Dear Reader,

Thanks to some crazy volatility in the stock markets, there’s a very rare opportunity to put thousands of dollars in your pocket instantly – without buying a single stock.

It’s the closest thing to ‘free money’ you’ll ever see in the stock market, or anywhere else.

When you discover how simple this strategy is, you’ll wonder why everyone isn’t using it. The fact is, lots of people are…especially these days.

The man often called the world’s greatest investor is one high profile investor using this strategy now.

I’ve been testing it in recent months as well, scooping up free money with every trade, and paying out nothing...

Since I introduced this strategy to a small group of folks a month ago, they’ve had an opportunity to pocket $2,450 (or more) so far – without spending a dime.

The money just “shows up” in their accounts, mere seconds after they execute the trade.

I know this concept might be hard to swallow when you first hear it.

But I promise you: this strategy is real, it’s legal, and it works.

And there’s never been a better time to use it.

I’ll explain the strategy in its entirety to you in a moment – and tell you about a way to start putting cold, hard cash directly into your account by the next trading session.

But first, I want you to picture this scenario:

You’re in the market for a new house.

After weeks of searching, you finally find it: your dream home. It’s the perfect size, sits up on a hill on six acres with a stream running through it, and in the nicest part of town too.

Problem is, it’s $450,000. And even though the price has already fallen substantially, it’s $100,000 higher than the $350,000 you want to pay.

What do you do? You know real estate is volatile. Do you wait and hope the price comes down even more? Or do you bite the bullet and pay more than you really wanted to pay?

But then your real estate broker calls you.

“I’ve got some good news,” he tells you.

“Did the buyers drop the price?” you ask.

“Nope, but I’m willing to pay you $10,000 today – yours to keep no matter what – on one condition: you promise me you’ll buy that house at $350,000 if the price gets there in the next three months.”

“And if it doesn’t?” you ask, looking for a catch.

“No problem. You keep the cash and we’re square,” your broker tells you.

What would you do? You know the house is a great deal at $350,000 – and that’s the price you wanted to pay anyway…and now someone’s offering you $10,000 to wait for the chance to buy it at that price...

Would you take it?

Don’t worry. It’s not a trick question. Of course you would...

Ten grand in your pocket that’s yours to keep, even if the price never falls to $350,000. And if it does, you get the house for less than your ideal price: $350,000 minus the $10,000 you already got paid!

It’s a sweet deal.

Unfortunately, it’s one you’ll never see in the real estate market...

But this is precisely how the strategy I’m writing you about today works in the stock market – it pays you hard cash NOW while you wait for virtually any stock you want to own to fall to the price you are comfortable owning it.

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about.

$1,350 to Buy Microsoft Way Cheaper
Than it’s Trading Today

Maybe you’ve always wanted to own Microsoft. As I write you today (December 18th, 2008) it’s trading around $19.50, very close to 10-year lows. You know it’s a solid “franchise” stock, and at this price, you think it’s a good deal.

But you want it even cheaper. You want to pay $15 a share, and no more.

You have two choices:

You can put in a $15 limit buy order and hope the stock price falls another $4...

Or, you can use this incredible little strategy and let the market pay you right now while you wait for the stock to fall to your $15 price.

How much will the market pay you?

Right now the market will pay you roughly $1.35 per share to wait for Microsoft shares to fall to $15 over the next seven months. So if you’re in the market for, say, 1,000 shares of Microsoft – $1,350 in cash would be deposited into your brokerage account the instant you execute the trade.

Then one of two things will happen:

1. Microsoft drops below $15 within your seven-month “contract” period and you buy it at that price. (But your actual price is $13.65 per share because of the $1.35 you already got), or…


2. Microsoft doesn’t fall to your $15 price within the six months – and you keep the $1,350, no strings attached.

Get Paid $500 Instantly

Right now, for instance, there’s a terrific gold stock out there that’s been beaten down mercilessly by this crazy market. For most of this year it was trading around $16 – then the sell off began and it tumbled to just over $6, where it trades today.

But the fundamentals of the company didn’t change. It was just a case of institutional investors cashing out of the market and throwing out the “baby with the bathwater” as the expression goes.

