Can you predict the future?
80% of investors think they can…The other 20% make money
OK, enough about global trends, already. It’s time to learn how to make serious money in the markets no matter what kind of world strife and instability the future holds.
And there’s no better way to approach an uncertain market than to use options strategies in your portfolio.
Karim Rahemtulla, Chairman of the Mt. Vernon Options Club, started off the day by setting the record straight about how to wisely use options strategies:
“We’ve all heard the odds – 80% of people who place options trades lose. But for every option buyer who loses money…there’s one who makes money. We’re here to take you from the 80% side to the 20% side.”
If you PLAY this market…you’ll lose. If you learn the strategies to INVEST using options, you’ll win. And today, we got the scoop on the most effective, lowest-risk strategies that have been proven to work by the experts who took to the podium.
Proven Ways To Win With Options
Short Selling… LEAPS… Straddles… Strangles… Deep-in-the-Money… Delta…Futures…
Quantitative Analysis… Covered Calls…And More…
A lot of investment terms are flying around the room today. First, we heard the results – what kinds of profits are possible when you employ each of these strategies?
Second, we got a step-by-step explanation that tells you how to put each strategy to work in your own portfolio. It’s a powerful combination of information.
After all, who wouldn’t like these kinds of numbers?
- Steve McDonald celebrated today’s launch of a new service, Penny Option Profit System, that he’s been testing for the last 8 months with the following results: 25.41% per play, 50.86% per straddle, 3150% total return, Average holding time 7 days
- Louis Basenese recently pulled a 1,223% gainer on an option in his Takeover Trader service…and he’s batting .300 on winning trades in his current portfolio…
- Jeff Clark made 100% shorting a gold stock, even while the gold bugs are yelling “bull market” in precious metals. And another 214% shorting the mortgage industry as the housing bubble loses air…
Anatomy Of A Good Trade
To get these kinds of results, you’ll need to know a few things: what to look for, when to buy, what delta to target, how to pick the right time to enter the trade, how to have the discipline to pull your profits out before they turn to a loss…
It’s a good thing we’re recording the workshop sessions, too. That’s where you really hear the nuts and bolts of how to put these strategies to work. A couple highlights:
Follow the sector trend… Dean Albrecht shows how individual stocks will often follow the same pattern as the overall sector…and how you can place winning trades by being able to follow the pattern.
Delta at 90% or better… Lee Lowell shows where to find the delta in an option trade, and why having a delta of 90% or above is critical to your success in using the deep-in-the-money strategy.
Cover that call… Karim Rahemtulla warns not to use naked or straight options in your retirement account…unless you’re trying to wipe it out. Instead, use a deep-in-the-money covered call strategy.
If I were to run all the numbers here for you, you’d be likely to shut this email down! So I won’t. But I will tell you that if you secure your own set of the CD or DVD recordings, you’ll be thankful for the rewind button so you can be sure to get it all down.
The Antidote For Information Overload
Our last speaker before lunch, Louis Basenese, confessed what probably every one of us was feeling by the end of the morning, when he stood in front of us and announced:
I’m afraid.
No, Lou’s not afraid of the markets, and he’s not afraid of the audience either.
He’s afraid of what we’ll do on Monday morning when we get home. Perhaps with good cause.
How can you not attend a conference like this – or listen to it at home on CD or DVD – and not get either overexcited – or overwhelmed? Then, one of two things happen…
You get completely paralyzed – with way too much running through your head – and you can’t act on any of the great ideas you’ve heard.
Or you get ahead of yourself, and you start putting bits and pieces of all these strategies together without taking the time to really learn it properly and formulate a reasonable plan for putting it into action.
“Stick to what you know,” advised Lou.
There’s enough information here for every single type of investor to add to his or her toolkit. The number-crunching types will love Dean Albrecht’s approach. The highly-caffeinated trader types will appreciate Jeff Clark’s lack of patience for turning a profit. And the risk-averse will want to take Karim Rahemtulla home with them (I don’t think he’s going – he’s got way too many upcoming trips planned – like India in the fall! Watch for details…).
Listen to everything. But only put into action the things that work for your investment nature and style. That’s probably the best risk management tip we’ve heard all day.
Into The Sunset We Go…
Tonight is the Sunset Cruise for Chairman Circle Members (and if I get there soon, maybe they’ll let a roving reporter sneak aboard…it’s worth a shot!)
Remember, conference pricing on the recordings is still in effect. Place your order now and pay only $149. There were at least ten recommendations dropped in the main presentations this morning, and I’m sure more are being revealed in the workshop sessions even as I write this report up.
Of course, the goal for Investment University is to teach you to fish, as the old adage goes. But it’s nice when we get one caught, scaled, filleted and cooked to order every now and then, isn’t it?
Make sure you tune in tomorrow for my final report…not only will we wrap up the conference, but if the video crew and I can manage it, we’ll also have a little snippet of the video recording available for you to watch, too.
Isn’t modern technology amazing?
Until Then,
