I
investigated full service brokers, analysts, mutual fund
managers, friends, relatives, colleagues and media experts.
Would any of these people lead me to the Promised Land?
The answer, for varied reasons, was a resounding NO!
I
used the power of self-education to accomplish my mission
of becoming an accomplished stock market investor. I used
the same blueprint that I adapted to become a licensed
General Dentist, a Certified Personal Trainer, and a Licensed
Real Estate Agent. Year after year, my portfolio generated
higher returns than those of the average Stock Market.
When I started selling options, those returns increased
exponentially.
In
2006 I was invited to speak before a group of 250 Real
Estate Investors about some successful property investments
I had fashioned. When I mentioned that I purchased my
first investment property with the profits earned from
selling stock options, the floodgates opened! Endless
numbers of calls and emails asking me to explain how I
do this.
In response I held a series of seminars, each one a sellout.
That has led to my penning of two books, Cashing
in on Covered Calls and Exit
Strategies for Covered Call Writing. In addition to
that, a DVD and CD Series
have been created. Most recently I have been asked to
present seminars on behalf of The Learning Annex and Norwegian
Cruise Lines. I have also been an invited guest on the
Mind Your Bizness radio program and Jordan Kimmel’s
Voice America financial radio program. In addition, I
have qualified as an investment advisor rep via the Series
65 Examination.
I
need to spread the word: we blue collar investors have
the intelligence, the motivation and the ability to be
successful and independent stock market investors.
