Tipping Point 2026 is a free, one‑time live event on Tuesday, December 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern where 50‑year Wall Street legend Marc Chaikin and TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan will reveal why they believe a Great Bear Market could hit in 2026—and how their new Flash Crash Screener and sell‑timing system can help you protect your portfolio and still target big gains in the turbulent year ahead.
Why Tipping Point 2026 Could Be the Most Important Event on Your Calendar
Tipping Point 2026 is being positioned as a line‑in‑the‑sand moment for anyone with money in U.S. stocks. On Tuesday, December 16 at 10 a.m. Eastern, 50‑year Wall Street veteran Marc Chaikin will go live with a stark warning: he believes 2026 has a 65% chance of ushering in the next Great Bear Market, with a potential 20%+ decline in the S&P 500 and devastating “Flash Crashes” in individual stocks—some even before the new year begins.
He’s teaming up for the first time with TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan, whose sell‑timing algorithms have a history of flagging major downturns like the 2000 dot‑com bust, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 COVID crash before they hit.
The goal of Tipping Point 2026 is not to scare you out of the market; it’s to hand you a concrete, data‑driven battle plan for the “Year of the Bear” ahead: when to sell, what to avoid, and where to move your money instead—so you can sidestep potential portfolio‑wrecking losses and still aim for triple‑digit gains in select opportunities.
Registration is free, takes only an email (and optional phone number for VIP reminders), and comes with powerful pre‑event tools, including access to a new Flash Crash Screener and a live‑only $599 report on 26 popular stocks you may own right now.
Who Is Behind Tipping Point 2026?
Marc Chaikin: A 50‑year Wall Street legend
Marc Chaikin is not a newcomer to market timing claims. Over a five‑decade career, he has:
-
Survived nine bear markets and worked with major hedge‑fund names like Paul Tudor Jones, George Soros, Michael Steinhardt, and Steve Cohen.
-
Invented a money‑flow indicator that is embedded in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal and used by banks and hedge funds worldwide.
-
Built the Chaikin Power Gauge, a stock‑rating system now followed by roughly 800,000–900,000 investors across more than 100 countries.
In recent years, Chaikin has made a series of high‑profile annual calls:
-
Early 2022: warned the post‑COVID bull market was about to roll over—before stocks fell into a bear market.
-
Early 2023: predicted an “extraordinary recovery” with 20%+ upside—followed by a 26% S&P 500 gain that year.
-
Early 2024: doubled down on the bull market with a forecast later shown to be more accurate than 20 Wall Street institutions.
-
Early 2025: warned of a violent shift just before the S&P plunged 19% in the tariff‑driven selloff.
CNBC’s Jim Cramer has publicly said he “almost never” wants to be on the other side of a Chaikin trade and calls his work simple, rational, and constantly useful. That track record is why his new warning about a Great Bear Market of 2026—and the specific timing he’s attaching to it—demands attention.
Keith Kaplan: The “when to sell” technologist
Keith Kaplan is the CEO of TradeSmith, a financial technology company whose tools help more than 134,000 investors monitor over $29 billion in assets. TradeSmith is known for quantitative “Bear Market Alerts” and smart Sell Signals designed to pinpoint optimal exit points before major drawdowns. In backtests and live use, the firm’s algorithms:
-
Flagged a bear‑market alert for the overall U.S. market in February 2020, just ahead of a 25% crash in the S&P 500.
-
Would have warned investors in November 2007, before the Great Recession cascade and a 52% drop in the S&P.
-
Would have triggered in late 2000 near the top of the dot‑com bubble, before a nearly 40% market decline.
At the individual‑stock level, TradeSmith’s customized sell alerts would have identified exit points in some of the worst casualty names—airlines during 2020, banks during 2008, and leading tech stocks during 2000—before their most brutal losses.
In Tipping Point 2026, Kaplan brings this sell‑timing expertise into a new collaboration with Chaikin to create “next‑generation” software specifically tuned to the unique volatility and AI‑driven patterns they expect in 2026.
What Is Tipping Point 2026?
A live, one‑time broadcast on December 16
Tipping Point 2026 is a live online event scheduled for Tuesday, December 16 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. Once you register with your email, you’ll receive a private link to the broadcast page, along with pre‑event content and reminders. The agenda includes:
-
Chaikin’s full explanation of why he believes there is a 65% chance 2026 will usher in the next Great Bear Market with an average 20% market drop.
-
A walkthrough of over 100 years of historical market data that underpin his prediction.
-
Kaplan’s explanation of the structural change in how markets move today—hyper‑reactive to headlines and algorithms—and why this makes traditional “buy and hold” especially dangerous in 2026.
-
The debut of a brand‑new investment software tool, the Flash Crash Screener, designed to detect “bearish tremors” that can precede sharp, swift losses in individual stocks.
-
Two live recommendations:
-
The #1 stock to SELL before January 1 to avoid a potentially devastating hit to your wealth.
