Adam Baratta’s “BLACK SWAN 2020” Event

Adam Baratta, The #1 Financial Author In America Makes The Most Shocking Economic Prediction Of 2020. This “unpredictable” Black Swan event will bring our economy to its knees this year. And open the floodgates to a lifetime of retirement wealth. For those who take advantage of it, the coming decade could return untold fortunes.

Black Swan Crisis Event

What are Black Swans?

“Black Swans” are random and devastating economic events.

They cause catastrophic damage to the economy… and… can not be predicted by any standard forecasting models.

Once one hits, financial systems collapse, markets crater, and millions can lose their entire life savings. However, those who know what to look for can make fortunes. Because these events present once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

The term “black swan” has been floating around since 2007.

That’s when former derivatives trader, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, wrote his infamous tome, The Black Swan.

Taleb points out that black swans are rare, unpredictable and extreme event. When they hit, entire financial systems collapse — at least temporarily. And history is full of examples…

The Great Depression…

The Dot.com Bust…

The Financial Crisis of 2008…

All economic black swans that came (seemingly) from out of nowhere to crush the markets and the hopes and dreams of millions of American investors.

Mark Twain famously said, “History may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.”

Once again, we’re headed for disaster. And if history teaches us anything, it’s that you can’t count on Wall Street to steer you right.

Wall Street is in the business of hiding risk from regular investors. In addition, it relies on what Forbes refers to as “faulty risk-control models from overconfident economists.”

In plain English, Wall Street tends to underestimate the probability of big moves in the markets.

Which makes the entire financial system crash-prone.

It’s as if you’re sailing on a dark night in an ocean full of icebergs. The ride seems fine… but… you’re just feet away from disaster.

If you don’t want to become a victim when the next one hits…

When is Adam Baratta’s BLACK SWAN 2020 Event?

Wednesday, Jan 29th, 8pm EST

Yes – economic black swans wreak havoc on the markets. But, at the same time, they offer some of the most lucrative profit opportunities. For instance, during the Financial Crisis of 2008 a number of Smart Money investors became multi-millionaires… and even… billionaires.

Attend Adam Baratta’s BLACK SWAN 2020 Event event and you too will know what’s coming and how to profit from it as it unfolds.

What Will You Learn?

During Adam’s presentation, he will reveal how the Smart Money profits from black swans and how you can profit right along with them as the next one hits.

You will discover:

The massive economic shift about to blindside global markets and unprepared investors.

A powerful financial force that will send our national debt off the charts. (This could be the final nail in the coffin before all hell breaks loose.)

Why the coming Black Swan is predictable… and… how to position your wealth for exponential growth when it comes.

What you can learn from an ancient European civilization about why crises repeat and how to profit when they inevitably happen.

How to embrace the coming change and position your money for safety and explosive gains as popular paper assets crater.

The real reason the rich have gotten richer, the middle class has stagnated, and the poor have gotten poorer over the last 40 years.

Shocking similarities between today’s economy and the economy in 1929. (Every sign points to a massive financial collapse the likes of which has not been seen since the Great Depression!)

3 pathways to the inevitable conclusion… and… how you can win and come out richer no matter what

A fourth “extreme measure” solution that will explode the value of one asset by as much as 400% within days. (Note: Trump may initiate this measure by Executive Order by taking emergency actions without any oversight from Congress or any other government branch.)

What every investor must do — RIGHT NOW — to protect their retirement savings, take advantage of the coming opportunity, and secure a lifetime of wealth before it’s too late!

Bottom line: Adam’s webinars have become MUST SEE events. Over 10,000 people registered for the last two alone. Investors who attended and followed his advice have enjoyed huge gains. Make sure you reserve one of the few available spots now!

Who is Adam Baratta?

Adam Baratta is known for making bold market predictions that come true.

He called the gold rally of 2018 which led to his book, Gold Is A Better Way, becoming the #1 financial book in America. Since then, gold is up $350 beating the highest-flying stock market in history by nearly three times.

His book continues topping bestseller lists and even ranks as a Wall Street Journal Top 10 books in all categories.

He called the FED’s crazy rate loosening policies. He predicted that Jerome Powell would reverse course. And he foresaw the FED caving to the market, cutting rates and sending stocks soaring.

Now, Adam is making his most shocking prediction yet. Those who heed his warning and advice stand to make fortunes. Those who don’t could get wiped out.

