Dear Reader, In the 1980s, I got my start in the trading pits of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). It’s the largest U.S. options exchange. And I’ve been trading options ever since. Here’s what I can tell you: options are a dream come true for everyday folks… Especially in a crazy market. Because they work whether stocks go up or down. All it takes is a small stock move — in either direction — for you to potentially see a huge winner. Take one of my plays from last year… On November 1, I recommended an options trade. Over the next month, the underlying stock soared as high as 18%. But guess what? The option delivered 300% — in just 4 days. My readers had the chance to make 16 times more money — in a fraction of the time. And that’s not an extreme example. In another trade, I issued earlier this year…. The underlying stock fell 5%. But my option recommendation delivered 120% -- in just 9 days. That’s the power of options. They create a “multiplier effect.” If you’re interested in learning how to multiply your money, watch my debut video here. Happy Trading, Larry Benedict Editor, Opportunistic Trader |
