The Best Trade You'll Make In 2026 Dear Reader,
I build trading systems for a living.
It’s what I do. I’m able to stay sane in a truly crazy market because I reduce my investment decisions to a clear set of rules. I take my emotions and my ego out of the equation and trust the system.
It hasn’t let me down yet.
Today, I’m going to give you a look under the hood of one of my very favorite trading strategies. I’m doing a LIVE workshop today at 1:00 PM EST where I’ll show you the ins and outs of my Infinite Momentum system. It’s the trading strategy I used to triple the S&P 500’s return last year while largely steering clear of the mega-cap names that have dominated the news over the past several years.
Here’s a preview of what I’ll be covering: - I’ll be covering my latest prediction: the Magnificent 7’s “obliteration” in 2026 (and what I recommend buying instead…)
- I’ll present my solution to the biggest problem investors face in 2026 (it’s not what you probably think it is) …
- And I’m revealing the five “pass/fail” filters of my Infinite Momentum system, giving you real insight into how the system works and how it helps me avoid potential landmines.
The workshop is free to attend, so watch your inbox later today for the link. Until then, let me share with you an excerpt of last week’s issue of Infinite Momentum. Normally, this is something that would only be available to paid members, but I’m making it available to you today to give you an idea of how the system works and why I believe value stocks are poised to beat the pants off of the Mag 7 this year. Enjoy! | Something's brewing in Washington that hasn't happened in over a century. Four-time Emmy winner John Burke just exposed it in a stunning interview with futurist Mark Jeftovic. 'No one alive has seen anything like this before,' Jeftovic warns. 'The last time it happened was more than 100 years ago.' The trigger? Trump's most controversial move yet. If they're right, America's $38 trillion national debt could essentially vanish. Certain assets could skyrocket to unthinkable levels. And the entire economy could enter uncharted territory. What happens when the world's largest economy goes 'hyper?' Burke's interview reveals a blueprint for what's coming—and how prepared Americans can position themselves now, before it's too late. Watch the free interview now before this window closes. | The Pendulum Swings I might sound like your grandfather when I say this, but it stands to reason that buying something for less than what it’s worth is a good way to make money!
That’s the gist of value investing… and it works. Even today, in a FOMO market where the only “risk” most investors seem to appreciate is the risk of missing out on the action.
In case you missed it amidst all the AI hype, a subtle shift recently happened in the stock market. Value stocks… quietly and without fanfare… started to outperform growth stocks about three months ago. The iShares S&P 500 Value ETF (IVE) is up about 4% since the beginning of November.
And the iShares S&P 500 Growth ETF (IVW)?
Flat.
It’s gained nothing over the past three months.
Three months is a short window, of course. But I believe we’re seeing the beginning of a longstretch of outperformance from value stocks. That’s good for us.
The Infinite Momentum model is built on the idea of buying cheap stocks that are trending higher. It’s worked for us even in a market completely dominated by growth. Last year, our Tech Titans portfolio outperformed the benchmarks and the vaunted Mag 7 by around 3-to-1.
If our value-focused strategy can outperform even in a growth-dominated market, then I’m excited to see what it’s capable of when we actually have the wind in our sails and value stocks are leading.
It may sound hard to believe that value can outperform growth for any meaningful length of time, given that the opposite has happened over the past 10 years: growth (IVW) is up 355%, while value (IVW) has gained only 157%.
But here’s the thing.
Growth-dominated markets don’t last forever. Eventually, investor enthusiasm for growth reaches a fever pitch and valuations become unrealistic. Then the pendulum swings back toward value.
We saw this after the last great bull market in tech …
Once the 1990s tech bubble burst, the market as a whole went through a brutal three-year bear market. But once the S&P 500 found a bottom in March 2003, growth stocks were slow to recover. It was value stocks that recovered first, going on to outperform growth stocks 109% to 66% over the next four years. The Data Speaks for Itself I’m not cherry-picking dates to make an argument. The data here speaks for itself, which is why value is one of the three core factors I used to build the Infinite Momentum model. Long-time readers know the other two are quality and momentum.
University of Chicago professors Eugene Fama and Kenneth French kicked off the research on the value factor in 1992, proving in their groundbreaking paper “The Cross Section of Expected Stock Returns” the existence of a premium in so-called “value” stocks. Using market data back to 1926, they found that value stocks (along with small caps) earned higher average returns than the broader market.
This paper did more than validate the real-world experience of Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham and countless other veteran value investors. It created factor investing as we think of it today. My Infinite Momentum model wouldn’t exist without the research revolution started by Fama and French.
Now, the outperformance you get from a pure value approach is notoriously lumpy, which is why I pair the value factor with my proprietary momentum and quality factors. By focusing on cheap stocks that are also backed by high-quality businesses and that are also already trending higher, we sidestep potential value traps – or stocks that appear cheap on paper but just continue to get cheaper because their businesses are deteriorating.
Buying a stock purely because it’s cheap will probably make you decent money. But further reducing the opportunity set to good companies with healthy stock price action is really the secret sauce.
As I’m sure you can tell … I’m wildly excited about Infinite Momentum’s prospects this year. We crushed the market in 2025, and the conditions are lining up for us to have an even better 2026.
