Stock Option Trading

Stop losing on your stock option trading today -- by learning about the truth experts don't tell you:

Stocks beats options

Stock option trading impacts investors' investment return like never before.  Stock option trading offers you, the individual investors, the riskiest yet potentially very profitable investment system. 

So yes ... you can make money -- in fact a lot of money through stock option trading. 

But the other side of the claim is also true -- you could lose a lot of money.

In summary, what stock option trading can do for you ... I'll show you that you can do the same with just stocks -- and with much less risk.

 

 

You can be profitable over 90% of the time, and still go bankrupt

Stock option trading WILL destroy your investment if you do not practice moderation.

You can be right over 90% of time, and still have a losing investment system.  You can make 100% on nine trades and then go bankrupt on the tenth trade.  Yet, you are still 90% accurate.

Consider the following scenario:

You invest your money in five sequential positions one after another.  One case you are investing normally in stocks.  The other case you are investing through stock option trading hoping for eye-popping returns.

Here's what happens:

  Stock Option Trading Stock Investment
First Position 50% return 10% return
Second Position 100% return 20% return
Third Position 25% return 5% return
Fourth Position 75% return 15% return
Fifth Position 95% loss 20% loss

Take a look at most stock option traders' track record, you will probably see a very similar pattern.  Take a look at any of the stock option trading newsletter services, their track record will also be very similar.

 

"Gurus" lost it all, on a regular basis while claiming 15% average profits every trade

So after four consecutive stock option trading, you have attained a whopping 556% return -- by re-investing your profit like all the gurus said on their "salesletter." Whereas, your stock investment only returned a measly 59% return. 

However, after the fifth stock option trade, we lost 95%.  This is very likely in stock option trading -- experienced trader have quite a few of this periodically in their track record, too.

The "gurus", in fact, have many more catastrophic losses in their "options" newsletter then normal.  This is a logical side effect because they are always striving to find next "super" options play.

I know because -- as newsletter publishers, we monitor other newsletters' trades to know how others are performing.

So the fifth trade sets us back to a measly 32.8% return -- while our stock investment returned 27.5%.

However, considering the risk-to-reward ratio, our stock investment is a 5 times better investment.

 

Stocks beat options

Now consider this scenario:

To limit catastrophic loss on your portfolio, some "options newsletters" ask their subscribers to use portfolio allocation. 

Portfolio allocation minimizes losses while dampening profitability by not investing more than x% on any position.

1% on any options position is a widely used proportion -- while 5-10% is used for conventional stocks.

Let's think this now carefully ...

With a ten times smaller allocation size for stock options, your overall return affected by any one of your option position is also ten times smaller!

Your options need to consistently beat stock investment by ten times to at least match profitability side of stock investment.

For a 20% return on one stock, you need 200% for one option.

For a 40% return on another stock, you 400% for another option.

Whereas a trailing stop can be used to very consistently stop your stock losses at 20%, your options are very likely to lose over 90% in just one day.

When you put the risk side of the investment into consideration, then you need 50 times better return than stock investments.  So... Let's finish with a question...

Why do you think there is no one on the any of the "rich people" list who obtained their wealth through stock option trading?
