Option Pundit Experience

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had experience with the paid newsletter from Option Pundit? The results sound very good but the writing on the site seems off somehow and they want $50 to be put on the wait list to pay to subscribe

Looks fishy to me, why have a waiting list on a newsletter? It's not like there is a shortage where they can't meet the demand. Unless of course, they call it a wait list to A) get more money, and B) stir up demand, make them look more promising.

 

If you want to trade options, my advice is simple. Don't do it. If you must, make sure you are ready to understand the math behind it, don't be another fool following 100% gains overnight, you need to understand why it happens. Pick up some decent books (not the "get rich with options" garbage), and learn on your own - and find ppl who are successful and ask them questions if they let you.

 

If you have nowhere to start, then try think or swim, they have decent tutorials and a free demo.

I agree with James..... options trading is hard work to learn, and a lot of the time the only reason the high returns are quoted is due to the extra leverage. they dont tell you about the time decay aspect of it.

Its worth doing if you put in the hard work, however..... think about this. There are plenty of brokers who will tell you to short options - "collect the time decay", and then there are others who will say to buy options - "leverage yourself into the big moves, makes 1000's%"

Until you understand how both of these players can be right and make money at the same time, then I would suggest you be care full of options brokers systems.

 

Plus a waiting list to subscribe - please if they make so much money from their systems this is the one area you dont want people coming to spoil the party as they will reduce the liquidity of the options they want to buy- sounds like Bernie Maddoff - no, no no..... OK if you insist, and its just because I like you..... doh!

Options are a real b*tch to learn and get ahold of. I'll never forget my last option trade - bought a call on Boyd Gaming (which means you are bullish on the stock), the stock went up nicely and my call lost a ton of money.

 

:doh:

 

Trading is very difficult as it is, but when you can be bullish on a stock buy a bullish instrument and lose b/c of implied volatility and all that other rubbish, that will turn you off quickly.

 

I like to know that if I think something is going up, I go long and it goes up that I will make money.

 

Options trading is very difficult IMO.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