He says, “The next economic Black Swan is already taking shape. This event will likely be more devastating to our economy than The Great Depression. Most investors are completely asleep at the wheel and have been lulled into a sense of complacency. The imminent crisis is an opportunity at a lifetime of wealth, and in my presentation I’m going to reveal exactly how you can play it right.”

This Indicator Hit 2007 Crisis Levels – But You Shouldn’t Sell Yet

By Chris Igou, analyst, True Wealth

Everyone’s waiting…

After a fantastic start to the year, markets have fallen over the last week. Folks want to know if this is the big one.

The answer is, “Probably not.” But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be watching important indicators closely.

One of the most useful economic gauges has flashed warning signs before the last three recessions. And today, it’s hitting levels we haven’t seen since the last crisis.

Here’s the thing, though. While this indicator is near crisis levels, it’s not giving us the “get out now” signal just yet…

This leading indicator is still in positive territory, as I’ll show. And that means it’s not time to hit the panic button on U.S. stocks today.

Let me explain…

Former hedge fund manager with a long track record of accurate predictions says a huge shift is coming towards the U.S. stock market in as little as 6 months that will determine who gets wealthy in America and who gets left behind.

Pick A Time To Watch Here

There are lots of ways to look at the health of the U.S. economy – including unemployment, housing starts, and consumer spending, just to name a few.

When several of these indicators start showing weakness, it can mean the economy is in danger of recession. And a looming recession is bad for stocks.

To see many of these indicators in a simple form, we can look at the Leading Economic Index (“LEI”). It’s put together by the Conference Board, an independent research company that collects business and economic data.

The LEI weights 10 factors that are tied directly to the economy. If this group of indicators starts to weaken, the LEI falls. And that’s an early warning sign.

Unfortunately, this is happening right now. Take a look…

The chart shows the year-over-year change in the LEI. And as you can see, the growth rate has gone from around 5% in 2018 to roughly flat today.

This is the lowest reading we’ve seen since the financial crisis. But again, it doesn’t spell the end for today’s bull market.

An Urgent Message From One of the Most Respected Names In Precious Metals

The #1 Gold Play for 2019

It’s not a Mining Stock, ETF, or Bullion – but this virtually unknown $7 investment could hand you a small fortune as gold soars higher.

Click Here For More Details

The current level sits at 0.1% today… So we’re still seeing a bit of growth. The concern will be when this reading turns negative.

Since 1960, buying after the LEI turns negative has led to losses in the S&P 500 over the next year. Take a look at the table below…

Over the long term, U.S. stocks return roughly 7% a year. But the broad market does much worse after this indicator turns negative.

Negative readings have led to 2% losses in the S&P 500 over six months. And it has lost roughly 9% over the next year.

Importantly, we aren’t there yet. The LEI remains in positive territory. That means stocks still have room to run.

It might not feel that way after the losses we’ve seen in recent days. But this indicator says the economy is still doing well… And that means the market should continue higher.

Jason Bodner (Palm Beach Trader): The Market Sell-Off Is Here

By Jason Bodner, editor, Palm Beach Trader

Since the beginning of the year, we’ve seen relentless buying in the market. It hasn’t mattered which sector it is, either…

Tech, utilities, financials, real estate, consumer staples, telecom. You name it, and the big money has been buying. And it’s reflecting in the amount of big-money buying activity in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

ETF trading activity is a major component of my stock-picking system (more on that in a moment). And year-to-date, my system has recorded relentless buying in the ETF world.

But now, cracks are starting to show – and that signals the market reset I predicted earlier this month is in the works.

The last three times my system pinpointed similar conditions – in February 2017, January 2018, and February 2019 – sell-offs occurred afterwards within days or weeks. The Russell 2000 dropped 3.1%, 9.8%, and 7.8%, respectively:

So today, I’ll tell you what the big money is doing – and how you should play it…

Tracking the Big Money

To track big-money buying, I spent half a dozen years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop my “unbeatable” stock-picking system.

I used my experience from nearly two decades at prestigious Wall Street firms – trading more than $1 billion worth of stock for major clients – to make sure it’s highly accurate, comprehensive, and effective.

It scans nearly 5,500 stocks every day, using algorithms to rank each one for strength. It also looks for the movements of big-money investors. And when it sees them piling into or getting out of a stock, it raises a yellow flag.

