Individual Investors:
At the Mercy of Mr. Market

Had Enough Yet?

99% of all individual investors and traders have no actual advantage in the stock market.

In fact, it's even worse because they're at a serious disadvantage.

Wall Street is designed for the benefit of institutions, not individuals:

Most actively managed funds underperform the broader market in any given year
The managed money industry is compensated by how much money it manages rather than by how well it manages that money
Index investing is shotgun investing where you own miniscule pieces of everything - the good, the bad, and the ugly
If you reject this guaranteed mediocrity, you're on your own and left with two equally bad choices
Choice #1 - Become a true long term investor and take several decades to build real wealth
Choice #2 - Become a trader to accelerate the process and risk blowing up your portfolio

Bottom line - every conventional choice either takes too long, or doesn't work.

Value Investing with Options = You're in Control

Fifteen years ago, I asked myself an innocent but profound question:

"What happens if you combine the best qualities of long term investing and short term conservative option trading?"

The answer changed my life . . . and eventually led to this website.

Value Investing with Options means we can:

Acquire quality businesses at half price or less
Generate high yield income from low risk stocks
Rapidly accelerate our dividend income and dividend growth rates
Always make money
Consistently win at Mr. Market's expense

Determining When Mr. Market is Being Irrational + Multiple Reasons to Enter a Trade

This 6 page case study explores the no-brainer opportunity we had selling puts on DG back in 2017.

When Amazon announced they were acquiring Whole Foods, DG irrationally sold off. Why would a discount retailer of low quality staples be impacted by Amazon's acquisition of a premium organic grocer?!?

But that was just one factor that led us to enter the trade - check out the full case study to see the multiple reasons for selling puts on DG (and when you can get multiple reasons, it's often a very good indicator that Mr. Market is being irrational).

Please Note: Abbreviated holding periods and the limited capital requirements of our small, conservative bear call spreads tend to artificially skew the annualized results of our trades.

What's important to note is that we target 15-25% annualized returns on a cash secured basis for every trade that we enter. And most of the time we easily hit that target or better.

A small percentage of our trades will need to be managed for an extended period in order to be repaired - understandably, these returns tend to be less impressive (e.g. SO @ 7.15% annualized over 221 days, DISH @ 5.72% annualized over 252 days) but not always (e.g. AN @ 15.23% annualized over 149 days, WMT @ 16.96% annualized over 144 days, and JACK @ 14.20% annualized over 241 days).

But let's not kid ourselves - we're NEVER going to complain about our proven ability to take what should be a losing trade and repair it back into something that produces POSITIVE returns, even if those positive returns end up "only" being a mid-single digit annualized ROI.
