Your Access to My Personal Portfolio

April 06, 2026 

Happy Monday! 

I hope you had a wonderful long weekend. 

Q2 didn’t tiptoe in — it’s kicked the door open. 

  • Oil has been front and center. Oil spiked above $110/barrel triggering a global selloff, Dow dropped ~545 points in one session, then the markets ripped higher on ceasefire hopes just days later.
  • Strait of Hormuz disruption. Trump has given Iran a Tuesday nightdeadline to reopen the shipping routes. Trump and his military officials will be holding a press conference shortly.
  • Earnings & CPI are coming in hot, which could determine whether this bounce has legs or if the next leg down is already beginning.

I’ve been through shutdowns, bubbles, recessions, and rallies that no one saw coming. Each time, the traders who stayed grounded in structure (not emotion) came out ahead. 

Watching Opportunity Take Shape 

Right now, my focus is on how money is rotating beneath the surface. Some sectors are cracking under pressure, but others… like industrials and materials (commodities, metals) are powering through. 

The same volatility that scares most investors is what creates opportunity for disciplined traders. 

Inside Schaeffer’s Master Portfolio, I track those transitions in real time. 

Every position I open or close comes with a full explanation of what I’m seeing — technical setups, sector trends, and sentiment shifts. 

You can mirror my trades exactly, pick and choose based on your own comfort level, or simply watch how I manage exposure when markets turn messy.

My approach isn’t about chasing daily headlines or trying to predict short-term swings. It’s about maintaining a clear, disciplined framework that keeps me on the right side of long-term trends. 

That’s what I share every week inside Schaeffer’s Master Portfolio — real positions, real analysis, and the same steady process I’ve relied on for decades. 

Proven Moves in Today’s Market

Several of my current positions are still running strong — a reflection of how disciplined, trend-based investing can pay off when you let winners work: 

  • +201.5% on General Electric (GE)
  • +159.3% on Interactive Brokers Group (IBKR)
  • +473% on GE Vernova (GEV) 

These aren’t quick trades or hypothetical examples. 

They’re current, real holdings inside Schaeffer’s Master Portfolio that showcase how I identify strength early… then let time and structure do the heavy lifting. 

My approach blends the same research-driven principles that have guided Schaeffer’s Investment Research since 1981 — a focus on data, sentiment, and disciplined risk management. 

That process helps me spot opportunity before the mainstream narrative catches up… and it’s the same lens I apply to every move in this portfolio. 

Here’s what’s included: 

  • 24/7 visibility into my live portfolio — even when the market’s closed.
  • Real-time email alerts detailing every new position with ticker, shares, price, and commentary.
  • An average of 10–15 open positions at any time, with 1–2 new setups added monthly.
  • Commentary that explains not just what I’m doing, but why… giving you insight into my long-term decision process. 

Mirror the portfolio exactly, apply your own weightings to fit your goals, or use it as a learning tool to sharpen your own strategy… it’s up to you how you want to use this information. 

Step Into My World For Cheap… 

Normally, to gain access to my portfolio for an entire 12 months, it would cost $995. Right now, I’m offering you the chance to gain access for only $95. 

Plus, I’m throwing in 6 months free. Meaning, that small fee will provide full 24/7 access for the next 18 months.

I don’t open up spots often. Maybe twice a year. Don’t miss it, come join me…

♟ The Market Punished UPS for Making the Right Decision. Here’s Your Payoff.

View in browser

“Buying below $100 represents the best Buy Low opportunity in this market today.”

Bryan Bottarelli, Co-Founder, Monument Traders Alliance 

Bryan Bottarelli

Dear Reader,

FedEx is up 30% over five years. UPS is down 40%.

Same industry. The S&P ran 68% in the same stretch. That spread is the story.

Here is why it happened.

UPS made a deliberate choice to walk away from Amazon.

Amazon accounted for nearly 12% of its revenue, but it was low-margin volume that looked good on the top line and killed margins everywhere else. UPS cut it.