I put these yellow flags through another filter. If the flag turns red, it means the big money is selling. If it turns green, it means the big money is buying…

It’s that simple: When I see green, the big money is buying.

But here’s the thing: My unbeatable system doesn’t just look at individual stocks. It can track big-money buying and selling in the broad market, too.

And right now, it’s still showing we’re in overbought territory…

One of the top news anchors in America just went on-camera to expose a huge story. When word spreads about what she’s uncovered — it could trigger an equally huge move in the stock market.

If you haven’t seen her interview… which details a sector of the market that could soar 37x in the months ahead, click this link to watch it now.

Buying Is Slowing Down

ETF buying is a good contrarian indicator. You see, retail (mom-and-pop) investors use ETFs to gain market exposure.

So when ETF buying is off the charts, buying has likely reached a peak – and is signaling it’s time to do the opposite. And after being scooped up like mad, my system is identifying decreasing ETF buying…

The one-year average for ETF buy signals is nine signals per day. But this past week, the system has recorded 17 signals per day. And over the past month, the average has been 20 signals per day.

Now, make no mistake, that’s still big buying activity in ETFs. Yet it also indicates we’re seeing a broader shift from buying to selling.

Take a look at the chart below. It shows my system’s ratio of big-money buying and selling…

When the ratio is at 80% (see the red line above) or more, it means buyers are in control and markets are overbought. And when it dips to 25% (the green line) or lower, sellers have taken the reins, leading the markets into oversold territory.

As you can see, each time the ratio has signaled overbought levels, it’s quickly fallen back within a few days or weeks. This means that the big money is selling again – causing the markets and prices to fall, too.

And this is already starting to happen again. In fact, the Russell 2000 is already down about 3.7% since I sent out my warning on January 17.

Now, I don’t have a crystal ball. But I used my system to go back through a decade of data to see what might happen.

During the 15 similar setups in those 10 years, the sell-offs following overbought conditions lasted an average of just over three weeks. And the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) lost an average of 5.5%.

This pullback will be temporary, though. History tells us it’ll take a few days or weeks to dissipate. So right now, let’s wait out this healthy correction and have our shopping lists ready.

When my system turns green again, we’ll be able to re-enter this epic bull run at even lower prices. Many great companies will go on sale and hand us buying opportunities. And we’ll be ready to scoop them up at a discount.

Jeff Bishop’s Total Alpha Trading | Intermarket Analysis

Hold on to your knickers cause the markets are about to take us for a wild ride. With futures pointed to a massive decline at the open, we need to look at what’s in store for the indexes

The Federal Reserve delivers its first announcement of the year on Wednesday. Hamstrung by a fragile market and jawboning politicians, they’re widely expected to leave rates unchanged. The open question – will they soothe scared investors?

Jerome Powell already upended economists by allowing for U.S. inflation to rise above its 2% mandate – a statement that probably has Adam Smith turning in his grave.

Interestingly, we’ve managed to stay below historical levels, with the one exception being the period from the late ‘50s to the late ‘60s.

This leads me into the bond market as our first stop this week…a place that could rise further than we’ve seen already.

Bright Bond Outlook

Normally, I stick with the hourly chart when I look for setups that fit my money-pattern. However, the weekly chart for the bond market looks fascinating.

TLT Weekly Chart

Last week the bond market closed above the upper trendline that connected the high points of the candles since August. That signals bonds want to break higher out of this consolidation range.

Supported by an easy Fed, bond demand remains strong. With zero and negative interest rates around the globe, it’s an easy choice for investors. Plus, when the market finally pulls back, its inverse relationship with bonds will give it an extra push.

Markets Fired a Warning Shot

Friday’s close was different than the ones we’ve seen over the last month or so. Stocks traded weakly all day, closing in poor fashion.

SPY Hourly Chart

I first noticed the bearish money pattern crossover Friday where the 13-period moving average crossed below the 30-period moving average. Then, the market proceeded to fill the gap, and not only close at that level, but below the past couple of days. This is known as an ‘engulfing’ candle. When it happens like this at highs, it’s a bearish reversal.

The Nasdaq didn’t look as bad. But, it’s dangerously close to making a bearish crossover as well.

QQQ Hourly Chart

Now you may ask, why would this bearish crossover be any different than the light pullback we got at the end of December?

