Dear Trader, 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 using the trades I recommend in Weekly Options Countdown. 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: 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: LAST CALL TO SAVE 92% AND GET OUR NEW YEAR, NEW PROFITS SALE Weekly Options Countdown is regularly $1,495 for one year of trades.
