How to profit if the Fed cuts – or raises – rates

How to profit from Trump’s Federal Reserve — whichever way rates move

According to legendary hedge fund trader Larry Benedict…

On September 16, one announcement from Trump’s new Fed could give prepared investors the chance to make 50%…

Even 100%…

In a matter of days or weeks.

And best of all, you may not need to predict whether interest rates are heading up or down.

President Trump spent months demanding lower interest rates.

He then chose Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve.

But on July 29, Warsh’s Fed held rates steady for the second meeting in a row.

Three Fed officials actually voted to raise them.

Trump later admitted to reporters:

“They want to keep rates up.”

Now the next decision is coming on September 16.

Larry Benedict believes that whatever the outcome, it could create a series of rapid opportunities in the same ticker.

He knows what to do because he has done it before.

When the Fed cut rates to zero in 2020, Larry positioned his readers in this ticker for a 62% gain.

Then, when the Fed signaled higher rates in January 2022, he used the same ticker to give readers the chance to make 117% in under a month.

Now Larry believes Trump’s new Fed could create the biggest series of opportunities he has seen in nearly 20 years.

And he has recorded a short briefing, revealing the ticker completely for free.

The president stood at a podium in Dallas on Thursday night and asked thousands of people to raise their right hands. Then he made them repeat after him: “I pledge, to the greatest president in the history of the United States, that loves us so much he can’t even breathe…”

The pledge continued: “That I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it any way. I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do.”

The Washington Post, CNN, ABC News, Forbes, and Reuters all confirmed the pledge with video and transcript. It happened at the first-ever Republican midterm convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The president was closing his speech on the convention’s final night.

Newsweek described it as a joke. The crowd did not treat it as one. They raised their hands. They repeated every word. They cheered. The video is online for anyone to see.

The president of the United States told a crowd to pledge loyalty to him and then told them to cheat. He said the words. They raised their hands. The cameras were rolling. And the machine just told you what it plans to do in November.

RIGHT HANDS RAISED. WORDS REPEATED. “CHEAT LIKE HELL.” HE SAID IT ON CAMERA. THEY CHEERED.

BREAKING

Civil Rights Groups Filed a Lawsuit to Stop Federal Agents from Patrolling Voting Sites

Civil rights organizations filed a lawsuit Friday to stop federal agents from patrolling polling places during the November midterm elections. Democracy Now reported the suit as part of its Friday headlines.

Federal agents at voting sites serve one purpose: to make certain people afraid to show up. The lawsuit argues that the presence of uniformed agents near polling stations is designed to suppress the vote in communities that are already being targeted by the government.

The same week the president told a convention crowd to “cheat like hell,” his government is sending agents to stand near the places where people vote. One hand tells its supporters to cheat. The other hand sends agents to make sure the other side stays home.

The machine does not just win elections. It patrols them.

The Government Sent a Somali Asylum Seeker to the Military Prison Camp at Guantánamo Bay

The government sent a Somali asylum seeker to Guantánamo Bay. Democracy Now reported the transfer Friday. The man came to the United States seeking protection. He was sent to a military prison camp that was built to hold people accused of terrorism after September 11, 2001.

Guantánamo was designed for a purpose: to hold people outside the reach of the courts. No trial. No jury. No timeline. The government put an asylum seeker there. A person who came asking for help was sent to a place built to hold people forever.

Twenty-five years after the towers fell, the prison camp that was built in the name of national security is now being used to hold a person who came to the country looking for safety. The machine does not close Guantánamo. It finds new uses for it.

The camp was built for one thing. It is now being used for another. That is how the machine works. It never gives back what it takes.

“I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do.”

Oil Hit $110 a Barrel as More Ships Were Struck Near the Strait — the Highest Level Since the Conflict Began

Oil surged toward $110 a barrel Friday after more ships were struck near the Strait of Hormuz. Democracy Now reported the price movement in its headlines. It is the highest oil has reached since the conflict began in March.

The strait remains closed. The Houthis now hold the entire Red Sea coastline near the Bab al-Mandab, a second global shipping passage. Two of the world’s most important trade routes are now either closed or contested. Bond yields hit their highest level since 2007 this week. The president said the costs will last through November.

Gas is now above $5 in most of the country. The war that the vice president says is “not a war” is adding more than a dollar to every gallon. The president promised the crowd in Dallas a $5,000 check if Republicans win in November. That check would cost more than $1.2 trillion… on top of a debt already above $40 trillion.

The machine tells supporters to cheat. It sends agents to the polls. It puts asylum seekers in a military prison. And it lets the cost of everything rise while promising a check that would add another trillion to the bill.

 Connecting the Dots 

▸ The Bigger Picture

Four stories from one weekend. The president stood in front of a convention crowd and made them pledge loyalty to him and promise to “cheat like hell” in the midterms. Civil rights groups sued to stop federal agents from standing near voting sites. The government sent an asylum seeker to a military prison camp that was built 25 years ago to hold people without trial. And oil hit $110 a barrel while two global shipping routes remained closed or contested.

The press covers each on its own page. A “convention speech.” A “voting rights lawsuit.” A “detention transfer.” A “market report.” But the thread is the same in every one.

The machine is preparing for November. It tells its supporters to cheat while it sends agents to the polls to make the other side afraid. It puts asylum seekers in a camp with no trial and no end date. It lets the cost of everything rise and promises checks it cannot afford. Every move is aimed at the same goal: win the midterms, hold power, and let the public absorb the cost. The pledge was said on camera. The agents are at the polls. The prison is open. The oil is at $110. And the election is 50 days away.

When the president says “cheat like hell” on camera and the agents show up at the polls the same week… the machine is not hiding its plans. It is announcing them. That’s the Seventh Floor.

They rely on the shadows.
It’s time to turn on the lights.
