How We Made 50% in Three Weeks Playing Tech's July Pattern | Shah Gilani Chief Investment Strategist | There's an old Wall Street adage... "History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes." When it comes to seasonal stock patterns, the rhyme sounds more like a chorus - one that plays year after year for traders who know when to listen. SPONSORED | James Altucher: THIS is my top AI investment pick I’ve been called a “genius investor” by my fans… And an “eccentric millionaire” by some others because I make big predictions that tend to come true. Today, I’m making my boldest prediction ever. To show you I’m serious about helping you get in on this opportunity, I’m giving away one of my top 5 AI 2.0 stock picks – free. See my top 5 pick here now. | | Seasonal plays - strategically timed stock positions based on historical price action - rank among the most powerful weapons in a smart investor's arsenal. Why? They give you something most traders dream of... A statistical edge. That's exactly why I had my subscribers jump into TQQQ, the 3x leveraged ETF that mirrors the daily performance of the Nasdaq 100, at the start of July. And guess what? We're already sitting pretty. We closed one position for a handsome profit and are holding two more positions that are already in the money. Here's how I knew these trades would work out... Lather, Rinse, Repeat Seasonal trading involves recognizing repeatable patterns in the market. Certain stocks, sectors, and even entire indexes perform better during specific times of the year... - Retail stocks during the holiday season
- Energy stocks during the summer driving season
- Tech stocks when big product cycles launch.
These patterns aren't superstition - they're rooted in corporate earnings cycles, fiscal year trends, economic data releases, and investor sentiment. The beauty of these plays is their reliability. We're talking about years - sometimes decades - of data showing consistent, high-probability moves. When you align that historical precedent with current market momentum, you suddenly have the market equivalent of loaded dice. Tech stocks love the summer - especially July. Historically, the Nasdaq 100 has shown one of its strongest seasonal upswings during July. Add the fact that tech has led the market all year, fueled by AI spending, earnings surprises, and relentless institutional buying, and you have a recipe for explosive gains. TQQQ is a trader's dream when it comes to capitalizing on these moves. Why settle for the Nasdaq's single-digit percentage gains when you can triple your exposure to those moves with TQQQ? Sure, it's leveraged, which means you must manage your risk carefully, but when you're right - like we were - your profits pile up fast. A Plan for Profits When I told my subscribers to buy TQQQ at the start of July, I wasn't throwing darts at a board. The data showed us a strong historical performance window, the technical setup was bullish, and the market's tone was clear: the Nasdaq was primed to run. I preach this all the time: "You don't go broke taking profits." That's why we didn't just sit back and hope for the best. We went into July with a plan. As soon as TQQQ gave us a strong pop, we closed our first position for a handsome profit - north of 50% in only a few weeks - locking in a win while letting our other positions ride the ongoing wave higher. Now, we're holding two more TQQQ positions that are in the money. These trades aren't just looking good... they're the kind of trades that can define your summer portfolio returns. All of this came from following a seasonal strategy that gives us confidence and structure, instead of reacting to every headline or market hiccup. You might think that in today's headline-driven market - where every tweet, Fed announcement, or tariff threat sends stocks whipping around - seasonal patterns wouldn't hold up. You'd be wrong. The truth is, market noise is temporary, but seasonal patterns are structural. Preparation, not Prediction Big institutions, mutual funds, and pension managers all move capital in predictable cycles based on fiscal calendars, earnings periods, and historical market behavior. Seasonal trading lets us ride those same currents instead of swimming against them. That's why, even when the market feels choppy, these patterns can deliver consistent gains if you have the discipline to follow them. I've been in this game for decades, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's this: The market rewards preparation, not prediction. Seasonal plays like TQQQ in July work because we combine hard data with sharp execution. We don't chase trends - we anticipate them. We don't guess at entries and exits - we plan them. And we don't gamble with trades like TQQQ - we leverage them with conviction when the odds are stacked in our favor. That's why our TQQQ play has already paid off, and why I'm confident that our remaining positions will deliver even more profits as the month comes to a close. And when August hits... we'll be ready with our next seasonal trade. Cheers, Shah Want more content like this? | | | |
