A BETTER WAY TO
BUY STOCKS
This strategy lets you own MORE stocks for LESS money… and could help build a $25,000 windfall while risking a paltry $500.
In fact, it may be the only way to make substantial money in the stock market
over the next five years.
Dear Reader,
If you’re wondering how in the heck you’re going to get rich in today’s stock market - you’re not alone.
The world’s richest investor, Warren Buffett, has gone on the record predicting the S&P 500 will be lucky to eke out 5% to 6% annual gains over the next decade.
Others aren’t so optimistic.
Sir John Templeton says stock investors will be "lucky to come out even" over the next five to 10 years. And Bill Gross, one of the best fixed-income managers of our time says the best we can hope for from stocks over the next decade are low single digit returns.
But does that mean there’s no money to be made in today’s stock market?
Absolutely not!
In fact, while everyone else is chasing after today’s miniscule returns, you could be enjoying your very own bull market - and raking in gains ranging from 37.14% on "traditional" plays in 20 days… and pursuing $25,000 while risking only $500, using a very exciting and powerful "bull spread" strategy.
Just like one small group of investors you’ll meet…
Brilliant Gains in a Dull Market
Despite a market that’s been "sideways" at best this year, they’ve been routinely racking up short-to-medium term gains of 27%, 44%, 33%, 29%, 55% and 63% just in recent weeks (and for readers who took advantage of the "bull/bear" spread strategy, the gains on invested capital may be spectacular… more on this in a moment.
And here’s the thing…
These folks have seen these gains trading stocks you probably know and may already own: Placer Dome, Tenet Health, Nokia, Yellow Freight, Lockheed Martin, Ultra Petroleum, and Chesapeake Energy, just to name a few.
In fact, simply by changing the way they buy stocks, these investors have seen a long run of fast solid gains in recent months, including…
Interactive Corp. - 63.6% - IACI owns and operates some of the biggest brands in the business from Home Shopping Network to Expedia. The company just bought Internet search engine ASKJeeves. Back in late 2004, the shares sold off on lower than expected earnings. It was just a hiccup and the proof of what was to come showed up when a major insider bought a large chunk of shares. Following his lead we recommended the LEAPS and saw gains of 63% in a matter of months.
Dynegy - 28.5% - This energy provider had been through rough times. But with a new more dynamic, no-nonsense CEO on board, we took advantage of the "cheap" leaps to make gains on the restructuring and higher energy prices.
Placer Dome - 26.53% - a lesson in buying gold with LEAPS leverage. All we needed was a 10% move in Placer shares to make more than 50% on the LEAPS - with gold prices moving higher, we took advantage of the leverage offered by gold stocks and further by recommending 2-year LEAPS on Placer. It did not take long for Placer shares to move higher and we locked in gains in well under a year.
Intel - 29.1% - The Semiconductor sector had sold off, but the economy was turning. Within a few weeks we rode Intel to strong profits on the back of an economic upswing that was confirmed in late 2004.
Ultra Petroleum PUT - 23.6% - Oil prices were at their highs and all the news was about still higher prices to come. But, lurking behind the scenes was increased crude production and a sudden build-up of inventories. We took advantage by shorting oil via UltraPetroleum for big profits in a matter of days.
Nasdaq QQQ PUT 37.14% - In early 2004, tech stocks were coming off huge gains from 2003. But earnings were not matching expectations and we were in for a soft patch. Using PUT LEAPS on the QQQs we shorted tech stocks and walked away with almost 40% in gains in a matter of weeks.
Yellow Freight - 32.61% - Insiders were loading up on shares and we were loading up on LEAPS. Within a few weeks we were able to walk away with more than 40% in gains on our LEAPS while the shares moved up less than 10%.
Lockheed Martin - 43.6% - A stalwart in the defense sector but not a Wall Street darling. The war in Iraq was going badly, but nobody was paying attention to defense stocks, except us. We took advantage in the lull by scooping up LMT LEAPS for quick blockbuster gains.
