No-Cost Option Strategy
 

By: Dave Caplan

 

The following is an excerpt from Dave Caplan's The Options Secret 

 
 

How about a position with a 5-1 risk-reward plus a 75% or better probability of profit?  A trade that can not only make money if the trend continues in our favor, but will not lose if the market remains flat, or even, at times, goes somewhat against us!

 

This position also removes the major complaint that most professional traders have when purchasing options - that the time decay in a flat or slowly moving market causes loss of premium - making a losing trade out of the option, where a future's position would have broken even or been profitable.  We are going to rid ourselves of this disadvantage, and also be able to not lose, at times, even when the market moves against us.

The Importance of Understanding the Market
 
By: Oliver L. Velez
 

The following is an excerpt from Oliver L. Velez's Swing Trading

 

The equity market, or the stock market, is a wealth-creating mechanism unlike the futures market.  The futures market is really and truly a zero sum game; some would actually call it a minus sum game where you add commissions to the factor.  What that really means is that the futures market is a wealth-robbing mechanism while the equity market is a wealth-creating mechanism.  This is incredibly important to understand before we actually delve into the concepts of swing trading.  I'll explain why.

 
A Tale of Two Ciscos
 

The following is an excerpt from Chuck Hughes' The Fail Safe Financial Program

The stock market is an efficient mechanism for discounting future company earnings prospects.  When a stock drops in price I is usually an indication that the "street" is anticipating lower earnings.  Sector rotation occurs when the earnings outlook for a sector starts to lag other sectors.

 
Option Secret

David L. Caplan's The Option Secret

 

This book is an indispensable tool for all option traders. Inside, renowned publisher, speaker and author Dave Caplan explains how to use volatility as a measure of under- and over-valuation on any option. This, according to Caplan, can put the odds of success (profitability) in your favor up to 90% of the time. Coupled with the limited risk inherent in options, that measurement of volatility is the true key to realizing consistent profits in options. Caplan explains it all, in clear and concise language, in the pages of this breakthrough book. And you can get a copy now at half the regular price. Supplies are limited, so order soon!
