Many experts, including Zacks strategist Kevin Matras, are forecasting a sideways market. And the truth is that if you want to make real money in this kind of market, you can't just trade stocks in the traditional sense. You have to think differently. Zacks strategist Kevin Matras will show you how we blended some well-known trading techniques with some other little-known techniques that helped him nearly double the S&P with an overall gain of +58.67% over the last 25 months. Please read below to find out why now is a perfect time to join him. |
Current economic reports are creating more questions than answers. But, today's uncertainty actually presents an exciting opportunity to make money.Fellow Investor,
Even during today's uncertainty, you have an opportunity to make money . . .
. . . whether the market goes up, down, or sideways.
. . . with strategies to profit even when you're wrong about the direction of a stock
. . . and all with far fewer dollars at risk than with an ordinary stock purchase.
But you're going to have to think beyond the just the traditional ways of trading stocks.
So today, I'm going to tell you how you can make money in this kind of market. And as you might have guessed, I'm talking about options trading, but not the way most investors are doing it.
This form of investing has continued to boom. Through good times and bad, the number of option trades set all-time records in 17 of the last 18 years. In fact, more than 3.9 billion contracts were written in 2010.
And here's a big reason why options trading is so enticing: would you rather have $10,000 at risk in the stock market, or instead commit $1,000 for almost the exactly same potential gain?
Those who know exactly what to do are winning consistently and substantially. For example, since we first offered our options service February, 2010, it has nearly doubled the market with an overall gain of +58.67%.
But most investors don't know what to do. In fact, most lose on options trades.
Two Fatal Flaws
Most buy options on the cheap and out-of-the money. First, they wrongly jump in too close to the time they are about to expire. And they pick out-of-the-money options which have a lower probability of success.
Secondly, and even worse, they compound their mistake by focusing on the wrong companies.
That's the worst of all worlds. And if the big price move they expected never happens, their options then expire worthless.
All options traders need to learn how to avoid these killers.
Introducing our Zacks Options Trader -- the service that does it differently
Let me share the secret of how we get on the winning side of trades that others lose: We're flexible but methodological. While we don't win on all of them, we scan hundreds of stocks and even more options every day to find the best opportunities. We use proven money-making techniques that most investors never heard of.
Specifically, we start with the Zacks Rank system that focuses on earnings estimate revisions and has averaged +26% per year since records started being kept in 1988.
Then we dig through my own private stock screens that have averaged yearly gains of up to +50% and +60% since 2000.
Only then, do we search for the best optionable stocks and further scan them for timing qualities and favorable pricing.
That's how we nearly doubled the market with a +58.67% overall gain. Here are just a few of the recent winning moves closed out by our members:
$552 gain in 4-1/2 months on IAC Interactive Corp.
$674 gain in a little more than 2 months on KB Home.
$540 gain in just over 3 months on Ulta Salon Cosmetics and Fragrance.
$427 gain in 4 weeks on Las Vegas Sands Corp.
$604 gain in just 8 days on UltraShort S&P ETF.
$1,030 gain in just 2-1/2 months on United Health.
$325 gain in just 4 weeks on Avalon Bay.
Join us and, each day, you'll receive a private email that makes it easy to stay on top of the most powerful options opportunities. You'll be briefed on:
What options to buy or sell.
When to make your moves.
Why I'm recommending them.
Here's how we make money. . .

PROFIT FROM STOCKS GOING HIGHER Think a stock's going higher? Buy a call and make money as it rises. Buy the "right" ones and make even more. For example, you could have ridden Amazon's earnings bonanza from April 26 to April 27, 2012 at a fraction of the conventional cost and risk. Which is a better way to gain $2,500 in just two days time? Would you rather put up $19,500 by buying the stock? Or just $990 by buying the call? Here's the best part: Let's say you were in the actual stock and Amazon had negatively surprised and gone down -15%. Your loss would have been less than HALF what it would have been if you had purchased the stock directly. Even if the stock plunged to zero, you could never lose more than what you paid for the option. |

MAKE MONEY WHEN STOCKS GO DOWN We can also make money when the market goes down. Buying puts is a great way to profit as the market falls without having to short a stock. And just like a call, your risk is limited to what you put in. For example, Tempur-Pedic International dropped more than $17 in just one day's time. That was over a -20% drop in one afternoon after they recently reported earnings in April. So, you could have risked over $8,300 to short 100 shares. Or you could have used less than $800 to buy a Put option. Either way, your profit would have been substantial. But you'd have slept a lot better holding the option instead. |

COLLECT AUTOMATIC PREMIUMS Here's a strategy to make money if the market goes up, sideways and even down (to a limited extent). It's a way to potentially own a stock at a cheaper price and get paid while you wait. Another way to look at it is that you can make money even when you're wrong! For example, Apple (AAPL) went down nearly -16% between December 3, 2008 and April 17, 2009. Yet its option remained profitable virtually every day after it was written. During that time, using an options premium collection strategy, I actually gained +98.7% on AAPL. All with less money and less risk than if I had gotten into the stock itself. Meanwhile, of course, those who invested directly in the stock were down nearly -16% when it reached its low point. |
The best news is that you can do this again and again in the months to come.

Earnings Season Bonus
I told you earlier that a "fatal flaw" is buying options too close to expiration. But I also said we'd be flexible. Let me share another Zacks Rank-based technique that we'll bring into play. In certain circumstances, just before a company's earnings report is released, we'll buy an option to take advantage of the expected sudden movement. Sometimes we'll even do this when the option is near expiration. You'll have a chance to make money regardless of what a company reports. This is another secret weapon that we'll be privately sharing with our members. |
These are significant advantages, and I don't want you to miss them because you hesitated.