Daimler Chrysler PUT - 23.08% - who’s buying SUVs - for that matter who wants to drive one with gas at $3 per gallon in some places. DCX was the perfect short and it paid off handsomely in 2005.
XLE - OIL INDEX PUT - 30.6% - Once again the market drove oil prices to irrational levels - over $58 per share. Instead of shorting an oil company we shorted the XLE index of oil stocks and rode it to quick 30% gains in a matter of weeks.
And there’s more - between 2001 and 2003 subscribers benefited from returns like these:
- 45% in over a month on Ciena…
- 83% gains in just over five months on Duke Energy…
- 39% in 15 days on Hewlett Packard…
- 21% in nine days on Teco Energy…
- 106% in less than six months on Tyco…
- 64% gains in three weeks on American Airlines…
- 45% gains in two weeks on Placer Dome…
- 37.5% in two days on Best Buy…
- 45% in four months on Ford Motor…
- 43% gains in one month on Tiffany’s…
- 46% gains in three weeks on Toll Brothers…
- 66% in six weeks on Home Depot…
- 32% gains in three days on Sun Microsystems…
- 41% in two days on AOL/Time Warner…
- 53% in 12 days, again, on AOL Time Warner…
- 46% in 17 days on Qwest Communications…
Their secret?
They just don’t buy stocks the way you likely do.
A Secret that’s Gone Largely Undiscovered
They’ve discovered an amazing - yet still largely undiscovered - way to own stocks in such a way that when the stock price goes up (or down) profits can explode through the roof.
But that’s not all…
Many of these folks are also using a simple but unique "bull-spread" strategy where you can dramatically reduce the amount of cash you have at risk on the play… and then rack up amazing overall gains on that money as the stock moves in your favor! For example, on one play for Chesapeake Energy we recommended the LEAPS options and watched it go through the roof. Many readers took profits, but others decided to pursue a bull spread. The bull spread allowed them to reduce their initial at risk investment, in effect taking all but 5 cents off the table (by selling another option against their position. Now, they risk 5 cents to make $2.50. So, if you owned 10 contracts of Chesapeake, you would have $50 at risk to make $2,500 if Chesapeake closes above a certain price at expiration. If you owned 100 contracts of Chesapeake, you would be risking a net investment of $500 to make a net return of $25,000.
That strike price is $15 - today, Chesapeake is over $22 per share. You can figure out the return on your "at risk" money on this play.
And thanks to this simple yet powerful strategy, we currently recommend a position in which certain investors have been able to take all but 10 cents of their initial investment off the table by following advice to enter a "bear-spread" strategy using Energy Select SPDR put options (AMEX: XLE). In other words, they are pursuing a substantial gain with very limited risk… if they hold until expiration - a stunning investment concept!
All because they’ve found a far "better" way to buy stocks…
I’ll tell you how it works in a moment. I promise you… you’ll be shocked at just how simple and sensible it is.
You’ll immediately see why it has the potential to produce huge gains.
You’ll be amazed at how liberating using this strategy is - because it enables you to own more stock and take more positions for far less money than buying stocks the ordinary way.
Your Passport to "Accelerated Gains"
And, of course, you’ll see the "accelerated gains" this strategy has systematically produced over the years.
In fact, once you "get it" you may never buy stocks the traditional way again!
But first, let me ask you a question:
How long do you typically hold the average stock in your portfolio?
A few months? A year? Two years? Three years? Forever?
The fact is that today’s typical investor is likely to trade in and out of any given stock within a one- to three-year period.
It’s not surprising.
This is Not Your Father’s Stock Market
Stock market investing has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Years ago, investing in stocks was about professional investors buying a good company, settling in for the long-term, prospering when the company prospered, and earning dividends as they came.
These days, the market is much more volatile… less predictable. Stock prices today are much less about the company’s earnings and fundamentals than about prevailing investment trends or the "mood" of the market.
Investors are less patient too - always looking for "the next big thing." The dot-com craze not only brought millions of inexperienced investors into the mix - but they came (and many remain) with unrealistic profit expectations. So when a stock doesn’t move 10%… 20%… 30% in a month or two, investors are quicker to bail out.
