Rebecca Laughlin says:
Invaluable information! Thanks so much! I was reading recently about implementing an S&P Collar where a call option is purchased for the same month as the put to cover the cost without coming out of pocket. I’m sure you are aware of this so I’m sure there is a good reason not to use this technique. Could you comment on this please?
-
Hello Rebecca,
Don’t you mean sell a call to bring in enough premium to offset the expense of purchasing the put option. If so, you have unlimited exposure to the upside if the Market moves against you.

Yes – I did mean to say “a call is sold” to offset the expense. Sorry for the faux pas. And I understand what you are saying about the upside unlimited exposure risk. It’s not worth it! Thanks for your reply. I pray all the best for you and your family.

Great video. Exactly how I’ve felt for months but could’ve not come up with the right words…..Of course Tony Robbins “nails it”. Thank You Jeff!!!
-
George, You’re welcome. Glad it was helpful. He articulates very well what not just you, but MANY people have felt.
Have a great day!

Stan – indeed!

Tami says:
Hey Jeff, This was a great reality check for me, thanks for posting. I hope you’ll follow up on your membership site with a refresher on protective strategies.

Hi Tami,
You’re welcome
Glad it was helpful. The message is so important, I think you and I… and every other person reading this… should share this short video with everyone we know (there is a little button called “Share This” and you can send it to others).As far as protective strategies go… after watching this video from Tony, I’ve decided I’m going to make a video showing exactly how someone could protect themselves from a sudden catastrophe. Then everyone who watches it can share it on Facebook and email to every friend they have so that no one is in the dark. I made a killing in the first collapse, and I plan on repeat performance if it happens again. Stay tuned…
Have a great day!

Tobe Carter says:
When you have a wealth of knowledge scattered in your brian sometimes seeing a clear path means using your time given to give. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
-
Tobe, no problem…

Thanks for the valuable things you bring to us! Are the optimists crying out that there will be no double dip wrong? It sure looks that way. I believe credit spread trading, done the right way, can be one of those valuable tools Tony was talking about! Maybe one of only a few available to the masses.

Jeff,
Thanks for the video – it certainly does sum up what we’ve been looking at in the membership site.
It’s a great feeling to be able to look ahead with confidence instead of fear, knowing that I’m positioned to do just fine if and when this downturn comes.
Thanks so much for all you do!
Best Regards,
Bill

Jeff,
In case you didn’t see this piece with Kyle Bass, it’s a must see (the second video is outstanding). He saves the best line for last: Q: “are you as negative now as you were in 2008?” A: “I’ll answer that with a question: how many problems have you solved by kicking them down the road?”
-
Rebecca, sure thing! Credit spreads, *traded correctly* indeed is a tool thats not just for protection… but also for profit… in these times.
Have a great day!
-
Bill, thanks for the comment. Its an amazing feeling to be able to look at the future with confidence… knowing that you have the necessary tools to consistently pull money from any market…. especially when everyone else is scared. Good job on applying this stuff, Bill!

Is a Crash Coming?...

Bruce Naman says:
Definitely believe we are in for continued down trend in the market or at best flat market.
Biggest concern for me is current government policy and the unknown over tax and health care effects going into future. -
Thanks for going over those 10 signals. The marketing going down has been on my mind a lot, it’s kind of scary keeping me in cash and or looking for things to short.
-
Hi Greg, no problem… glad they helped!
-
Bruce… It will indeed be very interesting to see what effect the health care bill has on the market!

Bill W says:
We need to remember we are only 38% of the global GDP now. Past indicators are not as reliable as before. The global market is may turn our market positive before we know it. Corporations are sitting on a mountain of cash. I can not turn on CNBC without hearing the words “double dip recession.” History has shown that after a massive run up in Gov debt the stock market started a major bull market. Investors are still putting large amount in bonds. Fear always takes your eye off good investments.

orest says:
Yes, don’t understand why it hasn’t come crashing down already. Read that the Fed is propping it up buying stock? Maybe some people think that equities are a store of value, but we are deflating now. Many companies flush with cash but also have record levels of debt too? Just watching every day and keep rolling puts to the next few months out, and spread trading the swing opportunities I guess. Scary times for us all.

Great Videos on a much needed subject. Thank you for making this available. It is greatly appreciated.
My pleasure Michelle…now help me spread the word and get this out to everyone before the thread breaks.
I did watch both of your videos yesterday, great presentation. Even for the novice investor you kept it short and sweet. “Puts 101″ if you will.
I have indeed sent your videos out to everyone I know. It should come as no surprise that most of the responses I have received deal with protecting Mutual Funds/401k’s. I have tried to explain as best as I can…some people are just scared to death of options! But it helps to use your wording…framing it as ‘insurance’.
The one common denominator that I am seeing is FEAR. People are scared Jeff…very scared. I’m in agreement with you…I think the market is heading south and I have used your guidance to protect myself. The average ‘guy on the street’ is going to get crushed.
Keep up the good work my friend and keep those videos coming. I study them like a college textbook.
Hey Marty,
Thanks for spreading the word about this.
Here are a few thoughts on FEAR.
Neither Fear nor Panic are strategies for success in any area of life. Getting a Proper education will part the clouds of uncertainty… and separate the Victors from the Victims.
Unfortunately, only 1% of investors that have exposure in the Market, will take the necessary steps to get the proper education that will enable them to profit from an ugly economy.
Hopefully, we won’t see another 2008… but if we do, YOU my friend, have taken the necessary steps to protect Your Financial House from Burning to the Ground.
That’s my hope for every person who reads this post. Become unshakable, unmoving, and unwavering…. no matter what tomorrow brings… because you have prepared yourself to be the Victor if this market melts down.
I wish you all the best,
Jeffrey Z
Hi Jeff
I’ve been a member of the All Stars site now for about 4 months and learnt heaps. It is indeed Credit Spreads made simple. Being very cautious and conservative in trading it suits my style just right.
I am not too sure about the market collapsing. Sure, the fundamentals stink but the market is driven by human sentiment and most of the Moms and Dads have long since gotten out. All that’s left are the big boys and they will manipulate the market to their own advantage. Maybe not following the crowd (popular opinion)could just be the way to go.
Dear Jeff:
I took your course last winter and quite enjoyed it. I have been a trader off and on for 30 years but spread trading was something I knew nothing about — only that it existed. You fixed that for me with great teaching skills, patience and marvelous insight. Now onto the reason I am writing.
I really got a lot out of the Tony Robbins tape — I have been short the NDX since June (many puts due to expire in Oct and Jan’11.)
Your tape on Tony Robbins clinched me decision on the market. Or course I use a lot of other indicators but it was the Robbins reasoning that did it for me. I also like your indicator on the ESCRI — You are a man who is at the top of his game.
Thanks for being there!
Erik
Hi Francois,
Well, we will just have to wait and see what the market does. But I want to be prepared for anything.
Glad you are apart of the site!
Jeff
Erik,
Absolutely. I am glad you got so much out of the Tony Robbins video. More importantly, I am glad it led you to take action…. which is key.
All the best,
Jeff
