Transcript<\/h2>\n

Hi folks, this is Jeff Clark, hopping in from home. This message is too urgent for me to get to a studio or even bring in a proper camera crew. I need to get this to you right now.<\/p>\n

Recently, I launched something I’d never done before. I invited a select group of people to join my 12 Trades to $1 Million Challenge.<\/p>\n

It’s an audacious promise, but one I believe in completely based on what I’m seeing in the market right now.<\/p>\n

The idea is straightforward. We start with a $5,000 stake. We place it in a well-timed options trade, wait for it to close, then roll the gains into the next trade and keep repeating the process.<\/p>\n

If we can double our money or better on each move, $5,000 becomes $1 million in 12 trades or less. That’s the math.<\/p>\n

Normally, I’m much too risk-averse to recommend this kind of approach. But market conditions right now are unlike anything I’ve seen in more than 40 years as a professional trader. I felt there was a genuine urgency here – that this wasn’t just possible, but that it was happening.<\/p>\n

Last week, after we closed enrollment for the challenge, we entered our first trade.<\/p>\n

I knew we weren’t going to hit exactly 100% on every trade. Some trades would do more, some would do less. The markets are never perfectly predictable. But I know my strategy is designed to deal with that kind of volatility.<\/p>\n

Our first trade was Peabody Energy Corp. In an ideal world, I was hoping to double our money. Frankly, I would have been happy with a 50% gain because that still fits perfectly within the strategy.<\/p>\n

Here’s what happened instead.<\/p>\n

By the time we closed the position on Thursday – just one week after entering – we didn’t make 50%, and we didn’t make 100%.<\/p>\n

We closed the first trade of our Twelve Trades Challenge with a gain of 165%.<\/p>\n

That’s enough to turn a $5,000 starting stake into more than $13,000. It’s the kind of gain most investors would consider themselves fortunate to make in an entire year.<\/p>\n

We did it in one week, and we’re just getting started.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, I’m pretty excited about it, and so are many of the people already participating in the challenge.<\/p>\n

One participant wrote:<\/p>\n

“I was able to close the first trade of the challenge for over 140% profit in just over a week.”<\/p>\n

Another reader wrote:<\/p>\n

“Thanks, Jeff. What a great first trade on the challenge.”<\/p>\n

Then there was John C., who wrote:<\/p>\n

“Jeff, I joined your Twelve Trades to a Million Challenge last week. I bought $5,000 of your first recommendation for BTU calls and just sold for $15,000. What an incredible one-week return. I can’t wait for our next trade.”<\/p>\n

And John F. wrote:<\/p>\n

“This BTU trade was amazing. You are truly a genius. The thorough analysis you did here is top-notch. Thanks so much.”<\/p>\n

Folks, if I’m here at 7:00 a.m. recording this video, it’s because we’re off to an extraordinary start, and we’re only at the beginning.<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m lining up the next trade, which I plan to send to challenge participants very soon. Frankly, it would be a shame if you missed this one.<\/p>\n

When we launched the challenge, enrollment closed. The window shut, and normally that would be it.<\/p>\n

But I asked my editors to make an exception because I know there are people who wanted in and missed the window. Maybe they wanted to see how things started. Maybe they just needed more time to think about it.<\/p>\n

Either way, I don’t want you to miss the next trade.<\/p>\n

That’s why my editors agreed to reopen access to the challenge – but only for three days. You need to act quickly.<\/p>\n

Right now, you have until Wednesday, June 3rd, to join my 12 Trades to $1 Million Challenge.<\/a><\/p>\n

There won’t be any exceptions this time. 72 hours. That’s it.<\/p>\n

Now, I want to address something directly.<\/p>\n

Yes, you missed Trade No. 1. It generated a 165% gain. Participants who started with $5,000 could now be sitting on more than $13,000.<\/p>\n

But here’s the thing: you’re not behind.<\/p>\n

This challenge was built on a rolling sequence. Each trade is a fresh start from wherever your stake begins.<\/p>\n

You can enter the next trade with your own $5,000 and still work toward the same destination, with plenty of trades still ahead.<\/p>\n

So what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n

The door is open until Wednesday, June 3rd, at midnight.<\/p>\n

The next trade is coming, and I’d hate for you to miss this one too. Join now before it’s too late.<\/p>\n

I can’t wait for the next trade. Let’s do this.<\/a><\/p>\n

Best regards and good trading,<\/p>\n
