All Star of the Month
Well, its that time of the month again.
It is time to announce the new All Star of the Month Award winner.
If you are not familiar, every month traders in the All Star Membership Site compete for the title.
Traders from every walk of life and all around the world, placed their trades and watched profits soar as the Market continued in unpredictable volatility.
As usual, the competition was fierce and ended in a very close race.
I want to take a moment to congratulate David Barrere, the winner of the top spot in September.
I never cease to be amazed at how many different type of people utilize this strategy.
You definitely want to read about this guy… someone who is super successful and super busy, yet still made the time to learn this powerful information.
Here is a snapshot of what he had to say:
Jeff,
I am an Ob/Gyn in Cincinnati and my wife stays home to take care of the kids. While I make a very good living and can provide for my family, I wanted more for them. My success in my profession comes at a steep price: late night runs to the hospital for deliveries, long hours in the office, and weekends making rounds cost me a lot of time with my family. 

I wanted more for me as well.
Two years ago, I was watching television and an info-mercial advertising a course on options was on. I had heard the term options before, but had absolutely no clue what they were.
I was intrigued by the possibility of earning more than the standard “stock buy and sell” offered. I attended the class, studied the materials, and quickly began trading.
At first, I bought calls and puts as my sole strategy. Frankly, I didn’t think I learned enough at my course to do the “more complex trades”.
Overall, I did alright, but I did get burned a few times. So, I started looking into strategies that would offer a higher success rate with less risk.
Selling covered calls was my next maneuver. While it sounded like a good strategy, I realized that I needed to own several hundred or even a thousand shares of stock to make a decent income.
At the time, I didn’t have a portfolio of thousands of stocks.
Time to rethink.
Time to relearn.
Time to reload.
I stopped trading for a few months; went through my course materials and focused on credit spreads.
My course gave only a cursory view of spreads. I needed more.
So, I flew to New York for a course on credit spreads. I learned more about credit spreads than I knew before. I didn’t feel that I had learned enough.
In fact, I felt that I was taught one particular traders way, and not the fundamental building blocks of success. After returning home, I hit the internet and after looking through a few sites, I subscribed to an online service that gives “tips” on what spreads to buy.
Sure, it worked out, but I had no idea how it was working or why these spreads 
were chosen. It was blind faith.
I needed to learn the strategy myself and learn it well.I was convinced this was a way for me to change my life.
I came across Jeff’s course one weekend and watched the intro video about 10 times. I saw a man who had the same wishes and wants for his family and accomplished those things.
My commute to an office or a hospital is at least 20 minutes – Jeff’s 15 seconds from the pool to the “war room” struck a chord.
My steady income from credit spreads and iron condors has opened up new possibilities for my family and me. Private school tuition for two kids is suddenly in the budget.
Two very nice vacations each year, as well as other short trips, are in the budget. The new income source has changed my life.
Sounds hokey, but is 100% fact.
I have some goals I’ve set for the near future. While I don’t see myself giving up on medicine entirely, I do see myself slowing down to enjoy my family.
I don’t want to keep missing my son’s soccer practice and games. My daughter will start ballet lessons next year and I want to be there and not just told how cute she looked. I coached my son’s tee ball team this past spring, and loved every second of it. I want to continue. I want more.
As my children get older, I plan on introducing options trading to both of them. I do want them to get a good education and go to college.
But I want them to have this valuable knowledge too. I have some time though: Graeme is 6 and Ashleigh is 2.
By the time they graduate high school, I anticipate them being very active options traders.
Jeff, I owe you an enormous debt of gratitude. I’ve spent the past dozen years in a teaching capacity with young resident physicians.
Now I have returned to being a student and I love it. Thank you for being my teacher.
David M. Barrere, M.D.
JAZ: Wow. Thanks for sharing your inspiring story with the entire tribe.
First, I have to say a big congratulations for winning the award!
Considering you have only been trading credit spreads for several months, and you outperformed many traders on Wall Street, your abilities are commendable.
But more commendable is the WHY that got you into trading in the first place.
You realized that your comfortable life was pulling you away from what you really wanted..
What was really important to you. And you decided to make a massive change…
You allowed your passion for your family to drive you to learn something completely new, yet with massive potential.
I am glad the risk has paid off and I am thrilled that you are learning not just what to do, but why we do it.
I also get pumped when I hear about folks just like you planning on passing this hidden gem strategy down to the next generation!
Congratulations on becoming the All Star of the Month!
Congratulations on pulling a great return!
Most importantly, congratulations on believing in in your own potential to create and develop a better life for yourself!
Your Apple TV is on its way… Enjoy!
Remember, All Stars are made not born.
