Larry’s Note: Tomorrow evening, my colleague and editor of Market Minute Jeff Clark is hosting a special presentation where he’ll go over a phenomenon set to occur this fall. It’s a rare “12-day window” that rips open during bear markets.

And now for the first time ever, he’s agreed to share the details on this strategy. It’s way to see “option-like” gains without touching options.

This opportunity won’t last long so click right here to join Jeff tomorrow, at 8 p.m. ET.

And below, read on about why Jeff says most investors are too scared to act on an opportunity when it arises…


Remember the dot-com bubble?

During the ‘90s, tech stocks exploded. The internet had recently been invented, and investors were jumping over themselves to invest in the “next big thing.”

It was one of the most speculative moments in market history… A meteoric rise, followed by a devastating collapse.

People weren’t buying stocks based on price earnings ratios, dividends, or valuations. Instead, they were buying based on eyeballs and page views. Stuff you couldn’t quantify… or make logic of.

It was a purely emotion-driven market… full of investors looking to get rich quick.

For example, Pets.com raised $121 million and launched in August 1998. In February 2000, they IPO’d at $11 per share. 286 days later – less than a single year – the stock sunk to $0.19 before the company went bankrupt.

But Pets.com wasn’t the only stock to crumble. During the dot-com crash, the Nasdaq shed almost 77% from its peak.

It’s simple…

A market full of dumb money is always followed by a very, very turbulent market correction.

Sound familiar?

Look at the last two years. After a historic one-day drop in March 2020 due to the pandemic, the market rallied hard. By the end of 2020, the S&P 500 had moved up 68% and the Nasdaq up even further at 88%.

To kickstart the economy, the Fed printed trillions. This influx of new money at record low rates led to mass speculation across all assets – crypto, NFTs, SPACs, growth stocks, and meme stocks all soared to new highs.

Stay-at-home traders on Reddit’s Wall Street Bets were quick to preach “buy the dip” and brag about their “diamond hands.”

But that level of growth is unsustainable. By November 2021, the Nasdaq had peaked… while the S&P 500 peaked a little later in January 2022. From that point onward, stocks tumbled.

We’re officially in a bear market now.

Believe it or not, bear markets make for some of the most profitable times in history. It’s all thanks to a rare 12-day window that opens up when the market is most turbulent.

Unfortunately, most investors are too scared to act on the opportunity when it arises.

Back in 2000 – the height of the dot-com crash – you could’ve seen a 606% gain during this 12-day window with just one stock. Or even better, the next day you could’ve made a 2,437% gain on a different stock.

These are life-changing gains… in a brutal market crash. This window happens after every major sell-off. And now, it’s set to open again.

Stocks have sold off hard in 2022. The Nasdaq is down 28% this year, while the S&P 500 fared a little better with a 20% drop.

Most people were too scared to act back in 2000, and they missed out on massive money-making opportunities.

Sadly, most people will miss this one too… unless they take advantage of this lucrative 12-day window. To help prepare the few that do, I’m hosting a special briefing tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET.