The difference is how it occurred. December’s ranged didn’t extend as far as this decline in a single day. The entire move in December was 1% from top to bottom over two days. Friday’s was 1.55% in a single day.

But let’s look at the other evidence out there.

A Significant Rise In The VIX

Back in December, the VIX hardly budged as the market rolled over. Compare that with what Friday’s move looked like in the VIX.

VIX Daily Chart

The strength behind this move was more powerful than December’s. The only saving grace was that it didn’t close above the 200-period daily moving average Friday. But I think that is only a matter of time.

Another point in favor of this decline comes from the VVIX. The VVIX, which measures demand on the VIX, actually declined on the rise in the VIX at the end of December. Friday the VVIX climbed alongside the VIX as markets fell.

VVIX Daily Chart

This is more indicative of a sustainable pullback. It would make sense given how in 2018, markets ran straight up for a month before pulling back. We’re pretty close to that timing now.

Gold Looks Glorious

I added call options in the GLD last week to my Total Alpha portfolio. Gold’s chart depicts a bullish market ready to break higher.

When I look at the hourly GLD chart, I see a bullish crossover as well as a consolidation pattern near the upper end of the trading range.

GLD Hourly Chart

GLD came close to touching the hold highs Friday. The longer it hovers here, the more likely it breaks through to much higher levels. A downdraft in the markets would certainly help this along.

Crude Looking For a Bottom

I’ll admit I’m surprised at how far crude has fallen. However, that aligns with why I would expect a pullback in stocks.

At this point, crude oil will want to test its previous lows. In the USO that coincides with $10.50-$11.00. Breaking those levels would require a lot more selling pressure than we’ve seen so far.

USO Daily Chart

Part of why I’m looking for a bottom in crude oil is its volatility. Like the S&P 500, crude oil has its own volatility measure. Right now the OVIX is at pretty high levels.

OVIX Daily Chart

That’s not to say that oil volatility is at record levels. Rather, it’s at relatively high levels. So it certainly can go lower. But, the OVIX is mean-reverting and is overextended in the short-term.

Betting Against China

Before the Coronavirus hit the wires, I already had an option bet against Chinese stocks. This paid me over 100%, and I still have part of the position.

Weekly Money Multiplier | 3 Trades For A Volatile Market

Sometimes you get a gut feeling that you can’t explain. It hits you in the pit of your stomach, but you don’t know where it came from.

That happened to me Friday.

Check out my first trading from that morning:

Before my coffee cooled, my trade account heated up!

Then it hit me. A few hours later… I closed out most of my portfolio.

I could be wrong and it may be nothing…

But, I’ve learned to trust my well-honed instincts.

And my instincts told me it’s time to lighten up.

Only time will tell if that was the right decision.

However, there are a few stocks that I’m targeting for potential trades come Monday…

You can find them right below…

3 Trades For A Volatile Market

Tilray (TLRY)

While I traded Canopy Growth (CGC) a few times last week, I never got a huge winner. But, as I started watching a similar stock – Tilray – I realized it has a lot of long-term potential.

Let’s take a look at the 130-minute chart to start.

TLRY 130-minute Chart

I love the look of this stock. It almost fits right into my TPS setup. As a quick review, that means it contains three key elements:

Trend – While the stock had taken a larger decline last year, it pushed hard off the base it formed. That created a nice uptrend.

Pattern – Friday’s down move came close to breaking the pattern. However, I still like this consolidation flag.

Squeeze – So far, I haven’t seen the squeeze on the daily chart. However, there’s a nice one forming on the 130-minute chart. This occurs when the Bollinger Bands move inside the Keltner Channel. You can see it from the red dots in the bottom indicator.

Here’s the problem. Friday’s market action broke the chart pattern. The triangle formation broke with candle closes below the trendline.

However, I still think there’s a play. Let’s back out to the daily chart.

TLRY Daily Chart

The daily chart still has a pattern and trend. However, I need the squeeze to form before I want to hop on board.

So, this is one to keep an eye on. Once the Bollinger Bands start trading inside the Keltner Channel, then I’ll be looking at a potential entry.

What I do like about this stock is its independence. These marijuana stocks tend to trade on their own rather than with the broader market. That gives me the protection I want for a potential downturn.

Twilio (TWLO)

Twilio is a stock that I’m cautiously optimistic about. You can again find my classic TPS setup here as well… and this one looks primed to go.

