Why I Am Switching My Strategy

by | Dec 30, 2024

Using “Bear Proof” Trades Right Now

This year, the stock market has delivered a staggering “melt-up” gain of 24% (in spite of some rocky moments including the last few weeks!)

But here’s the kicker: just seven stocks are responsible for the bulk of these gains. While that might sound like good news, the broader economic picture paints a scarier reality.

The national debt has surged to a record-breaking $36 trillion, and inflation remains stubbornly high.

It’s fair to say we’re walking a razor’s edge right now.

As you probably know by now, I am not one to predict big market turnarounds – I follow momentum and use clues to plot out potential paths.

In these kinds of conditions we have something unique though: Momentum in both directions.

For investors, this environment is fraught with both opportunity and risk. That’s why I often shift to strategy selection vs just stock selection.

Enter the most dynamic trading strategy I’ve ever seen: “Bear Proof” Trades.

What Are “Bear Proof” Trades?

The idea behind “bear proof” trades is simple: they offer a way to profit regardless of whether the market is soaring or slumping. These trades aren’t magic, nor are they foolproof—but they do give you a true dual-momentum opportunity.

Consider this: in March, when the tech sector slumped 9%, this strategy could have turned a $5,000 investment into $10,885. That’s more than doubling your money in one of the most volatile months of the year. And it’s not because I predicted anything. I just had a trade that could win with momentum in either direction.

In that case we got a bearish run… And the strategy was ready.

That’s why I think it’s an ideal approach to have now, too.

Now, let me be clear: results like these are exceptional. No strategy wins all the time, and losses are part of the game.

But what sets “bear proof” trades apart is that the average winner is about 2X the average loser.

Why “Bear Proof” Trades Shine

In today’s market, uncertainty rules. Will those top seven stocks continue driving the market higher? Or will they falter, leading to a meltdown? The beauty of “bear proof” trades is that they’re designed to thrive in either scenario. Whether it’s a melt-up or a meltdown, we legitimately don’t care…

The secret lies in strategic execution—focusing on trades with the potential for asymmetric rewards. That means carefully managing risk so that the gains from your winners significantly outweigh the impact of your losers.

Over time, this tilts the odds in your favor.
