Chris’ note: Today, we’re zooming in on trading legend Larry Benedict’s “Money Shock” strategy.
These shocks happen on 32 pre-scheduled days of the year. They’re hand-selected by the federal government. And they lead to what Larry calls “manna for traders” – dependable surges in potential profits.
Since Covid started, Larry has recommended 153 winning Money Shock trades to his subscribers. That includes 89 winners since the bear market started in January last year. And 64 of them were triple-digit gains.
So I hope you’ll mark your calendar for next Wednesday, February 22, at 8 p.m. ET. During an online event, he’ll be showing why these 32 dates are critical for wealth. He’ll also reveal the Money Shock just around the corner… and how you can profit.

It’s hard to tell who to listen to these days…
Some pundits fill the airwaves with reports of economic woe. Others shout reasons to buy the dip.
I don’t pay attention to it…
I’ve been a trader for more than 35 years. Over that time, I’ve learned what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
That’s how the hedge fund I founded, Banyan Capital, made $95 million during the 2008 financial crisis.
It’s also how I went without a single losing year at Banyan between 1990 and 2010.
These days, I head up four advisories where my subscribers can follow my trade recommendations. And last year, all of them ended in the green. One of them, One Ticker Trader, was even up 240% on cash.
And one of the core strategies I use is based on what I call “Money Shocks.”
These are pre-scheduled days of the year – 32 in total – when stock market volatility surges.
And that’s what I look for as a trader.
Higher Volatility = Higher Potential Profits
This may sound strange if you’re a buy-and-hold investor. But traders love when the stock market is volatile, like it was last year.
If stock prices never moved, traders would have zero chance of making money. But when price swings – aka volatility – get more dramatic, the profit potential also rises.
This cuts both ways, of course.
When volatility is high, there’s also the potential for steeper losses. But if you have a strong risk management policy, like I do, you can keep your downside low.
That’s why I love to trade on Money Shock dates. They ignite an explosion of trading activity as hedge fund traders ramp up their activity.
This results in a spike in volatility. And where there’s heightened volatility, you’ll find great trading opportunities.
Going back to 1928, the average daily move for the S&P 500 is plus or minus 0.7%. A move greater than that – up or down – shows higher than average volatility.
On a Money Shock day last November, the S&P 500 shot up 5.5%.
And when the broad market rallies that much… individual stocks can go even further. On this occasion, Apple (AAPL) surged more than 8%. That’s 80x its average daily move of plus or minus 0.1%.
That’s why, if you’re going to trade anytime this year, these are your best opportunities to make outsized returns.
Your 2023 Money Shock Calendar
As you know, we’ve gone from every day being a champagne party to a brutal bear market.
That’s why these 32 days now rule the hedge fund world.
Money managers know they can’t make money on their buy-and-hold stocks. So, they’re switching to trading strategies.
And they focus on these days because that’s when volatility kicks up.
My team has been researching this phenomenon. When we looked at market moves on these days, we saw a roughly 20x upswing in volatility over non-Money Shock days.
That’s manna for traders…
It’s why I’ve put together a “Money Shock Calendar.” It tracks all 32 days. And it’s an easy way to follow which days have this heightened profit potential.
I’ve even created a simple download. It will populate your personal calendar with all 32 dates in 2023 for you.
I’ll show you more about what makes each of these days so important… and how to trade them… during my online event next Wednesday.
And you can download my calendar, for free, when you RSVP here with a single click.
