My name is Lee Lowell.

I’m the editor of the The Triple-Zone Profit Trader & The Instant Money Trader for Mt. Vernon Research and a regular contributor/editor to The Smart Profits Report and The Xcelerated Profits Report.

I’m one of America’s leading options professionals, spending six years in the options “trenches” as a market maker on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) in New York City.

Since 1998, I’ve headed my own office-based trading firm where I trade commodity options, stock & index options, ETF options and e-mini futures options on a daily basis.

I’m also the founder of Lowell Capital Consultants, an options advisory firm that teaches investors how to use stock options to enhance their portfolios.

You may have read my popular book, Get Rich With Options: Four Winning Strategies Straight From The Exchange Floor, or read one of my numerous articles for OptionInvestor.com. I also contribute to several financial publications such as Futures magazine and Technical Analysis Of Stocks & Commodities.

Recently, I partnered with eSignal to produce articles for the website’s education section.

I’m one of those rare men in the investing world… Who’s not about climbing the ladder at any of those hotshot trading firms (though any firm would be glad to have me).

All I had ever done up until my "retirement" (at age 31) was trade for profit – either with my own cash or for the company that entrusted me with millions in trading dollars. And for a professional trader, nothing can top the experience of being right down there "in the pit" where all the action is, six hours a day… where one facial expression can lead a seasoned trader to huge gains… and one mistake can cost tens of thousands, even millions, of dollars.

Much of my success is due to one simple fact: I know how to make money. And when you're risking millions of dollars on a trade, you better have a strategy that will virtually assure winning. Otherwise, your days on the trading floor – indeed, your days as a trader – will be very brief.

I have proven myself through every step of my highly successful career.

At age 25, my firm was so impressed with my trading skills after just one year as a wet-behind-the-ears options clerk; I was promoted to occupy one of 816 cherished seats on the trading floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange and entrusted with millions of dollars in trading funds.

I became a market maker for my firm – the cream of the crop savvy, senior traders who establish both the sell and the buy price of a trading instrument with the goal of making money off the spread.

As you'll discover in a moment, it's this experience that formed the foundation of my strategy. And I’m helping readers learn how to extract thousands in routine gains from the markets with every recommendation I make.

In all, I spent six years as a floor trader making huge gains for my firm and myself. At age 31, I left the NYMEX trading floor – packed up and "retired" to Hawaii to recharge my batteries, regain my sanity… and to embark on my next professional challenge: Mastering the art of chart analysis and electronic screen trading research and distilling that information into an easy to read format so I can show readers like you how to make money on a regular basis.

My experience as a floor trader gave me the knowledge of the ins and outs of how options work, and over the past 17 years I've perfected my options strategy, the most direct (and profitable!) way to carry that experience over to the upstairs, retail environment.

And shortly after joining the expert team of analysts at Mt. Vernon Research in 2006, I launched the Triple-Zone Profit Strategy… a research service that shows subscribers how to make trades in all different kinds of commodity options using my options strategy…

In my experience, there are only a handful of option strategies to execute. This is based on many years of trading in what I've found to be the most profitable ways… and the easiest for my psyche. This is the approach that I will take with the Triple-Zone Profit Strategy.

And since its start, it’s been humming like a fine-tuned racecar – generating 31 winners out of 41… an impressive 76% win-rate during a period of great market volatility. That includes 24 double-digit winners and 6 triple-digit winners… (Gains from 99% in 10 days… to 239% in 34 days)*

Join the Booming World of Commodities

The Triple-Zone Profit Trader is a research service that is designed to help subscribers make large gains on a regular basis from any number of major commodities, including gold… silver… soybeans… orange juice… crude oil… cotton… sugar… among many others.

This means that you don't have to wait around for profits to come to you, instead let my expert team and I recommend what you need to do in order to play the biggest money-making potential on any given day.

With this system you can go both long or short… and gain if the commodity goes up or down or nothing at all – all how NYMEX floor traders would play options, as I did on the trading floor for six years.

