"Using a Simple Option Strategy On One Stock
I Exited These Positions With a P&L Around
+56K in Cash"

"Using a simple option strategy on one stock, I made over 3K one day, and over 52K then next. I exited these positions with a P&L around +56K in cash.

"This is far more than I ever made in an entire year trading mutual funds, stocks or options previously.

"I attribute this success to the knowledge and confidence I gained Ron Ianieri's instruction and his "Options Mastery" course. This class gave me the quiet confidence and the ability to enter and exit the position with the necessary precision to make a successful trade when it really counted. I am very grateful to Ron, his staff and some of the special guests he has introduced.

"I wish I had started with Options U first thing as I entered this field. And I have made some foolish trades that had caused mounting losses. Faced with the reality that P&L was solely my responsibility. I knew I must acquire ALL the info and skills I can, as quickly as I can.

"Options are far more complex to trade than mutual funds or stocks, so you need to find the best guy you can to get you on the right track.

"I have listened to lots of training presentations live and on the web and I would rate Ron Ianieri as number One by a long shot. Not only is his delivery consistently better than any other I have seen, he knows more and shows more that any other. The content of the Options Mastery class is many times more complete and they have the only effective way to deliver it.

"No one can possibly get equal to or more than what Ron delivers in his class by signing up for series of 3 day stand-up classes by the other groups out there. It will not happen. Besides skipping important stuff (to make room for introductions, breaks and other distractions), they spend way too much time on selling you the next class or proprietary software product (oh, and if you buy the products you must take another $$ class to use it effectively).

Ron avoids the sales pitches and delivers the goods you signed up for. Ron goes deeply into option mechanics and is able to prove mathematically how every thing he says is true. I've never before seen anyone able to pull off something like this, I certainly never expected it, the man is remarkable.

"Other training outfits offer glib explanations and convince you that you don't need to know the real deal, just take their shortcut strategies. Soon you realize there are 2 kinds of options traders, the ones that know the mechanics and the ones that barely know some rote strategies.

"Ron teaches a better way to manage your trade when it goes in another direction. It is called morphing and he covers it in the Options Mastery class.

"What I learned from Ron has allowed me to not just pull off a great Trade but erase all my previous option trading mistakes. This is a life changing event for me knowing my perseverance has paid off. And the move to Options University has really paid off!

"If you want to learn options, know it will take some time. Listen to the man who makes Options come alive. When Ron Ianieri talks, people listen. He has an expressive style and spark that grabs your attention.

"Ron is becoming a star in his own right due to his natural talent as a
communicator, his earnestness and his technical leadership.

 "I am Happy to Recommend Options University to Any and All Who Would Like to Learn ALL of the Essential Components to Trade Options Successfully and at a Fair Value."

"I have recommended the services of Options University to others base upon what I believe to be a very straight-forward, comprehensive, and not overly-expensive education in learning to trade options. I have spent a whole lot more money to learn what I know, and there are still gaps in my understanding of the right way to play options.

"I gave up and moved to the futures market. I learned trading from [Another Company], and with them I had to keep paying more and more to find out some really basic and necessary things about trading options such as volatility, proper money management, and some kind of understanding of the Greeks.

"They just barely touched on the subject of synthetics, and only then in a 4 day class on advanced options. And they never taught about managing / hedging with delta neutral positions.

"An acquaintance recently asked me if I would recommend this 'other company' and I suggested that they would get a better education for a whole lot less money by contacting Options University. I'm not sure if this person ever did look into your education.

"At any rate, I am happy to recommend Options University to any and all who would like to learn ALL of the essential components to trade options successfully and at a fair value.

"Now I am Feeling Relaxed and Not Apprehensive About Opening My Account Page to See Where My Balance is. This Feeling Alone is Invaluable.


