It fails many Americans!
So says the father of the modern day 401(k).
Do you mind if I share some of my insider
viewpoints why this is?
Great!
The 401(k) passed into law under the Revenue Act
of 1978.
The... Revenue Act?
Hmm... What's more unusual is that IRS was in
charge of the 401(k), which is the same government
body in charge of getting as much money from you.
That's a little conflicting, right?
Before the 401(k), companies offered pension plans
to employees.
Companies started to realize the amount of risk
that these pensions had put on the company.
The way the could transfer the risk and
responsibility from company to employee was
through a 401(k).
One of the common rebuttals is that it's
tax-deferred.
True... But here's the fine print.
Federal Income Tax is deferred, but Social
Security and Medicare are taxed 7.6% a year.
The 401(k) tax benefit was to help executives on
their yearly bonuses, not the middle-class worker.
That is why I make the case that most people are
not in a position to benefit from the tax benefit.
Usually, in life, you end up paying more for
something later; than you would if you paid now.
But, if my employer matches my contribution, it's
free money.
That's your decision to make, but I don't think
it's worth it.
After the introduction of the 401(k), this opened
the door to bankers getting their hands on your
money causing most to turn a blind eye over the
years saying, let a professional do it.
99% of 401(k) plans provide limited options which
all happen to be mutual funds that have management
and hidden fees.
After fees, the average return drops down to
2%-4%.
Then factor in a conservative number of 3% for
inflation, poof!
You take all the market risk while the funds
collect their fees and you can't touch it.
From what I've researched, the average 401(k)
balance is around $96,000.
Let's pretend you retired today with $250,000 in
your 401(k).
Let's say the annual interest rate earned on that
nest egg is 2% with inflation at 3% (annually).
If took $15,000 a year from that account to live
off, it would last 25 years, that's it.
That is a real problem most Americans face today
because that's not enough to survive.
I saw this first hand with my Great Grandma (Nan).
Before she passed at 87 years old, she was
battling cancer, buried in debt and still
searching for a job.
That is the mission OptionSIZZLE was founded on,
which is to help people like you take back control
of your money and become independent money making
machines.

You’re a scam!
That’s the reply I received back from a
self-proclaimed “not your average financial
expert.”
I had reached out to ask if he was open to
having me on his weekday investing radio show.
He copied and pasted the whole sales page for our
Weekly Options Income Course, saying he didn’t
understand why I would need more exposure since I
can generate a 6% return every week.
It’s an approach by creating high probability
outcomes using the S&P 500 options with defined
spreads.
I can see why it may turn off someone at first if
they just read the headline, but he’s insisting
that we’re saying it’s guaranteed.
So I replied: “Don’t you talk to your audience
about how to use options to enhance returns,
reduce risk and increase the probability of
success?”
Keep in mind this guy has a weekday radio show
telling people how to manage their money and he
manages money for others.
Here’s his full reply:
“I don’t.
I certainly don’t suggest people use options
unless they are wealthy.
Options can be a nice strategy to protect wealth
via hedges. Sadly, options are typically sold to
non-wealthy people as a way of getting
commissions, newsletter or website services
subscriptions, etc.
If you were good at options from a practical
point, you wouldn’t be in the business of selling
systems to teach laymen how to do it. Even the
name “optionsizzle” sounds creepy and invites SEC
and Finra scrutiny.”
I don’t want to it to be the pot calling the
kettle black, but I’m sharing this to encourage
you.
That’s his opinion, which is uninformed.
This guy likely talks a good game to clients using
the same rehashed financial nonsense.
In fact, this is on his site, “an uncanny ability
to predict market winners & losers along with an
eye for financial trends that others seem to miss.”
Yeah, this guy can predict winners, losers, and
trends that other firms with millions of dollars
in research…. missed.
Okay.
I what you to see that putting your money with
a financial professional is gambling.
They are taught the same thing, gather assets.
I took a few minutes to see if he was a registered
financial professional like I once was.
Guess what?
He’s not.
In 2008, I made a choice show a layman how they
can be in more control of their future and money,
then nickel and dime them of fees the rest of
their life.
To your wealth, freedom & options!

