?

Even when stocks like NVDA dropped 8.5% in November and most traders got crushed.

Anyone following these “AutoStrike” alerts had a shot at walking away with $1,077 in profits.

How? Because Chuck and his team programmed it to help you find options with the power to pay out EVEN if a stock drops 10%+ in a month.

Of course, there would have been smaller wins and some that did not work out, and I cannot promise every single trade would play out this way.

But we will share the secret behind his incredible 96.2% win rate on real money trades – and now it’s fully automated, working 24/7.

Just check your phone once during market hours, and all the heavy lifting is done for you.

Just this morning, AutoStrike flagged a new trade setup that’s primed to target profits, and I want to share it with you before the window closes.

These alerts are time sensitive, but you can get your hands on the ticker…