And what better safety play than gold in this market? With government printing presses working overtime – and trillions in global bailout money flooding the global economy – a lot of experts think gold could reach $2,500 over the course of the year.

So $5,000 for 1,000 shares of this company is a very good price.

But we want it even cheaper. And right now the market is willing to pay us a quick $500 to wait for this stock’s price to fall to $2.50 a share over the next year – half the price it’s trading at today!

If it doesn’t fall that far, we simply keep the $500.

If it does, we’re happy to own 1,000 shares for a total investment of $2,500. But our actual investment is only $2,000 because the market already paid us $500. That’s $2 a share!

And remember, the fundamentals of this company haven’t changed. In fact, the prospect for higher gold prices is a very real possibility. And as gold rises, it’s likely this stock will rise with it. Even if the stock only gets back to the $16 levels it was trading at earlier this year – we could be looking at a nice 788% win…or a $14,200 gain on a $1,800 trade.

This is precisely how our readers could have recently scooped up $1,000 cash on Disney. A few weeks back, Disney Corporation was trading roughly where it’s trading today – around $20. But the market was willing to pay up $1,000 cash up front for our promise to buy 1,000 shares of Disney if it ever dropped to $12.50 – a price it hasn’t traded at since January 1992!

Of course they grabbed the opportunity. And if Disney drops below $12.50 between now and this coming April, they’re happy to own the stock at that price. But if it doesn’t, they’ll keep the $1,000 they’ve been paid regardless.

Are you beginning to see why we love this strategy – especially now, with so many stocks at or near all time lows?

In fact, I’m now looking at a long list of “franchise” stocks that are trading at woefully low prices –stocks where the market is willing to pay us thousands to wait for the price to fall further.

How Does it Work?

But before I tell you more about those, you’re probably wondering how this strategy works and who’s willing to pay you to wait for stocks to fall.

It’s a very simple technique professional traders – me among them – have been using for decades.

What they’re doing with this strategy is simply selling put options to other investors on stocks we would be happy to own, but at a much lower price.

Now I know that may sound risky or complicated, but it’s not. And any questions you might have will be answered either by the end of this letter, or in my just completed “Profitable Put Selling Made Easy” guide book I’d love to send to you absolutely free.

But for now, let me explain this very simple concept – and how it can instantly put money in your account the very first day you use it.

Remember, We’re Sellers – Not Buyers

Most investors think in terms of “buying” options.

When you buy a put option, you pay the market for the right to sell a stock at a certain price within a certain period of time. And because of the premiums and time erosion famously associated with options, up to 90% of those who are on the “buying side” of options wind up losing money.

But as put sellers we’re not buying.

We’re selling.

And when you sell a put – like we recommend using our “Instant Money” strategy – you get paid instantly, up front – in exchange for your obligation to buy a stock at whatever price you’ve chosen. And because you’re selling the option to someone else, all the things that work against option buyers, works in favor of you.

It’s a little like being the house in a casino: the odds are stacked clearly in our favor!

Now here’s the thing.

The average investor doesn’t think in terms of selling puts. Many I talk to don’t even know it’s possible. But the pros do it all the time because it gives them an incredible advantage. They do it to not only bolster their cash but also buy stocks they ultimately want in their portfolios at prices they choose.

Earlier I mentioned the world’s greatest investor —Warren Buffett. According to recent SEC filings, he’s been selling puts on Burlington Northern – a company he’s happy to own right now at $80 a share. The deal placed a reported $9.1 million directly in his account…and he gets a chance to own a stock he wants at a much cheaper price.

That’s the “Instant Money” mantra too: We only consider companies we’d want to own at prices that are extraordinary bargains.

Take our little gold play.

That’s a company we’d be happy to own at $5. But we absolutely adore it at $2.50. Why? Because we think this company has the potential to be trading at $16 over the next six to 12 months.

Right now, January 2010 $2.50 put options on this stock are trading for about 65 cents. If you’re an option “buyer” that’s how much you’d pay for the right to sell this stock at $2.50 between now and April. And if the stock doesn’t fall below $2.50 in that time, you’d lose every dime of your money.