TWLO 130-Minute Chart

Although this stock has run hard, it’s got a great look to it. There’s a nice uptrend, clean pattern, and a squeeze with momentum turning upwards.

However, there’s a catch with this one. Earnings come up on February 5th. I don’t like to necessarily trade through earnings. Given this is a 130-minute chart, there is a good chance it plays out before earnings.

That’s the trade-off here. It all comes down to timing.

20 Yr+ Bonds ETF (TLT)

This play is a great edition to protect against volatility. Bonds normally trade opposite of stocks. Investors like to park money in treasuries as a safety trade. So when stocks drop, bonds tend to rise. When stocks rise, bonds tend to drop.

Now, let’s look at the weekly chart for bonds here.

TLT Weekly Chart

Anything look familiar here? This is my TPS setup but on a weekly chart. That’s what I love about this system. It works on any time-frame.

Because this is a weekly chart, it can take months to play out. However, it fits within a bigger macroeconomic picture and acts as a great hedge against market fallout.

My only concern here is that the trade may have left the station. Last week’s market action may have been the breakout move. Right now, it’s not at a spot where I want to enter the trade necessarily. But, if I get a pullback to the 8-period or 21-period exponential moving average, then you can bet I’ll be sizing this up.

Want Even More Trades

Last week turned out to be a busy one for me. I found lots of great trades every day. Starting fresh this week, I see a lot of potential for even more.

So how do I find these people trades – TPS setups.

In my upcoming webinar, I talk about how I created my TPS system that turned my $38,000 account into over $2,000,000 in just two years, as well as finding these trades every day.

It’s Almost Time to Buy Oil Again

By Jeff Clark – the editor of the Jeff Clark Trader

The price of oil is free falling.

After peaking above $63 per barrel earlier this month, the price of the gooey black stuff has fallen nearly 15%. It closed Friday just above $54. And, if it can fall just a bit more, traders should look to buy oil again.

FULL DETAILS HERE

Take a look at this chart…

Analysts are blaming the recent decline on a number of reasons…

Middle East tensions are falling. Oil inventory is building. Fears of a coronavirus epidemic are slowing the global economy.

Remember though, those same analysts were mostly bullish on oil at the start of the year. They argued that increased hostility with Iran would push the price of oil higher. Inventory levels were coming down. And, the new Phase I trade agreement between China and the U.S. would spur economic growth.

How To Retire Rich With Just 3 Stocks

“This plan helped me retire at 42. Now, for the first time, I’m revealing how it works and I’m even giving away the names and tickers of the 3 stocks you need to get started.” – Millionaire trader, Jeff Clark

Yes, show me the 3 stocks.

As we argued when we advised selling oil into the rally earlier this month, when it comes to trading oil, it’s best to simply buy at support and sell at resistance.

As you can tell from the chart, the price of oil is approaching support. There are two support lines just below the current price. One line connects the June and August lows and suggests oil could be headed towards $51 per barrel.

The other support line is slightly more bullish. It connects a series of higher lows and suggests oil may be nearing a bottom at a price closer to $53.50 per barrel.

Personally, I’m leaning more towards buying oil at the $53.50 support level.

The various technical indicators at the bottom of the chart are already in oversold territory. And analysts’ sentiment – which has proven to be an excellent contrary indicator – has turned quite bearish on this recent decline. So, it seems to me that oil may be nearing at least a short-term bottom.

Traders might consider buying oil on a decline towards $53.50 if it happens early this week.

Teeka Tiwari’s Most Radical Idea Ever

By Teeka Tiwari, editor, Palm Beach Daily

Today, I’m going to talk to you about an idea you’re not going to want to believe. An idea so radical, you’re going to think, “This guy is crazy… Get him off the stage.”

On October 24, 2014, I made that statement to a sold-out audience at our annual PBRG Infinity conference. It’s an exclusive event reserved for our best subscribers.

I was new to the PBRG team at the time. So everyone was skeptical of what I had to say.

I took the stage feeling like Galileo during the Inquisition.

Galileo challenged Church orthodoxy that the Earth was at the center of the solar system. Instead, he said the Earth moved around the sun.

It was an idea so radical, people couldn’t wrap their heads around it.

The Church eventually convicted him of heresy. That was why my first presentation slide showed an image of Galileo tied to a stake, about to be burned alive.

