Editorial Note: Yesterday’s FREE War Room Open House launch was explosive.

We locked in gains of 9.6%, 17.6%, 38.3%, and 53.2%.

A few of those winners only took an hour to see.

And with election day here, we believe the action is only going to get bigger and better.

With election day here and the results unlikely to be announced till tomorrow, expect a wild 24-to-48 hours in the markets.

And with so much uncertainty in the air, the best way to play things is to use it to your advantage.

For example, yesterday we were able to profit on two DIFFERENT trades, one which would benefit a Trump victory and another which would perform well if Harris won.

It all went down in our FREE War Room Open House.

So what were the two plays?

First, we took an open position in Nucor (NUE), a symbol we feel could do well if Trump wins.

Why?

Because Republican policies typically favor fewer regulations on private sector construction projects, which could increase steel demand.

In addition they generally support stronger trade measures against foreign steel, particularly from China.

Let’s be real – this election is bound to be a rollercoaster. One moment Trump might look like he’s pulling ahead, the next Harris could surge in the polls.

That’s just the nature of these races.

I saw this back-and-forth coming, which is why I planned these trades around capturing that volatility and uncertainty.

To be crystal clear: this wasn’t about betting on who’s going to win – not even close.

This was about quick, strategic moves to capitalize on those market swings.

And that’s exactly what we pulled off.

In fact, FREE Open House members had a chance to lock in +17% profits in less than an hour!

And the same thing happened in the ticker symbol Sunrun (RUN)..

We played this as a Pro-Harris stock because she has shown support for expanding renewable energy incentives, and is likely to continue and expand solar tax credits and rebates.

So we bought calls early in the morning and were able to peel them off for a modest gain in less than an hour.

Again, this was not a bet on which candidate I think will win…

But a bet that there will be volatility and uncertainty in both directions.

My plan for both trades was to sell the POP.