But remember, you’re not a buyer if you use this strategy. You’re a seller, which means the market will pay you $500 up front in exchange for your promise to buy 1,000 shares at $2.50 if it drops to that price between now and January 2010.

If it does, you’d automatically take possession of 1,000 shares at total investment of $2,500. But as I mentioned earlier, your real cost is just $2,000, because you’d still get to keep the $500 the market already paid you.

And what if the stock never gets to $2.50? The option expires worthless and you simply keep your $500!

That’s the great thing about the Instant Money Trader. It lets you “name your price” when it comes to virtually any stock you choose.

Sometimes that price is ridiculously low.

Remember my friend Ken I told you about?

“Money for Nothing”

A few weeks ago, he sold October 2008 $10 puts on Goldman Sachs – which obligated him to buy Goldman Sachs’ stock for $10 a share if it fell below that price.

But here’s the thing. At the time he made the trade, Goldman Sachs was no where near $10 a share. Earlier this year it was a $240 stock. Warren Buffett recently invested $5 billion in Goldman at around $115 a share.

What were the chances Goldman Sachs would fall to $10 within a few weeks? The company would have to virtually go bankrupt…something Mr. Buffett’s investment pretty much assured would not happen.

That’s why my friend sold the $10 puts and got $250 cash.

“Money for nothing”, he called it.

This on top of the more than $8,000 cash he pocketed for selling October 2008 $2.50, $5 and $7.50 Morgan Stanley puts (cash that’s now his free and clear, since Morgan Stanley was trading near $20 when those options expired just the other day.)

Are you seeing the enormous moneymaking potential here?

You win two ways:

1. When the options expire worthless and you keep the cash you were paid…or


2. When you get to own the stock you’re happy to own anyway, at a price that’s 20%, 30% or even 60% lower.

My “Go to” Strategy for 17 Years

The Perfect “One-Two Punch”

The first one is volatility.

Right now the VIX (Volatility Index Indicator) is at record high levels. Why is volatility a good thing for put-sellers like us? Because volatility drives option prices higher. And as sellers, we get paid more while we wait for stocks to fall.

The other reason is the pervasive fear gripping the market these days. Now normally that’s a bad thing for investors. But for us it’s great news. It means terrific stocks – profitable companies with brand name products – have been driven down 20%, 30%, even 50% in price in the last few months alone.

Of course some companies – those drowning in debt or those whose survival depends on a vibrant economy – are in serious trouble. And it’s true that some may not survive.

But historically when fear selling dominates the market like it has the past few months, great companies with no debt, tons of cash, solid profits and great products get beaten down too. However, as we saw after the dot.com crash and following 9/11, those companies are always the ones to roar back the fastest when some level of sanity returns to the market.

Investment legend John Templeton used to echo what every smart investor knows: the best buying opportunities exist at what he termed “the maximum point of pessimism.”

Are we there yet? Maybe not…but we’re close.

And that’s the great thing about selling put options.

It lets you pick the price you want to pay for solid, but irrationally beaten down stocks – and pays you cold hard cash while you wait for them to get to your price!

How bad would it be to own a franchise name like American Express at $15 – nearly $50 off recent highs and 30% cheaper than it’s trading today?

As I write you today, for instance, the market’s willing to pay you $2,100 to wait for American Express to fall 30% to that price between now and this April. If it does, you’ll own the stock at a price it last traded in 1996.

If it doesn’t – you keep the $2,100!

How terrible would it be to own Apple at $65 – 25% off the price it’s at today…and more than a third the price it was trading earlier this year.

Right now, the market’s willing to pay you $3,800 to see if Apple stock can drop that low between now and April. If it does, you own a great stock at a super cheap price. If it doesn’t – you keep the $3,800.

Heck, you could even get paid $4.80 a share to own Burlington Northern at $50 – $25 cheaper than it’s trading today!

I think you’re getting the idea here...

But as good as these opportunities are, they’re not the very best situations in the market place right now.

Why? Because these are widely traded stocks – and the option prices don’t necessarily reflect that all-important high side “inefficiency” that’s pervasive in the market these days.

