"Buy 100 SOLF @ 15.35 = $1535.00"
Three questions:
(1) Are the prices listed actual trades or simulated trades?
Each trade is posted in our Trading Journal and e-mailed in a timely fashion to all members for them to cue off of. These trades may or may not be replicated in our own accounts. But the TJ posting is AT THE CURRENT MARKET PRICE.
It is highly stressed that with my strategy exact timing is absolutely not necessary BUT making EACH TRADE both in and out of positions (even if a day late) is critical to emulate near-exact results.
So if when you get the alert SOLF is @ 16 (.65 higher) and the option has only increased .40 to our sell price, your return for that position will be less - but over time this will be viewed as negligible - because you will get better prices (higher individual return) from other trades. The point being make sure EACH TRADE is made and it will all wash out as the months progress.
I designed this comfort level for working professionals to still be able to produce exact results - even if they are making trades hours or even a day late. Timing of each trade is not critical, but targeting market trends, executing stop-loss methodology is along with targeting the right stock technicals and fundamentals with call option premiums, avoiding holding during earning dates and properly diversifying amongst industries ALL of which I have a Training Institute and hands-on trade by trade training to easily learn in about 6-18 months.
We've already seen how to manage during difficult market periods and to expect no gains when other strategies may be producing. Since we didn't have a 2001-2002 meltdown, losses that could've been extreme for most and averted by us were still taught how to be mitigated but might have been very necessary.
(2) Why are all the equity trade prices even multiples of $0.05?
Again I round the number for stocks for simplicity sake (is negligible). Option prices are in 0.05 multiples.
(3) Where are commissions accounted for?
We are not accounting for commissions. Since once a member is trained throughout all market periods and accumulates the skills to research stocks, target optimal trends, phase in and out of covered call positions, effectively implement time-and-again stop loss methodology and grow his/her account 50% on average over multi-year periods
take a breath Gilbert - phewwww
- they can basically ignore commissions and move into a larger traded account or add funds to their currently-grown account.
Say a 100k account with on average 5 times into each holding (or better yet larger cap stocks like RIMM, ISRG, etc.) 15-20 trades per month will be much less of an impact as 100k is moved to 500k in 3-4 years.
And will be less and less of an impact as time progresses since we plan on using still 10 or so positions even with a much larger grown account.
With the 20k account it is a learning process so your returns will likely be about 35-40% on average after commissions. But what you learn will be immensely valuable.

Week in Review: Market Analysis
Stocks gained ground Monday, buoyed by some mildly encouraging economic news and a big drop in oil prices. Trading levels remained near their lowest levels of the year. Very few leading stocks showed significant price movement. The major market indexes were nearly unchanged from where they were at their close on March 20. That day, stocks scored a follow-through day, a technical signal of big gains in higher volume that often confirms a strong new rally. In this case, however, the market remained in a holding pattern. The broad indexes flashed a distribution day in the prior week. That round of professional selling just a few days after the follow-through showed that the market was still on somewhat shaky ground.
The Chicago purchasing managers index delivered a better-than-expected result Monday, rising to 48.2 in March. That beat forecasts of 47.3 and topped last month's 44.5 result. Still, any figure below 50 indicates a contraction in Midwestern manufacturing activity. The market showed little reaction to a plan put forth by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, details of which circulated over the weekend. Paulson's proposal would give the Federal Reserve increased power to protect the stability of the entire financial system. It would also merge day-to-day supervision of banks into one agency, instead of the current five agencies.
The Fed has drawn recent criticism for some of its aggressive efforts to bail out embattled banks, including its big assist in JPMorgan Chase's buyout of teetering Bear Stearns. Elsewhere, commodities prices continued to fall. Crude oil slid $4.04 to $101.58 a barrel, continuing its recent pullback from highs above $110. Gold dropped $14.40, or 1.6%, at $916.20 an ounce, closing 10% off its recent summit. Prices for soybeans and other agricultural staples have also fallen off lately. Those drops have had mixed effects on stocks in commodities-related industries, however. While most highly rated gold and agricultural stocks have struggled, a number of oil stocks have held their own, or even flourished amid sinking crude prices.