"This knowledge is about how to best strategize an opportunity once that has been identified. That would include: option theory, pricing models, dynamics and sensitivities of a position, behavior of that position with movement, knowing the construction of the trade with the least amount of risk, the best sister trade, the opposite trade, the synthetics, morphing and adjusting, extending profits, most cost efficient way to enter and exit, where the arb opportunities would be, how to flatten, defensive actions, the best margins, the best brokers and you may not believe it, but much more. 

Actual Trading Activity:

"Theory and education is great but being live in a dynamic fast moving market challenges the academic. "the proof is and the pudding".

"Recently on Monday November 27th 2006 , the day after Black Friday, the biggest retail weekend of the year, and the beginning of the Santa Claus rally and in the so-called middle of a bull rally, the markets decided to take a nasty crash. The NASDAQ plunged 54 points and the Dow down 158, S&P down 19 all in one day. Most long traders would be having a real bad day.

"Previous to Monday on the close of Friday I had open, 9 trades. The trades are real, they are multi-legged option contracts for a hundred shares each of $50 stocks. The total value of the underling contracts is an excess of $30,000 ($50 x100 and $65, $35,$17,$42,$ 49 $44 all x 100 shares). I am hedging 100 short share against 100 long share for smaller risk . I am leveraging the bigger movements of a larger amount with a smaller amount and limiting my risk.

My maximum risk is for the debits only, and the difference between the strikes. The total is less than $800. This amount is also hedged to some degree by the opposite sides of the same trade, spread out in time, buying the back month and selling the front month. Two of the trades are a collar, and a conversion which I will not spend time on here.

"Now I am feeling relaxed and not apprehensive about opening my account page to see where my balance is. This feeling alone is invaluable.

"I Took One More Chance and Upon Listening to the First CD I Knew I Had Found What I was Looking For. Ron is an Excellent Teacher."

"I'm one of those people who fell for the claims of advisers promising 100% winning option trades if I followed their advice, which included selling naked options to collect premium and buying "cheap" out of the money calls and puts.

"One adviser even went so far as to say that 'the Greeks are not important and that "anyone who talks about them probably doesn't know what they are talking about." After discovering that my broker couldn't explain why the stock went up but my option lost money, I was about to give up on the idea of options forever. That's when Ron's initial Options Mastery Series came on the scene.

"I took one more chance and upon listening to the first CD I knew I had found what I was looking for. Ron is an excellent teacher. He explains everything clearly and thoroughly. I gained an appreciation of options as a beautiful tool that requires knowledge and skill to be used effectively, and Ron's course provides that. I have taken time out from trading to learn some technical analysis so I won’t be able to claim that I've made a lot of money. But I'm certain that I've saved thousands of dollars by avoiding bad trades.

"Another Thing I Love About Options University is Their Commitment to Educate You and Help You to Succeed as a Trader."

"I'm not really sure where to start but since I have so much experience with the education process and instructors I guess this is as good as any to place to start.

"Good instructors are like sunshine, they provide the light necessary for the plant to thrive and Ron is very intense sunshine that inspires you to put that work in as well as lighting up those dark or murky ideas you of which don't have a firm grasp or understanding.

"You can tell when he is teaching that Ron loves what he is doing and he really wants you to catch his enthusiasm.

"I have taken courses that teach options, and paid more, for less in return. Not only that, but have been given poor strategy techniques that resulted in my trades losing money, even though I picked a stock going in the right direction or them not giving me the knowledge to realize the full potential risks of the trades. All because of buying the wrong option or using a strategy and not realizing the full potential downside.

"Now I know which option or strategy to pick, but more importantly, why the options I picked in the past were wrong, and now I know the full potential downside to the strategy. I needed a better understanding of the Greeks and the full downside to the trades, and Ron gave that to me. I now only have to worry about which strategy to use given the trading situation.

"Another thing I love about Options university is their commitment to educate you and help you to succeed as a trader. I have taken the Options Mastery course and have learned a great deal about trading options, but realized through the help and insight of Ron and Bill, that there is a lot more to being a successful trader then just knowing how to trade options."

