🚨 I’ll be live at 11:30 a.m. ET with Jack Carter🚨
We’ll cover the top 3 stocks to get started running the triple income strategy and more [tap to join us for Market Masters]!
When the head of the biggest bank in the world starts drawing comparisons to 2008, most traders panic. Me? I see an opportunity to deploy one of my favorite strategies.
Look, when smart people in the room who see things we don’t get to see start sounding alarm bells, I don’t ignore it. But I also don’t run for the hills. Instead, I position myself to profit from the fear while potentially acquiring quality assets at a deep discount.
That’s where my turbo wheel strategy comes into play — selling cash-secured puts on the highest quality names in the sector and collecting premium from all this fear. This is where we grab our Monster energy drinks and we don’t panic.
We position.
The Liquidity Illusion
One thing that amplifies all this volatility is something I call the liquidity illusion. Markets look deep and smooth on the surface, but when fear hits and everyone moves to one side of the boat, the bids disappear fast. ETFs make this even more dramatic.
ETFs hold a staggering $1.25 trillion dollars in corporate bonds, yet those underlying bonds do not trade with the same ease. So when the selling starts, liquidity dries up long before most investors realize what’s actually happening.
It’s the illusion of liquidity — and it can turn a normal correction into something far more chaotic.
The High-Yield Play: Ares Capital
Let me walk you through a specific setup I’ve been eyeing. Ares Capital (ARCC) is one of the largest and best-run BDCs with a diversified portfolio and a juicy 9.5% yield.
Here’s what makes this interesting: You could potentially sell a put maybe 5-7% below current price and collect premium that works out to over 100% on an annualized basis. You’re getting paid handsomely just to wait.
If the stock drops and you get assigned, you now own a quality income-producing asset at a discount with a yield on your cost basis over 10%. Not a bad outcome when credit markets are freezing up and everyone else is scrambling.
And if you’re looking for a deeper force shaping these moves, there’s an unexpected catalyst in the mix — AI. It’s reshaping how capital flows, disrupting software margins and redirecting investor attention so fast that entire sectors are getting repriced almost overnight.
The Fortress Trade: JPMorgan
JPMorgan (JPM) has the strongest balance sheet of any bank, at least by government measures. It’s potentially going to be a flight-to-safety destination when the credit markets freeze.
The setup is straightforward: Sell puts on JPM and collect a smaller but attractive premium with peace of mind knowing you’re betting on one of the stalwarts of the market.
There’s something beautifully ironic about using the fortress itself as your hedge when the guy running it is warning about the storm.
For those who want a small speculation play, you could buy a modest put on a junk bond ETF like JNK or HYG — a direct bet on credit spreads widening as fear takes over. Keep the position small. It’s a directional gamble.
Of course, there’s always risk. But in a world full of illusions and leverage, somebody has to provide liquidity. And right now, that’s us.

P.S. LIVE at 1 PM ET: The Biggest Trade Opportunity of 2026?
We’re watching oil prices surge past $110 a barrel, with reports indicating they could go much higher.
If you’ve seen this morning’s gas prices, you already know how this translates to a much more difficult time for the average person.
That’s why the timing for today’s opportunity couldn’t be better, so Jack Carter and I will reveal it LIVE at 1 p.m. ET today.
It’s a signal that could reward everyone who acts on it with more than what’s needed to offset these rising prices.
As volatility rises over the next few weeks, you could be exploiting a signal that has preceded bullish stock moves 100% of the time, according to my research.
I can’t make reckless trading guarantees…
But if you haven’t seen this signal, the stock it’s flagging, and how I’ll be pursuing it…
