Chris’ note: We’re always on the hunt for new ideas about how to move the needle on your wealth without taking big risks.
And over the past six months, master trader Jeff Clark has created the ultimate low-risk portfolio. It lets you target 100%+ winners without needing to put a single penny of your money down.
So far, the strategy has pulled in gains of $3,200, $3,940, and $5,090. And it’s given his subscribers the chance to make as much as $70,917 in profits since last October.
Tomorrow (Saturday, May 13) at 11 am ET, Jeff’s holding a free workshop to reveal all about it. He’ll demonstrate, on camera, this new strategy. He’ll also reveal the next group of stocks he’s targeting.

Stock market crashes are a nightmare for everyday investors.
After all the years waiting for gains to build up, they evaporate in a matter of weeks.
You don’t need to hear that from me. This bear market, combined with inflation, caught a lot of investors off guard. And a lot of folks are now worse off for it.
Retirement accounts are a lot smaller than they were. And folks who got in during the “panic buying” stage at the end of the bull market are now sitting on substantial losses.
That’s why I’m writing to you today…
You see, it doesn’t have to be this way. Although many fortunes are lost in market crises, many more fortunes can be made in the aftermath.
If that sounds absurd, keep reading. By following some simple advice, you can achieve similar results… starting today.
Profiting From Past Crises
Take the Black Monday stock market crash.
It happened on October 19, 1987. And it took the Dow down nearly 23% in a single day.
That’s the largest one-day crash in the index’s history.
But during the lead-up to Black Monday, I was able to multiply my money 10 times…
Then, following the dot-com crash in 2000, my trades resulted in a seven-figure windfall for my clients at my former brokerage firm.
(I sold my firm at the end of September 2007 right before the 2008 crash. That surely qualifies me for some sort of market-timing award).
Longtime readers know how well I did in the financial crisis of 2008. If you’d followed my recommendations back then, you could’ve doubled your money – or more – on 18 trades.
How is this possible?
It has to do with three trading habits most everyday investors don’t follow…
Crisis Trading Secret No. 1 – Fight the urge to trade with the crowd
This is harder than it seems.
When the stock market marches higher each day, it’s uncomfortable to sit on the sidelines waiting for a more profitable entry point.
Seeing the gains other folks are making each day doesn’t help.
But there’s a big difference between the investor who bought out of FOMO (fear of missing out) right before the S&P 500 peaked in January… and the one who waited for better prices.
The former is praying the stock market will come back to where it was before the crash. The other is happily buying stocks at bargain prices.
Crisis Trading Secret No. 2 – Remember that what goes up must come down
As soon as it seems a stock market rally will go on forever, that’s about the time you know the party is coming to an end.
Often, the last legs of an overextended rally draw in the least-informed investors… and saddles them with massive losses.
Knowing how to spot these moments is key to finding opportunities in crisis markets.
Sometimes that means sitting on the sidelines as the rally continues. Accepting that is key to being a responsible trader.
Crisis Trading Secret No. 3 – Know the best trades are the toughest to make
I sat out most of the stock market’s rally late last year.
Then, when the market crashed, I was ready to step in and start buying.
It was uncomfortable. Nobody knew how far the market would fall.
I had to accept that I might lose money even on the lower entry points I was buying at. But I knew it made more sense to buy at those levels than late last year.
For example, on January 24, I made a call that the S&P 500 was setting up for a rally.
It was trading at about 4,100 points at the time. And most people didn’t believe it would go higher.
But by February 2, the S&P 500 had rallied to a high of 4,589 points. That’s a 12% gain.
Had you followed my chart analysis and trade recommendations, you would have bought when everyone else was selling. But you also would have profited.
For example, just one day after making that call, my subscribers closed out of a long trade for a 90% gain… and then closed another the day after that for a 133% gain.
Golden Thread
There’s a golden thread that ties these habits together.
To be a successful crisis trader, you need to learn to control your emotions.
We humans are emotional, irrational beings. Greed and fear pull us one way or another.
Learning to recognize and control these emotions – and counteract them – is essential.
There’s a lot more specific guidance I give to my subscribers about how to trade in a crisis scenario.
If you’re looking for a way to consistently pull in thousands of dollars a month in today’s volatile market, then you’ll want to tune into my free workshop tomorrow at 11 a.m. ET.
For the first time, I’m holding a 30-minute demonstration to reveal the details of this strategy… why it’s so effective in today’s market… and the type of stocks I’m targeting for low-risk triple-digit gains in this market.
I hope to see you there. Here’s the automatic sign-up link again.
Best regards and good trading,