"The Mere Fact of Learning That Options Should Be Purchased With a Delta of 80-85%, Already Paid For the Whole Course, Irrespective of Future Tips!"

"I have already mentioned that the mere fact of learning that options should be purchased with a delta of 80-85%, already paid for the whole course, irrespective of future tips!

"Needless to say, you cannot guarantee that a student of yours will make money. However, if after attending your masterful presentations one does not make money, it can only be attributed to the student's inherent stupidity.

"I'm Really Impressed With 'The Options Mastery Series' That I bought, and Look Forward to the NEW and Improved Version."

"I just finished viewing the first sample module. Here is my impression...

"I was impressed! Ron teaches well by hammering home the points he shows in the covered call/buy-write strategy. He tell us why to use the covered call. Income generation, profiting from stagnation, increasing the probability of profit. Generating income by holding the stock and selling an equal amount of calls. Then he goes on to explain how to use the covered call to profit in a slow stock uptrend move.

"A synthetic short put is a strategy that looks for a rapid drop in the
stock thereby making profit. Premium collection is the point of this strategy.

"Ron concludes with how to trade a covered call by adjusting and finally
closing the position.

"All in all this is an education that we can't pass up. This [course] is definitely a buy and hold. Ron teaches us how to fish; and if you teach your children what Ron has shown us, then they too will know how to make a living from the market.

"This module is clear from the beginning; it is so simple a concept that it will bare a repeat before it all sinks in.

"Thank you and Ron for the eye opening Options University. I've learned things that I thought I knew but didn't know I didn't know.

"I Started Out With a $1,500 Account As a Result of Some Poor Training By the "Other Guys" and Now Have An $9,000 Account."

"I bought my copy of the Mastery Series last January and have been reviewing it regularly. If all of the volumes of the new series are structured as this new one, then I applaud your team for a job well-done.

"I particularly like having the feature of being able to pick a chapter and be able to bounce around as the need arises. In the original series, I had to jot down the time stamp on a sticky-note and fast-forward or restart the video if I wanted to see an example again. The sticky-notes became a real nuisance.

"I have owned the Options Mastery Series for almost a year now, and have not had any $56,000 trades yet. What I have had is a steady winning track record of small trades. I started out with a $1,500 account as a result of some poor training by the "Other Guys" and now have an $9,000 account.

This I consider not bad for just six months of active trading. It took me six months to really become comfortable with the wealth of information Ron was feeding me. It was only after that "I believe I can do this" feeling that I started to make those first small trades (one to three contracts) at first. Well, the strategies Ron taught really worked!
 
"I believe now that there is no limit to what I can accomplish given I stick to
what I have learned. If you truly want to become successful at trading options,
then Ron's course is the one you should invest your money and time into."

"You Have Not Only Taught Me the Upside Potential But Have Given Me a Better Understanding of the Risks That are Involved"

"Ron,

"I have taken other courses and have purchased various educational tools but none have compared to the way you explain how options work. You have not only taught me the upside potential but have given me a better understanding of the risks that are involved and more importantly how to hedge that risk to limit my losses. I could certainly have used this knowledge a few years ago when I got started.

"Even though I do not trade the "butterfly and condors", I feel that when that time comes you have provided me with the foundation or should I say imbedded the foundation in me to make those strategies very easy to pick up.

"You are as we say in Boston "a straight shooter" and a great educator. Keep up the good work. "

I Now Have a Solid Foundation, of Knowledge and Understanding, Upon Which I Can Be Successful Trading Options.

"Ron has the ability to TEACH his knowledge of Options so that anyone can and will UNDERSTAND.

"Ron can answer any "What If" question, and he doesn't ask you to take his word on what he teaches. He can PROVE everything mathematically.

"Ron answers all questions, and is only satisfied if he is sure that the answer is understood. [He] is very personable, and his enthusiasm is contagious.

