- trading on the latest recommendation from Stansberry Research’s The Short Report. Another trade recommendation I played appears to be going well so far. It will probably return 150% in a short time.

What that first translates to is that the amount I invested doubled in three days, and I cashed in the trade. And 150% means that other trade will probably triple the investment.

The man who writes The Short Report is Jeff Clark. He called the recent turn from bull to bear market several days before it turned and while it was still a bull market. The trade that returned 100% played on this, using The Direxion Small Cap Triple Bear ETF (NYSE: TZA), which is a fund designed to return triple the inverse of the Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks. What this means is that for every move down of the Russel index, the Triple Bear moves up three times as much – and when the Russel moves up, the Triple Bear moves down three times as much.

Every trading day, Mr. Clark finds a trade that will return 1 percent, enters the trade, and then he exits the same day (or in only a few days). If you do that every trading day for a year, you can turn $7,600 into $100,000. Here is the math (Open Office required). He doesn’t post specific recommends on those trades daily – but he does provide a page that details the strategies that lead to his trade decisions. To trade this way – returning 1% each day – this can be learned.

In the specific trade recommendations he does give, he warns his readers exactly what is at stake on every trade. They are option trades, which carry greater loss potential (he recommends investing relatively lower amounts). He also generally places trades only when the potential gain is twice what you could lose.

What I’ve read of his track record seems very solid. What I have personally witnessed of it unquestionably is. This isn’t a guarantee – investing is risk. However, in this case, it is very well calculated risk.