At the same time, they absorbed one of the most expensive Teamsters labor contracts in the company’s history. The market punished the stock hard and kept punishing it while FedEx restructured and ran.

UPS sat there.

That punishment is now priced in. The leaner, higher-margin business UPS is building starts showing up in the second half of 2026. The market is pricing in a problem that is already over.

Consider this…

At $97.22, UPS trades at 13.4x forward earnings, a valuation it has not seen in over a decade. It has raised its quarterly dividend for 16 consecutive years. At this price, the yield is nearly 7%. You are getting paid to own it while you wait for the recovery.

So far this year, UPS is flat. The selling has stopped. The question is whether the bottom is already in.

Buying below $100 represents the best Buy Low opportunity in this market today.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

After bottoming last October at around $85, UPS is back in a recovery move that could retest the 2026 high at $115. If that breaks, the next stop is $130. Below $100, you are getting the recovery move and locking in a nearly 7% yield while you hold.

You are not speculating on a bounce. You are getting paid to wait for the move.

You won’t find a better setup in this market right now.

The 1934 playbook

APRIL 06, 2026   |   READ ONLINE

In 1934, the government executed a legal maneuver that transferred billions in wealth overnight.

Most Americans had no idea it was coming.

A small group who saw it early walked away wealthy.

Everyone else paid for it.

Trump has the same legal authority today. Advisors close to the administration believe he’s considering using it. If he does, the transfer happens fast — and the window to be on the right side of it is already closing.

We put together a free report on exactly what this move is, why the timing points to now, and the one step ordinary Americans can take to position themselves before it happens.

It costs nothing. Takes 30 seconds to request.

The people who moved early in 1934 didn’t have a warning.

You do.

THE SHORTEST WAY TO A RICH LIFE

Top Three Musk Stocks in 2026

Rachel Gearhart, Publisher, The Oxford Club 

Rachel Gearhart

Dear Reader,

Stocks that become suppliers to Elon Musk’s companies have shown extraordinary gains.

Like Contemporary Amperex Technology… Up 1,952% since 2019.

EchoStar… up 625% in just 9 months!

Graham Corporation… Up over 1,100% in less than four years.

Or Carpenter Technology… up 2,100% in 5 and a half years!

And according to Dr. Mark Skousen, three new Musk launches could set off a “wave of gains” in April.

Especially for three specific stocks.

He says these stocks could 10X in a year.

That’s why he’s holding a special event – Musk’s Master Plan X – on April 8 at 2 p.m. ET.

Good investing,

Artemis II to Smash Apollo 13 Record

Read Online  |  April 6, 2026  |  E-Paper  | 🎧 Listen

Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.

— G. K. Chesterton

Ivan Pentchoukov
National Editor

Good morning! It’s Monday. Here are today’s top stories:

  • 🚀 The four Artemis II astronauts will today break the distance record set by Apollo 13 for the farthest humans have traveled from Earth. This will happen during their seven-hour lunar flyby, when the astronauts will also get to enjoy views of the moon’s far side, which has never been seen before with human eyes. 
  • President Donald Trump has given Iran until Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET, to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, or the U.S. might launch strikes on power plants and bridges. The ratcheted-up threat was made after Trump announced the rescue of a second U.S. aviator downed in Iran. 
  • For many firefighters, the fires outside are not in fact the deadliest threat. It’s the invisible toxins and carcinogens from the flames slipping through their gear, burrowing into skin and lungs. After losing two fellow firefighters to cancer, a Phoenix deputy fire chief decided to build a solution
  • 🍵 The push to prevent heart disease earlier in life has led to more testing–often in visits too short to fully weigh the trade-offs.

Artemis II Astronauts Set for Historic Lunar Flyby: What to Know

Today, the crew of Artemis II will swing around the moon and head back to Earth in a seven-hour lunar flyby.

The crew is scheduled to wake up at 10:50 a.m. ET, when a historic day of firsts, records, and opportunities for discoveries lay before them.

