Tues. 5/28 MSFT minutes before close is at $35: You sell your 14 shs @ $35: Gain $14 (3%).
I sell 6 Call option contracts @ $1.35 each: Gain $360 (80%).
Risking approx. the same amount of $, and even though the stock gained $1 vs. the option gain of $.60, the Options made $346 MORE than the stock investment. Why? Because the Options traded the equivalent of 600 shs vs. the 14 shs you bought.
NOTE: If MSFT gained 5% EVERY month, it would take you approx. 12 months to make the extra $346 the option made in 3 days. (MSFT gained 10+% the 12 months between 7/'12 - 06/'13).
REASON TO BUY BOOK: Risk of $500 = PROFIT of $360 in 2 days.
LIMITED RISK - UNLIMITED PROFIT POTENTIAL!
This book on Stock Option Trading, was written at the urging of people I had tutored on how to make quick profits in the stock market while risking very little money. This book is based on a lot of the material I use to tutor. Which should explain the arrangement & simplicity of the material presented.
The most common response I get from people as they learn about trading stock options is disbelief. They are surprised to learn of the profit making opportunity stock options offers the small investor. They are also surprised to find out while YES, there are inherent risks involved in options, just as there are risks in stocks, by employing the S.I.O.T. method, they can limit the risk.
In Chapter #12 you will find a worksheet for 1 week of trading starting with just $500. A total of nine (9) trades (8 gains; 1 loss) were executed from Mon. through Fri. The stock prices are included so you can compare them to the gain/loss of the options. Even though by Tuesday larger amounts could have been Risked on a single trade, the highest Risk was $333. Also notice there was no trade for Thursday. RESULT: a total profit of a little more than $2100.
The S.I.O.T. method will also work for "swing" and "buy and hold" traders for both options and stocks (glossary included). Remember: using this method you can make money when stocks go UP OR DOWN!
Take the opportunity to read this book. Then, "paper trade" for a couple of weeks BEFORE you open an account with a Discount Broker. There are sites with FREE stock and option quotes, and charts you can read. Practice the S.I.O.T. method. This could very well be a way to supplement, or even replace your income.
REMEMBER: opportunity may knock, but you have to get up and open the door. I did, so can you. shawninspired@gmail.com
