How to Get the Kind of Lifestyle You Deserve

Monday, September 21, 2009 | Dylan Jovine

CAN SUCCESS BE PURCHASED?

The answer is yes. And the cost is only a few minutes each day.

Why? Because success can be learned. Just as using e-mail can be learned. And it can be made as automatic as your Internet connection. And just as reliable.

Take the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, for example.  Every day, their greenest, least-polished trader trainees were sent off to one man to learn how to become successful. The oldest exchange in America bet tens of millions of dollars on a single man's ability to teach their new traders the secrets of successful investing.

They trusted this one man with the very future of their entire firm. And it worked.

Today, people travel from all over the world and pay up to $10,000 just to learn the secret techniques he used as an Options Specialist during the 1990s. You could probably count on one hand how many people on earth were Options Specialists in companies like Dell Computer (SYM: DELL) and Home Depot (SYM: HD) during the tech boom of the Roaring '90s.

With experience like his, you can learn techniques like these:

• How to look at your stock portfolio the way a profit-oriented real estate investor would look at their vacant properties. They would never leave their properties idle and not use them to generate income. Did you know you could do this with your existing stock positions as well?
  
  
• How to turn your portfolio into your own ATM Machine with a simple strategy designed to free up cash and maintain the stocks you own at a fraction of the cost.
  
  
• How to trade high-dollar "hot" stocks at a fraction of the cost, with your risk and reward defined clearly before you enter the position. 
  
  
• How to trade a stock you think is going to move but you're not sure in which direction. This is ideal when earnings or important product news hits the tape.

For years, many of these secrets were the property of a select group of Wall Street insiders. Insiders who weren't eager to share these secrets, because they knew how much the techniques they kept secret were really worth.

But that's all going to change this Friday, Sept. 25 at 8 a.m., with the release of Options GPS.

That's when 1,000 lucky people will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity become his newest students. To learn all of his techniques, at the lowest price he has EVER charged to teach them, absolutely risk-free. And yes, these are the very same techniques that have made him the most sought-after-options teacher in the country. (And you'll find a few previously unreleased surprises.)

So today, I'd like to take a moment to congratulate you and 87,000 of your fellow Tycoon Report readers who are on the Options GPS "Morning GPS" Early Announcement List.

I've never been more proud of any product we've ever created here before. Why? Because Options GPS has the power to change the lives of each and every person fortunate enough to get a copy. All you have to do is follow the instructions. More on that in a moment. ...

Before we continue,  a little "house-keeping" is in order first.

Hundreds (if not thousands already) of folks have written in, asking why Options GPS is being released to Tycoon Report readers at the same exact time its being released to the "general public." First off, nothing could be further from the truth! 

As always, you and the rest of the Tycoon family will be notified between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Friday, at least several hours before the rest of the world.

The Investing Education Launch Event of the Year

Please accept my personal apology for any confusion we might have caused.  As a matter of fact, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible patience as we've sorted through what has become the first global launch event we've ever been part of. 

What really makes this our first worldwide launch "event" is that were releasing a new product in conjunction with partners such as Forbes, Agora Publishing, Big Trends and dozens of others. As of today, estimates range from an additional 2 million to 3 million people across the globe who are also awaiting Friday's release of Options GPS.

In addition, we've never had more than 30,000 or so Tycoon Report readers awaiting the release of a new product we've created.  But 30,000 people signed up for the Options GPS notification list the first week it was open!

Frankly, the interest caught us by such surprise that the list had grown to 87,000 before we finally had to close it.  (For those of you who wrote in and said you couldn't sign up because you were traveling, sick, etc., please call customer service directly, as I've instructed them to add you to the list.) 

Because of the large amount of people competing for Options GPS, I've been asked why we haven't printed more than 1,000 copies. Why keep the supply at 1,000, the level we always introduce new products at, when demand for the product is exploding?

Fair question. 

The reason we only made 1,000 copies is because Options GPS is more like an options education "system," as opposed to just a course. And the system has three main components:


Now, some of you may remember back in February when I announced our plans to create the world's first truly independent online university dedicated solely to investing. It's called TycoonU, and because Options GPS is the very first product to be released under the TycoonU brand, we want to play it as conservatively as we can. 

That's why we're dedicated to avoiding the short-term gain of overcrowding a classroom because we sold more copies. The way we see it, the long-term price to pay in reputation is just too expensive.  

Due to the strong demand we're facing, however, I think we are going to have to manufacture a second batch of 1,000 copies or so. But I think the solution we've come up with is reasonable: The first 1,000 people who sign up will be given the entire "system," bells, whistles and all.  In other words, class starts immediately for the first 1,000 students.

In contrast, while the second batch of 1,000 students who register will have the DVDs shipped to them immediately, they'll have to wait for several weeks to join a formal class. To ensure there's no misunderstanding whatsoever, you'll be notified as soon as the first batch of 1,000 copies is gone and the classroom is full.

For what it's worth, I sincerely hope that every seat is taken by one of us. Not only am I thrilled with what you're going to learn, but I've already learned so much about options while we built Options GPS that I've decided to actually take the first class with you because I have much more to learn.

Here's why:
 
The Course That Took Four Years to Make

My name is Dylan Jovine and I'm the CEO of Tycoon Publishing.

Four years ago, my partner Christopher Rowe shared a vision with me. It was to make the greatest options education system ever created. So he went out and spent $20,000 buying, watching and studying every options course on the market.

It wasn't long before the options education industry seemed to divide into two groups: the mediocre and the horrible.

The "horrible" are courses taught by options teachers who were truly illiterate on the subject. It's horrible because you not only waste your money buying the course,  but you get killed big-time using the "strategies" you're taught.

