The Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets in FLexible EXchange Options (FLEX Options) that reference the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (the Underlying ETF). FLEX Options are exchange-traded options contracts with uniquely customizable terms. Although guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (the OCC), FLEX Options are still subject to counterparty risk with the OCC and may be less liquid than more traditional exchange-traded options. Due to the unique mechanics of the Funds strategy, the return an investor can expect to receive from an investment in the Fund has characteristics that are distinct from many other investment vehicles. It is important that an investor understand these characteristics before making an investment in the Fund.

RTX's Pratt & Whitney Business Collaborates With MTU Aero Engines To Expand GTF Overhaul Capacity Across all Of MTU's Facilities

On Monday, April 7th, U.S. markets closed mixed; U.S. stocks dropped Monday as fears of economic slowdown and rising inflation grew, sparked by President Trump&#8217;s stance on tariffs against China.
The S&amp;P 500 and Dow hit new lows before briefly rallying, only to fall again. Market volatility soared, and investors lost confidence in Trump&#8217;s trade strategy, leading to massive losses and uncertainty.
In economic data, the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index slipped by 0.7% in March compared to the previous month, continuing the same rate of decline seen in February.
Most S&amp;P 500 sectors fell Monday, led by real estate, materials, and utilities, while communication services and tech stocks ended higher.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.91% to 37,965.60, the S&amp;P 500 dropped 0.23% to 5,062.25, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.10% to close at 15,603.26.
Global markets rebounded Tuesday after heavy losses, with Asian, European, and U.S. stocks stabilizing amid hopes for trade talks. Despite some optimism, volatility remained high as tariff tensions persisted.

After a volatile Monday on Wall Street, stock futures improved in after-hours trading, offering a break after a day of <a href="http://Tesla, Nvidia, Apple And Other 'Magnificent 7' Peers Tank In Monday Premarket: What's Going On?">intense whiplash</a>. The Dow, <a href="http://S&amp;P 500 Officially Sinks Into Bear Market: Here's What Investors Need To Know">S&amp;P 500</a>, and Nasdaq-100 futures each rose more than 1%, recovering from previous chaos sparked by reinvigorated U.S.-China trade tensions. A morning rally, triggered by conjecture that new tariffs might be delayed, briefly pushed the S&amp;P 500 up 7% from its low. But <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44670193/wall-street-turmoil-deepens-as-trump-threatens-massive-china-tariffs-bitcoin-wobbles-at-78k-whats-driving-markets-monday">markets changed course</a> after the Trump administration confirmed that the tariff hike on Chinese goods was still in place, <a href="http://China 'Resolutely Opposes' Trump's 50% Tariff Threat, Vows Countermeasures As Trade Tensions Jolt Markets: 'Will Fight To The End'">leading China to threaten further retaliation.</a>
As<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44661978/bill-ackman-blames-market-collapse-on-tariff-timing-says-trump-advisor-should-be-fired-now-predicts-a-lot-more-than-5-dip"> investors continue to scramble</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/04/44662164/us-stock-futures-slump-following-massive-tariff-induced-selloff-experts-warn-of-a-brewing-great-depression-like-pattern">headlines amplify the panic</a>, personal finance expert Dave Ramsey's advice from a stock market crash a few months ago can provide some useful insight on how to handle the wild ride.
What Happened: During a call on The Ramsey Show, a listener asked Ramsey how to respond to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44657155/buffetts-warning-as-stocks-plunge-the-light-can-at-any-time-go-from-green-to-red">collapsing stock market</a>. Ramsey quipped, "Cue the whining, screaming and gnashing of teeth that everyone's going to die and we're all going to retire and have to eat Alpo."
Ramsey stressed that dramatic headlines and market swings are not a new phenomenon—and not a reason to abandon healthy investing habits. While many people are tempted to pull money out or pause contributions during ambiguous times, Ramsey doubled down on a contrary approach: stay consistent, keep investing, and don't let emotions rule your decisions.

Why It Matters: Ramsey's core philosophy centers on long-term discipline. He cast aside the idea of day trading or trying to time the market, saying, "I don't do anything… because I don't day trade." Instead, he says investors should stay steady no matter what the market is doing. "I just keep buying all the time… every month I just keep buying."
Ramsey's Advice For A Volatile Market
When stocks drop, he views it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44677995/jim-cramer-says-market-rebound-feels-strange-after-nine-nights-of-losses-things-arent-better-as-stock-futures-surge-over-1">buying opportunity</a>, not a crisis. "When it goes down I'm going to smile 'cause I just bought it on sale."
To avoid getting swept up in the hype, Ramsey intentionally<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44671308/stock-market-surge-evaporates-as-headline-roulette-plagues-traders-fake-news-white-house-says-in-response-to-90-day-tariff-pause"> protects himself from the noise</a>. When asked if he follows the news, his answer was straightforward: "No, I don't watch the news." For him, the less emotional chatter, the better.
Automation is another crucial part of his strategy. "Set my 401k contributions… they happen automatically. I'm not thinking about it," he explained. And as for keeping an eye on his investments? "I look at mine once or twice a year… if I'm doing some kind of year-end final."
Ramsey also encouraged listeners to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/25/04/44674343/these-5-sp-500-winners-held-strong-in-q1-can-the-rally-continue"> hold on to a long-term perspective</a>. "Ten years from now, you won't even remember this crap. Ten years from now you won't even know who was president," he said.
In a market climate where fear can travel faster than facts, Dave Ramsey wants investors to stay steady. Geopolitical tensions, tariff threats, or sudden selloffs are all part of the emotional rollercoaster of the market, and, according to Ramsey, not a reason to abandon your plan.
"Short term the stock market going up or down is a bunch of drama queens… They run on emotion on a daily basis," he said.