Back in 2014, I shared an idea no one believed. People thought I was nuts. Even worse, some people thought I was delusional.

Even today, I doubt you’ll want to hear what I have to say… let alone believe it. But it’s a message I’ll be spreading for the next 10 years.

All I ask of you is what I asked the Infinity audience back in 2014: “Please keep an open mind.”

The Golden Ratio

In October 2014, the current bull market was just over five years old. The S&P 500 was above 2,000.

But like now, many investors back then didn’t believe it could continue roaring higher.

Yet, I stood there and told the audience that a “golden ratio” would kick off a massive bull market for the ages. And it would continue marching higher for years to come.

Since then, of course, we’ve seen the market rise 83.4%, if you include dividends.

You can click here or the image below to watch the entire speech…

At the time, I called this phenomenon the Golden Ratio.

I won’t go into all the details of how the ratio works… But it occurs when the ratio between middle-aged people and young people shifts.

When the number of people in the 35–49 age bracket grows larger than that of the 20–34 age group, it triggers a secular or long-term bull market.

It makes sense when you think about it. Most people in the 35–49 age range are earning a lot more money at their jobs, and they’re spending more to support their families. That’s good for the economy as a whole.

When the Golden Ratio is in effect, GDP grows faster, corporations make more profits, and the stock market rises faster.

And according to Census Bureau projections, the median age of Americans will rise significantly between 2020 and 2050 as the number of older people surpass the number of younger people.

Now, in late 2014, the stock market had already nearly tripled from its bottom during the Great Recession. So I imagine some people thought it was weird to hear about a bull market just getting started… five years into one.

Since then, the market has reached record highs. But I’m here to tell you – you’ve seen nothing yet…

Another Decade Ahead

My research shows we’re still in the early stages of this bull market.

I won’t go into all the details here. But what I will share with you is this: My research suggests you still have about 10 years left to make money from equities.

Sure, the market may drop again. Nothing goes up in a straight line forever.

For instance, in late 2015, the market got hammered 19% in a matter of a couple months. Here I was, banging the drum on a huge macro bull call… and the market dropped like a rock.

My call looked like a bad one, even though I had warned my audience we would see multiple 20% – and sometimes 30% – drops along the way up.

What I told my audience then – and what I’ll tell you now – was to use any of these pullbacks to buy more stocks.

Just like 2014, I’m seeing negative sentiment by individual investors on stocks. Sure, they’re expensive… But when the Golden Ratio is active, valuations stay high for years.

How To Retire Rich With Just 3 Stocks

Yes, show me the 3 stocks.

The beauty of being in a Golden Ratio bull market like we’re in now is, even if you have lousy timing and buy the market at the top, within a year, you’ll be back in the black.

With a historical backstop like that, you must be in stocks. Don’t fret over getting the perfect price. Just buy quality blue chips or broad-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and you’ll crush the performance of most fund managers trying to time the market.

If you’re uncomfortable going all in now… then simply invest a little each week or each month. The point is to get your money out of cash and working for you in stocks.

The easiest thing to do right now is to be bearish on the stock market. But anytime something is emotionally easy for you… you must question it.

Emotions are a terrible guide when it comes to investing. So if you’re comfortable being bearish, I want you to question the assumptions you’re making.

Nathan Bear Weekly Money Multiplier | Hedging Your Positions

Nothing is more frustrating than a single trade destroying weeks, if not months of work.

It’s a painful lesson I learned the hard way on multiple occasions.

During that stretch, I noticed I never stepped back to examine my trades as a whole.

I discovered periods where I had way too many bullish or bearish bets on in the market. My portfolio wasn’t balanced.

How do you maintain a balanced portfolio when you don’t want to give up on your existing positions?

In one word – Hedging.

For example, If you are long Google, you could short the Nasdaq 100 ETF.

You would do this if you believed that Google was set to outperform the broader market.

There are different ways to hedge your positions from basic strategies to complex ones.

The key is using one that works with your experience and style.

Today, we’re going to discuss various hedging techniques. And how you can start implementing them to protect your portfolio against any adverse reaction.

