Potential Profits You'll Be Truly Thankful For
Dear Startup Investor,

Today, I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving from the bottom of my heart. This is a day to take stock of all the things we're grateful for, and this year, I am grateful for you.

Since The Startup Investor launched five months ago, we've grown from a tight-knit group into a huge family of investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators. We've been right at the forefront of some of Silicon Valley's most pivotal moments in history. And a great many of you took the leap and made your first-ever private equity investments. Here's to you!

But while we're all flying high, I think it's important to talk about the other side of the coin: the risk of losing it all.

Angel investing has a reputation for risk - in fact, roughly 50% of startups fail completely. So it should come as no surprise that many inexperienced angels end up broke. That's part of the reason we launched The Startup Investor - to help new investors learn the right strategies to minimize risk.

Personally, I've been pretty lucky when it comes to my track record. Sure, I made a couple of hasty investment decisions that cost me money... but overall, I've stayed comfortably in the green.

But my buddy Andrew Keene had to learn about risk the hard way. He lost nearly everything, practically overnight, all because he got cocky and lost his way.

Andrew isn't an angel investor. He trades options. But his story is still worth hearing, because it teaches an important lesson about recovering from loss.

Andrew learned how to trade on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange. He was an absolute natural, pulling in more money than he knew what to do with. He was just a young guy at the time, but he got a taste of the good life - weekends at resorts, Michelin-starred restaurants, the works.

Then his luck changed. One bad pick turned into ten, and suddenly, he was losing $500,000 on a single trade. It got so bad that he had to stop trading altogether - he was afraid that if he kept going, he'd run out of money completely.

Andrew felt completely lost. He had always been a successful trader. What went wrong? How did he lose his touch? He decided to take a trip to a Buddhist monastery in Thailand to get to the bottom of things.

He was hoping to make a personal breakthrough in Thailand. What he actually got was so much better.

Andrew discovered a new way of trading on his travels. It was so simple - so obvious - and yet he didn't know a single person back home who used it. But Andrew saw the power in this system, and he knew that he had found something truly unique.

He believed in it so much that he put his last $100,000 into a trading account. Two years later, that account was worth $5 million - and that was just the beginning.

Today, Andrew spends more time enjoying life than he spends working. He works 1 hour a day, 4 days a week. And he's trading better than ever before; he's booked 100%, 200%, even 500% gains on single trades.

Last week, Andrew hosted the Transform Your Life Summit in Philadelphia, PA. Let me tell you... I've never seen anything like it. Hundreds of cheering people lined up to fill an enormous auditorium, all to hear Andrew speak about his super-successful trading strategy. And thousands of people tuned in online.

Luckily, Andrew and his team thought ahead. They recorded the Summit from start to finish - and they're rebroadcasting it online right now. Just click here to check it out.

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving weekend.

Until next time,

Neil
