Every Screen In America Was Pointed At The Wrong Stock.

Two companies reported that night. The whole market watched one of them. I traded the other one — and turned $40 into $250 by the next morning.

Wall Street watched Broadcom, because Broadcom is the AI trade and the AI trade is all anybody wants to talk about.

I watched the other one.

CrowdStrike beat on earnings. Beat on revenue. Raised guidance for the year. Announced a four-for-one split. Best quarter they had put up in years.

The stock fell ten percent.

That is why I do not trade the news. Nobody predicts the reaction. Nobody. The people who tell you they can are selling you something.

So I stopped trying. The options market had already priced the move before the bell. I put a forty dollar ticket exactly where that number pointed, and I closed it the next morning at two hundred and fifty.

Here is what that one night was worth at size:
$1,000would have turned into$6,250
$5,000would have turned into$31,250
$10,000would have turned into$62,500

Based on the actual fill — opened at $0.40, closed at $2.50. I traded one contract. Position sizing is your decision, and nobody should put an entire account into a single trade. Past results are not indicative of future performance.

↓  KEEP SCROLLING — EVERYTHING IS BELOW  ↓

AND HERE IS THE PART NOBODY BELIEVES

All Of This Happened In The Same Week.

THAT THURSDAY
THE DOW
+875
All-time record high. 51,561.
THE SAME DAY
CROWDSTRIKE
−10%
After a beat, a raise and a split.
THAT FRIDAY
THE NASDAQ
−4.2%
$1.8 trillion gone in one session.

A record high and a wipeout, seventy-two hours apart, with my trade sitting right in the middle of it.

I was in cash Thursday morning, before anybody knew what Friday was. I did not predict the record. I did not predict the crash. I did not need to.

So What Did I Have To Predict?

Good earnings?No.
The market's reaction?No.
An all-time high in the Dow?No.
Friday's crash?No.
One thing.

Where the stock could land, and what a ticket to that spot costs.

That is the flip. That is the whole game — and it comes around four times a year on every company in America.

THIS WASN'T LUCK

It Was The Calendar.

I knew that date was coming. So did you, if you had looked. It was published weeks in advance.

Every public company in America does the same thing. Four times a year, on a schedule anybody can read, they walk up to a microphone and hand the market a number.

What other strategy lets you know days, weeks, and months ahead of time exactly when you are going to take a trade?

The timing is clockwork. So is the setup — same structure every time, defined risk, cheap ticket, one night.

Most traders spend their whole lives hunting for a signal. I read a calendar.

I do not predict. I measure.

WHAT'S ON DECK

Right Now. This Window.

Every name below already has a report scheduled. Every one is a potential Earnings Flip.

THIS WEEK
CRWV · RKLB · AMAT · CSCO · SMCI · NBIS · LITE · COHR · SE · HIMS · ASTS · PLUG
LATER THIS MONTH · AFTER THE CLOSE
NVDA
  • CoreWeave reports Tuesday. CRWV showed up twice in my log this year — once at +247%, once at +210%. It is back on the board.
  • Rocket Lab is on there too. RKLB was +220% for me in May. Back again.
  • And Nvidia later this month, confirmed, after the close. The single largest scheduled volatility event on the calendar.

These are not predictions. They are appointments.

The market has already told us the date on every one of them. The only open question is whether you are positioned when it lands.

THE FULL LOG

Winners And Losers. All Of It.

Most people show you a highlight reel. Here is the whole thing.

Forty trades over the last six months. Twenty-two won. Eighteen lost. Every one of them a one or two day hold.

When one of these does not work, the ticket expires and that is the end of it. That is what defined risk means. The worst single day in that entire stretch cost seventy-nine dollars.

NOW HERE'S THE PART THAT MATTERS

One trade is a story. Forty trades is a record.

So take all of it — every winner and all eighteen losers — one contract at a time, start to finish, six months of it.

$1,000would have turned into$2,163
$5,000would have turned into$10,815
$10,000would have turned into$21,630
Every trade. Losses included. Six months.

From my live trade log, February 2026 through August 2026, at one contract per signal, scaled proportionally. Past results are not indicative of future performance. Results do not include commissions.

That is not a streak. Streaks run hot and then they die.

That is a calendar, and it refills every single quarter.

WHAT EARNINGS FLIPS ACTUALLY IS

The Whole System. In Your Hands.

I do not need to know if the earnings are good or bad. I do not need to know how the market will react, because nobody can. I follow my earnings flip criteria and I take the trade.

That is the engine. Here is the whole machine.

1

The On-Demand Earnings Flips Masterclass

With Don Kaufman  ·  Retail Value: $497
The On-Demand Earnings Flips Masterclass

The entire playbook. How I read the calendar, how I pick the landing zone, how I size the ticket, and how I tell an opportunity from a trap.

Watch it once for the full picture. Rewatch it before each season to lock it in. No extra monitors, no math degree.

It is simple once you know how. You are about to know how.

2

Earnings Flips Alerts

15 trades per earnings season, texted and emailed  ·  Retail Value: $4,800
Earnings Flips Alerts

When the window opens I tell you exactly what I am doing and why. It hits your phone and your inbox. No scrambling, no guessing which name or which day.

Fifteen a season is the sweet spot — enough action to matter, tight enough to keep the signal clean.

Every alert carries the structure, the strikes, the defined risk and the exit plan.

3

Quarterly Pre-Earnings Huddle

Live with Don Kaufman and Blake Young  ·  Retail Value: $500
Quarterly Pre-Earnings Huddle

Before every season we huddle live. I walk you through where I expect the juice, what I am stalking, and how I will prioritize it.

Bring your questions. This kills the “I missed it” feeling — you walk in warmed up instead of guessing.

4

The Earnings Flips Watchlist

My 100+ instrument universe, updated as the market changes  ·  Retail Value: Included
The Earnings Flips Watchlist

My living list of names already vetted for liquidity, spreads and fit. It is the hunter's map for every window.

TWO KINDS OF TRADERS

Which One Are You Going To Be?

An hour ago you thought earnings were something to survive. Now you know they are appointments, printed months in advance. You cannot unsee that.

The headline chaser

Watches whatever is loudest. Buys the story everyone is already talking about. Finds out what actually mattered afterward, on television, from somebody else.

The calendar trader

Knows the date before the crowd does. Shows up with defined risk and a cheap ticket. Is already in cash by the time the headline gets written.

LET'S GO TO WORK

Your Seat Is Below.

I am not going to pitch you anymore.

You have seen the trade start to finish. You have seen the full log, winners and losers. You have seen the names already on the board. You have seen the whole system and the guarantee.

The next report is on the calendar. I can tell you the name. I can tell you the day. I can tell you roughly what time.

The only piece I cannot tell you is whether you are going to be positioned for it.

So finish the form below and you are in. The masterclass unlocks the second you enroll. The watchlist is sitting there waiting. And the next alert I send goes to your phone instead of somebody else's.

Pick your option below and complete the form.
Takes about two minutes.
2
Everything unlocks immediately.
Masterclass, watchlist, and the first-trade walkthrough. Tonight, not next week.