"I now have a solid foundation, of knowledge and understanding, upon which I can be successful trading options. "

Thanks Ron,

"Over the Last Few Days I Have Made More Than a Year's Income On 2 Options Positions"

Guys,

"I just had to update you on my recent results. Over the last few days I have made more than a year's income on 2 options positions. You know where I work and I am well into the 6 digits.

"When I say made, I mean taken off the table, net profits in my account. I am not talking about paper profits or paper trading profits. I attribute this amount of my success to OU.

"Why? It was through the excellent information I received in the Mastery class. First, I made some proper risk/reward calculations going into 2 trades. The trades in particular are RIMM and PCLN. Once I knew I wanted to be in these trades I constructed them properly using Ron's methodology.

"Once in the trades I have made several trade adjustments pulling profit out each time. Even though the profits I have pulled out are outstanding, the best part is that I am still in the trades and have even more profits.

'I also attribute this success to Ron's methodology of fitting the best strategy to the situation. Most of what I see out there are people teaching a strategy then selling tools to seek out matching trades.

"This is reverse of what needs to be done and usually causes a person to force a trade. Ron teaches to assess the situation first, then fit the best options strategy to the situation. The result is that I know exactly why I went into trade, I knew exactly when to get out, and better still, how to manage and morph the trade for maximum profits as the trade unfolds.

"The only downside is that the profits are all in my Roth IRA. You know tax free. I can't spend it today but large tax free profits are large tax free profits!

"I hope to see you guys later this year. "

"Without the Options University Mastery Series I Would Not Have the Confidence to Roll Positions, or Plan for Possible Morphing Opportunities"

"Dear Ron,

"I would like to extend my personal thank you for your desire, your dedication and your due diligence in teaching options in a way I could understand. A way that provides the foundation to take my options trading to another level.

"Let's face reality. Without proper education of options I am a firm believer that the beginner and even the novice options trader will be short lived in the market. I for one do not desire to be an extinct options trader. That is why I chose to dedicate myself to learning options the Options University way - the right way.

"Prior to taking the Options Mastery class I knew what a call was. It was when the market called me for my money. Prior to taking the Options Mastery class I new what a put was. I was when I put my money to the market and not to my account.

"With my new found options skills have all my option trades been successful? No. Am I better tooled to know what went amiss so I can make better and more intelligent decisions in the future? An unequivocal yes. Without the Options University Mastery Series I would not have the confidence to roll positions, or plan for possible morphing opportunities of an options position if the stock moves against my original expectation.

"Thank you Ron and to the Options University team for providing the learning venue for me to continue my educational endeavor so I can confidently proceed to be a better options trader."

"Sincerely,

Hi Brett,

"I would like to address anyone who is thinking about or has an interest in trading options and I guess the best way to get my point across is with this metaphor which I think fits Ron's teachings.

"An exceptional wine does not need advertising, all you have to do is take a few sips and the wine will sell itself."

"The same is true with Ron's classes all anyone has to do is take the first few classes and one will appreciate the exceptional material and quality of information.

"From a very appreciative option trader (thanks Ron) "

Rita Vander Straeten.


I Will Never Trade a Stock Again...

"I used to be a stock trader like many other people and had heard that options provided the potential to make money no matter how the market was trading - up, down, sideways while limiting your risk. I wanted to learn all about options but from an experienced options trader who had the passion for teaching to trade options the right way - by first learning options. Ron Ianieri is the person whom you want to learn from.

"I attended Ron's Options Mastery Series through the Options University and can personally attest that Ron's extensive experience, patience, passion, and devotion for options and his students makes him an invaluable source for your options education. Ron makes learning options easy. He simplifies the more complex option strategies into layman's terms that makes learning easy and potentially profitable.

"I will never trade a stock again.

"It has done wonders for my trading and profitability. I now know what to expect beforehand when I apply an options strategy instead of just buying and selling options in the stock market hoping to obtain good results.

"Many thanks for all of your effort to pass along your knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for trading options."