“I need to let you know I listened to your advice and focused only with Nate Bear setups and studied his material with my under 1K account. The month of November (2019) I was green $425 or 17% with 7 winners and 2 losers. This was my first green month this year.” ~ Dan

The Unprofitable Trader

Problem – I only know how to buy puts and calls

Newer traders probably haven’t thought much about hedging their positions. They’re more concerned with trying to come up with a good strategy and hitting consistent wins.

By ignoring your bias, you expose yourself to excess risk. I can think of several times when I would keep adding trade after trade on the long side. Then a day like Friday would come around where the market nosedives and all my positions turn against me.

The trick is to balance your trading risk and market risk. If you have a good idea, stick with it. Just know that it might not always work out.

Solution – Use market ETFs to offset your stock positions

My favorite solution for hedging – use market ETF options. I usually have a long-bias in my TPS trading strategy. To offset that bias, I will buy puts on major market ETFs like the SPY, QQQ, IWM, or DIA. This goes directly to the example I provided earlier. If I like Google’s potential, I reduce my exposure to the downside by buying put contracts on the QQQ.

The Breakeven Trader

Problem – I want to optimize my hedges

Sometimes I find myself in trades on similar stocks without even realizing it. If I play too many stocks in the same category, I get sector-specific risk. That means if I hold a bunch of tech stocks that all sell-off at once, using the S&P 500 ETF as a hedge won’t be very effective.

Solution – Use sector-specific ETFs

When I find myself too heavily loaded with one particular market area, I’ll look to offset the positions with the ETF for the sector. For example, if I have a trade in Biogen and Abbot Labs, I can pair these trades with a healthcare ETF to reduce my exposure. This reduces my sector risk and allows the trades to work on their own merits.

However, if you want exposure to the sector, then it’s best to cut down the number of trades in a similar category. Quite often, you’ll see the same setup in related stocks. When this happens, try to pick the best of the bunch.

The Profitable Trader

Problem – I don’t want to worry about adjusting my hedges all the time

Not every trader likes to spend time in front of the computer. I know plenty of swing traders that set their orders at the beginning of the week and then walk away.

The problem they run into is they don’t know which will fill and which won’t as the week goes on. They can very quickly find themselves with too many bullish bets or bearish bets.

Solution – Try market neutral strategies like iron condors

Strategies like short iron condors are great low maintenance trades. Once you put these on, you just check on them periodically for adjustments. These trades involve selling a call and put credit spread on a stock.

With these trades, you want to try to collect 1/3rd the distance of the spreads. For example, if you did an iron condor on a stock with a put credit spread at the $100/$101 strikes and a call credit spread at the $110/$111 strikes, you should try to collect $0.33 for the trade.

Ideally, you want to put these trades on when implied volatility is high and about 45-60 days out from expiration. With stocks, I try to avoid taking trades that go through any earnings announcements.

Putting It All Together

I won’t lie to you and say it’s easy to learn how to hedge your positions effectively. It takes time and practice. That’s why a good trade journal is critical. Your journal tells you what works and what doesn’t.

It took me years of practice before I finally learned how to turn a profit consistently. Journaling was a huge part of how I turned it around.

In my upcoming webinar, I talk about how I moved from an unprofitable trader to finally taking my $38,000 account and turning it into over $2,000,000 in just two years.

Kyle Dennis FAST 5 Trade Review (2020)

I want to show you why it’s important to conduct due diligence when you trade or invest in stocks — and Kyle Dennis Fast 5 Trades method to find high-conviction trade ideas. Read my full Kyle Dennis Fast 5 Trade Alerts Review. That way you could prevent yourself from being trapped in schemes like the one I’m going to reveal.

I’m sure someone at some point has told you before: You have to get in on the cannabis “gold rush” before it’s too late. But let me tell you something, it’s not all glitz and glam in the industry. In fact, pot stocks get a bad rap for a reason.

A few rotten apples run these companies with one goal in mind — to scam investors and line their pockets with millions of stolen dollars… as they buy an obscene amount of luxury items with investors’ hard-earned cash.

Today, I’ve got a story that will grind your gears that involves a duo who defrauded investors of more than $4.85M… and there’s a lesson to be learned here.

Dirty Duo Defrauds Investors of At Least $4.85M

Guy Scott Griffithe and Robert William Russell controlled Green Acres Pharms, SMRB, and Renewable Technologies Solutions. This duo — with the aid of their companies — allegedly executed a scheme to defraud over 25 investors of at least $4.85 million with their recreational cannabis company securities offering.