It's the internet of money...
It's tough to understand how it works at first.
But... so is how the FED keeps creating helicopter
money.
The future is here, and it will be a dancers dream
come true the day they don't have to lug a hefty
bag full of singles to the bank teller.
Only 8 years old… Bitcoin has become a game
changer for finance.
You probably remember hearing how Bitcoin traded
up over 1000 and then collapsed two years ago.
Since then, more volume (adoption) has stabilized
Bitcoin prices.
The CME Group just launched a pair of indexes
designed to track the cryptocurrency's price.
It's the starting foundation for a derivatives
market, which means the chance to start trading
options on Bitcoin is very near.
Today is a big deal…
Because we announce that, OptionSIZZLE will start
accepting Bitcoin.
I'm very excited to finally share that with you
and also keep learning about it.
I've already seen a lot of fiction around Bitcoin
similar to trading options.
Can I ask you...
What do you know about Bitcoin? (good or bad)
Do you have any Bitcoin?
Do you think it makes sense to learn more about
Bitcoin?

It's not savvy approach...
... If you ask a professional.
They'll laugh at you and mumble, amateur.
Success in the financial markets doesn't work any
different than everyday life.
We're trading something due to supply and demand
every day.
Let's travel back to 1983.
If you invested $100 into the S&P 500 ahead of one
of the largest bull markets in our history.
That $100 would be worth around $3,300 today.
You went against common wisdom and blew your money
with buying Star War Action Figures.
Each one cost around $3, so that would give you
about 33 action figures.
Well... those Star Wars action figures trade
anywhere from $1,000, up to $12,000 for rare ones.
It paid to challenge conventional wisdom.
In part 2, I will share the #1 mistake collectible
and stock owners make.
It's something I discuss it detail in "Fearless
Investing With Options."
Learning how to trade isn't about options...
... Or about money.
It becomes life changing.
You'll become fearless because you'll start to
approach life, business, and relationships
differently.

Joshua Belanger -
In 2008, I went down the rabbit hole.
I thought I could make money in any market.
A naive and unrealistic perception.
I was starting to manage client accounts while
working on a trading desk.
And then, I was fired!
It was time to go full time on my own.
I tried to be superman, but realized it was only a
custom.
I lost money!
I panicked!
I became desperate.
I needed a quick fix, and that's how it started.
It's like a baseball hitter who's struggling
mid-season who tries to change their mechanics.
I didn't stick with what I knew and allowed things
play out.
I invested a lot of time and money chasing returns
following other people's proprietary systems that
used indicators, candlesticks, charts,
fundamentals or when Jupiter crossed the 3rd
Solstice.
Maybe they do work, just never for me.
I guess I'm average, but over the years I've
mastered an approach that has consistency worked,
and the numbers don't lie.
If you're like me and haven't been able to find
success with going down those other roads, you're
in the right spot.

So while I was walking back with my coffee
earlier, I was listening to a podcast.
The guy on the podcast was talking about the
recent discoveries related to turmeric such as how
it can help lower cholesterol.
They continued testing and found adding a little
black pepper enhanced the body's consumption
of the turmeric by 1,000 times.
A little fun fact of the day, but here's how
it relates to investing, trading and business.
For many years trading options I would let my
short options expire.
Selling options have a higher probability of
success than buying, but I started to realize that
coming into the last week gave me trouble at times
seeing profitable trades turning into losers.
One reason for that is because of the options
gamma, which becomes more sensitive to directional
moves as expiration approaches.
With only having the experience, I had a hunch
that managing trades earlier could be more
beneficial.
I wasn't sure because it flys in the face of what
everyone believes in the market with, let your
winners run.
I didn't have the research at the time to confirm
my opinion.
That was until tasytrade came around and spent
millions of dollars on researching this.
Their research concluded that managing winners at
50% was the optimal level that enhanced returns
and reduced volatility.
If you want to generate better returns and reduce
volatility, add the black pepper by managing
profits.

