What 'Buy and Scold' Investors Don't Get (PLUS Last Chance to Save 80%)

I have to get this off my chest.

It's Bernie again.

Have you noticed how some investing "gurus" love telling you what to do with your money?

I've always wondered how these people can be so sure of themselves when they don't know anything about you.

They don't know your age, your net worth, your risk tolerance...

... and they certainly don't know your income needs or what level of investing skill you have.

The biggest culprit - in my opinion - is the buy-and-hold crowd.

Or as we call them around the office, the "buy and scolders."

"Never trade short term -- you'll get killed," they tell you.

"Just buy quality stocks, or better yet an index fund, and forget about it for a few decades."

Great advice for someone in their 20s or 30s.

... someone with enough time to compound small gains into a decent chunk of change over a few decades.

But here's something to think about:

Remember Xerox?

Or Kodak?

A while back, these were the Googles and Amazons of their day.

Fast growing stocks that all the investment gurus were telling us to "buy and forget."

And what happened to them?

They are still around but -- let's put it this way -- when was the last time you bought a roll of Kodak film?

Investors who bought Kodak stock and "forgot" about it were wiped out when the company went bankrupt in 2013.

Even Warren Buffett who famously said his favorite holding period is "forever" was once an active trader.

That's right.

When he was managing much smaller sums than now, he had more trading choices because he didn't need to invest billions to move the needle.

In Buffett's early days, he wouldn't think twice to dump his holdings to grab a better opportunity he found in the market.

Now, maybe you think I'm about to tell you the index fund crowd is wrong, and you should put all of your money into options?

Of course not.

Because here is an obvious truth that the buy and scolders don't seem to get:

Here comes the dramatic reveal...

I am a buy and holder too.

* GASP *

Yes, I'm an options guy at heart.

I invest much of my own money in options expiration trades.

But I also have a big chunk of my portfolio in some quality companies around that I would be happy to hold forever.

What's more, I also own real estate and invest some money with my friends who have their own hedge funds.

That's right.

Unlike the one-size-fits-all folks, I believe in diversification - across stocks, asset classes, AND trading strategies.

But if you thought that was controversial, buckle up.

Because I'm about to say something that will really get the buy and holders angry:

There, I said it.

I enjoy trading options.

I enjoy making my own decisions about my money.

I enjoy testing my skills against the automated trading bots, the Robinhood kids, and the super smart hedge fund quants.

And, most of all, I enjoy scoring huge, fast gains for me and subscribers of Weekly Options Countdown.

It feels fantastic to wake up, check the markets, and see that my trades have scored gains like this:

 

Security

Return

Holding Period

(trading days)

AMD Inc. Calls

74.12%

5 days

Las Vegas Sands Puts

101.92%

5 days

Fastly Inc. Calls

1 day

DraftKings Inc. Calls

100%

3 days

Beyond Meat Calls

200%

2 days

Yum! Brands Puts

-90.32%

4 days

 

That's a blended return of 81% in a week!

Compare that to the S&P 500 annual return of 10-11% and you'll see why I have no problem saying "no thanks" to the buy and scolders.

Now, like I said above, I don't know anything about you.

I don't know your age, your financial position, risk tolerance, or if you enjoy trading and managing your own money.

I don't give out personalized investment advice.

What I can say is, if you are looking for an investment strategy that you never have to touch, Weekly Options Countdown is not a good fit for you.

But if you are looking for a slightly more aggressive, slightly more hands on, and much more fun way to invest, this is your:

Weekly Options Countdown is regularly $1,495 for one year of trades.

But when you sign up now you're not going to pay anywhere near that.

You're going to get our 80% off Black Friday deal and pay just $295.

PLUS we are going to upgrade your subscription to LIFETIME STATUS FOR FREE.

This means that you will get month after month of trades sent to your email inbox on autopilot - FOR LIFE.

That's 80% off the regular price plus a LIFETIME upgrade at no cost.

When you click this link below, you will land on the Weekly Options Countdown checkout page.

Just enter your payment details, check out, and you will immediately get your trades via email.

I look forward to toasting your first big winners on Friday.

Dear Trader,

In a moment I'm going to unlock the most generous Black Friday deal we've ever offered.

But first, a true story:

Just a few days back, a trade sent to subscribers of Weekly Options Countdown turned an initial investment of $639 into $1,917.

...in two days.

Here's how it went down:

On Monday September 28, our subscribers opened their email.

After reading Bernie's trades, they logged into their brokerage and bought call options on Beyond Meat.

The whole process took about 4 minutes.

At the time, each option contract was trading for $639.

By Wednesday September 30, the price of the underlying stock had moved from $151.30 a share to $166.24, just under a 10% gain.

But - because each contract allows you to control 100 shares of the underlying stock - this small move caused the options to TRIPLE in value.

At this point, our readers had closed out their positions for $1,917.

Of course, the gains were even bigger if they had sized up the trade.

Three contracts would be a profit of $3,834.

Seven contracts would be a profit of $8,946.

All in just two days.

And that was just one trade.

Each month, on the Sunday before the first Friday's options expiration, our Weekly Options Countdown subscribers get 6 trades.

How have these other recent trades done?

I know returns like this seem crazy.

Maybe even impossible.

But read on, because I am going to explain exactly how it works...

And by the way, Happy Thanksgiving :)

This is Katie Schaeffer.

I'm the COO of Schaeffer's Investment Research.

My job is to connect you with trades that can skyrocket your investing wins.

We do this using an unusual strategy Bernie Schaeffer has developed in his 40 years trading options.