And then there’s the simple fact that investors aren’t interested in the 5% annual gains Mr. Buffett and others are predicting. So investing today is more about chasing the "hot stock." It’s about getting into a hot stock today… hoping it takes off tomorrow… and getting out when the ride is over.
Why Buy When You Can "Rent" -
for Dimes on the Dollar?
Knowing that "buy and hold" is not the way to get rich in this stock market environment… let me ask you another important question…
Why buy stocks at all?
If your intention is to not hold a stock for the long haul, why pay full price to own it… when you can "rent" it for dimes on the dollar - and use the leverage to boost your returns by 100% to 875% or more?
If you think I’m talking about ordinary options here - I’m not.
They’re far too volatile. If the stock price doesn’t move fast enough in the direction you want - the option’s value is chipped away with every passing day. They require you to "time the market" - something even the greatest investors of our time can’t do. That’s why options are so risky… and why most people who buy options lose.
But what if there was a way to "remove" the time obstacle?
What if there was an option out there where you could control the stock, not for weeks or a few months, but for one, two, three years at a time? An "ultra safe option" where the ticking clock doesn’t erode its value - yet where you could still benefit from the kind of leveraged profits options offer?
Few investors know it, but such an option exists.
They’re called Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities, more commonly known as "LEAPS"
With LEAPS you essentially own a stock for up to three years… but for a fraction of the cost of owning the stock outright.
And that gives you some powerful advantages…
- You get all the leverage or ordinary options - but without having to time the market… or watching your investments value disappear when the stock moves against you.
- By investing in LEAPS instead of stocks, you can be in more investments with the potential to earn higher returns. That’s because the average LEAPS costs about 1/6th of the price of stock ownership… so instead of one position, you can take several - and earn the kind of high-powered leveraged gains I’ve shown you.
- LEAPS have been known to rocket higher when the underlying stock moves in your direction - yet fall little when there’s a negative move on a stock. That’s because there’s ample time for the stock to rebound in your direction, and earn the kind of big gains I’ve shown you.
Here’s an example of the power of LEAPS…
Last fall, Karim Rahemtulla - the options expert behind this strategy - saw an enormous opportunity brewing with defense giant Lockheed Martin. At the time you could have bought Lockheed Martin for about $45 a share. That means, to own 1,000 shares of Lockheed, you needed to spend $45,000.
But for just $3.55, you could own the Lockheed Martin LEAPS, which allowed you to control the stock until January 2006 - a full two years from when the options were purchased! So instead of spending $45,000 on 1,000 shares, Karim’s LEAPS strategy lets you control the same number of shares for just $3,550. That frees up over $40,000 for other investments.
And what happened?
43% Gain - On a 7% Move!
But Wait - It Gets Even Better…
As Karim predicted, Lockheed Martin’s stock began moving higher. Within three weeks the stock price moved from $44.35 to $47.76 - a very nice 7.6% gain…
But look what happened to the LEAPS price. It’s value shot from $3.55 to $5.10 in the same time period - a solid 43.66% gain. That’s about six times the return you could have made holding the stock.
With gains in hand, Karim recommended to his LEAPS Options Trader subscribers that they could lock in those fast gains by selling half their position.
How much would you have earned on the same move by just owning Lockheed Martin stock? A measly 5%.
Subscribers enjoyed similar success with Yellow Freight, after locking in a tidy 32% gain in less than a month.
Maximize Gains from Even the Smallest
Move in any Stock Price
LEAPS can have enormous impact when combined with Karim’s unique strategy. Imagine if you could consistently turn those 3%, 4% and 5% stock price moves into whopping 40%, 50% and 120% gains!
Now I know this trading technique might sound a little complex when you first hear it. But in reality, it’s not. Instead of one transaction there are two - a "buy" for the initial options position… and then a "sell" where you sell an options position into the market and have someone pay you cash. That’s how your "money at-risk" becomes dramatically reduced. Then, as the underlying stock moves higher - you simply buy back the option you sold into the market… and sell the option you own at the dramatically higher price.