Today was the day the iPhone 7 was unveiled to the
world.
I admit, I watched most of on my iPhone 6s Plus
using Google's free internet at Starbucks during
my mid-day break.
While I walked upstairs to sit outside and drink
my coffee while I streamed it, I noticed a dozen
people watching the event on their devices as
well.
There's a lot of excitement about these events
with Apple.
These are binary events, and when there's
uncertainty, there's opportunity.
Looking at the options that expire this Friday,
the market was pricing a $2.30 range with prices
closing at $107.70, yesterday.
Because the market knew this event was coming, the
shorter dated options had more priced in risk.
This is the #1 reason why so many lose money
trading options.
Some may buy a call because they think the iPhone
7 is going to blow everyone's mind, while others
may think Apple's run is over and purchase a put.
Either way, they are choosing a direction and
buying option premium before this event which
implied volatility is elevated.
Long-term success with options isn't based on
picking price direction.
With stock, it's a 50/50 coin flip.
With buying options the way most do, the
probabilities will decrease against you.
With prices closing at $107.70 in Apple last
night, selling to open the 108/107 straddle,
(technically a strangle because they're no half
point strike options) would have brought in around
$2.60 per transaction.
The probabilities of this trade working were
greater than picking a direction.
With a standard margin account, it would have used
around $2,000.00 of the buying power.
After the dust was settled today, that 108/107
strangle closed at $2.10, which is a 20% ROI
overnight.
During the session, though, this position traded
lower meaning it could be bought to close for more
of profit.
Tip: Because this was a strangle, this does carry
more risk, and it's more advantageous to manage
these types of positions at 25%.
That means those who took the other side of buying
options, most likely lost.
Success with trading options works just like this
over and over again.

options and want to learn the right education and
systems to become an independent money-making
machine, then head over to our courses page and

A fellow Sizzler wrote in yesterday asking, "You
don't discuss a lot about investing in stocks,
why?"
There's a good reason why and remember, this is
just my opinion.
Very few probably know a high-level executive at a
publicly traded company.
However, let's pretend you lived next door to one.
If you owned shares of the company and asked them
any question related to the business that wasn't
already made public, they'd tell you it's against
the law.
Now there are good reasons why this is, but that's
the reason why firms and investors created things
like P/E ratios and such to provide confidence on
why a stock maybe a great buy.
The truth is that no one knows because all the
relevant information to run a business is unknown
until everyone is told at the same time.
And even then not all the details are released.
There's no edge, and all you're doing is following
everyone else.
That is why I'm adamant about having control of
risk and having an edge.
People lie, but the options don't.
There are times the options market doesn't get it
right, but that is a less likely outcome.
The way I trade options removes the fundamental
and technical noise and allows me to just focuses
on the probabilities.
I can't say fundamental and technical analysis
doesn't work.
I just haven't seen it work, and my approach fits me.
I approach investing into businesses the same way as
I trade options.
I like to invest in small private online
businesses that have shown to be consistent
cash-flow generators.
With private companies, I can look through every
detail necessary and create favorably structured
deals.
It provides more control and can sell them off
when I make back the investment.
I believe this is the perfect 1-2 combo for any
portfolio that wants to creates diversification,
cash flow and above-average returns.
That is why I talk about other investment
opportunities other than trading options.

options, then check out the book I wrote called:

I feel like a hypocrite saying this because I
loathe financial institutions, but I got back from
making a deposit.
The reality is that there are no other great
options available.
It's similar to the current U.S. Presidential
Election.
Good hearted people are working at these places,
but the whole operation is made to nickel and dime
us slowly.
I'm not sure why JP Morgan would publish this, but
I just read that investors have taken out nearly
$106 billion out of actively managed equity funds
in 2016.
It's a large number, but overall it's not that
much to tip the needle on money under active
management.
However, it could be a signal that people are
starting to have the confidence to manage their
money themselves.
Though the money has moved into passive index
funds, the message and teachings I and others
provide become more important than ever.
That's the first step, but money flows and it
could flow back.
My goal is that I don't want that money to flow
back.
The good that has come from the FOMC keeping
interest rates so low is that it's causing people
to look outside the ordinary investment vehicles
to achieve returns.
It has been a setup back from some, but I think an
overall advancement in finance literacy with
people having no choice but to take back control
of their future.
These money vampires won't kill themselves; they
are hiding waiting for that moment of weakness.
They know you will be back or will get fed up.
However, you have to make that promise to you and
your family and put that stake in their heart
today.
By making the commitment that you're in control of
your investment decisions today!
It's not going to be easy at first, but it's not
as hard as you think because we can do it
together.
The first step in your journey to acquiring the
knowledge to think and investment differently
with using options can be found in this book:

When I first learned about options, I was studying
to take the financial industry exam to become a
financial advisor (Series 7).
After I passed and scored high on the part related
to options, I quickly realized I didn’t know how
to trade options successfully after losing
$2,000.00 on my first options trade.
Despite being a licensed professional, the
financial industry wasn’t interested in teaching
me how to become successful trading options, only
how to gather assets.
After reading a lot of books related to options
trading, I noticed that most provide a broad
overview of how options work just like I had
learned when taking my exam.
They leave out the most important aspect of how
options work with leaving out implied volatility,
which is #1 option component that every person
needs to understand if they want to be successful
trading options.
That is why most lose money starting out with
options because they thought a book or some
rehashed information on the internet was all they
needed to learn.
Then like what happened to me, they go out and
quickly realize there’s more to this than what
that book covered.
I’ve found that most options trading books are
outdated and will teach you how to use options to
play your directional assumptions either using
technical or fundamental analysis.
Since the markets are random; research and real
world experience has proved that long-term success
isn’t from trying to pick the right direction.
FIWO shows you how to generate consistent returns
with putting the odds of profitability in your
favor with trading options.
It walks you through exact parameters to know when
to use certain option strategies and provides an
easy process on how to find the best trade
opportunities without getting overwhelmed.
If you want to remove the fear and greed and
approach options trading as a numbers game, then
FIWO is your starting point on how to become an
options trading machine.
It’s the book I wish had been available when I
first started trading options over a decade ago.

I just got done reading the current positions that
hedge fund manager Carl Icahn's filed with SEC.
If you recall, he created a video a few months ago
warning of a massive market crash.
Well, it hasn't happened yet...
He believes that the FOMC monetary policy has
created a bubble with its low-interest rates.
I don't disagree with him at all.
Here's what has happened because of the FOMC
policy.
With low-interest rates, companies have been more
encouraged to buy other businesses or do buybacks
than they are to invest in new equipment and
machinery.
This phenomenon inflates earnings for the short
term but is detrimental in the long term.
When you make bold predictions, and they don't
come true right away, you fall to the waste side
regarding the media.
The media only wants people who are making
predictions the market is only going higher.
We all know about the housing bubble and those
that were taking the other side; took heat for
some time.
However, you only know about the ones that made
huge returns, but what about the ones that were
right and went bust?
We have all opinions, but your prediction is no
greater than Carl Icahn's.
You can't go all in with things that are out of
your control or even surefire outcomes because
anything can happen.
How Carl Icahn or Ronnie Woo Woo day trader
approaches the market, is different.
I can tell you that most are looking for home runs
because it's not their money and time is on their
side because they collect their fees.
If you're like me, you want to get paid quicker
and consistently.
That can be done with being consistent, staying
small and have a system that removes the fear and
greed with making the market beat you.

butter approach to trading options, I created this

Keep in mind, If you own high yield ETFs or stocks
that have used a lot of the cheap leverage to do

That is a question we've all had, and I receive
several times a week.
I remember asking myself this the first time after
seeing the calls I bought the day before drop to a
90% loss on my first trade.
It went to become a max loss that wiped out my
small $2,000.00 account at the time.
Forward to today after hundreds of thousands of
trades, research and experience, I can confidently
provide the right answer to you.
That answer is, doing nothing is better than doing
something.
The reason why is because options allow you to
know your max loss and exceptions before entering
a position, which is why it's a better investing
instrument than stock.
Most people think they can control their risk
after opening a position.
That's not true because anything can happen, such
as a flash crash.
Stop losses are your enemy because people don't
let their position play out or understand the
probability getting stopped out before hitting
their ideal profit target.
The only way you can control risk is before entry.
All options expire, so you have an idea of what
the worst case scenario will be with a loss and in
what time frame.
It's more important to provide the position as
much duration as possible to let the odds play
out.
If you prepare for the worst case scenario with
position sizing, you're prepared and can just
focus on putting new trades and managing winners.
Even if you have a max loser, the market will
clear the losing trades out.
Being consistent is the key to long-term success
and the more variables you need to decide on, the
more inconsistent you will become.
That is why keeping your position size small,
focus on high probability outcomes, adding as many
trades as market conditions allow for your
approach, use a mix of undefined and defined risk
trades, managing winning trades at 50% and letting
losers be losers are the key to success.
It's that simple!
If you're still struggling to be consistent
trading options and want a simple and easy weekly
approach, this course here will help you.