Teladoc Health Introduced Its Next Generation Cardiometabolic Health Program To Improve Population Health And Prevent The Progression Of Diabetes, Hypertension And Obesity

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has seen his net worth plunge below the $300 billion mark. This significant decrease is linked to the ongoing backlash against Tesla and the implementation of new tariffs.
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s net worth dipped below $300 billion on Monday, a level not seen since last year. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index indicated that Musk&#8217;s wealth was $298 billion at Monday&#8217;s market close. His net worth has shrunk by nearly $135 billion, or 31%, since the beginning of the year.
Musk&#8217;s net worth last exceeded $400 billion in December, making him the first person to achieve this feat. His wealth hadn&#8217;t gone below $300 billion since November. The decline in Musk&#8217;s wealth is primarily due to Tesla&#8217;s falling share price, which has declined almost 40% in 2025. Musk and Tesla have been under intense scrutiny due to Musk&#8217;s advisory role to President Donald Trump, especially in the administration&#8217;s push for government efficiency through the DOGE office.

Why It Matters: The recently announced tariffs by the Trump administration, which have rattled financial markets, also impacted Musk and Tesla&#8217;s wealth. Despite his allegiance to Trump, Musk has publicly expressed his opposition to these tariffs. The billionaire even criticized Trump advisor Peter Navarro over his tariff decisions. 
The imposition of new tariffs by President Trump, including a 10% charge on all imported goods and a 25% levy on foreign automobiles, led to a 10% plunge in Tesla&#8217;s stock on Friday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44657033/elon-musk-loses-11-billion-as-tesla-stock-plummets-in-wake-of-new-trump-tariffs">erasing $11 billion</a> from Musk&#8217;s net worth. Since the declaration of tariffs on Apr 2 the Tesla CEO has lost nearly 10.5% of his net worth. 
Furthermore, the tariff turmoil sent shockwaves through global markets, causing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44658417/warren-buffett-stands-tall-in-2025-as-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-and-mark-zuckerberg-bleed-billions-in-net-worth-oracle-of-omaha-emerges-as-lone-gainer-among-top-billionaires-amid-market-rout">fortunes of other billionaires </a>besides Elon Musk, like Amazon.com, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Jeff Bezos, and Meta Platforms, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Mark Zuckerberg to plummet, while legendary investor Warren Buffett remained resilient with a  $12.7 billion year-to-date gain.
Over the past 5 days, Tesla stock has lost 11.5%, but over the past month, the shares climbed 5%.

Aehr Test Systems Gears Up For Q3 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

U.S. stock futures rose on Tuesday following a volatile day of trading on Monday that led the indices to close on a mixed note. Futures of major benchmark indices were higher in premarket.
The sell-off that began on Thursday has driven the Nasdaq into bear market territory, whereas the S&amp;P 500 and Dow Jones continue to be in the correction zone.
As China&#8217;s Commerce Ministry said that it "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44677506/china-resolutely-opposes-trumps-50-tariff-threat-vows-countermeasures-as-trade-tensions-jolt-markets?_gl=1kzrvdi_gcl_auNzQyMjgxNjUuMTczNzYwNzI4NQ.._gaZGVsZXRlZA.._ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTc0NDEwMDY0OS4yNDkuMC4xNzQ0MTAwNjQ5LjAuMC4w">resolutely opposes</a>" U.S. President Donald Trump‘s threat to impose additional 50% duties on Chinese imports, the ministry vowed to take countermeasures to protect its interests, intensifying trade tensions that have already triggered market turmoil.
Major indices were significantly down from recent highs as of Tuesday. The S&amp;P 500 was 17.65% lower, the Nasdaq 100 was down 21.56%, and the Dow Jones declined 15.77%, following a week of tariff-driven selloffs.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.17% and the two-year bond was at 3.77%. However, the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections showed markets pricing a 71.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its May meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
Real estate, materials, and utilities sectors led Monday&#8217;s S&amp;P 500 decline, pulling the U.S. stocks to a mixed close, with the Dow Jones falling for its third consecutive session.
Conversely, communication services and information technology stocks bucked the trend, closing higher.
Within tech, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) shares fell roughly 2.6%, while Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) lost 3.7%. Market volatility stemmed from Trump&#8217;s Truth Social post, threatening 50% U.S. tariffs on China following China&#8217;s 34% retaliatory tariffs.
The Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index reported a 0.7% month-over-month drop in March, consistent with February&#8217;s decline.
The Dow Jones index slumped 349 points or 0.91% to 37,965.60, whereas the S&amp;P 500 index fell 0.23% to 5,062.25. Nasdaq Composite bucked the trend to end 0.099% higher at 15,603.26, and the small-cap gauge, Russell 2000, tumbled 0.92% to 1,810.14.

