3 ways you can bet against a stock šŸ“‰

I hate to do it, but sometimes you need to bet against stocks.

And nowā€¦ā€œWhen you genuinely accept the risks, you will be at peace with any outcome.ā€

This is a great quote from Mark Douglas in his book, Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline, and a Winning Attitude (one of the best if you havenā€™t read it!).

I share it with you today because not only is it 100% true, but also because itā€™s particularly relevant in the current environment where market chop is worse than a Japanese chef katsuramuki-ing vegetables.

Unfortunately, just like I get drawn into charts and data when studying the markets, I got suckered into a black hole of YouTube videos while researching the name for that technique.

But if you truly accept the risks of trading ā€“ or knife-wielding ā€“ you will be at peace with your wins AND losses. I assure you: Itā€™s not personal when it comes to the market. So donā€™t make it personal from your end either.

Thatā€™s why I encourage you to embrace making the trade, whether itā€™s to the upside or downside. Trading is hard. Results are never guaranteed. Accept that and makešŸ‘ thešŸ‘ trades.

This is particularly important in our current environment. I see continued weakness in bonds, I expect volatility to remain high, and large, market-leading stocks are struggling.

My 20+ years of trading intuition is telling me to bet against stocks right now.

GASP! How unpatriotic ā€œEl Jefe!ā€

Nope. Thatā€™s just smart trading šŸ¤“.

There are several ways you can bet against stocks. Here are the top three ways I look to make ā€œbearishā€ šŸ»trades:

1) You can simply ā€œshortā€ the stock.  

This is where you borrow the stock from someone else, sell it today, and then hope the price goes down so you can buy it back cheaper. Then, you give the shares back to the person you borrowed them from, and pocket the difference as your profit šŸ’ø(assuming the stock price goes down.)

2) Or you could do what I did with NVDA this week. You buy ā€œput optionsā€ on the stock. This is a simple bet using options that can profit if you get the direction and timing right on a stock dropping in price.

This is how it worked out on NVDAā€¦

*Trading is hard, results not guaranteed and should not be expected to be replicated typically

If you are correct when buying puts, you can make well over 100% profitā€¦ especially when you nail the trade properly. That said, I reiterate, trading is hard and there are no guarantees.

There are literally thousands of contracts to consider when you trade options. Iā€™m great at teaching people how to find the perfect options that make the most sense for my goals.

3) The other way I bet against stocks is to sell calls.

Now, if you buy calls, you are betting that a stock is going higher.

If you sell calls to someone else, you are taking their money and hoping the stock doesnā€™t go higher. If you are right, then you can keep up to 100% of the money you collected from the buyer.

Selling calls is a pretty fun strategy (it is my personal favorite) because this has the highest probability of working out.

Itā€™s how Iā€™m marching ever closer to my goal of making $120,000 in 12 months.

Iā€™m all about transparency, so you can view my track record from the last 3 monthsā€¦ and monitor my progress going forward.

I am pretty proud of the strategy I have developed. It gives me the confidence that I can (though not guaranteed) hit my $10,000 monthly profit target without taking obscene risks, or worrying about which way the market is headed tomorrow.

In fact, from the sheet above, you can see that I have already hit my $10,000 goal for October ā€“ and I still have another 11 days to hopefully add MORE GAINS to this!

*Trading is hard, results not guaranteed and should not be expected to be replicated typically

This is a great example of what I mean when I say that I am teaching people how to have a ā€œrisk-definedā€ trading strategy when selling options.

That means you have a fixed amount you can either win or lose on the trade.

If you enter a trade with that in mind, then you can take advantage of a strategy that should win more often than it loses while at the same time making sure you donā€™t blow up your account ā€“ because you know exactly how much you can lose on the trade before you start on it.

I teach this strategy with my own real money account in my Alpha Hunter service every day. As I mentioned, itā€™s how Iā€™m progressing through my challenge ā€“ no matter how the market performs.

Members have the opportunity to access live training from me each week, daily email updates on my trades and portfolio, and also app alerts before I get into trades.

I canā€™t think of a better time to join Alpha Hunter than right now.

This is a very difficult trading environment. You will definitely benefit from having the insights of 20+ year trading veteran on your side every day.

As you watch and learn how I am making these trades, you are guaranteed to become a better, more confident trader yourself.

Heck, maybe youā€™ll even take some of these winning trades with me!

So if you want to learn a new skill but want to keep your fingers, Alpha Hunter is the place to be.

It is even what I taught my son to doā€¦

*thanks again to my amazing production team for capturing my best looks

But yes this is the strategy I sat with my son for eight weeks training him live this yearā€¦and I would love to teach you as well. And if my memory serves me wellā€¦

There is absolutely no reason why you shouldnā€™t become an Alpha Hunter yourself and learn how to take control of the market with me, chop and all.

Hereā€™s to YOUR success,