A few days ago, I was watching the women's
gymnastics.
What they can do is incredible.
Team USA dominated this event.
As I was watching them, something stood out to me.
I've seen it some of the other events as well.
These girls practice the same routine over and
over again to a point they can do it in their
sleep.
I saw these girls do the same routine as a group
and then individually.
Why is that?
Well, because the routines aren't about one
amazing flip or jump.
It's about the whole body of work and being able
to do it without any mistakes.
Despite their endless practices, which helps them
at the moment.
There's also something that can happen during
their routine.
That is what they train for.
Doing it perfectly is nearly impossible to
accomplish, but being able to recover from a
slight mistake is why they do it over and over
again.
That is how you need to approach investing and
trading options.
It's not about one trade; it's about your whole
body of work.
It's about having the right training to create
consistency so when something does happen, that it
doesn't rock you and take you out of the game.
There's no new super secret strategy or approach;
it's about learning one strategy at a time.

Earlier today I noticed a large option trade hit
the tape in the Financial ETF (XLF).
The trade was a block of 18,430 August $24 puts
bought to open for 20 cents.
The total volume was 24,090 contracts at that
strike vs. an open interest of 6,363 contracts.
Now, I don't pay too much attention to large
contracts traded in ETF's because there's not much
edge because ETF's are used for a lot of hedging.
However, I wanted to point out a few reasons why
this could at least be a short term directional
trade.
The XLF was down .79% compared to the SPX .29%
today.
A few names in that ETF were down even more like
Bank of America closing down 2.50%.
The XLF weekly options that expire on Friday are
in backwardation.
What that means is that the market is pricing in
elevated short-term risk, which I'm not sure why.
The current implied volatility percentile is on
the low end of the range at 7%.
Which means selling options here is not
advantageous.
That doesn't mean buying option premium is a layup
either because you have to pick direction and it
volatility could continue to contract.
When you buy premium, you need volatility to go in
your favor as well.
In this scenario if prices of the XLF dropped,
volatility would go increase.
If you want to follow the bearish trade in the
financials and also think the buyers of the puts
are onto something, then you would want to
consider buying a put spread.
The September 9 24.5/23 put spread for a $.61
provides a 1:1 trade setup with a 30% probability
of hitting the 50% profit target of 90 cents in
the next 30 days.
If you like following this kind of activity in the
options market, but want help creating ideas, I'm
going to be opening up a service called the Hot
Money Options Trading Alerts.
The service is going to provide ideas to trade
following unusual options activity just like this

I found that trade and others.

And is the biggest Ponzi scheme in the

In fact, it's experiencing a $32 trillion
shortfall right now.
This swindle was sold to good, unsuspecting,

Americans who thought their government was
always going to take care of them.
Just like most Ponzi scheme's the first in

However, you and I are going to get the short

Slumps suck!
That's how things are for me right now.
There's just not much opportunity with how I
approach trading options right now.
And the few opportunities that have popped up
haven't worked in my favor.
The financial markets are a great equalizer.
Just like in sports, players go on streaks.
However, at the end of the season, their averages
normalize because they end up going through slumps
as well during a season.
No one can have a consistent hot hand in the
financial markets.
It's about being consistent which means doing the
same thing even when things aren't working for you
in the short-term.
While looking for opportunities today, I saw this
interesting fact today.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the S&P
500's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is now over
25.
That means investors are willing to pay $25 for
every $1 in current earnings today. That's 56%
higher than the historical average P/E of 16.
The S&P 500 has only had a higher P/E ratio two
other times in history…
Can you guess when that was?
2000 and 2007.
No one knows when this turns, but it will.
If I had profits from long underlyings, I would be
closing them down right now.
What I am doing is building a core position with
shorting the S&P 500 and selling puts against it.
Once volatility does come back into the market, I
will be looking at trading options on the SPX.
If you believe the market is ready for a meltdown

