The 3 "safe haven" trades I'm betting against (rotation madness is creating huge opportunities)

I just told Schwab viewers something that shocked them: when Apple becomes the "new Treasury market," it's time to go the other way...

Just wrapped my Trading 360 segment on Schwab and had to break some hard truths to viewers:

We're living in pure rotation insanity.

When companies are closing in on $5 trillion market caps and policy means nothing... when gold becomes "the new AI trade" because Nvidia isn't performing... when Apple turns into a "safe haven asset class" for all the wrong reasons...

That's when you know the market has lost its mind.

I shared three contrarian setups that go directly against this rotation madness:

The "fake safe haven" fade - Everyone's piling into this mega-cap because it's become the "new Treasury market." Problem is, cash cows with zero innovation don't deserve premium multiples. When this safety trade unwinds...

The "dead volume" breakdown - Volumes are dead everywhere in this space. When something touches a key technical level and there's nobody home to support it, things get ugly fast. I'm positioning for new lows.

The "artificial bid" reversal - This one's catching a bounce today, which is exactly what I want to see before building a bearish position. When fake strength meets real weakness, gravity wins.

Look, I'm a contrarian through and through. When everyone's chasing the same rotation nonsense - "let's move out of tech into everything else, then back into tech, then out again" - that's exactly when the math sets up perfectly.

These aren't hope trades. They're pure probability plays against pure market insanity.

To your success,
Don Kaufman

P.S. Nvidia earnings dop tonight. Will it recharge the Nasdaq and push it to new highs? Or will it be the reason it finally cracks. Who will be the winners and losers? Those questions will all be answered tomorrow morning before the bell with Garrett Baldwin. 

This live session will be totally free to attend, and you can RSVP here. I will be on immediately after to talk recent windows. A volatility event that happens about 10x a year and the strategy I’ve been using to nail 100% of my trades.  Don’t miss it.
