Given Up On the Stock Market? Most Have - And That's a BIG Retirement Mistake

While close to 70% of the public has sworn off investing in stocks, contrarians are riding stocks to record highs. My job is to show you how to beat Wall Street at its own game...and it's really not hard when you know the game better than they do.  

The question you need to ask yourself is; "will I be able to retire if I choose NOT to invest in stocks?"

From February 12, 2014 to today (2/18/15), the VRA has produced total gains of +1234% (net of losses).  This means that an investment of $10,000 would be worth roughly $123,400…in one years time…had you followed the VRA’s Buy and Sell Recommendations.

And yes, this makes the VRA the #1 Investment Newsletter in the country.

As good as this number may be…it’s also the past. And I know what you know…all that matters from this point on are the profits that we make in the future.

*AS A SERIOUS INVESTOR, READ, REMEMBER, AND SAVE THIS UPDATE – IT WILL SERVE AS YOUR ROADMAP TO FUTURE PROFITS WITH THE VRA

How Did We Achieve These Returns…and More Importantly, How Do We Repeat Them in 2015 and Beyond

Capitalizing on the VRA - A Breakdown of the Statistics: 

Since 2/12/14 there have been 22 trades in total, with 16 winners and 6 losers; for a success rate of 72% (this success rate “should” have been 82%...keep reading for the reason why) 

The 16 profitable trades produced a total return of 1526%, for an average profit of 95.37% per position.

Here’s the explanation of why the VRA success rate should have been 82% (instead of 72%), along with another 400% + in gains.

There were two truly frustrating trades during this time frame. Trades that turned major profits into losses – a situation that will never be allowed to take place again at the VRA.

For example, not once, but TWICE, we had gains of more than 100% in NUGT calls…only to have them expire when the miners fell like a knife through hot butter in the second half of 2014.

Frustrating trade #2. We had a gain of more than 280% in Yahoo Calls…then the stock market fell close to 10% in a month, taking tech stocks down hard with it. Our Yahoo calls expired as well.

I “re-learned” a most valuable lesson from these two nightmare trades…I only wish for all of our sake that I had adopted the following policy to begin with; when we achieve a 100% profit in a trade, we sell half of the position and lock in the gain. Then, we are investing with house money…and regardless of what happens, we cannot lose…as we have removed our initial investment.  The VRA will NEVER make this mistake again…as evidenced by our recent trades in RUSL (3 x Russia ETF) and RUSL Calls, where we booked 420% in total gains in under a month.

*URGENT VRA STRATEGY POINTS*

POINT ONE: VRA Subscribers should take special note of the benefits of investing in stock options. Some of our biggest gains came from options trades, and going forward, this will likely continue to be the case. This is the personality of the stock market today, and smart money investors are taking this exact action.

If you have never invested using options…or if you have either failed at it, or simply don’t fully understand it, let me break it down for you as simply as I can. In today’s volatile and ever changing investment environment, options investing is a near requirement for achieving huge, market beating returns.

In addition, the VRA Trading and Investing System thrives in the exact investment environment that we are in now, making options a most powerful friend of ours. 

POINT TWO: I have written extensively about the VRA Trading and Investing System, and I encourage you to go back through the VRA Archived Updates (in your Members Section) to get a better idea of exactly what it is and how it works. Bottom line; over my 30 years as an investor and financial analyst I have fine-tuned everything that I have learned…both from fundamental and technical analysis…and combined this with the benefit of having actually done this for 30 years. There’s no replacement for the knowledge that comes from experience…three decades of it…especially when that experience comes from every side of the industry/profession (15 years ON Wall Street combined with 15 years OFF Wall Street). 

Make no mistake about it…the VRA Trading and Investing System is an extension of everything I’ve learned over my 30 years. I don’t issue a Buy Rec or a Sell Rec without using it, and maybe most importantly…as they say…the proofs in the pudding.

If you’ve been with the VRA for a while, you know the only thing that really matters…the VRA T&I System works. 

Now…let’s get back to investing using options. 

*THE SIMPLE KEYS TO OPTIONS INVESTING – VRA STYLE

First, know that when it comes to options, I keep things very, very simple.

I only use options in two ways. I either recommend “call options” or I recommend “put options”. That’s it…nothing elaborate or complicated. 

Options investing gives investors a great deal of leverage. For a much smaller amount of money than would normally be the case, we can invest in options and have the potential for much larger gains than from using stocks alone (assuming we invested the same amount of money in stocks). 

And, like stocks, you can only lose what you invest…and nothing more (don’t confuse “options” with “futures”…in futures, you can lose much more than you invest).

Investing using options (buying calls or puts) is really no different than investing in stocks. The mechanics are the same…buy low and sell high. 

Here’s EXACTLY how the VRA invests with options (calls and puts); 

Call Options: If I believe that a particular stock or ETF (exchange traded fund) is going to go UP in price, I may recommend that you buy Calls on that particular investment.  That’s it…I told you it was simple.

Again, just like stocks, we want to “buy low and sell high”, so our goal is to buy Calls low…and then sell them at a higher price…when its time to take profits.

That’s it…if you make it any more complicated than this, then you aren’t following the VRA method of options investing. 

Put Options: Puts are just the opposite of Calls. If I believe that a particular investment will go DOWN in price, I may recommend the purchase of Put Options. Again, our goal is to buy the Puts when they are cheap, and then sell them when we are ready to take profits.

And remember, with every VRA options recommendation, I will tell you exactly when to buy and exactly when to sell…along with the strategy behind the idea. 

Finally, opening an Options Account is a simple process. Simply login to your Brokerage Account…or pick up the phone and call them…and start the process. It’s painless and shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

When opening your options account, remember this most important point. All you want to do is; Buy Calls and Buy Puts…and of course sell them when we are ready to take profits. There will be several different “options approvals” that your brokerage firm will offer you, and you only need to select the FIRST option they make available to you; this is a BASIC options account…and you will never need anything beyond this.

This last year provided VRA Subscribers with the opportunity for outstanding profits. This VRA Update…as much as any update I have issued…will help to ensure that you are perfectly positioned to repeat these gains going forward.

Until next time, thanks again for reading.
