Options trading gets a bad rap, especially among conservative investors. Too often it’s seen as gambling – and too speculative for hard-earned money.
I never understood this reputation. Mainly because my first introduction to options trading was early in my investment career, when I began working with Jeff Clark of Omnia Research.
Many in the investment newsletter space are aware of Jeff. If you aren’t, he’s something of an anomaly. He insists on using options as a tool to reduce risk – as he points out, this was their original function – rather than the risky leverage machine that most traders see them as. He shows that you can make more money this way, too.
Our paths diverged a few years back, but after his recent move to Florida, I knew we had to catch up. And I found it a perfect opportunity to introduce his expertise to you.
Check out our interview below and learn the key technical setup he’s trading right now that led to multiple 50% winners on the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), and the ProShares Short Bitcoin ETF (BITI) in a matter of days.
If you’re interested in learning more about Jeff’s method even if you aren’t experienced trading options, check out this brand-new presentation.
There Jeff talks more about the pattern he demonstrated in today’s interview and why it’s so important to use during what he sees as a volatile market to come.
To your health and wealth,
