Market volatility has been intense heading into our first-quarter signals at the Kelly Letter. We’ve seen a mix of panic and FOMO, with the Nasdaq 100 jumping 3.4% just yesterday.

In this 9-min video, I cover why sticking to our system matters more than reacting to daily headlines, especially when events are this unpredictable.

Markets are volatile again, with the Iran war weighing on sentiment and pushing prices around. That’s when investors feel the strongest urge to pick the bottom.

But you don't need to catch exact market bottoms or tops to be successful. Getting close is good enough.

Our 9Sig plan has delivered a 34% annual return since January 2017 without trying to time exact tops or bottoms. The edge comes from discipline and rules, not prediction.

If you’re a Kelly Letter subscriber, this is a reminder to stay with the plan. If you’re not, you can learn more here:

In this video, I walk through the stock-market volatility driven by the Iran war, and why this is exactly the kind of environment our plans were built for.

Sentiment has swung to extreme fear on CNN’s Fear & Greed Index. Historically, that’s where opportunity begins. In the 2020 covid crash and the 2025 tariff selloff, our April signals aligned with market lows.

Kelly Letter subscribers should focus on our rules and discipline. Don’t second-guess, just execute. Our plans remove the need to predict and react emotionally. They want to capitalize on lower prices. Stick with our system. Stay on our schedule. Be prepared to act when the signals arrive.