Over $9,600 – waiting to be collected now

I’m talking about companies selling near 10-year lows, with potentially much less downside than even Apple or American Express – yet the market is willing to pay you much more to wait for stock prices to fall...

Here are some of the opportunities we’re watching right now:

(Please be aware the numbers mentioned in the following opportunities were accurate as of October 21st, 2008 – the day I sat down to write you. Today’s volatility makes this a fast and ever changing market, which means any one of these plays could be replaced by a much better one tomorrow. Regardless, when a great opportunity to put cold hard cash directly in your account comes up you’ll hear about it immediately).

Instant Money Opportunity #1

Money in Your Pocket Now: $1,150

Right now the market will pay you $1,150 for your obligation to buy 1,000 shares of this brand name, consistently profitable mid-priced clothing retailer’s stock at $10 a share between now and June 2009 – a price it hasn’t traded at since early 1997.


Instant Money Opportunity #2

Money in Your Pocket Now: $2,400

The lowest price this well-known retailer has traded over the past 5 years was $42 a share. Another of those companies built to prosper in an economic down turn; this company is as profitable as it’s ever been. Yet the market is willing to pay you $2,400 for your promise to buy it if it drops to $35 a share between now and the end of next year. That’s a price $20 a share cheaper than it trades today!


Instant Money Opportunity #3

Money in Your Pocket Now: $1,200

This rock-solid energy ETF has been beaten down mercilessly of late – from over $60 in the summer to just over $23 today. With energy prices leveling off, we think this stock’s darkest days are over – yet the market’s willing to pay you a quick $1,200 on the off chance it falls another 20% to $19 a share – a price it’s never traded at in it’s history.


Instant Money Opportunity #4

Money in Your Pocket Now: $1,100

This computer maker tumbled a whopping 80% off last year’s highs, yet the market’s willing to pay you $1,100 to watch it fall another 20% between now and May. Everything tells me it’s not likely to happen: Earnings are strong and they’re expected to grow over 8% this year. And if you do wind up owning it at our low target price, look for a quick doubling of your money within a year.


Instant Money Opportunity #5

Money in Your Pocket Now: $900

It’s been 12 years since this technology giant traded at today’s price, off 80% from recent highs. Yet the market’s ready to pay us a quick $900 to wait for this long profitable company to fall yet another 20% between now and April. We don’t think it’ll happen. But if it does, this is one “franchise” name we’d be happy to own (at just over $8 a share when you factor in our “instant cash”) – because a rebound to even half of recent highs would net us a tidy 300% return!


Instant Money Opportunity #6

Money in Your Pocket Now: $2,600

But maybe the very best opportunity we see right now is this well-known international conglomerate that’s been cut in half in the recent sell off – from over $40 a share to around $16. Right now the market is willing to pay you a quick $2,600 for the promise to buy it 25% cheaper. This is another great “free money” opportunity. But if by chance you end up owning it at less than $12.50, you should be happy to collect a solid 8% dividend and wait for the stock to potentially double our money once the market gains its footing.

In all that’s over $9,300 the market’s willing to pay you to watch the stocks of some of the very best companies in the world fall another 20% to 30% – after falling as much as 50% already! ($9,800 if you throw in the gold play I told you about earlier...)

Again these are companies with great products, franchise names, strong earnings, sound management and business fundamentals that haven’t changed in a substantial way since the market began its free-fall just a few months ago. We’re just waiting for the stock prices and the option prices to line up perfectly…and when they do, you’re likely to see them come through as Instant Money Trader alerts.

Odds are, you’d never own these companies. You’d just collect the cash the market’s willing to pay you now (just like our readers have done to the tune of $2,450 over the last 30 days) – and be happy if they never get to your low, low price. But if they do, any one of these is a company I’d be thrilled to own at such bargain basement prices. Because brand name companies with solid fundamentals are always the first to recover from a market downturn.

And who can pass up being paid hundreds, often thousands of dollars, for the prices of great companies to fall even further!

An Opportunity of Historic Proportions

Listen. In the history of the stock market there have been only three opportunities to invest in the highest quality equities at such dramatically beaten-down prices: following the great depression…after the oil crisis…and TODAY.

