The Wildest Trade of the 2000s Is Making a Comeback

Everyone’s a genius in a bull market. But who can we say the same about when the trend shifts? 

Who do you turn to now that the Nasdaq 100 has sunk 4% over a couple of weeks, potentially breaking a yearslong trend in tech and AI stocks? 

I know who I turn to. It’s Jeff Clark. 

Jeff’s a 40-year trading veteran who’s navigated Black Monday in 1987, the dot-com bust, the 2008 financial crisis, the 2022 tech collapse, and countless more episodes of volatility.  

In each of those periods, while most investors were getting crushed, Jeff was using a specific type of market signal to position for big downside moves. 

Today, he says that same pattern — what he calls his “Doomsday Signal” — is flashing across some of the biggest stocks in the market, including several household names.  

I was taken aback to hear Jeff talking about “doomsday,” since he’s about the most level-headed veteran you can imagine. He worked out all his angst back in the dot-com days. 

So I got Jeff on the horn bright and early this past week to talk about what this Doomsday Signal is actually showing him right now. Turns out – it’s only doomsday for investors who stay in the stocks too long. And it could be an epic moneymaker for those who know how to play it. 

He also showed me why he believes options can be the most rational way to approach a “bubble-like” market. And three key charts he’s watching heading into next week. 

Watch my surprising full interview with Jeff Clark here. 

Jeff’s new Doomsday Signal is central to his trading approach right now. 

It’s showing him which high-flying tech stocks are most vulnerable to a decline. And simultaneously, he’s using an inversion of that signal to detect the forgotten stocks set to start new uptrends. 

You can find all of Jeff’s latest research right here. And I highly encourage you to check it out. 

It’s obvious what to do in a bull market. But if you want to keep trading through a bear market and come out on the other side of it potentially wealthier than you started, Jeff’s the guy to listen to. 

To building wealth beyond measure,
