We’ve been through the “Trump rally,” the “Trump slump,” the “Trump bump,” and now… just Trump, as the first full trading day of the new administration comes to a close.

Space stocks, which are in the Million-Dollar Challenge portfolio, did well, with big moves underway.

Broadly speaking, many stocks responded well, with the big index up nearly 0.8% in very late trading. But, like I always say, we should be taking the long view here; a day’s gains are nice, but we want to keep our eyes on the months, quarters, and years ahead.

With that in mind, if Trump’s “drill baby, drill” soundbite becomes “drill baby, drill” as a matter of national policy, we can likely look forward to a very bullish run for stocks.

And not just American stocks – keep your eyes on Sector Leader Bullseye for a look at how Trump II could be great for Chinese shares. You read that correctly – stay tuned.

Even at this early stage, there are abundant bullish setups in our markets, which I’ll run you through tonight…
