(I’ve also included a useful explainer video – it’s linked below)
1. How much capital do i need?
We first practice and perfect our strategies in a “Paper Trading” account. This replicates a real account, without using your own cash.
After training and practicing for 1-2 months, our graduates start with £10-£20k, then build up incrementally.
Importantly, the same 1-3% per month expected income applies irrespective of investing £10k or £100k, or £1m.
2. Do I need to monitor my portfolio all day?
No, we run our strategies pretty passively. We are not day traders.
Depending on your personal style, it takes between a few minutes per week to a few hours. On average, 2 hrs per week.
And there’s minimal guesswork. We give our investors cheat-sheets for each strategy. Step-by-step and easy to follow. Options is pretty process-driven and you’ll end up following the steps.
The cheat-sheets cover what to look for, how to select your strike price, when to act and when to leave it alone. It’s a repeatable system that works.
3. Who is on the other side and why do they pay me income?
This is a good question. The other side could be anyone (we don’t know their identity).
Where you rent out your shares … the other side pays you 1-3% monthly income to have the right to buy your shares in the future.
So instead of buying shares for full value today, they could take control (not buy) your shares for a fraction of the price (1-3%).
This appeals to speculators who might hope for the share price to shoot up in a short timeframe.
We play the probabilities game. So we’re happy to take steady monthly income. Which is probability, not speculation, working in your favour.
4. Can you lose all your money?
Definitely not with our strategies. Here’s why.
Losing everything needs the underlying to go to zero. Eg Gold going to zero. Or Apple or the S&P 500 going to zero.
Theoretically that’s possible and, if so, we’ll have far bigger problems than our wealth!
Finally, have a lovely sunny weekend – it’s going to be a scorcher!
Ps