Insights From Analysts:
Lawrence McDonald, founder of Bear Traps Report, calculates that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/04/44679299/trump-tariffs-triggers-historic-equity-wipeout-outpacing-covid-lehman-crashes-with-no-bond-rally-to-cushion-the-blow-says-lawrence-mcdonald"> Trump&#8217;s tariff-driven selloff</a> has obliterated $9 trillion in just six weeks, matching the COVID crash&#8217;s one-month losses and exceeding the 2008 Lehman collapse&#8217;s 12-month decline.
Only the 2022 inflation downturn saw greater losses, at $10 trillion over 11 months. Notably, unlike previous crises where bond yields plummeted, current 30-year yields remain high, near 4.5%, eliminating a traditional bond-market safety net. Reuters reports the global impact of these tariffs at a $10 trillion market wipeout.

The VIX sustained levels above 45 for two consecutive days, closing at 45.31 on Monday and 46.98 on Tuesday. As former Luby Asset Management CIO Bill Luby noted, this marks the first such occurrence since the 2008-09 Great Financial Crisis and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

A dramatic 118% surge in the VIX over three days marks its fifth-largest such spike. Creative Planning&#8217;s Charlie Bilello&#8216;s data shows that the two larger three-day VIX spikes of 176% in 2018 and 167% in 2015, preceded strong S&amp;P 500 returns over the following one to five years, leading Bilello to conclude that &#8220;high volatility/fear = opportunity&#8221;.

Meanwhile, Bravos Research indicates a &#8220;risk-off&#8221; sentiment in the U.S. stock market, triggered by a gold-to-silver ratio breakout, currently at 99.59. This closely watched metric suggests investors are shifting from volatile silver to safe-haven gold, a pattern seen before the 2022, 2020, and 2008 market downturns.

Wall Street&#8217;s well-known bearish investor, Mark Spitznagel, forecasted an 80% crash in the stock market, following President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariff rollout.
What Happened: Spitznagel, the founder and CIO of hedge fund Universa Investments, shared his bearish perspective on the stock market on Monday. He suggests that the current market drop post President Trump&#8217;s tariff rollout is not the significant crash he anticipates, but a precursor to a more severe event, <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-stock-market-will-go-down-80-when-this-is-over-says-bearish-investor-mark-spitznagel-692f56df">reported</a> MarketWatch.
Spitznagel, recognized for his bearish market outlook, said, &#8220;I anticipate&nbsp;an 80% crash when this&nbsp;is over. I just don&#8217;t&nbsp;think this is it. This&nbsp;is a trap.&#8221; He added that investors would be cognizant when the real crash occurs.
The &#8216;Black Swan&#8217; investor has earlier expressed worries over escalating U.S. debt, which he perceives as a significant market risk. In 2024, he cautioned investors about the peril of being unprepared when the market takes a downturn.
He urged investors to retain positions unaffected by market chaos, a tough task for the average individual. He stressed, &#8220;Take it from a professional&nbsp;doomer, they don&#8217;t. And they definitely don&#8217;t&nbsp;have the right position for&nbsp;it.&#8221;
Spitznagel informed MarketWatch, &#8220;This&nbsp;is another selloff to shake&nbsp;people out. This isn&#8217;t&nbsp;Armageddon. That time will come&nbsp;as the bubble bursts.&#8221; The investor added, "This is a most contrarian view right now. Promise."

Why It Matters: Spitznagel has spoken about the popping of the market bubble on previous occasions too. In a conversation with Fortune published earlier this month, the investor stated, "That's what we should all be concerned about right now—the largest bubble in human history popping.&#8221;
This prediction comes in the wake of a tumultuous period for the stock market. On Monday, the S&amp;P 500 officially <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/04/44669291/sp-500-officially-sinks-into-bear-market-heres-what-investors-need-to-know">entered a bear market</a> territory, plummeting more than 20% from its recent highs due to investor panic over U.S. trade tariffs announced last week by the Trump administration. 
CNBC&#8217;s &#8216;Mad Money&#8217; host, Jim Cramer, also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44677995/jim-cramer-says-market-rebound-feels-strange-after-nine-nights-of-losses-things-arent-better-as-stock-futures-surge-over-1">expressed skepticism </a>about Monday's market rebound, calling it "strange" following nine consecutive down days in futures trading. These events provide context to Spitznagel&#8217;s prediction and highlight the potential risks facing investors.
The S&amp;P 500 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) dropped 9.5% in the past 5 days following President Trump's announcement of broad tariff measures. It closed 0.23% lower on Monday at 5,062.25.
