Why I Celebrate When Markets Crash

Don Kaufman here.
While everyone else was losing their minds during the April 2025 crash, I was placing my biggest trade of the year.
Not because I'm reckless - because I know something most traders don't: chaos is where the real money gets made.
Let me be clear about something: I haven't taken one losing Christmas tree trade since 2016.
Not one.
That's nine years of profiting from the exact chaos that destroys other traders.
And April 2025? That "worst market in modern history" everyone's still talking about?
I made $1,400 on a single trade while the market was absolutely crashing.
