What Karim Rahemtulla is working on right now:
One simple move could have changed your life forever…
But when Apple traded around $21 ten years ago, you probably figured it had nowhere to go. Everyone just knew Microsoft had a lock on the industry.
Then came the iPod… the iPhone… the MacBook…
Today, Apple shares are up roughly 1,000%.
And unless you were one of the lucky few who got in at the exact right time, it’s enough to make you sick to your stomach.
That sort of thing used to happen to me all the time. But not anymore… Find out how…
More from Karim Rahemtulla
What was the first dollar you ever earned?
I was 7 years old, and it was a shilling, not a dollar. I earned it looking stocking shelves at the 8 O’Clock Store in London. It was so named because it closed at 8pm. I made enough money to satisfy my craving for English chocolate.
What’s been the most satisfying dollar (or dollars) you’ve ever earned?
By far that has to come from trading. I recall one options play in particular before IBM reported earnings some years ago. I think I made something like 320% in one trading session. And, I risked quite a bit of money. In fact, my broker at the time – a large discount house even called me to congratulate me.
What’s your favorite way to make money?
Selling deep in the money covered calls and buying LEAP options with the proceeds of the options I sold. It’s almost like a free ride thanks to the market.
What’s the best investing advice you’ve given or ever heard?
There are quite a few that have stuck with me over time. They really are common sense, but you’d be surprised how often people forget. Never a borrower or lender be. Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered. Don’t get high on your own supply in other words, never think you know more than the market.
