A recent poll conducted by CNBC reveals something that we’ve long known – and long been preparing for – inside The War Room.

You probably don’t want to hear this, but it’s important that you realize this going into 2022…

Because the trick I reveal below could be the difference between hitting big trading profits or suffering sizeable trading losses heading into a new calendar year.

Here’s the scoop…

According to CEOs across the market, the one big prediction that they can all agree on is that there will be MORE VOLATILITY in 2022.

If this is true…

Then it’s critical that you have an action plan that not only protects you against market volatility but also helps you to profit off it.

That’s exactly what I’m about to share with you today…

You see, nobody realizes this, but one of the very best ways to insulate yourself against volatility and downside market moves is by using one of the most boring companies on the market…

American Water Works (NYSE: AWK)

Yes, I’m talking about a water utility company.

American Water Works provides drinking water, wastewater and water-related services to 15 million people across 46 states.

It serves everything from residential/commercial customers, food/beverage providers, energy suppliers, large-scale manufacturers, miners, government buildings, schools, universities, and so on.

It operates 79 surface water treatment plants, 530 groundwater treatment plants, 150 wastewater treatment plants, and 53,200 miles of transmission, distribution and collection pipes.

I admit, a water utility company seems like a boring afterthought, but here’s what you need to know…

Starting in March of 2021 – and extending through a trade I just closed earlier this morning – moving into American Water Works any time the markets have moved aggressively to the downside has been the perfect safe-haven play. As of today, this strategy has led to 11 trades in The War Room… and all 11 of them were winners.

Action Plan: Not many investors know what to do when the markets start moving lower, but moving into a safe haven like American Water Works is now a tactical strategy to add to your trading arsenal.
