The Trading Post | 05.30.25

Good morning,

Trump's tariffs are back (again), Nvidia crushed earnings, PCE inflation data hits this morning, the dollar's heading for a fifth losing month, and US-China trade talks just hit another pothole.

Master a fast, repeatable intra-day options strategy designed to capture explosive moves and exit before volatility crushes your profits—all for just $29. 

Let’s jump in.

Pre-Market Performance

As of 05.30.25 market close.

Market News

• Tariff Turbulence: A U.S. appeals court reinstated Trump's global tariffs a day after they were blocked. Legal tennis continues, and markets hate cardio. Bloomberg

• Nvidia Dominates: $44B in Q1 revenue, 73% growth in data center sales, and a $4.5B inventory write-down barely made a dent. Tech bulls remain caffeinated. CNBC

• Inflation Watch: Dow -100, S&P -25, Nasdaq -120 ahead of this morning's PCE print. July rate cut odds now just 22%. Watch for fireworks at 8:30am. Reuters

• Dollar Sinks: The DXY slips below 100, on track for its fifth straight monthly decline. That usually screams "gold" and "commodities," not "strong U.S. policy." Reuters

• Trade Talks Stall: Treasury Sec. Bessent says US-China trade negotiations are "a bit stalled." Translation: brace for more semiconductor-related tantrums. YouTube

A Message From Wealth Builders HQ

Stop Getting Crushed by Market Whiplash 

You know the frustration: you pick the right option, the stock moves your way, and you still lose money. The culprit? Bad timing, volatility crush, and exit strategies that fail when you need them most. 

Rob's Micro Day Trading class teaches a laser-focused intra-day options strategy built for today's volatile markets. This isn't about trading micro contracts—it's about precision timing that lets you get in, capture sharp directional moves, and exit fast before volatility destroys your profits. 

What makes this different? The IEME system (Identify, Enter, Manage, Exit) gives you a complete framework for high-probability setups. You'll learn Rob's process for spotting explosive tickers before they move, plus a crystal-clear exit strategy that locks in profits while other traders are left guessing. 

The best part? You can trade this with as little as one contract, making it accessible regardless of account size. No complex systems to master—just a defined, repeatable approach you can start using the same day. 

For just $29, you get the full live training, downloadable manuals, and 30 days of access to recordings. If you're tired of watching profits vanish due to poor timing, this focused strategy could be exactly what your trading plan needs. 

All trading involves risk of loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Why It Matters:

Blind bets are fun… if you’re into losing. Peter Lynch nails it here—trading without research is just financial roulette with better branding. Imagine sliding all your chips in because your horoscope said it was a “lucky moon phase.” That’s what you’re doing when you YOLO into tickers without checking balance sheets or earnings.

In the market, edge comes from information. In poker, it’s cards and odds. In both? Bluffing only gets you so far before the sharks smell blood. You wouldn’t play poker blind and expect to walk away rich—so why treat your brokerage account like a slot machine with Wi-Fi?

Lesson: know what you own. Or get used to donating to smarter traders.