Here’s how the elaborate scheme went down.

Griffithe and Russel sold fugazi (fake) ownership interests in Russel’s company, SMRB, to investors for 2.5 years. SMRB was a Washington state company that held a sacred license to grow and process pot under recreational cannabis laws. They could’ve done things the right way… but they chose not to.

Soon Griffithe and Russel began to sell securities through Griffithe’s companies Renewable Technologies Solutions and Green Acres Pharms. The duo claimed both these companies held a minority interest in SMRB.

Here’s the kicker: the dirty duo told investors that their hard-earned cash would go to the operation and the improvement of the SMRB’s cannabis business.

Of course, if you’re an investor and hear this… you would be enticed to put more money in. You see, by improving SMRB’s business it would result in a shower of profits that then would be distributed to investors quarterly. Of course, in direct proportion to what they put into the company.

Investors forked over millions to get in on this budding market (I don’t blame them, especially when you’ve got the head of companies telling you they’re trying to grow their businesses)… but if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The worst part about this scheme is the fact the cannabis company securities sold by the duo sold to over 25 investors weren’t even worth the cost of a single rolling paper. They were 100% fake. The investors had no stake in SMRB… their money just disappeared. A $4.85 million trick played on investors.

What The Two Did With Millions Of Dollars

Disclaimer ── If you aren’t sitting down do so before reading this!

Griffithe would personally misappropriate over $1.8 million of investors’ funds.

What’d he do with all the money?

He purchased a 2015 Porsche Panamera, a 2013 Ford Mustang, a 2012 Mercedes Benz C Class, and a 2008 Bentley Continental.

And that’s just the vehicles he was cruising down the highway in! He bought something he could cruise the sea in too, putting $25,000 towards 42 ft Hydrasport custom powerboat.

Russel and his wife Sonja Marie Russel would misuse investors funds to the tune of about $1.7 million. A majority of which went directly into their personal bank accounts.

But the Russel family wouldn’t be out shined by Griffithe’s new boat. Obviously, they need something bigger, better, and grander. Resulting in them buying an even larger boat ── I guess you could say yacht. $250K of what Russel took from investors went towards a 65 ft Pacific Mariner yacht. Which would make Griffithe 42 ft boat look like a child’s play toy.

The SEC is out to make an example.

“As alleged in our complaint, Griffithe and Russell exploited popular interest in the cannabis industry to obtain millions of dollars from investors who thought they were buying into a profitable business… “Instead, Griffithe and Russell deceived investors and used the money to enrich themselves”, declared Associate Director Hodgeman.

They are seeking the return of the ill-gotten gains with interest and added civil penalties.

Hopefully, these 2 didn’t grow too used to their plush new toys.

Of course, we want to avoid companies like this at all costs.

So what’s my solution to this problem?

Fast 5 Trades.

Let me show you how it all works.

Don’t Get Caught Up In Stock Schemes… Start Finding High Conviction Trade Ideas

In my most recent Fast 5 winner, I spotted a trade setup in Party City (PRTY). Of course, before I even put my money behind the idea… I conducted my due diligence.

Here’s exactly what I sent out to my clients:

(Missed out on this alert? Sorry… but you don’t have to miss any more. Click here to see how Fast 5 Trades could help you achieve trading success)

If you look at the Fast 5 Trade alert above, everything was written out for my clients… all they had to do was execute. The best part: they didn’t have to worry about being caught up in a wild scheme.

Why?

Well, the holding period for Fast 5 Trades is 5 days or less. The goal is to be in on Monday and out before Friday. Let me break it down, and show you why this could be a solution for finding the best plays out there.

There was a positive catalyst (insider buying). Not only that, but there was a bullish chart setup. I don’t know about you… but if insiders are buying a stock, that’s a signal there could be some news on the way.

Of course, it’s not enough to just have a trade idea… it’s important to have a clear trade plan with buy, stop-loss, and target zones. Now, if you received the alert and followed the plan… you could’ve locked in a 15% winner real quick.

The best part: I don’t just alert Fast 5 clients and leave them hanging I actually break down the trade after.

Here’s a screenshot of what I sent out to clients after the trade went down… so they know what to do the next time they see a similar setup.

That’s really all it takes… execute the trade and wait for the trade break down to study it. That way, you could avoid getting caught up in Wall Street scandals.