Do it once and it’ll all make complete sense. But even if this kind of trading is new to you, don’t worry. Karim tells you what to do every step of the way: what to buy, what to sell and at what price… even the ticker symbols you need to know. (In fact, we’ll include a list of brokers who follows the service. All you need to do is tell your broker how many positions you want to take!)
This really is a great strategy - a wonderful opportunity to "cheat the market" out of a lot of cash - even on the most routine price move in a stock. Imagine how much more exciting opening your monthly trading account statement would be if you could be racking up big gains - while dramatically reducing the amount of money you have at-risk in the market!
Then again, Karim has made an investing career profiting from unique option products. One of the reasons he’s so successful is that he doesn’t fall into the common options traps so many investors fall into. He’s constantly finding ways to put the power of options on your side - ways where the advantage goes to you, rather than Wall Street market makers.
He’s an Option Trader’s Best Kept Secret
Over the years he’s developed dozens of successful options strategies - including a covered call options strategy that boasts a remarkable 70% success rate over the past five years! (How many Wall Street pros are right on nearly seven out of every 10 picks? Not many, I can assure you.)
And now, with his LEAPS Options Trader service, he’s doing it again. He’s found a way to make the leveraging power of options work for you, by developing a unique strategy where you could make fast profits - protect them - and then let the market’s money earn you significant gains. It’s no wonder the CNBC called him a "Market Maven" and why investors swarm after him at the dozens of investment conferences he’s invited to speak at each year.
His strategies are not only effective - but they are so simple once you see them in play. Even more importantly, they just make good sense.
Let me give you a good example involving a nice play Karim saw unfolding in the energy sector with a little company called Teco Energy.
The stock was volatile, trading in a range from $24 down to $10 over the past year. Teco’s stock price had taken a substantial hit after a period of expanding too quickly, but was doing all the right things again: paring debt, cutting dividends, restructuring its operation - all while maintaining a level of profitability. Reflecting this improvement, the stock had rebounded from recent lows and Karim was confident the trend would continue.
A 21% Gain vs. 2.5% — in Nine Days!
But instead of buying Teco’s stock at $12.94 a share, Karim urged subscribers to his LEAPS Option Trader service to buy the January 2005 $15 LEAPS for a mere $1.40 a share. That meant you owned the right to buy Teco at $15 anytime over the coming year-and-a-half for about 1/10th of the price of owning the stock.
Sure enough Teco’s shares moved higher. Nine days later, Teco’s stock had risen from $12.94 to $13.26 - a small 2.5% gain…
Anyone who risked $64,700 to buy 5,000 shares would have made only $1,600 on the trade, even less with in-and-out commissions.
But the LEAPS price popped from $1.40 to $1.70… a 21% gain - all because Teco’s stock price was trending higher and the LEAPS option had nearly 18 months of life left in it.
Virtually the Same Cash Gain -
With $57,000 Less at Risk!
Satisfied with a 21% gain in nine days, Karim issued a sell. LEAPS Option Trader subscribers who risked $7,000 to buy LEAPS on 5,000 shares made a quick $1,500… yet they had nine times less money at risk!
Instead of having over $64,000 tied up in one investment, LEAPS Option Trader subscribers had only $7,000 invested, leaving $57,000 available for other trades…
…like this next play with Advanced Micro Devices.
Having followed AMD for several years, Karim knew better than anyone else that as the market goes up, so does AMD. And in June of this past year, it was clear the market was on the rise - making it an ideal time to get on board the second-place microchip maker for the ride higher.
At the time of the recommendation, AMD was trading at $6.79, which meant that for $67,900 you could have owned 10,000 shares.
But for only $15,000 you could have owned the right to buy 10,000 AMD shares at $10 - all the way out to January 2006.
Sure enough, AMD’s stock price doubled on the heels of a hot market. Owners of the stock could have made a 101% gain in less than four months…
But the LEAPS did even better. They rocketed from $1.50 a share to $3.20 at the time of the sell recommendation, turning your $15,000 investment into $32,000 - a tidy 113% gain.