-
The #1 stock to BUY before January 1 for what they see as the highest near‑term upside in a turbulent 2026.
-
The presenters are clear: this is not about options trading, futures, or obscure derivatives. It’s about timing entries and exits in plain‑vanilla stocks using new risk‑management tech—so you can potentially double or triple your money in select names even if the broader market struggles.
Why “Tipping Point”?
Chaikin and Kaplan describe December as a tipping point because they believe a chain reaction is already underway:
-
In the last major selloff, the S&P lost billions per minute for over an hour, and individual names suffered brutal drops at record speed.
-
AI‑driven trading strategies and automated “headline‑reactive” flows have made markets more fragile and more prone to sudden air pockets.
-
Big money investors—from Warren Buffett to Wall Street CEOs—are openly reducing risk, even as retail accounts remain heavily exposed.
Their view is that while the index‑level bear market may not fully unfold until 2026, the damage in individual stocks will start earlier, in the form of Flash Crashes—lightning‑fast drops of 20–30% or more in days or weeks, not months. Tipping Point 2026 is designed to help you spot those landmines before you step on them.
What Is the Flash Crash Screener—and Why It Matters
A “lite” beta you can use today
One of the strongest reasons to register early is immediate access to a lite beta of the Flash Crash Screener, a new software tool created specifically for this event. Until December 16, registrants can:
-
Enter up to 10 stock tickers they own or are considering.
-
See whether each name currently shows a RED lightning bolt (elevated Flash‑Crash risk in the coming weeks) or a GREEN lightning bolt (no Flash‑Crash warning; may even have short‑term upside).
The Screener is built to surface subtle, early warning signs—volatility patterns, trend breakdowns, and other factors—that historically have preceded 20–30%+ plunges in names like The Trade Desk, Bath & Body Works, and other recent casualties. It’s designed with everyday investors in mind: you don’t need to interpret complex charts; the signal is front‑and‑center.
This temporary access is free, but it shuts off once the live event begins at 10 a.m. on December 16, making it a genuinely time‑sensitive benefit.
How the Screener feeds into your 2026 plan
Chaikin and Kaplan emphasize that avoiding catastrophic losses is just as important as chasing new winners. By using the Screener to vet your holdings now, you can:
-
Identify any “ticking time bombs” in your portfolio—stocks that look fine at a glance but are showing internal stress under the surface.
-
Decide which names to lighten up or exit before year‑end, freeing up cash for stronger opportunities.
-
Arrive at the Tipping Point 2026 broadcast with a concrete list of questions and tickers you care about.
During the event, they’ll demonstrate the full software (beyond the lite version), show backtests where it would have flagged big winners like Zepp Health before an 873% move in under 100 days, and explain how to use it to seek 100–300% gains in the first half of 2026—even in a choppy market.

What You’ll Learn on December 16
A data‑driven case for the Great Bear Market of 2026
During the live Tipping Point 2026 broadcast, Chaikin will lay out why decades of historical patterns suggest a 65% probability that 2026 will see a bear market, with an average market drop around 20%. You’ll see:
-
How long‑term cycles tend to produce major tops and bear markets in the second half of a presidential term—aligning with his expectation of a peak and downturn around 2026.
-
Why recent volatility and mini‑crashes should be viewed as early tremors, not isolated freak events.
-
How AI‑driven trading and new market microstructure dynamics increase the odds of sudden air pockets and Flash Crashes.
Kaplan will then show how their new software translates that big‑picture risk into specific, actionable signals on individual stocks—giving you a clear way to decide which positions to cut, which to keep, and where to re‑deploy capital.
Two live tickers you can use immediately
One of the biggest draws of Tipping Point 2026 is the promise of two concrete stock calls:
-
The #1 stock to SELL before January 1.
This is a name their software and research suggest could be hit especially hard in the coming turbulence, making it a prime candidate to exit while prices are still elevated. -
The #1 stock to BUY before January 1.
This is a stock they believe could be a standout winner even in a choppy 2026, with backtests indicating the potential for 100–300% gains in a relatively short span if conditions play out as expected.
The event is structured so that you can write these down and act on them through your own broker if you choose—no subscription required to get the tickers.
Why This Event Matters Even If You’re Skeptical
It’s healthy to be skeptical of any bold market prediction. Chaikin and Kaplan acknowledge this directly and insist on backing their warnings with data and backtests, not just rhetoric. But even if you’re not fully convinced a 2026 bear market is imminent, Tipping Point 2026 offers several advantages that are hard to ignore:
-
You’ll see how professionals think about risk when valuations are stretched and volatility is changing character.
-
You’ll learn how to use objective, rules‑based tools to decide when to sell, instead of relying on gut feel or headlines.
-
You’ll get free, specific guidance on dozens of widely held stocks—through the Flash Crash Screener, the five daily sell alerts, and the 26‑stock $599 report.
In past crises, the investors who had a plan—and followed it—often came out far ahead of those who froze or reacted late. Tipping Point 2026 is designed to give you that plan before the next storm hits.
