The Real Risk Lurking in “Dead” Markets—And How I’m Trading It

Don Kaufman here.

Today's market was flatter than a Kansas highway.

Seriously—nothing was moving. Zilch. Nada.

We are all just sitting around, waiting for tariff news that may never show up.

But here's the thing nobody tells you:
When the market sleeps, danger doesn't go away—it hides.

And if you're not careful, you'll sleepwalk right into the guillotine when the news finally drops.

I break down exactly what's going on (and why you should care) in this week's video—but first, check out what I'm seeing:

Why "boring" markets can be the most dangerous — and how a single tweet could unleash a 200+ point S&P move (are you ready for it?)
The real signal behind a flat volatility skew (and why it means the market could go either way, fast)
Why the Fed knows nothing, does nothing, and why that's a bigger risk than you think
How open interest is building up like a snowball in a tight range... and what happens when it finally breaks
The silent killer: Why most traders get "punchy" and force trades when they should be taking their foot OFF the gas
Catapult trades, butterfly shots, and why I'm NOT loading up on big bets right now (plus, the tiny trades that actually worked this week)
The hidden meaning behind a $130 expected move (and why this market is screaming "danger" even when it looks calm)
