I get why you might be worried about the markets. All the headwinds blowing in the face of stocks, which we won't go into here, plus the prospect of thin holiday volume.
So what's the market going to do? Well, the short answer is: "It doesn't matter."
It doesn't matter where the market goes, so long as it just goes.
And because of my proprietary Money Calendar, which crunches a decade's worth of data on the market's top 250 stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), we've got a really good idea of which ETFs should be moving straight up over the next week or two.
Don't make a move without looking at this quick list first...

'Tis the Season to Rake It in Hand over Fist
Who couldn't use a little extra cash during the giving season, right? Or anytime, really?
Now, looking back on this year - we've seen pretty great success. The Money Calendar's found market patterns that have held true in eight out of last 10 months; we only saw deviation in February and October. Plenty of traders out there got pummeled with October's volatility, but folks following along with my recommendations were well protected with our trade setup.
MORE PEOPLE have walked on the Moon than have been in Tom Gentile's "War Room." Because what's inside is so sensitive, so potentially profitable. But on Dec. 6 at 1 p.m. EST, he's opening the door in a free online event. Click here...
But as we know, nothing in the market is guaranteed - not even the Money Calendar patterns. So, these deviations can be expected, and with proper risk management, you can still come out on top.
But importantly, just up ahead, I'm looking at a handful of bullish opportunities - moves that aren't easy to come by in a market like this. Just to give you an idea, around 77% of the stocks I'm tracking to make trade recommendations for my subscribers over the next two days are on pace to show gains.
But I'd like to share this ETF screen with everyone. These are the most profitable ones I'm looking at right now.
Keep a close eye on these ETFs as we move deeper into the holiday season. I think a huge chunk of the long-side profits you'll make between now and at least mid-December could be found right on this list.
I'm not just singing sentimental carols there, either.
Traditionally, this time of year sees stocks firm up. Some years are stronger than others; the Money Calendar shows positive December returns on the S&P 500 in 13 of the past 17 years.
Every year, my readers and I have been able to harness the extreme profit potential of this pattern to translate strong bullish stock moves into double- and triple-digit rainmaker trades - paydays of $1,057.20... $1,500... another $1,500... and $1,582.05
I'm fired up for the holidays, and I'm fired up for the change of scene as downside volatility takes a breather and the bulls come back into the market.