They will be the largest crew yet to fly around the moon, and they are expected to set a new distance record for the farthest human beings have ever traveled from the surface of the Earth. They are also expected to observe areas of the lunar surface that have never been seen firsthand by human eyes, and a complete solar eclipse, before lunar gravity essentially throws their spacecraft on a course back home.

NASA’s live coverage is expected to begin at 1 p.m. ET. Here is what to know about the day’s events.

1:30 p.m.—The crew will have a conversation with the science officer in Mission Control for final review and solidification of the surface targets for observation and other objectives.

2:45 p.m.—Artemis II’s seven-hour lunar flyby will officially begin.

Integrity’s course will send the crew behind the moon, passing on looker’s left, and swinging around to reemerge on looker’s right.

From their vantage point, the crew will be able to see elements of both the near and far sides, with about 20 percent of the far side illuminated, with plenty of opportunities to see things for the first time with human eyes.

The crew will work in pairs, observing the moon in 55-to-85-minute shifts due to Integrity’s limited window space.

Juliane Gross, Artemis sample curation lead who was tasked with helping choose sites targeted for observation, praised in-person human observation as being best for being able to provide immediate descriptions compared to robotic spacecraft. 

“The human brain is so good at looking at a surface and immediately picking out … those changes in the blink of an eye,” she told The Epoch Times. “Orbiters and spacecraft, they will take months and years to get their data.”

Lunar scientists told The Epoch Times that there are spots on both the far and near sides that they are excited to observe.


On the far side, those targets include Orientale Basin and an older basin called Hertzsprung. On the near side, Gross said she was most excited to observe the Aristarchus Plateau. (More)

IRAN WAR

  • Iranian officials said the country would carry out more forceful attacks on targets if the U.S. and Israel target the country’s civilian infrastructure in an apparent response to warnings issued by President Donald Trump over the weekend.
  • Trump told Fox News that the United States had tried to arm Iranian protesters and sent them guns via Kurdish groups, but that he believes the Kurds kept the guns for themselves.

LATEST NEWS

  • A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a requirement that colleges submit admissions data to show they are not considering race, calling the rollout “rushed and chaotic.”
  • A Chinese man has pleaded guilty after trying to board a flight while carrying trade secrets from his Kansas-based employer, an aviation company, to China, according to federal prosecutors.

WORLD

  • Pope Leo XIV shared a message of peace in his first Easter Mass as pontiff, calling on nations in global wars to lay down their weapons and seek peace through dialogue.
  • China and Pakistan’s peace plan reflects the Chinese regime’s drive to secure energy supplies from Iran. Still, experts say Beijing lacks the clout to mediate the conflict, and its support for Tehran will likely overshadow the upcoming Trump–Xi summit.

Starting Statins: New Guidelines Aim at Prevention but Create More Patients

You can now be treated for heart disease decades before you have symptoms.

You go in for a routine physical, feeling healthy. Your cholesterol comes back a little high, not alarming, just above the cutoff. In the past, your doctor might have said, “Let’s recheck next year.”

Under the 2026 cholesterol guidelines, you may be sent for more tests. You could leave with a statin, not because you are sick today, but because you might develop heart disease in 30 years.

The goal is to push prevention earlier and make it more precise, treating risk long before symptoms appear. Supporters say this “lower-for-longer” approach could prevent tens of thousands of heart attacks and strokes by catching disease earlier.

For many otherwise healthy adults, especially those in their 30s and 40s with modestly elevated cholesterol, the shift is far more complicated. The benefits are distant and statistical. The burdens—more tests, more appointments, a daily pill that could last decades—arrive now.

For decades, decisions about cholesterol treatment hinged on a simple question: What is this person’s risk of a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years? The answer usually mattered most in midlife.

Now, clinicians are being asked to consider longer-term risk—sometimes starting in a person’s 30s.


The 2026 guidelines add layers to what was once a simpler decision. Instead of focusing mainly on short-term risk, doctors are asked to calculate both 10- and 30-year risk, weigh “risk enhancers,” such as family history or inflammation, and, in some cases, add tests such as lipoprotein(a) or coronary calcium scans.
