More Chaos Looms: Don’t Fear It… Trade It

Look at this chart…

It shows the 5-year VIX index. That’s a measure of expected implied volatility… better known on the street as the “fear index.” Whenever investors get spooked, the VIX spikes. 

Earlier this year it reached levels not seen since the COVID crash in 2020.

This spike in volatility caught most off guard. Not us here at Freeport Society, and not our Navigator readers either.

We know that we’re living in an Age of Chaos. 

We know that it’s part of President Trump’s brand to stoke the chaos.

And we know we’re only in the early innings of what promises to be a long ball game.

So rather than fear it or – worse yet – ignore it… we embrace it. We trade it.

That’s why I pulled volatility wrangler Jeff Clark into the hot seat for a chat today.

I last spoke with Jeff in January. Back then, he was preparing for President Trump’s inauguration. He told me at the time that he expected the next 100 days to follow would be some of the most volatile we’ve ever seen.

But he also insisted they would be some of the most profitable we’ve ever seen if we played it right. 

He was right on both counts. 

The trade war ushered in insane volatility. And Jeff was able to turn that volatility in 19 winning trades, three of which were triple-digit winners.

Of course, that’s nothing new. Jeff has made a career out of navigating volatile markets. He’s accurately predicted every major volatility spike this century: the 2008 crisis, the COVID crash, the 2022 bear market, and the tariff scare in 2025. 

Each time, he’s helped readers trade that volatility successfully.

So, what’s Jeff see coming down the pipeline? 

You guessed it. MORE volatility, though this time it has nothing to do with tariffs or trade. He sees a rumbling in the bond market that could potentially turn the world upside down.

Of course, he’ll also show you how to trade it. 

Watch today’s interview to hear all the details.
