3 trades for when the AI bubble finally pops

Don Kaufman here.

The government just bought Intel. I'm shorting it.

Look, I've seen this movie before.

During the financial crisis, Uncle Sam swooped in to "save" major companies with big equity stakes. The result? A few days of artificial bidding... then reality set in.

Intel's getting the same treatment. 10% government stake announced, everyone's cheering, and I'm loading up on puts.

But here's what's really bothering me about this market right now...

70 stocks are DOWN in the S&P 100 today. Yet the index is GREEN.

That's not a healthy breadth. That's dangerous concentration. And when this AI trade finally cracks - which I think we're about to see - it's going to take everything down with it.

I just shared three specific trades on Schwab Network that position for exactly this scenario:

Trade #1: Exxon Mobil Put Spread
The energy giant rocketed from 106 to 115 way too fast. With nonfarm payrolls hitting Friday, any economic slowdown is going to slam oil services.

Trade #2: McDonald's Gamma Squeeze
Yeah, I'm actually going BULLISH here (shocking, I know). When volatility spikes, money runs to safety. McDonald's is approaching all-time highs near 326, and if we break through, dealer gamma could rocket us higher.

Trade #3: Intel Reality Check
Government "help" is already priced in. What happens when the euphoria wears off?

But here's the bigger picture that's keeping me up at night...

Nvidia is flirting with that critical 170 level. If it breaks, the entire AI trade - which has been carrying this market - could unravel fast.

The volatility isn't going anywhere. In fact, I think it's just getting started.

Watch my complete breakdown of all three setups + the AI trade warning

I walk through the exact mechanics of each trade, the specific levels I'm watching, and why I think we're at a major inflection point for the entire market.

Don't get caught holding the bag when the music stops.

To your success,

Don Kaufman

P.S. "The clock was ticking."

That one line won a $230,000 court case...

And exposed what might be Wall Street's last dirty secret.

Hidden timers buried deep in the market. Moving billions every day.

I call them Shadow Clocks.

And they're ticking right now... shifting money from people who don't know they exist to those who do.

September 4th at 2PM EST, I'm going LIVE to expose these timers for the first time ever.

The clocks don't wait for anyone.

Neither should you.