That’s more than the gain you would have made owning the stock - but with less than one-third of your money at risk in the play!
Let’s look at it another way.
Turn $67,000 into $142,710
Let’s say you were willing to invest what it would cost to own 10,000 shares of AMD stock - $67,000 - in the recommended LEAPS. And why not? For that money you could have "controlled" over 44,600 AMD shares for the next two-and-a-half years - longer than most investors would typically hold a volatile stock like AMD!
Had you sold on the recommended sell date, your $67,000 could have ballooned to as high as $142,710!
Make Today’s Market Volatility Your Friend
Why have we been able to rack up winner after winner using LEAPS?
One word: volatility. Anytime we’re in a market where stocks can move so substantially and so quickly, the opportunity to profit from LEAPS is enormous. That’s because with LEAPS you’re holding a leveraged position on that stock. And leverage, as you know, lets you earn bigger profits on even the smallest move in the underlying asset.
Best of all, the market volatility we’re enjoying today looks like it will continue for some time. After the recent freefall, investors are moving stocks higher again - in many cases, substantially. AMD, for example, doubled in a few months. Of course any time stocks move so quickly one way, there are bound to be mini-corrections the other, be it profit taking or just the realization that the stock’s been driven too high.
Which brings us to yet another benefit of adding LEAPS to your portfolio…
Use LEAPS to Profit in an Up- or Down-Market
With LEAPS you cannot only play the upside of the market… but the downside as well.
For example, when luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers became clearly overvalued in the heat of the housing boom, Karim eyed an opportunity to cash in. With Toll Brothers trading a tad over $29, he recommended his LEAPS Option Trader subscribers to buy the January 2004 $20 put LEAPS for $2.22.
Sure enough, Toll Brothers began to falter. Three weeks later it had fallen to $24.14 a share. Investors who shorted the stock made 17% on the move…
46% Gains in Three Weeks… On a Falling Stock
…But LEAPS Option Trader subscribers had an opportunity to earn 46% gains when the LEAPS appreciated to $3.25 - even though the stock had not reached the $20 strike price. (Another advantage of LEAPS is they tend to appreciate quickly, no matter what the strike price, when the underlying stock moves in the right direction - and there’s lots of time remaining on the play. One move towards the strike price sent our Toll Brothers LEAP higher.)
Again, LEAPS Option Trader subscribers had less money at risk. To short 5,000 shares of Toll Brothers you would have been required to tie up as much as $100,000 cash to cover. But our subscribers would have paid only $11,100 for our put LEAPS - and made off with up to $5,100 in gains very quickly.
You Don’t Need "Big Money" to Profit From LEAPS
Incidentally, you don’t need tens of thousands of dollars to trade and profit from LEAPS. In fact, LEAPS are cheaper to own than stocks. As an example, you could have bought the LEAPS on our Toll Brothers play for as little as $222, excluding commissions. Heck, you could have participated in our highly successful AMD play for as little as $190! Meanwhile, to buy 100 shares of AMD at the time would have cost you $679.
Are you beginning to see the tremendous advantage of using LEAPS to control stocks for the long-term over buying the stock outright?
- LEAPS can appreciate two to 10 times more than the underlying stock price, which means you could earn bigger profits faster…
- LEAPS are roughly five times cheaper to own than stocks, yet you control the stock for as long as the average investor would typically own it…
- LEAPS let you minimize your "dollars at-risk", freeing up more of your cash for other plays, other investments…
- You can make LEAPS fit in any trading budget. You can begin small - usually for under $500 for a 100-share contract (sometimes as little as $200)… or trade tens of thousands of contracts at a time…
- Unlike ordinary options, LEAPS provide ample time for price recovery should the underlying stock move against you…
- LEAPS let you win on both sides of the market. You can buy long-term LEAPS "calls" if you think a stock’s going higher… or long-term LEAPS "puts" if you think a stock’s going lower…
- With LEAPS, your risk is always known and limited - yet there is no limit to the profit you could make…
- LEAPS offer the power of leveraged profits without the devastating time value erosion associated with ordinary options…
- And there can be tax benefits associated with LEAPS that ordinary options don’t have. If you profit from a LEAPS you’ve held for more than a year, your profits are taxed at the capital gains rate, versus the ordinary income rate for short-term options.