Earlier today, I stumbled upon an article titled,
"Stocks Your Parents Should Have Bought the Year
You Were Born".
Now, this article was for the baby boomers,
because I wasn't born yet.
One example they provided is if my grandparents
had bought $1,000 worth of stock in General
Electric in 1943 and held it to now, it would be
worth $197k + dividends.
However, $1,000 in the 1940's isn't the same
buying power today.
A $1,000 investment back then would be $16,894.64
in 2016 due to an annual inflation of around 4%.
My great grandma, June wasn't an investor, she was
a hoarder.
While cleaning her house after she passed, we
found a small amount of money hidden in odd spots.
In one place, we found $10,000 stashed in a pocket
of an old sweater, which was buried under years of
other clothes that she accumulated.
She would rather stash her money even though it
depreciated and also risk losing it all in a house
fire.
That is how most approach investing.
They stash it away or give it to someone else to
deal with it.
Baby boomers who are trying to retire now are now
seeing that was a huge mistake.
They lost money and are behind because inflation.
Having that much money to invest into one stock
was very unlikely during the war.
If you did, it's very tough to hold onto the stock
that long.
You don't have control of the company, board or
direction.
You're just along for the ride.
There have been many companies that have come and
gone during that span as well.
You can't bank on picking the right stock and
holding onto it as a reliable investment approach.
The world has changed and to succeed we need to
change the way we think and invest.
The days of just working hard until you retire and
then you would have a pension, savings and the
government don't work anymore.
There isn't income or job security anymore in this
globalized world.
That is why I share different ways of doing things
with different opportunities.
That is why I encourage you to learn about the
different solutions out there; that are
non-traditional because we don't live in that type
of world anymore.
While things have changed, there are ways to pivot
and take advantage of these changes.
We have to take charge of our future now and take
the bull by its horns.
When a door shuts, a window opens.
There're some exceptional business and investment
opportunities that still allow you to create a
better life.
One of those opportunities I've benefited from and
stand by involves Amazon.
It allows you to have more upside return without
the stock market risk and more control.
It's simple to implement and get started because I
lay everything step-by-step for you.
If you're ready to expand your thinking and open
minded to different opportunities to create more
freedom and options for yourself.
I invite you to join me for this free presentation
where I will share everything in more detail about
this opportunity.

Many experts thought Japan would curb their
monetary stimulus program, but they decided early
this morning to approve $130 billion fiscal.
All this helicopter money should concern you
because I'm very concerned.
With markets just right off all-time highs and
with every extended bull run in the books, buying
anything in the market right now I believe is too
risky.
Many are not comfortable with shorting as I am or
are seeking other types of investment
opportunities.
That's why I've been talking about how to create a
passive income stream from Amazon lately.
Remember the financial crisis?
What company thrived during that time?
Amazon did because people still need their toilet
paper, TVs, etc.
Right now, you can get in on the ground floor by
partnering with Amazon with selling private
labelled physical products; which is paying out
HUGE DIVIDENDS for those getting involved.
It's just like buying a stock, buy low and sell
higher.
When partnering with Amazon, they take care of the
inventory, advertising, customers, shopping cart
and shipping.
You just collect the paychecks.
I believe if you desire real freedom from money,
the quickest and easiest way to get there is to
have several different income streams.
I wouldn't be sharing this with you if I didn't
have experience or skin in the game.
I got involved with Amazon three years ago that
generated passive income, and I just sold my the
asset to another investor in June.
Now that I retired, I want to show you exactly how
I did it.
If you asked me what I thought the best
opportunity right now that could outperform the
market with only $10,000?
I would tell you about this Amazon opportunity.
If you're under $25,000, you're at a disadvantage
because of the pattern day trader rule.
The system is one of the easiest methods I've seen
to do that because all the guess work and major
roadblocks are eliminated.
It's changing many lives of people who struggled
and failed at trading, real estate or tried other
types of businesses.
If you're interested in learning how to overcome
your biggest roadblock to creating wealth, become
your own boss and create a stream of passive
income; I have a free training that can solve that
for you.

