How S&A's New "Direct Line" is Helping our Readers make Thousands of Dollars a Day...
"God, I hope this is a Keeper."
*S&A Member Adam Eaton
Dear Reader,
About three months ago, we launched a beta version of a brand-new trading concept...
It's called the "Direct Line."
Unlike our monthly advisories – or even our weekly trading service – the idea behind the "Direct Line" was to take advantage of the daily opportunities in the market...
I'm talking about trades you can make in just a few minutes or a few hours a day...
To make it happen, we set up a real-time blog on our S&A website, and began sending market alerts every few hours to a small group of readers around the world.
We hoped we could generate enough ideas to show these men and women a respectable gain each week.
But nothing could have prepared us for the results of our first poll...
One reader in London reported:
"I traded in line with your view on market direction and scalped about 200 pounds ($300). I can see a case for one making at least 200 pounds on a daily basis."Another survey came back:
"My approximate upside is $20,000 and growing."An investment advisor at a major NYSE firm noted:
"The Direct Line has allowed me to lock in thousands of dollars in gains."And one trader simply replied:
"God, I hope this is a keeper."Because our trial period has proven so successful, we're now making the Direct Line available to all S&A members in good standing.
Here's what you need to know...
The man in charge of running the Direct Line is 25-year trading veteran Jeff Clark, editor of The S&A Short Report.
Since Jeff started writing The Short Report back in 2005, he's made 45 different recommendations that went up 100% or more.
45 doubles in 45 months – an average of one every four weeks.
Do you know what a double every four weeks does to your portfolio?
Just ask Short Report reader Joan Kerry. "I've made $58,000 since August," she says.
Or subscriber John Glanville...
"Without question, the best moneymaking advice of any subscription I've ever had."
Now that he's writing the Direct Line every weekday, Jeff's got even more chances to come up with some big winners.
And he's certainly been up to the task...
Every weekday morning, Jeff turns on his Bloomberg terminal, uploads his charts, streams his quotes, and logs onto the Direct Line.
From the minute the market opens, he's analyzing every up and down – looking for patterns and trends that could signal a chance to make some quick, easy money.
Here's one of his first posts, back in October...
Thursday, October 30, 2008 - 9:51:58 AMThe trade was on...
The first logical area of resistance for the S&P 500 is yesterday's high just above 963. We're zeroing in on that level right now. So anyone looking to go short won't find a much better setup.
Then... exactly 55 minutes later...
Thursday, October 30, 2008 - 10:47:28 AMOne trade, one hour. In and out.
963 proved to be strong resistance for the S&P. The index is now more than 20 points below that level.
If you shorted near the highs then now is a good time to cover.
And that was just the beginning...
One week later, Jeff spotted another perfect opportunity...
Thursday, November 06, 2008 - 11:21:29 AMHere's how it turned out...
Okay, folks... we're zeroing in on the 920 level for the S&P 500. AND, the short term charts are starting to show positive divergence.
Aggressive traders can start scaling in with small positions right here.
I like STLD and ATI from the bonus list.
Monday, November 10, 2008 - 8:27:59 AMOver the past few months he's done it over and over again – recommending a number of points at which to buy and sell as the market swung up and down.
Good Morning.
We're starting off this morning, and this week, with a good ol' fashioned buying panic. Stock market futures are way up. Gold is way up. Oil is way up.
It's nothing but sunshine and lollipops.
Traders who bought stocks when the S&P plowed through 920 on the downside can scalp profits this morning.
How much could you have made from these short little bursts?
Well, one Direct Line tester, Dan Tighlman, wrote in to say: "I bought a small investment in a double S&P fund and from one afternoon to the next morning... I made $8,000."
"I love [this]," added Kimberly Simms. "I figure at the end of a year's time, I could produce an additional $60,000 to $75,000."
"It's the only way to trade these crazy markets," remarked Sal Harris.
Because we consider Jeff's work so valuable to our franchise, our initial intention when starting the Direct Line was to charge a fairly sizeable yearly fee.
We may still.
But for now, we're making it available as a special, free addition to Jeff's weekly trading sevice, The S&A Short Report.
You see, Jeff's work in the Direct Line is very stripped down. His posts are quick – sometimes just a few paragraphs. He basically tells you where he thinks the market is going day-to-day... and how to profit from it.
If you want to fully understand Jeff's style of trading – and where his ideas are coming from – it's important that you have access to his full body of work, including the technical indicators he uses and the terminology he employs.
This is especially true for new Direct Line members.
Please keep in mind: Your trial subscription to The Short Report is entirely risk-free. In fact, if you don't find it as profitable as I think you will, I'll pay for it.
More on that in a minute...
But first, let me tell you what else you can expect from Jeff and his Short Report service...
As you can probably guess, Jeff's approach is totally - 100% - a short-term strategy... designed to generate the biggest gains possible in the shortest time possible.
If you're looking to conservatively sit on a stock for months or years, then Jeff's advice is not for you.
However, if spending a couple minutes in the morning – to potentially make a few thousand dollars by day's end – sounds good to you, I think Jeff's work is right up your alley.
Just consider this...
When I first met Jeff back in 2005, he was running his own brokerage firm out in San Francisco.
His clients were some of the city's wealthiest men and women – presidents, CEOs... millionaires many times over.
The smallest amount Jeff would even consider running was $250,000.
You don't build and maintain a client list like this unless you're doing something right. So I knew right away Jeff was very good at what he did.
But nothing could have prepared me for just how good...
