Don Kaufman here. 

And welcome to what might be the most expensive lesson in market psychology you'll see this week.

I just closed out Christmas tree spreads for over 50% gains in less than a month. You'd think I'd be celebrating, right?

Instead, I'm getting the hell out.

Why? 

Because those trades should have made a hell of a lot more money, a hell of a lot faster. And when profitable trades don't behave like they should, that's your market screaming something is deeply wrong.

This morning, the market is pricing the S&P 500 to move only 115 points through the biggest earnings week of the year. 

Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta all reporting. Plus the Fed decision, plus Trump meeting Xi Jinping on Thursday.

We already moved 65 points TODAY just on China trade deal news. And yes, this is the fourth or fifth time we've traded higher on the exact same "framework" announcement since April.
