Managing Editor’s Note: If you’re pouring money into traditional AI stocks, you could be making a huge mistake. AI expert Jeff Brown and Wall Street quant Jason Bodner recommend moving your money into a “hidden” asset class – before early March. Already, they’ve used “secret” AI stocks to deliver gains like 172%, 258%, 1,077%, and even 32,012%. And during their summit on Wednesday, February 25 at 8 p.m. ET, they’re revealing a system for spotting these plays early… plus giving away the names of top picks – free.

How to Trade a Whipsawing Market By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict Many people are having a hard time making sense of the markets. The mega tech stocks that drove last year’s rally are floundering. Several, including Microsoft (MSFT) and Palantir (PLTR), are trading below their 200-day moving averages. Yet on the other hand, industrial stocks like Caterpillar (CAT) and Deere (DE) have been flying. Their recent highs represented 38% and 34% respective gains this year alone. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq was recently down just 4.9% off its all-time high. And the S&P 500 (SPX) has been meandering sideways. It has been trading in a 200-point (2.85%) range for most of the year. Reconciling all that and figuring out a trading plan can be complicated. But a few simple tips should help you get a better handle on the market… | Recommended Links

| Trending or Ranging? When markets are whipsawing, it’s easy to get pulled into a false breakout move. Even more so after a runaway bull market… Folks are accustomed to “buying the dip” and riding the market’s next move higher. But that all goes out the window when markets run out of steam. You need to refocus on maintaining discipline instead. First, identify whether the stock you’re looking to trade is rangebound or trending. That determines what type of strategy you should use. Take SPX, for example. With a range-bound market, there’s little prospect of success utilizing a breakout strategy. Trying to trend trade in a range-bound market is a surefire way to lose money and frustrate yourself. Instead, consider trades around the upper and lower levels of the trading range. If SPX trades at the low end of its range (a support level), I’d look for a momentum reversal higher as a potential entry point to a long trade. Buying a call option would give me access to a rebound while limiting my risk. I’d aim to take profits as SPX approached the upper level of its trading range (or exit earlier if buying momentum wanes). On the flip side, if we see a reversal in momentum around the upper range (a resistance level), we could consider buying a put option to capture a reversal down. I’d exit as SPX approaches support or earlier if there’s an upswing in buying momentum. And there are a few other factors to consider too… Tune in to Trading With Larry Live

You’re going to see a lot more swings. So you need to hunker down and focus on the basics. That means only entering trades with strong setups and strictly adhering to stop losses. You also want to position size carefully. I’m happy to cut the size of my positions when conditions get dicey. That way, if I get it wrong, my downside is far more limited. It’s much harder for losses to snowball into something much bigger. You also need to lower your expectations. In a whipsawing market, you may not get the same type of runaway winners you can in a trending market. And above all, you need to identify when the odds aren’t in your favor. At those times, be prepared to sit things out until better opportunities come down the pipe. Market characteristics have changed in 2026. We’re no longer in a full-steam-ahead bull market. Be prepared to quickly take your profits off the table. And while risk management is always vital, these are the moments you can’t afford to let your discipline slip. Happy Trading, Larry Benedict