Right now companies with rock-solid fundamentals, gobs of cash on hand, and enormous earning power are selling for historically huge discounts. These are companies that will not only survive, but given their ability to take advantage of consolidation in their respective industries, they will be even stronger when this crisis passes.

We are taking advantage of a historic anomaly in the market. Extreme volatility has created an unprecedented level of uncertainty – and that uncertainty has resulted in a huge “mispricing” of options in the favor of those who know how to take advantage of it.

By selling puts on these companies, you have a chance to own these great companies at a price that’s far lower than today’s low – AND get paid more cash now for trying than at any time in the history of the markets.

It really is an incredible situation every serious investor should take advantage of, especially now.

And know this: Each and every day I’m tracking dozens of the most beaten down, undervalued companies out there – companies with brand names, essential services and dominant products.

I’m also looking for companies that have historically low price-to-earnings ratios and strong dividends payouts, since they tend not to fall as fast or as far when the market turns downward… but soar back the fastest when the market moves higher. Because any time you can keep the money you’ve been paid and not have to buy the stock – no matter how cheap your price – I’m happy.

One other thing I’ll mention before I tell you how to sign up for Instant Money Trader – and start collecting your instant money right away.

Sometimes there will be a case where we’ll recommend you sell options, collect your cash and the stock will soar much higher. That’s what happened with Morgan Stanley this past month. When that happens, rather than wait for the options to expire and end your obligation to buy the stock – we may chose to recommend you buy back the put, (at a much cheaper price, of course) and book your profits that way. That way you can free up more capital and sell even more puts, since you’re no longer obligated to keep enough cash on hand to buy the shares.

That said, I want to reiterate...

$9 Million in “Instant Money”
Using This Precise Strategy

I already told you Instant Money subscribers have had an opportunity to collect $2,450 (or more) in the past month alone – and there are plenty more opportunities to come.

Never since I began my career on the floor of the NYMEX 17 years ago have I seen the market so willing to shell out big dollars instantly to wait for brand name stocks to fall so much farther.

That’s why so many of my friends and colleagues are using it as we speak.

That’s why Warren Buffett recently collected over $9 million using this strategy on Burlington Northern Railway. It’s a win-win situation: you not only get to collect money up front – but you also have an opportunity to own stock in a company you want to own... at the price you want to pay!

And if you’re worried about the market falling further, well, that’s even more reason to use this strategy now.

Remember, with the Instant Money strategy you control the price you want to pay for any stock...

That’s why every Instant Money recommendation I make will have at least a 20% level of downside protection built into it. That means the stock you sell puts on will have to drop 20% for you to ever face the prospect of buying them. And remember, we’re talking great quality companies that have already been beaten down significantly – many in half.

And 20% is just a minimum.

In many cases, that downside protection could be as high as 50% – like the gold play I want to share with you.

Imagine – getting paid hard cash instantly – for your promise to buy quality stocks as much as 50% off today’s already depressed prices. If the price doesn’t fall, you keep the money. And if the stock goes up, you simply buy back the option at a cheaper price – and use the money for another deal!

The Pro Strategy You Can Use Now

You know, when we were planning this research service earlier in the year, we were going to offer it to just a few of our most serious subscribers – and charge a very high price for it. After all, this is a classic “professional trader’s” strategy. It’s for people who are in the market every day... who love the thrill that fast-paced trading delivers…and who are ready to “pull the trigger” the instant we send out a recommendation.

It’s also a service that could let you rack up thousands a month in instant money. Lets face it, when you see up to three trades a month that can put $900 to $2,300 directly into your account instantly – the money adds up very fast. And remember, that’s just the “free money” part of it – the money those risk-taking put buyers pay you...

I’m not even talking about the profits you could make if you wind up owning them at super cheap prices – and these bargain basement quality stocks rebound for huge gains.

That’s why we had every intention of positioning the Instant Money Trader as a high-end premium trading research service, priced at $2,995 per year.

But these are unusual times.

Investors have been hit especially hard over the last three months…and I know of no better way to “make things right again” than to start putting cash back into your pockets using this strategy. By selling strategically priced puts on the best companies you can put thousands of dollars in your account instantly – keep the money forever – and you may never have to buy the stock.

