Profit Power Seminar Agenda
We Make Options Easy!
- WHAT WORKED. WHAT DIDN'T:
- After 15 years of teaching the public via live seminars, our systems got the ultimate "stress test" in 2008. It's time to take a look at how the
different systems performed.
- WHAT WORKED:
- Market Volatility based allocation approach
- We started testing this idea internally in 2007 after the Bear Stearns hedge funds imploded in July of that year. We made this a part of our ODDS Safe Options Alert service and introduced the concept at the Las Vegas 2008 seminar. We also use this in our new ODDS Profit Hedge.
- Six-Number System
- Introduced over 10 years ago
- For a "leveraged, long only" market system, this method did incredibly well. Approaching a new all-time high!
- Deep in-the-money covered calls
- Introduced to the public at Las Vegas 2008
- Naked put sales
- New! Part of our ODDS Profit Hedge
- Index credit spreads
- Index credit spreads have been a part of what we do since 1994.
- WHAT NEEDS WORK:
- Credit spreads on individual stocks that did not have proper allocation and diversification
Did awful if you didn't have a plan that included allocation and diversification. If you did diversify and allocate correctly, these trades performed okay.
- Home Run Trade
- After more than a decade of incredible performance, this system's last two trades lost money.
- Momentum System
- Needs work. It's beating the market so far this year, and had a profitable year in 2010 and 2009. But it had a devastating 2nd half of 2008. Early research indicates that more frequent switching could dramatically reduce risk.
- WHAT DIDN'T WORK:
- Dogs of the Dow
- Hammered last year when collapsing companies paid high dividends, even when they were on the verge of collapsing.
- Advance/Decline
- Penny pricing has made this system unworkable..
