Editor’s Note: During 2024’s historic bull run, while most investors were celebrating 20% gains… a unique trading strategy quietly generated a 274% return according to extensive backtesting… outperforming the S&P 500 by 9X.

But here’s what’s truly remarkable…

During the brutal market crash from November 2021 to June 2022 – when most portfolios were bleeding red – this same strategy could have delivered an even MORE impressive 301% total return.

This Wednesday, May 14, Oxford Club’s Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld will reveal this “all-weather” trading approach for the first time – showing you exactly how to implement it every single week, starting as soon as next Friday.

In my 20s, I started out on a trading desk where traders rarely held any positions overnight. They were day traders who got in and out of their trades in a matter of hours – and sometimes minutes.

As my career evolved and long-term investing became my focus, I shifted my goal to owning “Perpetual Dividend Raisers” for multiple years.

Now I find stocks that my readers should be able to hold indefinitely as the companies raise their payouts every year.

But that’s investing. On the trading side, it’s appealing to be in and out quickly.

With some stocks, you have to wait a few weeks for a catalyst or technical pattern to play out. And that’s fine.

There’s nothing wrong with earning double- or triple-digit returns in a few weeks or even months. Most investors would be thrilled with that kind of performance.

However, some traders enjoy the action and don’t want to wait weeks for the payoff. They prefer to be in and out in a matter of days or sometimes within the same day.

While trading is more speculative, there are some risks with long-term investing that don’t exist with trading.

For example, you don’t have to worry about getting overly attached to a stock because you’ve held it for a long time or because you believe in the news story surrounding it.

Intermediate-term traders typically own stocks for a few weeks or longer. They’re waiting for a story to play out, such as an earnings report, a drug approval or a completed chart pattern.

They’ll usually set stops that give the position some room to move. That way, they won’t get shaken out by market noise, but they also won’t suffer too large of a loss if the trade goes against them.

Shorter-term traders will hold a stock for a few days or less. They’re usually exploiting strong moves in the market or in the stock itself.

They’ll typically take smaller (but perhaps more frequent) losses in exchange for more frequent trading opportunities and wins.

When deciding what type of trading style is best for you, ask yourself the following questions…

How much time do I want to commit?

Shorter-term trading – particularly day trading, when you’re in and out of your positions within the same day – usually requires you to stay in front of your computer (or at least on your phone) during the trading day so you can make moves all day long.

Traders who expect to be in trades for a few weeks don’t have to spend as much time tied to their computers.

What’s my tolerance for risk?

Traders who stay in positions for several weeks usually give their positions a wider berth. That way, normal volatility does not force them to sell too soon.

This also means they have to be able to tolerate some moves to the downside.

Shorter-term traders take smaller losses, but they need to be able to pull the trigger and take those losses quickly.

What strategy makes the most sense for me?

Do you like to trade based on earnings reports, volatility, charts, valuation, or news events such as drug approvals? Certain catalysts will lend themselves to shorter- or longer-term trading styles.

If you like to trade the markets based on volatility, your trades will likely be short-term. If you love trading stocks based on upcoming catalysts, your trades will have a longer duration.

If you’re new to trading, start off by asking yourself which style appeals most to you.

If you’re an experienced trader and you’re not achieving the results you want, these questions may help shed some light on whether you’re trading in a way that best suits your personality.

YOUR ACTION PLAN

I’ve just uncovered what could be the most predictable trade on Wall Street – a strategy that marries the thrill of quick profits with the safety of protected income plays.

During our exhaustive testing, this approach showed something remarkable: In 2024’s historic bull market, it achieved an 86% win rate, transforming a modest $9,000 stake into $34,000 – a 274% total return.

But here’s the shocking part… it beat the S&P 500 by 9X during one of the strongest bull markets in history. Imagine what it could do in a down market…

This Wednesday, May 14, I’m sharing all the details.

Good investing,

FUN FACT FRIDAY

Trade tensions often create short-term market volatility but can lead to surprising rebounds. During President Trump’s first term, despite implementing tariffs on approximately $360 billion of Chinese goods, the S&P 500 ultimately gained over 67% across his presidency.

Similarly, following the initial shock of President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcements in April 2025, markets have shown remarkable resilience – having already recouped those losses as traders anticipate workable trade deals.

This pattern of “sell the tariff announcement, buy the negotiation” has become a recognizable market dynamic, with experienced investors often viewing trade-related dips as potential buying opportunities rather than reasons for panic.
