How About a Quick 25% Gain?

Amanda Heckman|July 16, 2022

The recession drumbeat is growing louder…

But through another turbulent week in the markets, Manward showed readers how to profit when things are down.

You may have heard…

Last week, Andy introduced his elite Alpha Money Flow subscribers to a brand-new trading strategy… what he’s calling “sniper shots.”

It’s an ultra-short-term bear market strategy. And it’s already paying off.

In just one week, subscribers took a 25% gain playing the downward momentum of Yelp (YELP).

The online business review platform was once a Wall Street darling. But these days, it’s just more kindling for the fire.

Andy’s “sniper shot” strategy worked just as designed.

As he explained to his readers, “We’re making a quick play on a moving target. We’ll get in… get out… and move on.”

In Yelp’s case, the opportunity was clear…

One of the main reasons to be bearish on Yelp’s growth prospects is simply its competition. We know how volatile internet players can be. One minute, they’re consumers’ top pick… The next, they’re old news.

With stiff competition from Google, Yahoo, Tripadvisor and OpenTable, gaining market share is a tough endeavor. And a stiff recession has historically proven to be the catalyst that shakes things up.

Andy hit it dead-on. Yelp’s stock fell steadily after he made the recommendation.

Rather than be greedy, Andy told folks to take their gains ahead of expected volatility next week (as the Federal Reserve weighs the size of its next rate hike).

A quick double-digit gain… in this market? It was music to subscribers’ ears.

The Perfect Strategy for RIGHT NOW

Now, while we cheer these gains – and plan to deliver more of them – it’s important to understand we’re not shorting the market.

No… with the markets reacting like a hormonal teenager to every piece of news that comes out – up one minute, down another – we’re tuning out the noise and making extremely targeted short-term plays.

That’s the brilliance of Andy’s strategy.

And once the recession is “officially” declared (remember, the latest GDP figures come out July 28), things could change very quickly in the markets… especially if the Fed is involved.

So we’ll use put selling to make some quick gains while we wait for things to play out (exactly as we predicted they would way back in January).

To be fair, put selling and shorting stocks aren’t for the faint of heart. In fact, they can be downright dangerous when done wrong. But with the right guidance, it’s possible to use them to make up for this year’s losses and set your portfolio on the right path again.

These days, they’re the perfect tools for a difficult job.

But they aren’t the only tools we have at our disposal.