Just make the trade and you’re rewarded with cash instantly.

And when the market finally stops falling or even goes higher again – you could be sitting pretty, with cash in your pockets and the opportunity to cash out early by buying back your options at a much cheaper price than you sold them.

Because Instant Money Trader could have such a substantial and immediate impact on your cash reserves, I want to make it available now at a price low enough that you won’t think twice about getting it.

My complete “Become a Put-Selling Expert” Guide – everything you need to know to trade this incredibly exciting strategy for maximum profits – including details on how to get your account set up and ready. (I’ll even show you how to pay as a little as $1 per option trade…)

Up to 3 recommendations a month, with full coverage – like I said, I’ll tell you precisely which puts to sell…and which stocks to sell them on. (I’d strongly recommend you follow these and only these recommendations. This is not the market to go out and sell the wrong puts on the wrong companies. Remember, I’ve spent most of my adult life trading options. I was an options market maker for years. I even used to set end-of-day option prices on the NYMEX exchange. Not to brag, but I know probably better than anyone in the country when a put’s a great value on the sell side and when it’s not.)

With many recommendations I’ll give you two choices: a more conservative put to sell where you may get a little less money, but way more downside protection – and a more aggressive recommendation, where the instant money you get is bigger, but the stock has a little less further to fall. You decide which play to follow.

I’ll also alert you when the time is right to buy back the put, pocket our profits, and move on to our next play.

Subscriber Hotline – I fully understand put selling is a new concept to many, and I welcome any and all questions. That’s why we’ve set up a special e-mail address where you can ask any and all the questions you like, any time. And while we can’t give you any additional trading advice than we already have, we can tell you the technical aspects of executing one of our recommended trades.

Time to Show This Market Who’s Boss

In short, you’ll get everything you need to take full advantage of what I firmly believe is the safest, best and most timely way to make money right now.

All for $795 – a substantial discount off the price we’ll be charging for this service in the weeks ahead. A price where one recommendation could very well put twice that much money or more into you account instantly. (Indeed, anyone who subscribed last month and a half at this price has had an opportunity to collect three times that amount in instant cash so far!)

And if you decide The Instant Money Trader isn’t for you during your 60-day trial period – let us know and we’ll send your $795 back to you.

I’m not sure what else I can tell you.

Selling puts using my Instant Money Trader strategy is a great way to take advantage of these extraordinarily volatile markets – where the option prices others are willing to pay you have never been higher – and stock prices of great solid companies rarely lower. It really is a put seller’s “perfect storm”!

So why don’t you and I show this market who’s boss...

P.S. Another $1,750 on the table! Today I’m watching the market and it’s more volatile than ever. Great news for us. There’s a great opportunity that just came up on a company our subscribers could have already collected “instant money” on that could pay another $1,750 instantly – and the chances of you ever having to buy this “franchise” stock at this 10-year low price are almost non-existent. But this is a fluid situation and demands your immediate attention. Sign up for Instant Money Trader now and I’ll shoot you all the details once the play gets to where I’m completely comfortable.

Questions About Profiting
the “Instant Money” Way

Many folks who learn about put selling using my Instant Money Trader for the first time can’t believe there’s a way to get paid instantly to “wait” for stocks to fall 20%, 30% – even 50%. And when they learn they can keep the money even if the stock never falls – that’s when the “let’s-see-if-I-really-get-this” questions start flying.

So to help you understand this amazing trading technique even better, I thought I’d share with you a few questions I’ve received recently:

Q: Why is this the best time to use the strategy employed in the Instant Money Trader strategy?

Two reasons: Historically high option prices and low stock prices.

Today’s volatility has driven option prices sky high – and because you’d be a seller of put options, that means you’d get paid more for them. And even though great stocks have been mercilessly beaten down to historically low prices, this strategy gives you an opportunity to own them even cheaper…as much as 50% cheaper! So you not only get a chance to build a portfolio of super stocks at super low prices – you get paid now, just for trying!

Q: How much money do I need to have in my account to execute the Instant Money Trader?

