The Power Gauge

A Q&A with Marc Chaikin about his life’s work

Wall Street legend Marc’s system now appears on every single Bloomberg and Reuters terminal in the world, and is used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and every major brokerage site.

Now, he’s sitting down to answer questions and reveal some secrets behind his remarkable, one-of-a-kind system:

Q: Marc, what’s the single most important thing we have to understand about your Power Gauge system, to really understand how it all works?

Well, if you want to make serious money in the market, there’s one thing you need to understand. Nothing makes a stock go UP or DOWN faster than the actions of institutional investors.

When a bank starts pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a stock, it can shoot up overnight and go on to rise hundreds or even thousands of percent… all because of the sheer quantity of institutional money flowing in.

Q: So, how do these banks decide what to buy?

From my experience on Wall Street, working at places like investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert, I know they look primarily at ONE thing: the STOCK RATING.

I also know what goes into creating that stock rating: earnings… news announcements… industry developments… and many different, disparate pieces of info.

And do you know how I know that?

I created the indicator they use to help determine stock ratings.

Q: So, you helped create the very thing that helps decide when to buy, sell, and hold their stocks? The very indicator that appears on every Bloomberg terminal around the world… was named for you?

That’s right. Some might say that’s an UNFAIR advantage… knowing what Wall Street is interested in BEFORE the biggest moves are made.

Like back in August 2019… when Seres Therapeutics stock was sitting at just $3… and my system sent out a bullish alert: a signal to BUY.

Then it indicated we should HOLD for months as the stock went absolutely vertical…

Until a bearish SELL signal alerted us to the chance for 1,086% gains

Seres Therapeutics

I didn’t know back in April of that year that biotech would see the biggest moves in decades… but my system sensed it.

Q: But how – and with such accuracy – can your system sense these moves to BUY, HOLD, and SELL… across 4,000 different stocks?

For half a century, I helped work out a way for investors at all the major hedge funds to make their decisions… by computing a stock’s rating over the next three to six months. My system works by taking that indicator I helped build for Wall Street… and combining it with 20 factors – 20 key market data points – that are studied by some of the most successful investors I worked with in my career.

I’m talking about the data legendary hedge funds – like those run by Steve Cohen, Paul Tudor Jones, and George Soros – look at to determine if a stock is “bearish,” “bullish,” or “neutral.”

And while it would be impossible for my system to spot every single winner across the 4,000 stocks it covers… it can still find those little-known stocks that aren’t making headlines – yet.

Like Danaos Corporation (DAC)… when a bullish rating from my system would have issued a buy warning for this unknown containership company back in October of 2020…

Before the stock shot from around $9… to $95. That would have been a 10x winner… enough to turn $10,000 into $113,600.

Seres Therapeutics

My system would have gotten you into BlueLinx Holdings (BXC)… a building company that has soared 530% since July 31st, 2020.

Seres Therapeutics

Even during the latest drawback in the markets… my system signaled to buy Oasis Petroleum (OAS) back in November of 2021.

And while the S&P 500 is DOWN double-digits since then… this stock has RISEN double-digits.

Seres Therapeutics

What’s perhaps even more important now to preserving your wealth is knowing which stocks to get OUT of... which ones are going down.

Q: But getting in is only half the battle. With today’s highly volatile up- and downticks… those alerts to sell are more important than ever. What can your system do for people on that front, Marc?

Well, my system is universal. It not only senses the perfect stock conditions Wall Street likes to buy… it can also detect what Wall Street doesn’t like… and it alerts you to get OUT before the worst losses are seen.

Take Avis Budget Group (CAR). My system issued a bullish alert for Avis back in February of 2021… and followed it with a bearish alert in February of 2022, almost to the year, for 322% gains.

Seres Therapeutics

And the same goes for American Medical Holdings (AMEH). My system issued a bullish indicator in May of 2020… and a bearish one in October of 2021… which would have helped you lock-in a 165% gain before the stock tumbled 50%... losing half its value.

Seres Therapeutics

It may seem random… but it’s not. These bullish and bearish ratings stretch across industries, to find what’s performing… and what isn’t.

Q: How complex is it to understand your system, Marc? How can people, who have ZERO Wall Street experience, use your system to find the winners and losers, even in markets riddled with high fear?

Let me be clear. Anyone can use the system I’ve designed, as long as you know three things: “Bullish” is a sign to BUY, “Neutral” is a sign to HOLD, and “Bearish” is a sign to SELL.

Q: That’s simple enough, but how does your system know what’s a BUY, SELL, and HOLD?

My system looks at every facet of a company’s probability to increase its stock price… by taking 20 different pieces of data to tell one complete story.

It looks at financial health… at revenue earnings history and growth outlook. We look at volumes of trades… even to what other insiders think of the stock.

These, along with 20 different data points, are broken down and summed up into one action… that tells you exactly what to do in any environment.

Q: And, until May 26th, the day of the event, you’re giving away a “lite” version of your system for people to test run, right, Marc?

Yes, that’s right. I’ve posted a link below that will give you access for a short time. Just type in any of the 4,000 stocks this system covers and get an answer on exactly what you need to do.

It’s the secret to getting out of a stock before it can bring you, and everything you’ve built – down.

Which is why my announcement on May 26th is so critical... and why you simply can’t afford to miss it. A market event will dominate the next 90 days… and it needs particularly special attention and treatment, or it could have dire consequences.

For the first time anywhere, I’m laying out exactly what’s going to happen… and what you need.