Use Options to Profit from "Big Picture" Plays, Too
But there’s one more very big and potentially profitable advantage to making LEAPS a significant part of your portfolio…
Few investors know it, but LEAPS let you profit from "big picture" economic trends as well… using such commodities as gold, currencies, interest rates, crude oil and others. For instance, if global economic and political trends are unfolding that could push crude oil prices higher or lower, you can buy a LEAPS that will give you leveraged profits when and if oil moves in the anticipated direction.
Back to the XLE example I mentioned earlier. At a recent seminar, and to his subscribers, in the spring of 2005 Karim said to short crude oil using the XLE put LEAPS. A few weeks later, crude oil fell by 10% and the LEAPS made 40%. That’s not all. Using a bear spread, subscribers were able to sell an option to cover their position completely. Now there is no-risk in the play if they hold to expiration and they stand to make $2,000 for every 10 contracts they own - at zero cost - truly a free ride!
Whenever a solid opportunity is emerging - Karim will issue a LEAPS recommendation strategically designed to give you ample time for the play to unfold… along with all the leveraging power LEAPS options are known for.
It’s an exciting addition to the LEAPS Option Trader service. That’s because at any given time, political social and economic events take place that can drive these key indicators higher or lower in a comparatively short window of time.
"One of The Greatest Secrets In the Investing World"
With the opportunity to profit from both stock and "big picture" economic moves, its no wonder so many investment experts have called LEAP "one of the greatest secrets in the investment world."
In fact, LEAPS may just be the most potentially profitable class of options available… yet few investors have heard of them, let alone use them. LEAPS are rarely mentioned in the mainstream financial press. The Wall Street Journal publishes only high volume LEAPS quotes… and Barron’s dedicates only one small column a week on them.
And that’s just the way we like it…
Because LEAPS are trading tools typically used by a select group of sophisticated investors, they tend to trade "true to their value" day in, day out. By that, I mean they can be counted on to move relative to the underlying stock price, rarely selling off in a panic. That’s why LEAPS so consistently outperform the underlying stock price in a range that’s predictable time after time.
And one of the reasons so many professional investors use a LEAPS strategy in their portfolio is they know the power of an investment where you can control a large number of shares - and earn bigger profits - for a fraction of the cost of owning the underlying investment.
Best of All, LEAPS Make Investing Fun Again
But beyond all the logical reasons - buying and trading LEAPS is fun too!
At a time when you’re lucky to squeeze any profits at all out of the market, trading LEAPS is like a throwback to the days when investments could rise 20% in a few days…. 50% in a week… 100% in a month.
And it doesn’t take a lot of wins for LEAPS to have a profound effect on your portfolio. String together a few decent winners - like our AMD play and our Tyco and Duke Energy plays before that - and you could quickly turn a $5,000 investment in each into as much as $31,750!
Too Good to Be True?
You know, as Director of VIP Trading Services, I speak with a lot of members about our various trading systems - and we have some good ones with very impressive track records…
But when I explain to them the enormous money-making power of LEAPS using Karim’s LEAPS Option Trader strategy they become very excited… yet they just can’t fathom how such an investment vehicle exists - where you get the super leveraging power of options and the precious luxury of time together in one investment.
They ask me: Why would anyone buy stocks when you can control them for up to three years with LEAPS? Why would anyone buy stocks when you can make two, three, five - even 10 times the gains… with just a fraction of the money at risk?
That’s when I issue my standard caution…
LEAPS only produces these impressive returns when the underlying stock moves in the direction you’re betting. Knowing which way a stock is headed - and which LEAPS option is best suited to benefit from both a price and time-value standpoint - is crucial to your success.
That’s why you can’t buy any old LEAPS on any old stock and expect the profits to pile up.