The advisory service is set up so anyone can use it. Each play is spelled out in plain language and sent exactly as you need to read it to a broker. It couldn't be easier to get into a very successful trading research service that takes advantage of the booming world of commodities. The Triple-Zone Profit Trader recommends commodity options that allow the user to take advantage of the swings in commodity prices.

Most of our plays will last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. We will not be putting on recommendations that last years. My philosophy is this: I'm in this profession to make money to pay my bills and put away for savings. I need to pull profits out of the markets as often as I can, and I will run this research service with the same approach.

I've learned that hitting singles and doubles is the most consistent way to keep the balance sheet in the black. Swinging for the fences is certainly fun, and we will do that from time to time, but it is not the way to consistently win in the commodity option markets.

A majority of the recommended positions will be for futures options that are traded like the open-outcry method in the pits of the commodity exchanges. I will give specific instructions and tell you exactly what to say to a broker, should you choose to follow my recommendation.

My goal, in addition to increasing your personal wealth, is to make you a smarter, more informed individual. Using options can allow you to have less money at risk in the market, gain greater leverage over your invested dollars and enable you to spread your wealth over numerous investments at the same time.

Even in this Market… Producing Winners

Recently, we’ve seen lots of volatility in both the commodity and stock market. 

But our team of experts continue to focus on commodity option plays that are generating excellent returns in 2009… like these two in the last few months…

A sugar play that was closed out with a 62% return on our money in 43 days and a silver play that was closed out with a 50% return on our money in 49 days…

I am in constant contact with my friends on the floor of the NYMEX, whose insight is invaluable during these volatile times.

We continue to watch and wait for timely entries. We don't want to get caught in a position within a market still overly influenced by large funds trying to get out, or by the unnecessary actions taking place in the stock market.

Even though we run a commodity option research service, it's times like these where the general stock market mania will spill over into other sectors of the economy – namely commodities, and we’re experiencing that now.

We know what you're going through. We're going through it too… the uncertainty of the market… the stress of watching your portfolio fluctuate wildly on a daily basis.

But what’s most important to keep in mind is that as bad as this market seems right now, there's enormous opportunity ahead.

So we're adapting our strategy to capitalize on the opportunities this irrational market is handing us – opportunities ideally suited for Triple-Zone subscribers.

Now is not the time to give up. Like the world's greatest investor is, you should be looking at this as an enormous period of opportunity, possibly unlike any we'll see again in our lifetime.

Six Years in the Pits…
With an Outstanding 80% Win Rate

As a market maker in the commodity trading pits at the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), I was one of the guys who actually set the prices for commodities and was one of very few people on the planet privy to the insider secrets that professional traders use every day to amass profits.

And now, I’m going to put all that knowledge to work for you using my proven professional strategies. In 2007 alone, I notched up an impressive 78% win rate. This includes:

• Squeezing a 71% return on margin on orange juice in 53 days
  
  
• Grabbing a 239% return on margin on the wheat trade in 34 days
  
  
• Pulling a 66% return on margin on the coffee trade in 22 days
  
  
• Grabbing a 84.5% return on margin on natural gas in 16 days
  
  
• Dishing investors a 34% return on margin on coffee in 13 days
  
  
• Delivering a 111% return on margin on silver in 14 days

The Triple-Zone Profit Trader also racked up some amazing gains in 2008…

• In 7 days flat, subscribers saw a 99.1% return on margin on a cotton put spread
  
  
• Over a 22-day period, a gold put spread brought in a 74.5% return on margin
  
  
• In a little over two months, a coffee put spread cashed in with a huge 115% return on initial margin*

How do I do this? Through a simple philosophy…

The TZP “Two-Step”: Read and Execute

Executing trades is easy. All you need to do is read my e-mail alerts and, if you choose to follow my recommendations, follow my step-by-step instructions. I’ll show you:

• Exactly how to make each trade
• What to pay for each trade
• The estimated holding time and profit potential you can expect from the trade
• Exactly what to say to a broker over the phone

Here are a couple of examples of how this works (please note – these are not actual recommendations):

Oil:

We have a new order in the crude oil options market. I like the way the oil is looking right now, so we want to take a bullish trade.

