Hey Traders,
I’ve been talking to you a lot lately about the broad market — and how it’s been getting more and more bearish by the day.
And yeah, if you want, you can go out and throw on a bear call spread on the SPY, DIA, or QQQ. Nothing wrong with that.
But me personally? I like finding individual stocks that are even weaker than the indexes.
I’m talking about stocks that have been sinking for months — already showing weakness before the broad market even started cracking.
Stocks that have already shown their true colors. Stocks that — now that the broad market is bearish too — have the highest probability of continuing to sink lower and lower.
That’s the trick right now:
- Don’t just pick anything.
- Pick the ones that are already broken.
Because yeah, you can make money when stocks fall just as easily as you make it when they go up!
It’s all in how you structure the trade.
That’s why this whole market crash phase doesn’t bother me one bit.
While most people are sitting around glued to CNBC and biting their nails, I’m just calmly setting up trades — stacking the odds in my favor — and letting the setups work.
Earlier this week, I shared three bearish stocks with my readers:
- TXN
- KBH
- EDV
Just look at those charts and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
As I explained a couple days ago — once a chart flips into a “bearish alignment” on the trend lines, it triggers one of the highest probability setups you can find.
It’s not random. It’s not a guess. It’s a real, measurable shift in the behavior of the stock.
And when you line that up with the direction of the broad market — which, let’s be honest, is about as bullish right now as a sinking ship — you’re stacking odds on top of each other.
That’s smart trading.
That’s how you survive — and even thrive — during these market phases that scare everyone else.
Remember, markets are closed tomorrow for Good Friday.
But we’ll be back at it first thing Monday morning.
Enjoy your Easter weekend — and get ready to attack next week with a clear head.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