And when you grab our special Black Friday Earlybird Offer (see below), you will get access to our profit-packed trades for pennies on the dollar.

PLUS we are going to include a special upgrade that we may never offer again.

I will get to all that in a moment.

But first, let me explain exactly:

HOW TO EXPLOIT A "COMPUTER BUG" IN THE OPTIONS MARKET
TO MAKE 2-3X YOUR MONEY IN 5 DAYS OR LESS

If you're on our email list, you probably already know how options work.

So I'm going to skip ahead some.

Our system is based on exploiting a loophole that is "hard-wired" into the options market. Let me explain:

Options trading is highly computerized.

When you trade options, the person on the other end is most likely not a person at all.

It's probably a computer.

... this computer runs a formula to calculate the "correct" price for each contract.

The equation (known as Black-Scholes) is PhD-level stuff.

But for our purposes, all we need to know is this:

These options-trading robots run my making assumptions.

One thing they assume is that less time left for the underlying share price to move means less chance for volatility.

This causes prices to drop as we get near options expiry.

But here's the catch...

What these computer models do not (and cannot) predict
is a sudden spike in volatility in the days before options expiry.

This can be caused by an unexpected event:

... like surprise COVID-19 news

... or a shock election lawsuit

... or a sudden military conflict

In short, any of the "black swan" events that are happening like clockwork in 2020!

And here is where it gets really good.

When one of these events happens and a volatility jump occurs near options expiration, you have a chance to score huge, quick wins.

This is because you can scoop up expiring options "on sale" -- often for pennies on the dollar.

Then - when volatility spikes - you can flip them back into the market for a quick 2X, 3X profit -- or more.

What this means is that the topsy-turvy news cycle of 2020 is giving human traders an even bigger edge over the computerized bots.

Which allows us to beat the pants off their models and formulas!

This strategy has two other benefits:

First, you are only "in the market" for a handful of days each month -- usually less than four.

The rest of the time, you are sitting comfortably in cash - immune to the wild swings of Mr. Market.

Second, this strategy uses no leverage or margin trading whatsoever.

We're only doing plain vanilla buys of puts and calls.

This means you can never lose more than the premium you invest to buy each contract.

Your downside is capped, but you still enjoy the unlimited upside that comes from owning call options.

Heads, you score eye-popping 2x or 3x gains.

Tails, you don't lose much.

Without any further ado, I'd like to introduce our Black Friday Earlybird sale where you can:

GRAB OUR BEST DEAL EVER
ON A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF ROCKET-FUEL OPTIONS TRADES

On the Sunday before the first Friday of each month, we send out six trades to our Weekly Options Countdown subscribers.

These are simple buys of puts and calls.

No straddles, collars, iron butterflies, or any other fancy stuff that you need a PhD in finance to figure out.

No margin is needed.

Each trade comes with:

  • Entry Price Points: so you won't overpay by a single cent
  • Exact Sell Instructions: so you never have to agonize over when to exit your trade
  • Up to 200% Profit Target Per Trade: We're targeting quick wins here, not long term plays.
  • Sub 5-Day Holding Period: So you never stay exposed to the market a moment longer than necessary
  • Charts & Analysis: So you can get in Bernie's head and understand the logic behind each trade

Researching each one of these trades takes the team dozens or hundreds of hours.

We pick through thousands of possible trade ideas each month.

Doing technical analysis, calculating the "Greeks" for each position (Delta, Gamma, Theta, and so on)

And we're constantly scanning the news for "black swans" that the computer models are incapable of predicting.

...these are the "X-factor" volatility events that can send each trade soaring.

And we do that for six trades each month of the year.

Given the extreme profit potential, and the fact that you get six of these trades each month, we think $1,495 per year is an extremely fair price for Weekly Options Countdown.

This is the price that regular visitors to our website pay for the service.

...but this is not an ordinary week.

We are heading into Black Friday.

That's why I've convinced Bernie to green-light our most generous offer yet on Weekly Options Countdown.

Like I said, the normal price is $1,495 per year.

And we've already seen how you could have scored $1,917 from a single trade over two days last month.

But when you click the link below, you will lock in your subscription for a single payment of $295.

PLUS - we are going to upgrade your subscription to LIFETIME STATUS.

That means your subscription will never expire.

We've already seen how a single winning trade can pay for your subscription many times over.

But, when you sign up now, you will get a never-ending stream of these trades (six per month) each targeting 2X-3X gains.

For life.

On autopilot.

You will never be billed again for this product, and your subscription will never expire.

When you click on the big orange button below, you will go to our order page to make your one-time payment.

Act Now!

The only catch is you need to act now to get this deal.

We may never offer this again and there are just a few short days until your trades go out.

It can take a bit of time to get your trading account set up, especially if you haven't traded options before.

So stop what you are doing now, click this link, and check out on our order page.

When you make your one-time-only payment of $295, we will rush you your first six trades as soon as they are released on Sunday, November 29.

Once you're all set up, you will receive your steady stream of Bernie's best options trades, each month, for life!

Wishing you and yours a safe and restful Thanksgiving, and I look forward to seeing you inside.

Cheers,

Katie Schaeffer

Although there is significant profit potential associated with buying options, there is also the risk of losing one's entire investment in any individual trade. In any option buying approach, it is expected that losing trades will be more numerous than winning trades. The goal is for the average gain to be significantly greater than the average loss so that the bottom line is profitable. Prior to purchase, ensure that you have a broker that allows the trading of options and that you are approved to trade options.
