Hello, and welcome back to Capitol Gains Trader! Congress is currently out of session for their annual August recess. That gives us an opportunity to step back, reflect on our current portfolio, and make a few changes to help finish out the year strong. To that end, Matt Clark has five trade recommendations for you below.

“Mr. Volatility.” That’s the nickname I gave President Donald Trump back in early 2025, when readers and clients were sending in a deluge of questions about the road ahead… Would Trump’s DOGE initiatives succeed at cutting down needless government spending?

Less than two months ago, we added a few key Defense plays to our Capitol Gains Trader portfolio — including one called Mercury Systems (MRCY)… In the six weeks since then, our options play on MRCY has climbed more than 110%! Matt Clark is recommending you pare down that position, and he’s got all the details on that trade for you below.

It’s Matt here… Fly fishing South Carolina rivers taught me more about patience than any market ever has. But it also taught me this: once you’ve made a perfect cast and the fish takes — at some point, you stop playing it, and you land it. Today, we’re landing half of HAL.

Well, folks … today’s the day… For the past few months, Matt Clark and I have been paying very close attention to the defense sector. We even recommended a few key defense plays almost a year ago — knowing that President Trump’s transformative agenda would likely lead to escalating tensions at home and abroad.
