Stock trading has been one of the primary investing vehicles of the great majority of the public to generate wealth. Most people would have at least bought a stock or two in their lifetime. The truth is most people lost money; some lost a great deal, primarily because of the lack of understanding of the financial market and the wrong psychology of trading.

It is our mission to provide education and resources in this important aspect of wealth management with the sole purpose of seeing the general improvement of investment understanding and of the financial wellbeing of the investing community. To this end, we aim to educate, recommend tools, provide resources, research new ideas, and provide solid support to users of our products and services.
 


Option as an investment medium has been a great myth to many uninformed investors. The perception that it is highly risky transcended all minds of investors from real estate to stock and from retailed to institutional. Many do not realize that it was not the financial medium per se that's risky but the approach that makes it risky. Take fire as an example. While use correctly, it generates warmth, cooks our food, and performs other beneficial functions. Some people who are careless and misuse it would find their property, home and family destroyed.

Our approach to option investment is similar. We do not play with fire. Hence, we don't trade option the way we normally trade stock. We discovered that there is a more profitable, less stressful way of trading option - i.e., the "write" way.

Option writing is a selling approach. While buying is the favorites of neophytes, selling has an added advantage of the time value decay working in sellers' favor. This trading edge gives rise to the advantage of being directionally neutral. As we discovered that 70-90% of all options expired worthless, it makes sense to sell them.
