Mad Hedge Fund Trader Blasts to New All Time High

The industry beating performance of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader’s Trade Alert Service has maintained its gobsmacking pace from last year, picking up another 14.5% profit so far in 2014.

The Dow Average was down a pitiful 1% during the same period, pegging my outperformance of the index at a stunning 15.50%. April alone is up a blistering 6.89%. The trailing 12-month return is 44.4%.  2013 closed with a total return for followers of 67.45%.

The three-year return is now an amazing 137%, compared to a far more modest increase for the Dow Average during the same period of only 31%. That brings my averaged annualized return up to 40.8%. Not bad in this zero interest rate world. It’s better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

This has been the profit since my groundbreaking trade mentoring service was 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 of.

Not a day goes by without finding grateful emails thanking me for changing their lives. Stories abound of mortgages paid off, college educations financed, and aging parents supported. Quite a few use my award winning mentoring service to finally achieve financial independence and told their bosses to go jump off a bridge.

I won’t pass on the pictures they sent me. To read the plaudits yourself, please go to my testimonials page. They are all real.

The hot streak continues.

I have been bearish on the market for a month now. I have been using every rally to sell the market short. I bought puts and put spreads in the S&P 500 (SPY), the Russell 2000 (IWM). I also built up a major long position in the (VXX), betting on a serious market swoon occurring sometime in May.

In the meantime, I quickly stopped out of long positions I had in Goldman Sachs (GS), General Electric (GE), and a short position in the Japanese yen (FXY).

I covered the case for my ultra bearish posture in detail at my April 9 Global Strategy webinar. There I posted charts showing that best case, the (SPY) is in for an 8% selloff, and worst case, is about to perform a 17% swan dive (click here for the Webinar page). Treasuries (TLT) should rocket, and the dollar (UUP) will take a dive, and gold (GLD) will get a love tap. Even crude oil (USO) is benefiting from a flight to safety bid.

My esteemed colleague, Mad Day Trader Jim Parker, was no small part of this success. Since the market became technically and momentum driven, I have been conferring with him before sending out every Trade Alert. Together, our success rate is 100%.

What would you expect with a combined 85 years of market experience between the two of us? Followers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Don’t forget that Jim clocked an amazing 2013 of a staggering 374%. That is just for an eight-month year! Followers are laughing all the way to the bank.

The coming year promises to deliver a harvest of new trading opportunities. The big driver will be a global synchronized recovery that promises to drive markets into the stratosphere in 2014.

The Trade Alerts should be coming hot and heavy. Please join me on the gravy train. You will never get a better chance than this to make money for your personal account.
