Credit Spread Trading Made Simple Review - Starting Blocks

Credit Spread Trading Made Simple - Disc 2 Starting Blocks is about Burn the Boats, the famous story about Cortez when he landed in Mexico to conquer the Aztecs with 550 men. Cortez order that the boats be burned to eliminate all escape by his men creating an environment in which if you were one of the men you had no choice but to move forward. Leaving no excuses the men had no alternative but to go forth and succeed. Now of course this program is not going to burn down your boat, but it does offer so much that it leaves you no excuses but to go forth and succeed.

This program continues to amaze me with all that is made available. Jeff believes in the same principle I do in keeping things simple - the KISS principle. Starting Blocks gives the beginning trader the tools necessary to make trading credit spreads as simple as possible. A tour of the membership site - OH did I mention the membership site?? Credit Spread Trading Made Simple comes with a membership site that includes information on Jeff’s trades, watchlists for both bullish stocks and bearish stocks, and a list of tools that leaves no reason to not know how to get started. It is so simple to use, it eliminates excuses for you not knowing how to do something. If you don’t know how to do something, problem solved… Jeff gives you his email address to ask any question you like and he points you in the direction of the answer or he creates another video to answer the question so that everyone can benefit because if you have the question someone else also has a similar question. Fantastic service - How can you lose when you have the man who created the system and has been using it successfully to provide his main source of income telling you step by step what he is doing and also answering questions you may have.

Credit Spread Trading Made Simple Starting Blocks also gives you information on how to use MSN Money to set up a watchlist of stocks and Investors Business Daily - he also provides you with a link to get 4 weeks of Investors Business Daily for free. And lastly he even goes through a small bit on setting up accounts at ThinkorSwim and OptionsXpress our favorite options brokers.

TRADING INDEX OPTIONS - Hedge Fund Strategies and Portfolio Protection

The CBOE has an event in several locations coming up in the next couple of months on trading index options. An options instructor will be going over strategies to use for trading index options such as credit spreads, debit spreads and diagonal spreads.

In their own words…

This seminar is for investors and traders who want to expand their knowledge of trading index options, strategy selection and volatility. Experienced instructors from The Options Institute at CBOE will discuss intermediate to advanced strategies in a ‘group-live’ format for all levels of investors, traders, and advisors.

It is definitely worth it to attend if you are in or near one of the 5 cities this will be presented. I am hoping to attend the Indianapolis event on December 2nd. Here is the link for more information - TRADING INDEX OPTIONS - Hedge Fund Strategies and Portfolio Protection

This event is also sponsored by Options Xpress.

The Stock Market has crashed - Now what?

The stock market has crashed now what? Obviously it depends, there are a lot of variables. If you are trading credit spreads then you do not worry you made money coming down and you’ll make money going back up. However what about your investments?

You may or may not know that I supplement my investments with credit spread trading. I use my monthly profits from my credit spread trading account as money to put into my investment account. Luckily I have been mostly in cash this past crash so I am not affected however what should I do now? Well I am still young and have over 20 years (traditionally) before I retire - so I should put my money back in! Right now is the time, when prices are low, I can gain 5 years, because they have not been this low in the past five years. Now is the time to buy.

And don’t take my word for it - here is another opinion that makes complete sense -

Stock Market: The Sky Is Falling And I Want My Mommy!

Here is an excerpt on what you should do -

#1 - DON’T PANIC!

Remain calm and level headed
Try not to base your financial decisions on emotions
Remember: There will be good days and bad days
Educate yourself about personal finances
Understand your own finances
Seek professional advice
Stay invested, if possible
Continue contributing to your retirement accounts, if possible

Very sound advice John!

Conservative Credit Spreads vs Credit Spread Trading Made Simple!

I am frequently asked what is the difference between my ebook How to trade Conservative Credit Spreads and Jeff Ziegler’s Credit Spread Trading Made Simple! system? Well the first thing I am going to tell you is that my ebook is $47 and his system is $997. So there better be a whole heck of a lot in difference between the two.

Jeff had a conference call today and if you missed it I am sorry because it was a good summary of how he trades and if you were on the call you would have found out that he trades very similar to how I trade. So why is his program so much more? Lets start out by telling you about my ebook - How to Trade Conservative Credit Spreads My ebook gives you step by step instructions on how I trade credit spreads. It gives a basic strategy with all the steps needed to make successful trades with a probability of success 80% of the time. It is a taste of credit spreads. When a trade goes wrong it gives the signal on when the trade is going bad and how to close the position. It gives the exact details on how to trade out of the money credit spreads in a 55 page ebook, with a couple examples included.

Jeff Ziegler’s Credit Spread Trading Made Simple! is MUCH more involved. It has a 40 page manual on the basics of trading credit spreads (Mine is better, but I’ll tell you how you can get mine for free), but this is where any similarity ends. His system has much more value as it also contains 6 DVD’s plus a 7th bonus DVD, a trading plan (a step by step method that Jeff uses for every trade), and a full month free to his exclusive membership site with more videos and more answers to any question about credit spread trading that you can think of. Also there are 4 other bonus DVD’s about Advanced Credit Spread Trading coming a month or so after the basic course to teach you even more about credit spread trading. This system has it all to make you the most proficient and successful credit spread trader you ever would want to be.

I have a copy of the system and for the next few days I will give you a summary of what is in each DVD. Obviously for copyright sake and ethical reasons I can not and will not give you all the gory details about his system. If you want to know more you will need to actually purchase the system and if you don’t like it, send it back..he has a 30 day 100% money back guarantee. Now may be the time to tell you how to get my ebook for free. I do not give a guarantee on my ebook for the simple fact that it is an ebook. It is electronic information. I can not get the book back from you it is impossible; however if you buy my book and then decide you need further information and purchase Credit Spread Trading Made Simple! from the link I provide in my ebook, provide me with the receipt from Credit Spread Trading Made Simple!, I will refund the $47 from my ebook. So you can get the best of both worlds, a better manual to go with his more detailed program.

So what is in DVD 1 from Credit Spread Trading Made Simple! ? Disc 1 is the introduction and the system starts off fantastic giving you the concept behind his trading and teaching philosophy. The main focus of the DVD is the option traders mindset. A fantastic foundation principle for not only successful option trading and credit spread trading but in all aspects of life. You need to start out with  the proper mindset for any task in order for the task to be successful and that is what this first DVD does. It presents the concepts in very easy to understand language and in a manner in which it is easy to follow.  The trading business is very similar to sports as Jeff says “The trading business is 90% mental and 10% mechanics.” and this first DVD gets your head on straight to learn the rest of the system and become a successful trader.

Look for a review of the next DVD - Disc 2 Starting Blocks - in the next couple of days. Within the next two weeks you will be wondering why you didn’t purchase the program now.
