Trader, seems you're about to miss out on an opportunity that could seriously boost your portfolio...

The chance to come out on top and make risk-reducing trades that boast big profit potential.

In the last couple of years, we undoubtedly saw a plethora of losses in many trading accounts...

It's bound to happen, and many traders were caught unprepared, and for options traders, it's even worse.

The strategy I've offered you to join for $265 off the standard price is the cover against the storm.

We've been quietly using this strategy ourselves and reducing our risk while scoring big wins...

Having the power to control your losses or even avoid them completely is how the biggest investors make out like bandits no matter what the market is doing...

These investors are never caught unprepared... they're always miles ahead, and in today's market this is the exact position you want to be in.

Vertical Options Trader provides you with all of that and more...

More? Yes, more!

With our "spread" strategy we use in Vertical Options Trader; you get the best of both worlds.

What do I mean?

In addition to all I've said above, this strategy also allows you to profit from short-term market movements.

And these are not just ordinary gains, these are massive triple-digit gains from the slightest move an underlying stock makes... this is why we had to cap the number of new subscribers we admitted into Vertical Options Trader.

The demand was almost unmanageable.

A two-sided strategy that both protects your portfolio from losses and allows you to rake up gains from the slightest movement from the underlying stock ...

This is exactly what options traders mean when they imagine the "good life."

You too have the chance to enjoy ALL of this...

In the message I sent earlier today, I told you about how we still had a few spots left for this incredible service... and it turns out the 'fastest fingers' were able to snatch those spots up.

While it might sound like all hope is lost... there's still a little light at the end of the tunnel, but only if you act immediately.

Being a Vertical Options Trader subscriber comes with 3 - 5 trade recommendations each month, with every single trade recommendation targeting 100% gains... for this month, that's this Friday, June 21st.

Yes, all available spots have been filled, but the number of support tickets that hit our customer service team has been overwhelming...

So, it looks like a whole lot of you still wanted to get in, but something unforeseen had occurred, and I understand.

That's the reason we're doing something special for you right now, we're reactivating the link for another 5 hours, till midnight...

Giving you enough time to get in, but immediately once the clock strikes midnight, this is off the table for good. I will not be opening this up again, especially not for the ridiculous deal we're offering right now.

So, it's either you jump in right now and grab this 30-day trial or you rely on 'hope' to build your portfolio.

Current subscribers pay $295 every single month to be part of this service, but for today only you can subscribe with a one-time fee of $30.

That's all you'll need to pay to give this strategy a test-drive…there is no long-term commitment.

Again, this expires at exactly midnight, it's either you get in now or you miss out entirely.

Trader, Here's a Portfolio Loss Protection Plan

If you've tried to buy calls and puts to speculate on a stock's direction, you may have found it sounds much easier than it really is.

And in a market like we're seeing now, it has proven to be even harder.

But not to worry... there's nothing wrong with you.

Many people have felt this way and experienced similar struggles, but there are ways to control risk, reduce losses, and increase the likelihood of success when trading calls and puts.

In addition to that, making triple-digit gains.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, to a lot of traders, yes...until we did it here at Schaeffer's Investment Research.

You see, at the beginning of this year we accepted another handful of selected options traders into our service created around this idea of "little to no risk and maximum reward."

And looking back at the first half so far... the results have been better than expected.

Proving one thing...

Growing a portfolio steadily with minimal risk while still maximizing profits is in fact possible.

We've done it, and now we want to bring in another small set of investors to see how our "spread" strategy can change the way they trade for good.

Before I go any further, here are two recent winners' subscribers to Vertical Options Trader has seen in 2024 so far: 485% GAIN on MARA and 339% GAIN on DELL. Subscribers saw nearly 6x and 4x profits on just TWO TRADE IDEAS!

And these were happening right in the middle of market chaos, using a strategy that a lot of options traders are totally unaware of.

As you may know, I have over 4 decades of personal experience trading the options market, seeing, and trading different market trends and variations...and the next few weeks are about to be unheard of, especially for traders using our "spread" strategy.

And the best part of this strategy is it works regardless of the direction of the market.

It's solely built around this lesser-known strategy.

So, whether an underlying stock price is trending down or trending upwards, this strategy is set so you profit big regardless.

In theory, it doesn't matter precisely where the strike price is relative to the underlying stock, providing that the options that you write are cheaper than those that you buy.

The purpose here is basically to reduce your overall investment in owning specific options contracts and therefore limit any potential losses.

If the contracts, you have bought expire out-of-the-money and are worthless then the contracts you have written will be worthless as well.

Making sure your losses are limited... regardless of which way the price of the underlying stock moves.

So, your loss will simply be the difference between the money you invested in buying and the money you recouped through selling, your losses cannot be a dime higher than that.

The ideal scenario that we optimize for Vertical Options Trader... is that the underlying stock moves only moderately in price.

Given the nature of the spread, the contracts you own may increase in value and enable you to make a profit while the contracts you have written never make it in the money and expire worthless: meaning you effectively profit on both aspects of the trade.

Do you see how this could be a game changer for how you trade options?

Maximum profit and limited risk... the dream of every options trader.

This strategy gives you several distinct advantages over other traders.