In contrast, the "mediocre" had the most-experienced options educators teaching today.  What they lacked, though, was the money to make anything more than a 30-hour PowerPoint slide presentation with terrible sound quality packaged as a DVD set. As many ex-students we interviewed said, attending these courses was often so painful that they quit.

After finishing his market research, Chris's plan was clear:


I must admit I was surprised when Chris insisted that he didn't want to teach the course all by himself. He certainly has the knowledge and experience to. But he believed that, to create the best options education system ever, we needed the best educator we could find.

Being an options expert wasn't enough.  The ideal person was not only a proven options expert but, more importantly, a proven teacher who absolutely loves to teach.

Knowing how important having the right teacher was, I readily agreed. I think I can speak for every successful investor I know when I say it all started with a great teacher/mentor.

As far as Chris was concerned, in the entire United States, only one man fit that description. His name was Ron Ianieri.

He had concentrated his entire lifetime in one field -- discovering the 14 best strategies you'll ever need to trade options for a living.

Ron believes these 14 strategies are all you need to know. Everything else is a waste of time.

And he believes that these 14 strategies can be learned. In approximately 30 minutes per day.

Thousands of former students agree with him. And these are the people who took his old "painful" course,  all of whom have celebrated Options GPS as a paradigm shift.

For two decades, the only way you could learn these techniques was to get a job at the Philadelphia Stock Exchange.

But, starting Friday, when Options GPS is released, 1,000 lucky people will have every word of his course. And that means you'll know every secret technique he's ever used to make money trading options.

Here's a small sample of the information you will find in this course:

• How to maximize your gains while limiting your risk with sector Exchange-Traded Fund options. 
   
• How to identify the six factors that affect the price of an option.

I look forward to seeing you in class with me soon!

FRIDAY, SEPT. 25

8:30 a.m. Durable Goods Orders

    * Importance (A-F): This release merits a B.
    * Source: The Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce.
    * Release Time: 8:30 a.m. Eastern around the 26th of the month (data for month prior).
    * Raw Data Available At: http://www.census.gov/ftp/pub/indicator/www/m3/index.htm

The durable orders release measures the dollar volume of orders, shipments, and unfilled orders of durable goods (defined as goods whose intended lifespan is three years or more).

Orders are considered a leading indicator of manufacturing activity, and the market often moves on this report -- despite the volatility and large revisions that make it a less-than-perfect indicator.

These problems can be minimized by looking at the breakdown of orders. The total number is often skewed by huge increases in aircraft and defense orders. An increase based solely on strength in one sector tends to be discounted, while the market is more impressed with broadbased increases in orders.

Highlights

    * Durable goods orders surged 4.9% in July, well above the 3.2% increase predicted by the Consensus. However the headline is very misleading.

    * The Cash for Clunkers stimulus package was not a driver, as motor vehicles and parts orders grew 0.9% after declining 0.2% in June.

    * Instead, the headline growth number was driven by a colossal increase in nondefense aircraft orders, which grew 107.2%. Aircraft orders are generally highly volatile and growth at this level is not sustainable.

    * Non-residential investment is again trending down, as new orders for nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft fell 0.3%. A drop in machinery orders by 6.6% offset a gain in communications equipment orders.

    * Excluding transportation, new orders increased a very modest 0.8%, slightly less than Consensus.

    * Shipments, which factor into GDP growth, grew at a nice 2.0% pace and help get Q3 GDP growth off to a nice start. Excluding transportation, shipments grew 2.2%.

    * The inventory contraction remains a problem as inventories fell 0.8% in July.

    * The Cash for Clunkers stimulus again posted a mild surprise as auto inventories did not pick up. However, this could have resulted from demand for autos outperforming production. The cause of the inventory decline won't be fully known until the industrial production numbers are released next month.

Key Factors

    * In all, the durable goods release was not as strong as the headline numbers suggest, and future growth still looks especially weak, given the volatility in the aircraft industry.

Big Picture

    * Durable goods orders trends were very weak in late 2008 and early 2009.  That reflected a collapse of confidence in the business sector and poor credit market conditions.  The rate of decline has eased and there has been some intermittent increases of late that suggest the worst of the downturn is over.  Still, the business investment outlook can be considered weak.


9:55 a.m. University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index

    * Importance (A-F): This release merits a B-.
    * Source: The University of Michigan.
    * Release Time: Preliminary: 10 a.m. on the second Friday of the month (data for current month); Final: 10 a.m. on the fourth Friday of the month (data for current month).

The Michigan index is almost identical to the Conference Board Consumer Confidence index, though there are two monthly releases, a preliminary and final reading. Like the Conference Board index, it has two subindexes -- expectations and current conditions. The expectations index is a component of the Conference Board's Leading Indicators index.

Highlights

    * The preliminary September reading of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment index came in well-above consensus (67.5) at 70.2. The reading in August was 65.7.

    * The current conditions portion of the index rose to 71.8 from 66.6.

    * The expected outlook increased to 69.2 from 65.0.

Key Factors

    * The stronger-than-expected reading shouldn't be too much of a surprise to the market. The index is highly correlated with positive/negative news reports from the media, and all the talk of the end of the recession over the last few weeks gave the consumer a feeling of relief that the economy is doing better.

    * Unfortunately, better consumer sentiment readings will probably not translate into increases in consumer spending. Income is the main driver for consumption expenditures and, as unemployment continues to creep higher, consumption growth is expected to remain low.

Big Picture

    * Sentiment readings are a reflection of a variety of events rather than an accurate tool for forecasting consumer spending.  Gas prices and political events can have an outsized impact on sentiment.  In general, these data are of very little economic value.
