We’ll briefly review what we covered yesterday before moving on to how we use market internals — VOLD, TICK, ADD, VIX and TLT — to help us confirm trades [tap to join him for the VIP Trade Room]!

I’m Emily Turner with Unfiltered Finance, and I’m back with another timely interview, this time with commodities expert Geof Smith!

The market’s navigating a period of intense uncertainty driven by geopolitical shifts and AI integration. Traditional safe havens — like gold and bonds — are no longer providing the reliable protection they once did. In our latest episode of Unfiltered Finance, Geof joined me to break down how to adapt your hedging strategy for this high-volatility environment.

Jeff emphasizes treating hedges as insurance rather than static allocations. By utilizing specific ETF options or preferred stocks, investors can protect their downside without abandoning the long-term growth potential of the market.

Here’s a look at the key strategies we discussed:

📉 Using index ETFs like SPY or QQQ to buy protective puts as a portfolio-wide insurance policy.

🛡️ Navigating options by selecting strikes 60-70 points out of the money with two-month expirations to manage theta decay and volatility.

🛢️ Diversifying into commodities and currency ETFs FXE or FXC to hedge against a devaluing dollar.

💼 Incorporating preferred stocks for retirees to secure dividends and interest with significantly lower volatility than common shares.

🔍 Utilizing tools like Finviz to scan for stocks trading above their 50-day and 200-day moving averages to identify bullish trends.

P.S. Shocking 0DTE Opportunity!

I recently went on camera to reveal how to turn micro-breakouts into shots with 50% or more returns in 60 minutes or less…

Without relying on laggards like the RSI.

You’re In for a Shocker!

The majority of trades expressed are based on historical signals from Alpha Zone Pro with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight unless otherwise stated. While Roger has used Alpha Zone Pro with great success in his premium Telegram channel, we can’t guarantee future results, and you may lose money. What you will see today are some of the best examples. There have been bigger winners, smaller winners, and losers. Since Alpha Zone Pro is a tool for traders and not a trading service, profits and performance will vary among users.
