Why Options Are the Fastest Route to Huge Profits – Introduction

Welcome aboard and thanks for signing up to receive my new series, “Why Options Are the Fastest Route to Huge Profits.” My name is Chris Rowe, Chief Investment Officer of The Trend Rider. Please take a moment to add crowe@thetrendrider.com to your address book to ensure that you won't miss a single lesson.

I’m going to be your guide throughout this series on options trading. Since this series is only open to readers of The Tycoon Report, chances are you’ve signed up for it after reading an article of mine or after hearing about the incredible profit opportunities there are in trading options.

Whichever way you came to us, before this series begins I wanted to explain to you that regardless of what you may have heard elsewhere, making money trading options is not easy. That’s the bad news.

The good news is that it doesn’t require a 200 I.Q. (lucky for me) or any unique mathematical ability (again, lucky for me). Becoming a successful options trader requires two things and two things only: A solid understanding of options basics, and a solid understanding of options strategy.

And the goal of this series is to give you a healthy dose of both. This way, you’ll be equipped to make sound decisions when trading options, and to enjoy making the money that comes along with that.

But before we jump in, I have to quickly mention a couple of “house cleaning” items to ensure that you get the most out of this series:

1. Email Delivery: This entire series contains a total of seven email notifications, delivered to you over an 10-day period. To ensure that you get each email, please take a moment right now to add crowe@thetrendrider.com to your “approved senders” list. If you don’t, there is a risk that your email provider could place us in the “junk” folder or, even worse, block my emails entirely. 

If you have an email account with AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Earthlink, Hotmail, Gmail or Microsoft Outlook, click here for special instructions on how to do this.

2. Adobe Reader: Some of the material that you’ll receive as part of this series will require Adobe Reader to view (PDFs). Adobe Reader is free to download and use. For special instructions on using Adobe Reader, as well as the link to download it for free, click here.

3. Special Folder: For easy access, please feel free to create a special folder on your computer to save any communications you feel you’d like to hold onto for future reference material. (And I hereby waive my copyright protection for this material if you want to share this with any friends or children you have with a fascination for Wall Street and a love for investing!)

4. “Bypass” The Trend Rider Waiting List: If you read The Tycoon Report with any frequency, you probably know by now that my options trading service, The Trend Rider, is usually closed to new members. The reason we only accept 100 new members each month is to protect our existing members. Why? Because if we get too big, in some cases, we would artificially move the market with The Trend Rider’s option trades and diminish the profit margins for our existing members.

For example, if The Trend Rider accepted 5,000 new members, everyone would be forced to compete against each other to buy my option recommendations — and we’d be moving around a lot but not getting anywhere. Instead of taking 650% profits on Suncor Options, the “stampede effect” could have lowered our returns to 200% — or even lower.

After you complete this full series, though, you will be invited to join The Trend Rider, thus bypassing the waiting list. We figured that we might as well give priority on the 100 open membership positions each month for people like you, who’ve taken the time to learn what it is we do here at The Trend Rider!

5. “Educated Investor” Discount: Here at The Tycoon Report, we believe an educated investor is our best customer. That’s why, upon completion of this series, your invitation to join The Trend Rider will include a steep discount off the list price. Of course, you'll have to wait and see how steep the discount is … but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy I’ll make it for you to trade alongside me.

That’s all the house-cleaning issues I have for now. If I think of anything else I’ll let you know.

Your First Lesson
For your first lesson, look on the left column of this page for a list of lessons available to you right now. Those available lessons will have a blue link. Those yet not available, will be gray with no link.

I will send you an email each day that a new lesson is available. You will also be able to go back and read all past lessons as well. We do this because we want to make sure that you have plenty of time to absorb the material, which will make you a much better investor.

Warmest Regards & Enjoy the Series!

Chris Rowe
Chief Investment Officer,