If I told you that I generated a 1200% ROI, you'd
be skeptical...
And you should, I would be as well.
For some, though, it makes their buttholes pucker
up.
However, It's unlikely you will achieve those same
results if you invest into the same opportunity I
did.
Because you're right, I'm not you.
You could do worse or even better, but even doing
worse isn't too bad.
I was lucky, who knows.
However, I can talk the talk because I've walked
the walk.
That's important to you, right?
We are all different.
I hate posting numbers publicly because it
doesn't matter.
You can't spend my money nor can I spend yours.
I'm happy if you do better than me, that's my
goal.
It's not a who's d*ck is the bigger contest.
There's always going to be someone better than us
or further down the road.
We can't control that, but we can control our
journey and enjoy it.
Stay in your lane and focus on what we can do with
our resources.
Once you let your ego get too large, that is when
you lose discipline.
You got keep moving and taking advantage of
opportunities when they do come.
If you're interested in hearing about this 1200%
return with creating a passive income stream by
leveraging Amazon and not owning any shares,
trading an option or buying any of its corporate
debt.
Then you're going to want to register a spot for
this free training session, which will show you
exactly how I did that.

This might be a shocker, but they don't rely
solely on the stock market.
They usually have a stake in other businesses,
real estate, etc.
Having a skill set or business outside of trading
that can help generate income is a must in my
view.
Having a valuable skill set or something creating
side income will take a tremendous amount of
pressure off you when you're going through that
learning curve of trading options.
Not only that, but it brings balance into your
life.
I know for me, it helps with getting in the right
mind frame when I'm a position goes against me.
I approach trading options as a business with the
goal of making money.
However, every day isn't going to be profitable.
Sometimes, markets will be slow; sometimes you'll
experience drawdowns.
You will lose and be humbled. That's life!
I believe one of the best ways to stay consistent
in the markets is to eliminate the fear of having
to make money consistently from the markets to put
food the table.
You want to avoid being at the mercy of the
financial markets.
As Warren Buffet has says, "Mr. Market Is A
'Drunken Psycho'."
Being able to generate other streams of income
will help you in so many aspects of your life as
well as your trading.
You will be more disciplined and not stressed when
things don't go your way.
There are ways many can do this.
One way is real estate.
For instance, you can buy a family duplex or a
home in a college town and collect the rent
checks.
That is what my friend Kirk over at OptionAlpha
and his wife do.
However, you need a lot of capital tied up to do
that.
One thing I love about the financial markets is
that I'm in control with everything at a click of
a button.
I have zero experience in real estate. I rent
because I have no interest in real estate, I just
see it too much of a hassle.
I invest into other things such as digital
properties.
I think that is the new real estate.
In fact, I know fund managers who diversify
outside the market with investing into digital
properties which provide passive income.
That is kind or how I stumbled into this
opportunity.
You may not believe it, but with few thousand, you
can conservatively start a stream of passive
income and generate a better return than anything
in the market with little risk.
It involves a company who's stock is up a
mind-boggling 20,000% since going public on May
15, 1997.
That means for every $5,000 invested it would
total into nearly $1 million today.
While that sounds great, there's no way you would
have held this stock for two decades.
There's too much risk doing that.
However, people are able to take that same $5,000
investment today and possibly create a 100% return
in just one year.
The company is Amazon, and all you have to do is
partner with them, which means you don't have to
own it's shares to profit from it tremendous
upside growth.
This is an alternative opportunity outside trading
options, but if you like opportunities to make
money, then I created a piece of free training
that I teach you exactly about this opportunity,
how I took a $1,000 investment that returned
$12,427.24 that same year and how you can get
started today.
I share my results and how I can help you achieve
them so you can create an alternative stream of
income right away.
This is a long presentation so make sure you're
ready with a pen and paper because there will be
solid, step-by-step content delivered that you can
start using right away.