Here’s the trade:

“Tell your broker to sell the May 2007 $58/$56 put spread for 60 cents or better. In this spread, you will be selling the $58 put option and buying the $56 put option for a total sale price of 60 cents or higher (if possible) per spread. That equates to receiving $600 per spread.

“The crude oil market trades on the NYMEX and is open for option trading from 9am-2:30pm EST. This market moves fast, so stay sharp.

“Since we are selling the options, there is no investment required, but there is a margin requirement. You will have to keep at least $1,400 per spread in your account to do this trade. At expiration, if the spread expires worthless (we want that to happen), this will be a return on margin of 43%. This trade expires in 55 days.”

Result: The oil market wasted no time in moving higher – and just 5 days later, subscribers cashed out for a 14% return.

Coffee:

Looks like the coffee market has decided to come back down again, getting very close to our support level. Let’s go ahead and put in an order and see if we can take advantage of this current move. We want to take a neutral to bullish position, so we will be selling an out-of-the-money put option credit spread.

Here’s what you tell your broker:

I want to sell the June 2007 coffee $1.00/$1.05 put option credit spread for a limit sell price of 70-80 points. I’m giving you a range for this spread because coffee can be volatile at times. In this spread, you’ll be selling the $1.05 put option and buying the $1.00 put option all together in one single transaction for a credit of 70-80 points per spread.

Coffee options trade on the NYBOT and are open from 8:30am till 12:30pm EST. Coffee options are worth $3.75 per point, so you can look to collect between $262.50 and $300 for every spread that you sell.

Result: Just 14 days later, subscribers locked in a gain of $168.75 per spread – representing a return of 34%. And the timing was perfect. Just one day later, the coffee market tanked.

So why trade commodities anyway?

Rake in the Profits… And Grab a Quartet of Commodity Benefits

Quite simply, commodities investing offers several key benefits over regular stock investing:

• Minimal External Influences: Unlike the stock market, commodities aren’t bombarded by as many outside influences, spewing out conflicting data. Nor are you buying a piece of a company run by a few individuals. When you buy commodities, you’re investing in raw materials and actual physical products that are used for everyday consumption. And although hedge funds can push a commodity up or down temporarily, the commodity markets are large enough to encompass all players pretty seamlessly.
  
  
• Commodity Price Moves Are More Predictable: Simple supply and demand is largely responsible for driving the commodity markets. That means inventory levels and growing cycle data are major factors. For example, will a drought in the Midwest affect corn and soybeans? Will hurricanes in Florida and the Gulf of Mexico hit orange and natural gas supplies? Will frost in Brazil lower the coffee crop? And because weather forecasting technology has become more sophisticated, it’s easier to get a better handle on future price direction.
  
  
• Commodities Are Free From Corporate Control: With commodities, there’s no boardroom drama, no shady executives, no questionable decisions and no quarterly earnings reports to consider. You’re simply taking a position against the other side.
  
  
• Commodities Offer You A Tax Break: Commodities receive favorable tax treatment, compared to stocks and stock options. That’s because commodities and commodity options have all their short-term gains split on a 60/40 basis. That means 60% of short-term gains are taxed at the lower, long-term capital gains rate, while the other 40% is taxed at your higher, ordinary tax rate. With stocks, however, all short-term stock gains are taxed at your ordinary tax rate – sometimes as high as 39%.

In a tricky financial market, with too many choices and not enough viable opportunities, the Triple-Zone Profit Trader truly represents one of your best options. Because when you have those commodity investing benefits on board, and have a professional team to guide you towards gains every step of the way – you’re really in a position to reap some big gains.

I hope you will join my top-notch team and me on this adventure, as we will do our best to make it a highly profitable endeavor for you.