And that’s where Karim’s profound understanding of options and his 15 years of stock analysis experience come in.
He’s one of the few investment gurus who has "put his money where his mouth is" and, although he’s only in his forties, he’s already amassed an impressive personal net worth using his own trading techniques alone. (Indeed, Karim could live quite nicely on his past investment success, but he just loves meeting investors who are as passionate about trading as he is… and he’s happy to share his knowledge with those eager to learn the deeper secrets of successful investing.)
One of the reasons he’s so successful is that he zeros in on just a handful of the most volatile stocks in the most volatile sectors. Then he crunches the numbers, analyzes the fundamentals and tracks their every move in order to get a sense of where they’re likely to go next. That’s precisely how he was able to warn members of the coming crash in the Nasdaq in early 2000 - before it began in earnest… then score huge gains as down-beaten companies such as Cisco, Intel, Motorola and Oracle stage their monumental comebacks in October 2002.
But stocks are just one part of Karim’s profit strategy. Over the years he’s also established himself as an internationally renowned options expert for his work in introducing new and creative ways for the average investor to use options to boost their stock market returns, while reducing their market risk.
His wildly successful proprietary covered call trading system is one of the most successful stock option strategies on record - boasting a phenomenal 70% win rate on the more than 100 plays he’s recommended since it was established in 1999.
And now his exciting LEAPS Option Trader service - a trading program that targets bigger gains by focusing exclusively on the wealth-building power of Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities - is fast establishing itself as one of the most successful long-term options trading strategies in the world.
Before I tell you how you can get LEAPS Option Trader - and begin profiting from the long list of LEAPS and "Bull Spread" strategies he has in store - permit me to ask you a rather delicate question…
What do you think it is worth to have information like this coming to you week after week… to be on the receiving end of investment recommendations that can turn a minimal amount of risk capital into thousands of dollars in profits, time after time?
Of course the answer to that question will vary from investor to investor…
But serious investors - those who know and appreciate the value of carefully researched, consistently successful financial advice - know it’s worth a great deal.
What Are Big Profits Worth to You?
After all, had you been in on Tyco (106% gain within six months) or the Best Buy play (up 37.5% in two days), I imagine you’d be very happy right now - just as happy as if you were holding our Chesapeake Energy play, which could result in a $25,000 windfall from $500 of at-risk capital.
With the AMD deal alone, you could have turned a $10,000 investment into more than $21,300. And to have been in on the Duke Energy play just a few weeks earlier could have added another $8,300 in gains to the tally. Even the modest 39% gain made with Hewlett Packard over 15 days would have tacked on another $3,900 in.
Five winning plays - more than $100,000 in gains…
So is it safe to say $5,000 would be a fair price? $10,000 perhaps?
Frankly, any serious investor would be happy to pay either amount - or anywhere in between - for the kind of advice that can produce such substantial profits so quickly on just three recommendations.
Of course you won’t pay $10,000 to get this service. Or even $5,000…
You’re entitled to a one-year subscription to LEAPS Option Trader for the extraordinarily fair price of $1,250.

You can save a few dollars if you opt to take advantage of our quarterly payment option. For $295 billed to your credit card every three months, you’ll never have to worry about renewing your subscription. And because we won’t have to go to the effort and expense of sending you a renewal notice, we’re happy to pass along the savings to you.
Consider what you get for that price…
First off, you’ll get a fast reading report detailing what options and LEAPS are all about - how they work, the risks, the rewards, where and how to trade them, and so on. If you know nothing about options, this report will teach you everything you need to know. Even if you’re a seasoned options trader, it’s a great refresher that may just surprise you with some new trading strategies.
Precise Recommendations
You get investment recommendations from one of the country’s leading stock and options experts - roughly 20 to 30 a year, delivered by fax or e-mail - each one presented in clear and concise terms. By that I mean you’ll know precisely what to buy, where to buy it and at what price. You’ll learn why Karim believes the stock is moving higher (or lower), as well as any and all risks associated with the trade. And when to sell and take profits!
