Hi, my name is Allen Sama.
I make a living trading the markets and do very well at it. But it wasn't always so.
When I first started trading I did what most people do.
- I listened to the "experts" on TV
- I listened to my financial planner
- I bought "quality companies"
- I diversified my assets
- I bought all the books and went to the "learn to trade" seminars
Yet, I still lost boat loads of money!
My stock account, which was opened with $83,000 was down to $34,372.15. It had taken my wife and I, six years to save up that money, and it only took one year to piss most of it away.
If you've ever lost money in the stock market you know how I felt. I had tried everything: day trading, value investing, trend following, technical trading, going to expensive seminars, reading every stock book I could get my hands on, watching CNBC all day and even Cramer every night, but I kept losing money!
Why losing $48,627.85 in stocks was the best thing that ever happened to me.
I decided I would not make another trade until I went painstakingly through all my trade statements and discovered what I did wrong, and what, if anything I had done right.
It was only then that I realized something that changed my life forever…
The only technique that I made money on consistently was selling options.
The only logical thing to do was ignore everything else and to master the science of selling options. And since I have, I have earned between 5 and 15% a month! Yes, that's a month, not a year.
I became consumed with option selling strategies: credit spreads, condors, butterflies, calendars, covered calls, diagonals, delta, theta, gamma, volatility, etc.
I focused only on options. I read every book on the subject. I went to every seminar I could, and watched hundreds of hours of videos.
But it was all worth it.
When I was done, I had become an options expert. But best of all, I had a trading plan.
My plan tells me how to find trades, which options to buy and sell, when to get into the trade, when to get out, how much to spend on each trade, how to keep my losses as small as possible, and how to generate income from up, down, and sideways markets.
I no longer cared which way the market moved or if it moved at all, I could still make money.
But then it was time to test my strategies. I literally spent hundreds of hours back testing trades using my plan on stocks, indexes and ETFs all the way back to 1995. The more I back tested, the happier I got because the trades and my plan were making money. Only then did I start to trade again. But this time, I was consistently profitable.
I am now living the life of my dreams:
- I no longer need a job, trading is my business.
- I work from home, most days in shorts or pajamas.
- I can live anywhere in the world.
- My wife has since quit her job and we take frequent vacations.
- I am not glued to my screen and only have to adjust my trades on average of once a month each.
- I can trade anywhere; I just take my laptop with me.
So what exactly is Option Selling?
A stock option is a tool created to help investors and others hedge their investments.
A stock option is a tool created to help investors and others hedge their investments.
Options were actually created to act as insurance.
If you owned a large amount of stock, to protect it from losing value if the markets drop, you can buy a Put option.
If the stock drops in price, your stock will lose value but the Put will make money to offset your loss.
It’s a hedge. That is what is was designed for.
But then speculators got involved and started to buy options looking to take advantage of an option’s leverage.
You see, if you buy a Call option and a stock goes up, you can make 100% ROI or more literally in the same day.
And that is why the internet is littered with courses and newsletters that proclaim to teach you how to know what options to buy so you can make millions overnight.
But there is a problem – a huge problem.
In order for the option buyer to make any money, he has to be right on three things:
- Direction of the move on a stock (Up or down)
- When the move will occur (tomorrow, next week, next month, 3 months)
- How large the move will be (how many dollars the stock price will increase or decrease)
If the option buyer is wrong on any one of these three, even just a little bit, the trade will lose and he will lose the entire amount he paid for the option.
Why?
Because options expire.
They are like coupons that you have to pay for. They have an expiration date.
If you do not use your coupon before the expiration date, you lose whatever you paid for the coupon.
It is no wonder, that most options expire worthless.
Buying options is considered very, very, risky.
Selling options is the other side of the coin.
We sell options to the speculators.
The options we sell allows us to have a very high probability of winning (we only sell options that most likely will expire)
We are like the casino and option buyers are like the gamblers.
The house, that’s us, always has the edge.
Once in a while a gambler wins, but over the long run, the casino always comes out ahead.
