Everyone knows George Soros. He is among the best-known hedge fund managers in history … a swaggering, swashbuckling financial pirate who broke the Bank of England and made a billion dollars with a single trade. Yeah, that’s not me. You will never see me bet it all on a single big trade like that. It’s not my style, and I don’t have the temperament for that. I also don’t have billions of dollars to play around with. Instead, I build systems — simple, elegant, repeatable systems. I prefer to make a steady series of winning bets rather than massive outsized bets on things that are out of my control. Call me the “anti-Soros,” if you will. But at least I sleep easy at night. I don’t take losses often. And when I do, I dust myself off, go back to my process and get right back to it. In today's helter-skelter market, most investors would be happy with stocks yielding 4% or 5%. But they'd be setting their sights too low. Because I've built a portfolio that pays us a 69% cash on cash return — with no leverage, options or gimmicks. | | A Rough Month September has been a volatile month. The S&P 500 has lost more than 3.5% since September 1, and that was after enjoying a 22% run-up since the first trading day of 2021. A lot of factors drive that market weakness. To start, there’s the looming debt ceiling crisis dominating the headlines. I’d like to think our leaders are smart enough not to allow a national debt default, but we won’t know for sure until it happens! There’s also the Federal Reserve. Chairman Jerome Powell made it clear that the Fed will reduce its bond purchases sooner rather than later. The central bank will also raise interest rates eventually. Then there’s China’s Evergrande debt crisis and the fact that these are historically the weakest months in regard to market performance. You make the trade on Monday … relax for 48 hours … and then close it on Wednesday. It couldn't be any simpler. Yet the profits using Adam O'Dell's new two-day trading strategy are out of this world. With top-performing trades like 519% in two days… 440% in two days… 400% in two days… | | Soros Has Instinct — We Have a Plan The beauty of my systems is that I don’t have to worry about any of this. I don’t bet the farm on any single trade. Unexpected news from the Fed, or some new blow up coming out of China, can cause a trade to go the wrong way on me. But when that happens, I simply close out the trade and wait for my next entry. Rinse and repeat. I mentioned last week that I trade based on calendar patterns — regular, exploitable patterns that repeat themselves each week. Here’s a quick breakdown: - Mondays and Fridays tend to be weaker and historically show losses on average.
- Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are positive on average.
- The greatest returns happen on Tuesdays.
Why? We can only hypothesize. Perhaps traders take profits on Fridays to avoid having exposure over the weekend. Maybe, fresh off the weekend, investors make portfolio changes on Mondays and then reallocate on Tuesdays. We don’t have a definitive answer. But the pattern is real, and it’s at the core of my newest trading strategy. It’s a simple, two-day approach to trading. You’re in on Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. Eastern time … and out again 48 hours later, on Wednesday. We follow this same pattern every week. We tested the strategy in-house for the past six months. During that testing period, we beat the market by 51 times. Yes, you read that right. We beat the market by a factor of 51. And we aren’t done. In fact, we’re just getting started! We just opened to door on my new Wednesday Windfalls service, and the response has been tremendous. But here’s the thing … the doors are closing on this offer later today. I’m not sure when they will reopen. If you want to gain access to my weekly recommendations, today is your last chance to get in on this offer.
