It has been a long hard slog, but I finally managed to get the performance of my Trade Alert Service up once again to a new all time high.
I have not pushed forward my service?s performance numbers to loftier heights since September 29.
It had to happen sooner or later.
What finally did it was my absolute nailing of the blockbuster November nonfarm payroll at 211,000. Headline unemployment dropped to a new decade low at 5.0%.
I went into the report short the Euro (FXE), (EUO), short volatility (XIV), and long US stocks up the wazoo, especially financials (JPM), technology (MSFT), and consumer discretionaries (DIS).
When I saw the report at 5:30 AM Pacific Standard Time, I went back to bed. I knew everything would be running my way, big time, and I didn?t want to be awake to take profits too soon.
When we tallied the numbers at the end of the day, I was blinking at the largest one-day gain for Mad Hedge Fund Readers in years, up a ballistic +5.73%.
Furthermore, my five-year record catapulted to a new all time high of 199.41%. That works out to an average annualized return of an eye popping 39.88%. I have no doubt we will top the magical 200% level on Monday.
The fruit of these labors was to take the Mad Hedge Fund Trader?s profit for 2015 up to a new all time high at 46.60%.
December so far has been as hot at the Sahara Desert that I recently escaped, up a blistering 2.79%. It is a return that most hedge fund managers would kill for.
In fact hedge funds would take any return now, even a single basis point, as most are showing red ink for 2015.
It seems like only a Madman can prosper in these hopeless trading conditions.
The last ten consecutive Trade Alerts I have issued have been profitable, most instantly.
It has been a near perfect year. I said nearly.
Followers have found themselves in the green during every month of 2015, except during October, when the monster melt up short caught me short US stocks.
I started out 2015 with the goal of earning 25% for my readers during the first half, and another 25% in the second half. This latest batch of trades puts me right on track for reaching my yearend target.
Under promise and over deliver; it has always been a winning business strategy for me.
This is against a backdrop of major market indexes that are all down so far this year, despite sudden bursts of volatility and long, Sahara like stretches of boredom.
The key to winning this year has been to put the pedal to the mettle during those brief, but hair raising selloffs, and then take quick profits.
They don?t call me ?Mad? for nothing.
When the market is dead, you sit on your hands.
After all, you are trying to pay for your own yacht, not your broker?s.
When the market pays you to stay away, you stay away in droves.
Those who have made the effort to wake up early every morning and read my witty and incisive prose have an impressive row of notches on their bedpost to show for their effort.
My groundbreaking trade mentoring service was first launched in 2010. Thousands of followers now earn a full time living solely from my Trade Alerts, a development of which I am immensely proud.
Some 50% of my clients are over 50 and managing their own retirement funds fleeing the shoddy but expensive services provided by Wall Street. The balance is institutional investors, hedge funds, and professional financial advisors.