One rule: You must have enough equity in your account to cover the cost of the stock you’re contracting to buy, in the event it falls to your price. To participate in a good number of Instant Money Trader recommendations, I recommend you have at least $5,000 to $10,000 in your account – either cash or securities. If you have a margin account – that’s all the better!

Q: Once I sell a put, how quickly does the money go into my account?

Just as soon as your order’s filled – typically within a few minutes.

Q: Can I trade this strategy through any broker?

The majority of brokers allow put selling. But on the off chance yours doesn’t I list three well-known brokers that offer superior option commission rates (one as low as $1 a trade!) in my special report “Profitable Put Selling Made Easy”, which is yours free with your Instant Money subscription.

Q: Can anyone do this?

Even though this is a strategy used by professional traders, anyone with an active brokerage account can sell puts using my safe, Instant Money strategy. It may just be a matter of calling a broker and asking for an account that’s set up to sell puts. It’s very easy to do, just a simple call for most people and a couple of forms you may have to fill out.

And it’s well worth the small effort. Especially now given how cheap stocks are and how high today’s volatility has driven how much you could get paid for selling put premiums. That’s why so many professionals and the greatest investor of our time are using it now (And I’m sure they’re not thrilled with us for sharing this strategy with you!)

Q: Can I use this strategy on any stocks?

Yes – so long as options are offered on a stock you can sell put options. But remember, we like to use this strategy only on solid, blue chip, undervalued stocks with great underlying fundamentals.

Q: If the stocks you’re recommending selling puts on are so great and so undervalued – why wouldn’t I be dying to own them at such a cheap price?

Great question. The short answer is yes, you’d be happy to own them if it comes to that. That’s why we’ll never recommend you sell puts on a stock we wouldn’t want to own at the price we’ve selected. But if there’s one thing my 17 years as a professional floor trader and as a private trader in my own account has taught me, it's this: anytime you have a chance to take “free money” from the market, when the only risk is a positive outcome, TAKE IT! That’s why a) we select our recommended target prices low enough that you’re not likely to own the stock if you act on the recommendation, and b) anytime a stock we’ve recommended selling puts on moves substantially higher, I’ll recommend locking in your profits by buying the puts back at a much cheaper price.

Q: You keep mentioning selling puts on 1,000 shares. Can I do less? Can I do more?

Yes and yes. But keep in mind that every options contract obligates you to buy 100 shares of stock. So selling 2 put option contracts obligates you to buy 200 shares at your price... selling 5 put option contracts obligates your to buy 500 shares at your price…10 puts, 1,000 shares…50 puts, 5,000 shares and so on. A lot of people start off selling 1 put contract—then add to their trades as the free money adds up.

Q: I’ve heard option trading is risky. And that’s what this is, right? Options Trading?

Any kind of trading done haphazardly is risky. And no question, most people who buy options lose money (90% of them, typically…) But that’s the beauty of this strategy: you wouldn’t buy options, you’d SELL them, which means you’d get the money now – before time erodes their value and before the premium evaporates into thin air. What’s more, you’d get paid for the opportunity to buy a good stock at a much, much cheaper price…so cheap, in fact, that in most cases the price never falls to that level. So you could just keep the cash that the risk-taking option buyer paid you, weeks back when the option still had real market value. Your only risk, in fact, is having to buy the stock if it falls to the price at which you agreed to buy it and then have it fall lower... a situation this strategy works hard to avoid, by selecting target prices 20%, 30% even 50% lower then they’re currently trading.

Bottom line: Anyone who knows me knows I’m a very conservative and careful trader. Yet I believe put-selling done properly is the safest and most profitable kind of trading you can do…especially in a market like this. If it weren’t, I certainly wouldn’t be using this technique in my (or my wife’s) retirement account!

Q: Why is this service so affordable? $795 down from $2,995 is quite a discount.

Just to be clear, it won’t be at this price forever it can raise again very soon. But right now especially, I believe you have a historic opportunity to make a lot of money, with very little risk. Seventeen years trading options and I’ve never seen a situation where options are priced so high and stocks priced so low. But here’s what it boils down to. It hasn’t been an easy year for investors. Millions have lost billions. I just want to give anyone who sees this opportunity – and recognizes its enormous wealth building potential – every chance to prosper from it.
