"retail gamma squeeze" creates INSTANT trading opportunity
(New Video)

Don Kaufman here.
Just wrapped up my appearance on Schwab's Big 3 with Diane King Hall, and people... what I revealed on live TV has me more fired up than I've been in weeks.
The week might be over and done with effectively. It comes down to ONE TWEET and that is it.
We don't need earnings. We don't need fundamentals. We don't even need technicals.
We just need tweets regarding tariffs.
But here's what I told Schwab viewers that's got me absolutely pumped: I'm seeing something INSANE happening with retail traders that's about to create some serious opportunities...
In today's full Big 3 interview, I revealed:
• Why retail investors are buying "massive amounts" of at-the-money calls in one specific stock -- forcing market makers into what I call a "retail gamma squeeze" (and the exact spread I'm using to hop on this freight train)
• The shocking reason I'm going BEARISH on gold despite its strong year-to-date performance -- it has everything to do with what I expect from the dollar and the "tremendous number of shorts" creating a precarious situation
• How "Burrito Brian's" turnaround strategy at Starbucks could create a technical setup I haven't been bullish on "in a very long time" (plus Rick Duquette's chart analysis that confirms my thesis)
• Why the debt markets could start putting serious pressure on the S&P as this holiday-shortened week progresses
• The one simple indicator I check on thinkorswim that reveals when retail traders are "sweeping and buying every call they possibly can" -- literally forcing stocks higher
Look, we're consistently a tweet or post away from a 200-point move in the S&P. That's something I told viewers I keep reiterating week in and week out.
But instead of getting whipsawed by the headlines, I'm using my signature $5-wide spreads to position for the moves I see coming.
Because in this headline-driven market, missing my complete analysis could leave you on the wrong side of some massive moves.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
