Can You Handle a “Zero-Sum” Market?

It’ll be a tough time for these investors.

Andrew’s note: Andrew Miller here, managing editor of the Market Minute, with one final reminder about Jeff’s can’t-miss special presentation tonight at 8 p.m. ET

There’s a rare move coming to the market that’s only happened twice in 50 years, and it could mean the end of profits for shareholders. But, if you know how to play it, you could make over 10 times your money by simply waiting for a specific pattern to emerge and trading it… Tonight, Jeff will fill you in on all the details.

And below, read on about how Jeff recommends traders handle themselves during this turbulent time in the markets…


Imagine a stock market that goes nowhere for the next 12 months. 

What would you do?

Would you stick with the old “buy-and-hold” strategy, knowing you wouldn’t make any money? Or, would you try to adapt to the environment and find a way to profit?

These aren’t unreasonable questions…

After all, history shows that buying stocks at lofty valuations usually generates subpar returns.

So, with the S&P 500 currently trading at a lofty 22 times earnings, and with interest rates about as low as possible, the broad stock market is likely headed for a long period of choppy, back-and-forth action.

It’s quite possible most stocks will go nowhere for the next 12 months or longer.

How will that feel? 

Well… just ask shareholders in IBM, Intel (INTC), AT&T (T), Citigroup (C), Exxon Mobil (XOM), and any number of other blue-chip stocks that haven’t done anything since 2018. That’s right… all of these stocks trade today for just about the same prices they traded at three years ago.

Of course, these stocks didn’t just flat line. They had rally phases. And, they had decline phases. But, if you bought any of these stocks three years ago, and held on until today, you made nothing.

That’s what we call a “zero-sum” market

That’s a tough environment for typical buy-and-hold investors. But, it can be a paradise for traders.

Think about it this way…

Buy-and-hold investors who bought shares of technology behemoth Cisco Systems (CSCO) two years ago have earned nothing. The stock has been higher, and it has been lower. And, those moves have canceled each other out – creating a zero-sum movement.

Traders, though, could’ve had a much better experience – by waiting patiently for a very specific pattern to emerge, and then taking advantage of that pattern to achieve large, fast gains.

This is how I’ve booked 14 different 100% gains for my subscribers this year alone.

For example, I targeted CSCO for my subscribers last October. We had CSCO on our watchlist and we waited patiently for a specific pattern to emerge. As soon as it did, we booked a 120% gain in just 16 days on a single recommended trade.

Rather than buying and holding the stock for two years and making nothing, we traded CSCO and saw the chance to more than double our money in about two weeks. And, that’s the sort of action I expect we’ll see much more frequently over the next three years.

The pattern that triggers these fast, profitable trades is called an “M-Wave.” It shows up in stocks that are stuck in zero-sum movements.

It showed up in the chart of CSCO last October. It showed up several times in Citigroup last year. It showed up in a lot of gold stock charts this past spring (which is how we’ve booked 9 different 100% gains in the precious metals market this spring alone.)

And, as the market morphs into a zero-sum environment, we should have lots of opportunities to trade this pattern in the weeks and months ahead.

Best regards and good trading,

Jeff Clark
