On the Eve of MASSIVE Market Risk (Must-Watch Update)
(watch before the big earnings are released)

Don Kaufman here.
When you've got $8 TRILLION worth of tech titans about to report earnings, PCE data dropping tomorrow, AND employment numbers coming Friday... you know we're in for some fireworks.
• Why Microsoft's earnings tonight could send shockwaves through the entire AI sector (and the surprising move I just made in NVIDIA because of it)
• The "blind spot" in the VIX that almost nobody is watching (this 9-day indicator just hit levels we haven't seen since August's wild ride)
• Why I'm taking the OPPOSITE side of what most traders expect after the election (includes a specific trade setup with massive upside potential)
• The potential "AI spending bubble" that could burst if just ONE of these mega-caps misses expectations
Look, we're sitting on a powder keg of market-moving events. Between the tech earnings tsunami, critical economic data, and next week's election, the marketplace is pricing in some serious moves.
The craziest part?
The S&P's expected move for the entire week is just $15, but for November 1st alone, they're pricing in a $70 move.
Something doesn't add up.
I just put on two specific trades to position for what's coming. One in NVIDIA, and another in volatility that could pay off big.

The election's about to shake up the markets in ways most folks aren't seeing coming.
I just broke this down in my latest Schwab Network segment:
• How a "political crossfire" scenario could send XOM soaring (even if oil drops) – and the precise options play I'm using to target this move
• The post-election VIX setup that's making most traders dead wrong about volatility (and why "clarity" isn't what you should be betting on)
• Why the AI golden child NVDA might finally be losing its crown (and what AMD and Supermicro's moves are telling us)
✓ My complete XOM options strategy with exact strikes and December expiration
✓ Why betting on "low volatility" after the election could be the biggest trap of 2024
✓ The House scenario most traders are completely overlooking
✓ A specific January NVDA options play for those who think the AI trade is overextended
✓ Why removing emotions from election trades could be your biggest edge
