We’re Entering the Most Lucrative Trading Period of My Life VIEW IN BROWSER
By Jeff Clark, Editor, Market Minute Last month, the S&P 500 surged 6.2%. 
That’s the best May gain for stocks since 1990. The average yearly return for the index going back 30 years is about 11%. So, that’s more than half the average yearly return for the stock market in just one month. That’s great news for buy-and-hold investors. After a nearly 19% peak-to-trough plunge in April, they needed to catch a break. And they did. So, kudos if you held your nerve through all the negative trade war headlines and stayed in your long-term positions. But as good as that return was, it’s only a fraction of what was available to folks who traded their way through the month. I recommended four trades to my subscribers in May with an average holding time of just five days. They delivered a cumulative return of 129%. That’s 21 times the gain you’d have made from holding the S&P 500 over the same period. And it didn’t involve more risk. Because of how these trades were structured, you needed only a relatively small stake to make these outsized returns. It’s all down to a simple, repeatable pattern that can turn small stock-price moves into 100%-plus wins… often in just a few days. And this pattern is flashing all over the stock market right now – meaning it’s “harvest time” for traders. In fact, I believe we’re entering the most lucrative trading period of my life. It’s why tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET, I’m sitting down with TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan to walk you through 10 high-probability trades that could deliver 100%-plus gains in the days ahead. I know those are big claims. But as I’ll show you below, I have the track record to back it up. So why is now such a powerful moment for traders? To answer that, you need to turn everything you think you know about investing completely on its head. | Recommended Link | | | | And Jonathan Rose has learned how to read them automatically, using an algorithm you can access through any home computer. After years inside the Chicago Board Options Exchange, Jonathan developed a way to spot when millions of dollars flood into certain trades from the biggest banks on Wall Street – right before potential big stock moves. He’s now using this algorithm to show his followers gains as high as: 245% on Criteo, 462% on C3.ai, and even as high as 10,633% on GameStop.

Tariffs, the reshuffling of the global economy, plus a dozen other issues have kept the markets on edge this year. Over April 3 and 4, we saw $6.6 trillion erased from the U.S. stock market. That’s the largest two-day wipeout of shareholder value on record. It eclipsed the COVID crash and even the Black Monday crash in 1987. Then on April 9, the S&P 500 shot up 9.5%. It was the largest single-day percentage gain since the 2008 financial crisis. If you’re an investor, this kind of volatility can be stomach churning. One day your portfolio is plunging. The next day it’s surging. It’s hard to know what to do. But for traders, those same price swings are a gift. They allow us to harness these big moves in markets for profits. It’s not just the magnitude of these moves that work in your favor as a trader. You also have a lot more opportunities to trade. It’s not about being bullish or bearish. As a trader, it doesn’t matter if stocks are going up or down. And as I showed with my live trade alerts last month, you can make money either way. There’s Always a Way to Profit Below are the closed gains from six of the most recent trade recommendations I made at my subscriber-only trading blog, Delta Direct. Half of them were “long” trades, meaning they pay off when stocks go up. The other half were “short” trades. They pay off when stocks fall. - SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) long trade on April 29, closed on April 30 for a profit of 117.8%
- SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) long trade on May 12, closed on May 23 for a profit of 49.8%
- SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) long trade on May 28, closed on May 30 for a profit of 42.9%
- Marvell Technology (MRVL) short trade on April 21, closed on April 23 for a profit of 78.3%
- Deckers Outdoor (DECK) short trade on April 16, closed on April 22 for a profit of 77.8%
- Target (TGT) short trade on April 7, closed on April 8 for a profit of 74.8%
The average gain for the short trades (last three on the list) was 76% versus a gain of 70% for the long trades. But there wasn’t much of a difference between them. That’s what’s so liberating about trading versus investing. Whether the market goes up, down, or sideways – there’s always a way to profit. I’ll be getting into the details of the strategy behind these wins in my interview with Keith tomorrow. But in a nutshell, I trade “mean reversions.” That’s just a fancy way of saying that if a stock moves too far away from its typical level, it’s likely to snap back toward the average. Said another way, I wait until a stock, or a stock market index, gets stretched too far in one direction or the other. Then I bet on the proverbial rubber band snapping back. This strategy paid off during President Donald Trump’s first term in office. It has been paying off again in his second term. And it will continue to work well for the next three and a half years – at least – no matter what the stock market does. It’s why I hope you’ll watch my interview with Keith when it airs tomorrow. You’ll learn… - What I look for before I pull the trigger on my mean-reversion trades
- How I handed my subscribers the chance to close out more than 1,000 winning trades by using this simple strategy
- 10 different, specific opportunities that could make you 100% or more in the coming days.
Keith and I will also lift the lid off of a new software project we’ve been working on together behind the scenes... A project that hands you 10 opportunities to make 100% or more every morning – without any recommendations from me. I think you’re going to love it. Back tests show it could have led to gains like… - 197% in 17 days from Netflix (NFLX)
- 322% in 14 days from Amazon (AMZN)
- 469% in 10 days from Alphabet (GOOG)
- 636% in 7 days from Tesla (TSLA)
If that sounds interesting to you, make sure to tune into what Keith and I have to say tomorrow. If you’re willing to keep an open mind… and see how to turn volatility from a threat into an opportunity… You’re going to get a huge amount of value from it. All I ask is that you register your interest here. And that you get ready to make the most lucrative trades of your life. Best regards and good trading,
