Hey friend,

We told you to expect heightened volatility.

Now, volatility doesn’t mean stocks fall – it can mean huge upward reversals after large down days, which is what we’ve seen over the past few days.

## The Daily Direction

**Note:** All indexes closed higher yesterday, with the S&P 500 hitting a new record high. The direction of all indexes remains solidly in the green.

## The Daily Nugget

**_Volatility and uncertainty is the entry costs for participating in the market’s gains._**

Regardless of whether you’re an investor or trader, the stock market is one of the best – if not the best – way for you to build wealth.

If you’re not participating in the market, you’re missing out – period.

But the entry costs everyone has to pay to participate is volatility and uncertainty.

There’s no escaping it – no wishing it away…

So you might as well get used to it – and use it to your advantage.

Right now, we can’t be certain yet whether the market is entering a pullback or not.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t intelligently participate.

Because there are lots of gains still to be had right now – especially if you understand how to spot and target the market leaders.

The thing about market leaders is that retail traders can’t create them – only the market-moving institutional money can.

That’s why the best way to target the market leaders is to follow the tell-tale traces of institutional activity…

So you can look to jump in right before they send the prices soaring even more.