I asked him how well he'd done trading options in the past year. Imagine my shock when I discovered:
Average gain: 220%.His list of winners included 1,007% on Netflix... 343% on Martha Stewart Living... and nearly 1,285% on Strayer Education.
Even more impressive:
He hadn't had a single loss all year.One of Jeff's clients told me:
"Mr. Clark has been managing my money since 1998, and he has produced exceptional returns. No matter whether the stock market is moving up or down, he somehow manages to find a strategy that works."
Ever since joining our team, his track record has gotten even more amazing.
Last year alone, he booked a 1,458% total return.
That kind of success turns a modest $10,000 into over $140,000. A $70,000 portfolio become $1 MILLION.
Considering the rest of the market plunged 40%, I'd say that's pretty good.
Now let me show you how he does it...
A 250% Gain before the Year even Started
On Tuesday, December 2nd, Jeff sent an email to his subscribers. He had already found his first trade for 2009.
"And we won't have to wait a whole year to cash in on it," he wrote. "We'll close it out by March."
The trade was silver.
The price of silver had sunk to $9.38 an ounce by that point. A 50% drop from just four months prior. Take a look at the chart...
Most traders probably wouldn't go near silver – or trade any stock associated with it. But Jeff's veteran eye spotted an opportunity.
He wrote:
For the past six weeks, silver has been stuck in a trading range between $8.75 and $10.50.At the time, Silver Wheaton calls were trading for 60 cents apiece.
Ultimately... I expect silver could rally back up to its summertime high at $19 per ounce.
The best way to take advantage of the coming rally in silver is to buy Silver Wheaton calls.
Exactly two weeks later – on December 16, 2008 – Jeff told his readers it was time to get out.
Silver Wheaton calls had skyrocketed to $2.10 – a 250% gain in 14 days.
Jeff's first trade of 2009 – the one he thought he'd hold until March – was a huge winner before 2009 even started.
It's exactly the kind of success – an understatement – that Jeff's readers get used to very quickly...
Just consider Jeff's recommendation of Palomar back in July...
Here's a stock going straight down – a stock most analysts would never look twice at.
But on July 21st, Jeff wrote to his readers:
We're looking at a truly explosive situation here. We could make 300% gains in a month.Sure enough, look what happened on July 23rd – just two days later...
The stock popped. Anyone who followed his advice made 490% – even more than he predicted.
Most analysts would never promise a gain of 300% in one month. And I don't know of anyone that would promise 300%... and deliver 490%.
But at this point, it's what I expect from Jeff. And I'm not the only one...
As one of Jeff's readers, Mike Sampson, recently wrote: "It's amazing how accurate he is... "
Just how exactly does he spot these trades?
Let me show you what he's looking at in more detail...
Consider this chart for PowerShares (QQQQ).
Do you see a pattern here? Most people don't. But look again...
See the 3 spikes at the top?
That's a classic "head-and-shoulders" pattern. According to Jeff, it's a sure signal the stock is getting ready to TANK.
In this case, the pattern's distorted, making it difficult to spot...
But Jeff picks it off at the very top of the head...
"It's just a matter of time," he wrote to his readers. "Be prepared to take profits at a moment's notice."
He was right. Look what happened...
A "down" pattern appears on October 31st...
Jeff pulls the trigger. The stock tanks.
His recommended option play saw a 122% gain in 5 days.
"Easily the fastest, most rewarding trade I've made in a long, long time," wrote subscriber Bryan Ernst.
The pattern in this example is a "head-and-shoulders" pattern. There are other patterns, like a "wedge" pattern, "triangle" pattern, and "flag" pattern.
You don't have to worry about knowing which pattern is which. Or what they mean. That's Jeff's job – one he's very good at.
The point is, Jeff's strategy breaks down stock charts according to pattern – and if you spot a classic pattern early enough, you can make a fortune.
That's exactly how Jeff booked a 1,458% total return last year – making plays like this one...
What were you doing on April 15, 2008?
For most people, it was just another Tuesday. Maybe you'd stayed up late the night before to finish your taxes.
But around 10 a.m., Jeff sent an email alert:
Semiconductor stocks are ready to make a major move... I'm betting on an upside surprise.Coming from Jeff, this alone was intriguing. Then he showed the chart...
In short, he'd found an unbelievable triangle pattern, developing over four months.
The stock was about to take off – fast. And Jeff knew it.
Get ready for some excitement. Buy the Semiconductor HOLDRs May 30 calls up to $0.80.It happened fast. Before noon, he pulled the trigger...
And within 8 hours, Jeff's recommendation soared 110% – enough to turn $5,000 into $10,500... in a single afternoon.
"Brilliant!!!" wrote subscriber Ryan Pindell.
"I just closed out for a little under $11,000!" wrote Sid Boland.
And again, if you don't know what "triangle patterns," "divergence levels," or any of those other technical terms mean, don't worry.
Jeff's written an in-depth report that details exactly how these strategies work.
The special report is called: How to Make a Fortune Spotting the Perfect Trade.
Inside, you'll learn everything you need to know about following Jeff's trading strategy, including a lexicon of trading jargon and his Three Secret Keys for finding the perfect trade.
Of course, when it comes time to trade, Jeff does all the legwork for you.
He tells you when to buy and when to sell. And he explains, in detail, the reasoning behind every recommendation he makes.
The best part: Jeff spots hundreds of plays like this every single week.
And the only stocks Jeff writes about – and recommends – are the ones he thinks are about to pop... very soon.

Because I've been watching Jeff do exactly that ever since he started writing The Short Report back in 2005.

That's 45 doubles in 45 months – an average of one every four weeks... over a four year span.
