Folks, let's take a quick "gut check" on the state of the world... Since the start of 2026, we've watched the world fall into uncertainty.

You Need New Tools in This Newly Chaotic World By Ethan Goldman, analyst, Chaikin Analytics Folks, let's take a quick "gut check" on the state of the world... Since the start of 2026, we've watched the world fall into uncertainty. It started with the overnight mission to capture the now-former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. And continued not long after with President Donald Trump's saber-rattling over Greenland. Then, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran. This conflict prompted the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz... The ensuing chaos taught the world just how critical the Strait of Hormuz is to the global energy supply. As such, inflation in the U.S. is now much hotter than the Federal Reserve's 2% target. As it stands right now, it's anyone's guess when the war in Iran will end. While a peace deal seems close – we can't be sure when that will actually happen. And there's no guarantee any peace deal will stick. And a tenuous peace in the Middle East doesn't mean a new war won't start. In fact, future conflict in Cuba could be on the horizon as well. Headlines scream that the world is more volatile than ever. And there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. It's enough to keep anyone up at night... But despite fresh chaos and uncertainty every week – the markets are constantly setting new record highs. The State Street SPDR S&P 500 Fund Trust (SPY) grew 6% in the past month alone. And the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) surged 12% in that same time frame – double the gains of SPY. This growth came from the AI boom and the "rocket fuel" powering it. Investors know that this boost is far from permanent. And it's not wrong to fear what will happen after the mania... Luckily, there are ways to sleep soundly in any market environment.

That's the goal of the brand-new "Smart Money Super-Signal" from Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin and master trader Jonathan Rose.

Stansberry Research's First Hire Is Stepping Forward One Last Time The first analyst that Stansberry Research founder Porter Stansberry ever hired is going on camera one final time on Thursday, June 4, to deliver what he calls the most important buy recommendation of his career. Across 13 space-sector recommendations, both open and closed, his average return is 155%... One has even soared more than 1,100%. Over five years, his returns have beaten the top-10 hedge-fund managers we could find. After Thursday's broadcast, his research moves permanently behind closed doors. Reserve your seat here. You Can Make Money Even if the Markets Crash Our founder, Marc Chaikin, addressed a "new normal" in the markets last Tuesday. As he said then, it doesn't matter where the markets go from here. There are still plenty of ways to profit – even if stocks fall. In fact, Marc joined trader Jonathan Rose on camera for the first time ever last week to share more details on this strategy... This strategy centers around a critical "convergence" signal developed by Marc and Jonathan. And as our regular readers know – it builds on Marc Chaikin's "smart money" indicator. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator is a powerful tool. It allows us to track Wall Street's investment activity. But no signal is perfect... That's why the two traders teamed up. You see, Jonathan developed his own way to track Wall Street's trading habits. But it doesn't just show where the smart money is going. It also shows how much these big investors are convinced the trade will go their way. As you can imagine – this "convergence" trigger is incredibly strong. This signal can boost your average gains by up to 45%. And it'll steer you away from two-thirds of losing trades. So, you can see just how important Marc and Jonathan's message is... especially in an increasingly chaotic world. I hope you all managed to show up for this free event last Thursday. But there's no need to worry if you couldn't make it. We're replaying this event for anyone who missed it – for free. Folks, we won't keep this message up forever, so act fast.