Regular Updates
Those times when no recommendations are forthcoming, you’ll get a weekly update, alerting you to the status of open plays… Karim’s outlook for the week ahead… along with any actions you need to take.
Trading Assistance
I should remind you at this point that buying and selling LEAPS is no more complex than buying and selling ordinary options… or stocks for that matter. They can be easily purchased online or through any broker.
However, if you’re uneasy about it, we can provide you with a list of brokers that are familiar with this type of trading. Understand that neither Karim nor the Mt. Vernon Options Club accepts any compensation should you choose to use these brokers’ services - and that your choice of brokers is yours and yours alone.
A Full and Complete Guarantee of Satisfaction
And finally, you get piece of mind. If after 30 days of reading LEAPS Option Trader you decide that this style of trading is just not your thing, simply e-mail our Member Services Department directly and I’ll make sure your entire subscription fee is returned to you.

Start Profiting From LEAPS Today!
By now I hope you’re convinced as to the enormous profit potential trading LEAPS options can offer you.
Remember, LEAPS options can be a more profitable alternative to buying stock - particularly if you’re like so many investors who rarely hold stocks for more than three years.
With LEAPS, you get what amounts to ownership of the underlying stock for one to three years - for a fraction of what it would cost to buy the stock outright…
And then there’s the wealth-multiplying power of leverage. Depending on the stock and the LEAPS you buy, your investment can appreciate anywhere from two to 10 times greater than the price of the underlying stock.
The proof is in the results…
When American Airlines stock rebounded 24% in three weeks… our LEAPS rose 64%…
When Teco Energy’s price moved just 2.4% in nine days… our LEAPS jumped 21%…
When Hewlett Packard’s stock moved 7% in 15 days… our LEAPS moved 39% higher…
When Best Buy’s stock moved 11% higher in two days… our LEAPS rose 37.5%…
Even when Toll Brothers stock fell 20%… our LEAPS went up 46%…
And with Karim’s "bull spread" strategy we’ve lowered our risk to laughable levels. Those not "in the know" will never believe it.

Or, if you prefer, you can contact Member Services at 877.465.1415, simply ask for priority code: WFPSG202. Either way you join, we’ll be sure to get you started on your profitable journey right away - by rushing you everything you need… including the recommendation Karim believes will earn subscribers a quick 40% (or more) in the coming six months.
But I urge you not to delay.
There are a lot of exciting opportunities swirling in the market place right now, as the economy shows new signs of life… and the stock prices of down-beaten mainstays start to roar back.

P. S. Needless to say, a service this successful gets its share of fan mail. I thought you might like to hear what LEAPS Option Trader subscribers are saying about their experiences trading Karim’s recommendations. Here are just a few letters that arrived at our offices:
"I wanted to write this letter to let you know how pleased I am with your service. I have made over 130% on the Tyco play and over 150% on Duke Energy. I am currently up over 120% in the Advanced Micro trade. I love the action in the options market but, until now, have never been able to make money trading them. I especially like how clear and easy your instructions are to follow. Thanks again and keep the picks coming"

"I must tell you how pleased I am with my LEAPS Options Trader subscription. I am particularly pleased with Duke Energy (up 38%), Hewlett Packard (up 17% in 2 weeks) and AMD (up 100% in 1 week). Your wisdom and hard work are greatly appreciated."
D.B.S., Tampa, FL
LEAPS Options Trader subscriber
"Please forward my gratitude to Mr. Rahemtulla for his expert advice. Not only has my account weathered these uncertain times, but my portfolio is up in excess of 25%! I am thankful I have finally found a system that works."
Ron B., New York City, NY
LEAPS Options Trader subscriber
"For traders with a traditional buy and hold orientation, options usually carry with them the stigma of being short-term trading tools with tax consequences. LEAPS, by the very nature of their long-term expiration dates, help to overcome this stigma. It isn’t unusual for LEAPS traders to hold a position for more than a year. Plus, LEAPS have the added benefit of giving a trader significantly more time to be right about a market move."