On March 20, the Dow scored a follow-through day, jumping 2.2% in higher volume and confirming the market's newfound rally. But stocks didn't make much headway for the next week and a half, trading in meek volume for much of that time. On March 27, market volume picked up for a change, only to have the major indexes turn lower, netting a distribution day. Stocks vaulted higher Tuesday, fueled by a big rally in financials. The Nasdaq surged 3.7%. The S&P 500 jumped 3.6%, the NYSE composite 3.3% and the Dow industrials 3.2%. The small-cap S&P 600 ramped up 3.3%. Volume swelled across the board. It surged 25% on the Nasdaq and 17% on the NYSE vs. Monday.
Against that backdrop, Tuesday's action offered a breath of fresh air. Only one of the broad market indexes needs to follow through to confirm a new rally. Still, Tuesday netted follow-throughs for the Nasdaq, S&P 500 and NYSE composite. It also propelled the major indexes above resistance levels built up over the past few weeks. All of them leapt above their 50-day moving average lines, reaching their highest points since late February. The market's big price moves in higher volume pointed to increased conviction on the part of big-money, institutional investors, who showed an eagerness to buy stocks. Elsewhere, the Institute for Supply Management said its March index of national manufacturing activity rose to a reading of 48.6. Any figure below 50 points to contraction in the sector. Still, the number beat economists' views.
Other indicators also pointed to increased faith in equities. Bond prices fell, as the yield on the benchmark 10-year note bounced to 3.56% from 3.43% Monday. Metals prices melted. Gold sank below $900 an ounce. A number of foreign currencies also lost ground. When the stock market turns ugly, investors often escape the risk of the equities, latching onto other investment vehicles as safe havens. Tuesday read like a flight away from safety. With that said, a healthy rally requires active participation from leading stocks. On that front, Tuesday's results proved a little lacking. Aside from a few stocks, the session yielded few breakouts or dramatic new highs for top-rated stocks. That's a bit curious, given the huge price gains racked up by the broad market. The underperformance showed up in the IBD 100, which gained 3%. Still, a number of highly-rated stocks are nows setting up in bases, a good sign.
Financial stocks accounted for a good chunk of the broad market's gains Tuesday. Lehman Bros. jumped 6.70 to 44.34 in rapid volume. Late Monday, the investment bank unveiled plans to raise about $3 billion in capital through the sale of convertible preferred shares. Better-than-expected demand raised the proceeds to $4 billion. Analysts at Citi Investment Research and Deutsche Bank held their buy ratings on news of the offering. Lehman has been under pressure recently due to liquidity fears, such as those that plagued Bear Stearns. Swiss banking giant UBS jumped 4.21, or 15%, to 33.01 in nearly triple its typical turnover. The Swiss bank plans to raise $15.1 billion in new capital, helping to offset an expected first-quarter loss of $12.1 billion. A number of other major banks took off after the Lehman and UBS announcements. Investment banks ranked as the third-biggest gainer of the day among the 197 industry groups tracked by IBD.
Stocks notched mixed results Wednesday, trading quietly a day after their big rally. The major indexes started the session higher, but the market faded as the day went on, leaving the nearly all the indexes in the red by the closing bell. The NYSE composite hung on for a 0.2% advance. Volume eased across the board. When the market starts a session higher, only to reverse and turn gains into losses, that's generally a negative sign. But all things considered, Wednesday's reversal didn't look bad. For one thing, the session's lighter volume suggested that big-money investors weren't eager to dump shares. Context matters, too. On Tuesday, the Nasdaq's 3.7% led a powerful day of gains for the broad market indexes. You can't rightly expect a big rally every day. So if stocks are going to pull back, a quiet decline counts as healthy behavior. Losses as small as Wednesday's point to a market that's reluctant to relinquish its gains.
Early in Wednesday's session, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. is in danger of falling into a recession, with growth likely to contract in the first half of 2008. Speaking before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, Bernanke said the economy is still "slightly growing at the moment." But he added that he expects a continued rise in unemployment, and that the economic outlook has worsened since the Fed's last forecast in January. The market seemed mostly unfazed by those comments, as stocks didn't show any big swings or surges in trading volume. Indeed, Fed officials, economic analysts and other pundits have speculated about a possible recession since last summer, with louder warnings ringing out for the past several months.

Week in Review: Market Analysis (cont.)
Stocks edged higher in quiet trade Thursday, as the market's lofty gains from earlier this week remained intact. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 eked out 0.1% gains. The Dow industrials rose 0.2% and the NYSE composite 0.4%. The small-cap S&P 600 added 0.1%. Volume ebbed across the board. It eased 4% on the Nasdaq and 13% on the NYSE, compared with Wednesday's totals. Thursday's action looked similar to Wednesday's market. In both sessions, the major indexes traded in tame volume with very little price movement either way. Such restrained market behavior doesn't lend itself to screaming headlines. But it does show some much-needed resilience on Wall Street. Meanwhile, leading stocks outperformed the broad market, just as you would want to see. The IBD 100 picked up 1.3% as oil, steel and fertilizer stocks flexed some muscle.
The weekly jobless claims report, released Thursday morning, didn't inspire much confidence. New filings for jobless claims jumped to their highest since September 2005. They hit 407,000 in the week ended March 29, up from a revised 369,000 claims in the previous week. In other economic news, the Institute for Supply Management's services sector index rose to 49.6 in March, up from a 49.3 number in February. The result beat forecasts for a dip to 48.5 but remained below the break-even 50 mark, indicating a contracting service economy. Economic gauges remain under close scrutiny lately, as fears of a recession have been expressed by people from pundits to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Still, the best gauge of the stock market's health is the price and volume action of the major indexes and leading stocks. Economic indicators and market behavior often don't move in sync. The market often looks several months ahead in charting its path.
Stocks closed little changed again Friday, as a weak jobs report didn't faze the market The market started the day higher, shaking off the bigger-than-expected drop in jobs and a higher-than-expected spike in the jobless rate. The indexes then pulled back as the day went on. Selling increased on news that bond insurer MBIA was cut to AA from AAA by Fitch Ratings. The major indexes ended with mixed results as volume eased across the board for a third straight day.
Before the opening bell, investors digested news that the economy lost 80,000 jobs in March, more than expected. The unemployment rate jumped from 4.8% to 5.1%. That was the highest reading since September 2005 â also above economists' views. The news fueled fears that the economy is either in or headed for a recession. Despite this outlook, the market appears nonplused. The broad indexes stood firm. Friday made it three days in a row that the market stubbornly hung onto the gains won earlier in the week.
For the week, the Nasdaq banked a 4.9% gain, its biggest up week of the year. The Dow bounced 3.2%, the S&P 500 4.2%, the NYSE composite 4.5%. At first glance, it might appear unusual to see the market fare well, given the mounting evidence of economic weakness. Some market watchers have argued that the market has already priced in the bad news, given that the economy started showing signs of weakness as far back as last summer â earlier if you count the housing market's tumble. The stock market does tend to look ahead, often as much as 10 months. It may be looking past a potential recession to an upswing in economic growth. Whatever the case, the major indexes' recent gains, including follow-through-like action on Tuesday, point to a turn for the better. Leading stocks also have delivered good tidings lately. Friday saw several top-rated equities break out of bases.
There's a reason XxxxxxxCapital.com pays such close attention to a stock's price action and its volume - one rarely goes far without the other. And when prices make big moves without supporting volume, or volume spikes without price gains coming along, that's often a sign of trouble.

At XxxxxxxCapital.com, our members are given a well-thought out, proven method for minimizing losses after ramping up heady gains. Selling quickly lets you preserve your capital for new buys.

Trade alongside with us when the Stock Market stages itâs next follow-through - as big-money institutional investors jump in to buy shares!
Meanwhile, DON'T IGNORE YOUR WATCHLIST. Keep your watchlist fresh to find the best opportunities for your cash. With each market follow-through to a new rally, new leaders typically emerge from consolidated bases. Delete companies that have broken down. Look for stocks with superior fundamentals that are making calmer corrections. Also remember that the next wave of market leadership may not resemble the last rally's. Rather than guess, wait for the leadership to develop on its own.
2006 ended with double digit gains for the major indexes, WHILE 2007 ENDED IN SINGLE DIGITS. Growth investors need extreme discipline to pocket gains in both '06 and â07. In good markets and bad, smooth markets and choppy ones, following a strict set of buy and sell rules is the best way to maximize gains and limit losses. We provide complete covered call investment training to help you get your funds back on track!

Stocks edged higher in quiet trade Thursday, as the market's lofty gains from earlier this week remained intact. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 eked out 0.1% gains. The Dow industrials rose 0.2% and the NYSE composite 0.4%. The small-cap S&P 600 added 0.1%. Volume ebbed across the board. It eased 4% on the Nasdaq and 13% on the NYSE, compared with Wednesday's totals. Thursday's action looked similar to Wednesday's market. In both sessions, the major indexes traded in tame volume with very little price movement either way. Such restrained market behavior doesn't lend itself to screaming headlines. But it does show some much-needed resilience on Wall Street. Meanwhile, leading stocks outperformed the broad market, just as you would want to see. The IBD 100 picked up 1.3% as oil, steel and fertilizer stocks flexed some muscle.
The weekly jobless claims report, released Thursday morning, didn't inspire much confidence. New filings for jobless claims jumped to their highest since September 2005. They hit 407,000 in the week ended March 29, up from a revised 369,000 claims in the previous week. In other economic news, the Institute for Supply Management's services sector index rose to 49.6 in March, up from a 49.3 number in February. The result beat forecasts for a dip to 48.5 but remained below the break-even 50 mark, indicating a contracting service economy. Economic gauges remain under close scrutiny lately, as fears of a recession have been expressed by people from pundits to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Still, the best gauge of the stock market's health is the price and volume action of the major indexes and leading stocks. Economic indicators and market behavior often don't move in sync. The market often looks several months ahead in charting its path.
Stocks closed little changed again Friday, as a weak jobs report didn't faze the market The market started the day higher, shaking off the bigger-than-expected drop in jobs and a higher-than-expected spike in the jobless rate. The indexes then pulled back as the day went on. Selling increased on news that bond insurer MBIA was cut to AA from AAA by Fitch Ratings. The major indexes ended with mixed results as volume eased across the board for a third straight day.
Before the opening bell, investors digested news that the economy lost 80,000 jobs in March, more than expected. The unemployment rate jumped from 4.8% to 5.1%. That was the highest reading since September 2005 â also above economists' views. The news fueled fears that the economy is either in or headed for a recession. Despite this outlook, the market appears nonplused. The broad indexes stood firm. Friday made it three days in a row that the market stubbornly hung onto the gains won earlier in the week.
For the week, the Nasdaq banked a 4.9% gain, its biggest up week of the year. The Dow bounced 3.2%, the S&P 500 4.2%, the NYSE composite 4.5%. At first glance, it might appear unusual to see the market fare well, given the mounting evidence of economic weakness. Some market watchers have argued that the market has already priced in the bad news, given that the economy started showing signs of weakness as far back as last summer â earlier if you count the housing market's tumble. The stock market does tend to look ahead, often as much as 10 months. It may be looking past a potential recession to an upswing in economic growth. Whatever the case, the major indexes' recent gains, including follow-through-like action on Tuesday, point to a turn for the better. Leading stocks also have delivered good tidings lately. Friday saw several top-rated equities break out of bases.
There's a reason XxxxxxxCapital.com pays such close attention to a stock's price action and its volume - one rarely goes far without the other. And when prices make big moves without supporting volume, or volume spikes without price gains coming along, that's often a sign of trouble.
It is imperative that you cut your losses short. Never let a stock fall much beyond your stop-loss target. At XxxxxxxCapital.com, our members are given a well-thought out, proven method for minimizing losses after ramping up heady gains. Selling quickly lets you preserve your capital for new buys. It also helps you maintain your confidence by avoiding crushing losses.
With routine precision by side-stepping the heavy losses incurred by most, once again we have preserved most all of our sizeable compounded annual gains. Where would your net worth be had you grown your funds with exponential returns, year-after-year? Meanwhile, no market rally has ever started without a follow-through. Trade alongside with us when the Stock Market stages itâs next follow-through - as big-money institutional investors jump in to buy shares!
Meanwhile, DON'T IGNORE YOUR WATCHLIST. Keep your watchlist fresh to find the best opportunities for your cash. With each market follow-through to a new rally, new leaders typically emerge from consolidated bases. Delete companies that have broken down. Look for stocks with superior fundamentals that are making calmer corrections. Also remember that the next wave of market leadership may not resemble the last rally's. Rather than guess, wait for the leadership to develop on its own.
2006 ended with double digit gains for the major indexes, WHILE 2007 ENDED IN SINGLE DIGITS. Growth investors need extreme discipline to pocket gains in both '06 and â07. In good markets and bad, smooth markets and choppy ones, following a strict set of buy and sell rules is the best way to maximize gains and limit losses. We provide complete covered call investment training to help you get your funds back on track!

and our rolling 52 week performance versus the Nasdaq -
I have managed money before and I found it difficult. it really messed up my trading and when i lost it totally sucked. if i have a bad month with my own money it is much easier
And a rolling 52-week "value" chart.
Typically when indexes correct 10%+, our positions get stopped and we go fully into cash.
The indexes then go down a bit further than most expect (like they and stocks go up further than most expect) and at some point give us an indication a bottom my be put in.
The indexes usually retrace back to previous highs and then continue to forge higher. Our accurate entries and use of high-yielding covered calls with technically and fundamentally sound stocks in this environment perform very well. We take the premium of say 6-12% up front and hold the stock for 3-6 weeks.
We then re-invest all capital and gains for the next expiration and the compounded effect is more powerful and quite predictable to absolutely yield our stated 50% plus annual average throughout all market periods.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this is as close as you can get to printing your way to money in extremely huge wealth proportions since if you can relatively safely and easily grow say 20k to 60k in a few years (loss periods MUST be seriously contained, however) you can predictably grow say 2M to 30M in say 10 years. More than any daytrader or guru or top performing fund is EVER going to do.
And all this is predicated on the simple expectation that people are going to continue to go to work helping companies to continue to grow profits!!
So you see that even in this environment (we cashed out during 2001-2002 Bear Market, capitalized per our norm with accurate March 2003 entry and all subsequent bull periods with sidestep of downtrends) where not much has been made in this quirky late-stage bull market period.
Of vital importance to the fund manager is that if indeed 25-fold is made over an eight year period, in that ninth year giving back only say 5% or 10% is indee "da bomb!"
If with this next bullish phase the market is indeed able to (per the norm) push new leadership up past previous highs for a nice last bullish leg to this 5-year bull market, our positions will perform well and outperform the indexes and most any fund for that period of say 5-7 months.
And we do it again, like go into cash for most of the next 6-18 month, while the market goes into bear hibernation and then target the next bull market and we are off for another 6-7 fold return in 3-4 years!
While we are snoozing
Just sell the calls take the hefty return monitor the general market trend heed stop loss rules for individual positions and enjoy the ride!
Meanwhile most people are trying to get rich even quicker than this and are chasing every late-stage bull strategy that may vault 100% for one year or simply become a part of the 90% of the masses that get in and out at the exact oppostites that we do and eventually give up trying to invest on their own or relegate themselves to ultra-safe, predictable 5-10% returns off their play money by scalping day-trades thinking this is impossible.
So yes, we now have the feeling that the market is going to allow us to easily vault say 50% in the next 6 months to finally move this fund up into a nice trend. And having treaded water for just 1 year is really no big deal - in fact I bet most wish they had these prospects and didn't flounder 25-40% from their mis-adventures this last year

Typically when indexes correct 10%+, our positions get stopped and we go fully into cash.

.As far as your experiences, yeah I can understand.
That is why I post all this BS and manage returns (in a training methodology) "live" to the world and execute Collective2 trades, etc., etc.
And experience ALL market periods and listen to no negativity. This is the perfect way for me to train for the bigger upcoming ventures.
You see I don't want to say I can do anything that I cannot. And if and when I do manage a relatively small account into something significant - my rules must stay the same.
It is like a bike, man. When you fall off you just have to get back up on it and ride
