Dear The 10th Man Reader, A couple of weeks back, I called a top in the stock market. This is actually a big deal because I have always decried the model of financial writing that lures in clicks and hits and subscriptions by calling the end of the world. 98% of the time, I’m the guy who says everything’s going to be fine. This is the other 2%. Here’s why it matters to you. Things are going to get weird | If you’re an individual investor competing against robots, hedge funds, and pros, then without proper preparation, your portfolio will be in trouble. It will take a severe beating on the way down. You need help! If you define a generational bear market as one where losses exceed 40%, there have only been five in US stock market history—and I’ve traded through two of them. This isn’t my first rodeo. And I’ve been storm-proofing the Street Freak portfolio for some time now. So, why don’t you roll up your sleeves and join me, with a Street Freak subscription for less than $17 a month? As the second-longest bull market in history labors on, joining Street Freak is one of the more shrewd decisions you could make. But do it now—before the correction comes. There’s no point installing a fire alarm after everything has burned down. I should also mention that this offer is only available through August 3, at midnight. One final remark. This will probably be the fastest downturn in history due to the amount of leverage and speculation. Expect chaos. Expect the unprepared to perform poorly. Something to think about when you see headlines like “Bull market has ‘years left’ to run” (CNBC, May 26, 2017). Regards, Jared Dillian Editor, The 10th Man
