The Stark Report
Get new trading ideas every morning from a tested methodology. Rather than starting with thousands of stocks each morning, why not start your quest for profits with only the best? Thanks to years of studying, trading and writing about the market, I have developed my own custom scan that looks for certain characteristics- the characteristics of stocks that are poised to move and move sharply. I went back and studied historic short-term moves in a number of stocks, looking for traits that the stocks had in common before they started their big moves. Once I had the data I was looking for, I developed a custom scan that looks for stocks displaying these same traits. But I wasn’t done yet. Once I started running my scan each night, I saved all the signals that it generated. Once I had this information, I looked at which stocks performed the best after appearing on the list. Each night I run my scans looking for the best short-term bullish and bearish opportunities in the market. And these opportunities are in big name, actively traded stocks. Why? Because I like to use options in my trading and only the most actively traded stocks see enough trading in the options pits to warrant your attention. Armed with past results and a quantified method of finding stocks that are poised to move, I launched the Stark Report. The Stark Report is a daily email sent to subscribers at 6:30 AM Eastern Time each day that the market is open. This gives investors time to look over the information and make their decisions before the market opens. The format for the newsletter is the same everyday with a few paragraphs about what happened the day before and any events to keep your eye on. Then we look at my own Stark Market Barometer, this is an indicator for the overall market that I developed from my observations from the overall scan results each night. The Stark Market Barometer is easy to use- when the reading is over 75, it is considered bullish for the overall market. When it is lower than -75, it is considered bearish for the overall market. Here is a snapshot of the barometer that is exactly as it appears in the newsletter each morning: After looking at the barometer, there is a paragraph that points out which sectors stood out on the scans the night before- bullish and bearish. This paragraph will allow you to look for sector trades or allow you to lower your exposure should you be heavily invested in one particular sector. You benefit in three ways, but you pay one low subscription price. For $199 per year, you get a daily email that lets you know what to look for in the market that day and how to play it and you get a bullish and bearish list you know comes from a tested method. I am certain that you will be satisfied with your subscription to the Stark Report. I am so certain that I offer a full refund for 30 days. If you sign up to receive the Stark Report, I will send you the daily email for 30 days at no risk to you. You could make enough in these 30 days to pay for the subscription 100 times over and turn around and get your money back. But would you really want to do that?

The final part of the Stark Report is the “best bets” section. In this section I highlight the stocks that appeared on the list that are among the best performing stocks based on the previous appearances on the scans. To make this list, the stock had to go in the right direction at least two-thirds of the time. By doing this, you are placing probability in your corner.
Each day you are getting an overall market gauge, a sector breakdown and you are getting a list of the best bullish and bearish opportunities in the market. What is that worth to you? A subscription to the Stark Report is $149 per year. I have managed other newsletters that charge as much as $3,000 a year, and I could probably do that with the Stark Report if I wanted to give specific entry and exit instructions.
But that is not what the Stark Report is about. The Stark Report is an idea generator. It points out the best opportunities and on which side of the market you want to be on. Subscribers get to make their own decisions on how to use the information. You can use the Stark Report to benefit in three different ways:
