Options education question

[IVtrader]

Quote from jodistrict:

I am interested in taking a good course on how to trade options SAFELY using conservative techniques. I have identified two programs that seem to meet this requirement.

SJOPTIONS

http://www.sjoptions.com/

SHERIDAN Options Mentoring

http://www.sheridanmentoring.com/

I am interested in learning safe scalable strategies. My goal is to be able to manage a large retirement portfolio and would be happy with 2 percent per month. I am aware that most courses out there are junk but these two seem to be taught by experienced traders and they are teaching what I want to learn � conservative strategies using adjustments and hedging that can be applied to a large portfolio as opposed to speculative plays with large drawdowns.

Does anyone have experience, insights, or recommendations about either of the above?

yes I'm familiar with Dan Sheridan's program. as there are individuals in this thread that clearly are prejudiced against mentoring( or know much less than they claim about options trading), just contact me privately. and be advised that the returns you seek are very aggressive and not very real



jimr_77024@yahoo.com1234 (munged address). put "questions about Dan" in subject line of your email. I have no arrangements or relationships with Dan that benefit me financially from talking about him or his program

Why would we be prejudiced against a guy selling something that he doesn't even use himself. A guy who made all "his" money making dollar wide markets on the floor. You know, I always like to see the cook eat his own food every once and a while.

Yeah, exactly. You can have a strategy with high returns, you can have a safe strategy and you can have a scalable strategy. Unfortunately, you have to select two out of these three.

jodistrict ........ I suggest you post any questions on the board. IVtrader is up to no good by requesting that you contact him privately.

and exactly how have you helped the poster with his inquiry? (you've had to look up what an certain trade is on wikipedia. and your "research" was limited to reading an Internet ad from the option training organization).

you and BWolinski must be drinking buddies

Today i was watching a movie where in someone says something like "when there is a gold rush but no real gold; there is still a lot of money to be made selling shovels".

Thats what ICs are all about; atleast the way a few folks teach/market them. They are pretty good for the books of your online broker and floor brokers (good commisions and spreads ).

That said, there are times to use them. But the reason to put them is definitely not because you dont have any edge in direction; quite the opposite; you need to know that price will stay in that given range during a particular time period to make it a profitable trade (dont forget you need to over come commisions also on both sides). If you just put them on because you have no particular reason.. you are going to be miserable because they will go both up and down and you wont like either.