  1. They help with trade planning, as it's possible to predetermine the maximum potential loss and the maximum potential profit.
  2. The losses are effectively limited to your initial cost at the time of making the move.
  3. They don't require trading on margin and can therefore be used by traders who can't afford to risk too much.
  4. They can offer a greater return on investments than other strategies when there are moderate price movements.

With Vertical Options Trader, you're entitled to 3 - 5 profit-primed trade recommendations each month, and each recommendation will hit your inbox on the third Friday of each month.

You'll want to keep an eye out for that email because the moment the market opens, potential gains will be wasted.

This strategy works best when we have moderate price movement to the underlying stock... meaning every minute is a potential triple-digit gain.

Each recommendation comes with exact entry and exit parameters, so you know when and how to make your trades for maximum profits.

The trade recommendations also come with full technical commentary, so you'll know exactly what influenced our analysis of each trade and why we believe each one is set to be a big winner.

It's also important to state that all trade recommendations we send out in Vertical Options Trader target at least 100% gains.

We won't send you any trade recommendations we're not confident in. We supply easy-to-understand commentary to show you why we think each trade will pull in huge gains.

Meaning you can rest assured that you could double or even triple your money a few times each month.

It's the best of both worlds, and if you truly want to "play" the system successfully then you should be jumping in on this opportunity as fast as your hands can allow you.

Schaeffer's Investment Research has been providing traders just like you with the opportunity to profit for 43 years. That's over 4 decades of experience trading the market and we've developed a sixth sense to know exactly when primetime is about to hit.

And with the "spread" strategy we use for Vertical Options Traders, the next few months could be primetime... meaning, this strategy is set for massive profits.

As an options trader, there's never been a better time to start implementing an effective strategy such as this.

Right now, as I write this email, Vertical Options Trader currently retails for $295 per month.

And as you've seen, even at that price, it is still a very reasonable fee for the kinds of gains subscribers are making.

Just one trade as a Vertical Options Trader subscriber could effectively pay for your entire subscription fee... everything from that point on is pure profits you could take to the bank.

But because I believe this will take your portfolio to a new level, I'm offering you a deal that's hard to refuse...

Instead of the standard $295 subscription fee, for the next couple of hours only, you get to be a part of Vertical Options Trader for just $30.

That's a savings of $265... a significant reduction on the actual price.

And this is not an auto-charge offer. Once the 3-5 June trades play out, you can cash out and walk away… or just contact us for a longer-term subscription.

Incredible, right? I know... But we're only accepting a handful of new subscribers and you have until midnight to jump in.

Although there is significant profit potential associated with buying options, there is also the risk of losing one's entire investment in any individual trade. In any option buying approach, it is expected that losing trades will be more numerous than winning trades. The goal is for the average gain to be significantly greater than the average loss so that the bottom line is profitable. Prior to purchase, ensure that you have a broker that allows the trading of options and that you are approved to trade options.

Doc Eifrig's 'favorite stat'... He says the truth is it doesn't matter... How to profit from the fear... A real-money demo with a pro golfer... The latest on the economy and 'Fed speak'... Investor Hour: Alex Epstein...


Let's talk about politics...

No, I (Corey McLaughlin) am not here to preach about one side or the other.

But the other day, my colleague and Stansberry Research senior partner Dr. David "Doc" Eifrig shared his "favorite stat" about politics and the markets with readers of his free Health & Wealth Bulletin... And I don't want you to miss it.

In the same issue, Doc said he doesn't blame anyone for feeling so much uneasiness about the upcoming election in November... but explained that it can actually play out in your favor. All it takes is his favorite options-trading strategy, which we've talked about here the past few days.

Fear sparks volatility in the markets. And volatility is perfect for this strategy.

As Doc revealed in a Masters Series essay on Sunday, his strategy focuses on selling options, specifically "covered calls" and "puts" to other traders who are nervous about what might be ahead.

Without further ado, we continue today's edition with Doc in his own words... and I'll pick things up when he's done with some other reporting on the markets...

I (Doc Eifrig) learned long ago that political talk doesn't belong in my newsletters...

The fastest way to cut engagement would be to bring up my own political views.

But the 2024 presidential election is just months away. It would be irresponsible of me to pretend otherwise.

You see, pundits love to explore whether stock markets do better under Democratic or Republican leadership. You may have had this debate with friends or family as well.

You may not want to hear this, but the truth is... it doesn't matter...

Depending on your leanings and how you count or how far back you look, you could get different answers. Not to mention, each president inherits a different economy from his predecessor. Shouldn't you adjust for that? And by how much?

Here's my favorite stat... Since 1926, the U.S. has had 13 years of unified Republican government (with the GOP simultaneously holding the House, Senate, and presidency). In those years, the market returned an average of 14.52% per year. There have also been 34 years of unified Democratic government. In those years, the market returned an average of... 14.52%.

The machinations of the Federal Reserve, the economy, and the thousands of businesses and millions of individuals wash out most of the effects a president might have on the stock market. Sometimes, something like a big tax cut can boost stocks, but that's a rarity.

We will forgive you if this election feels more important than others... The world feels more polarized, and the parties seem further apart than they have been in a long time – even more than they did back in 2020.

While we wish the country would be unified and rally together on many topics like less government and more freedom, we know turmoil will continue in the months to come. Republicans are worried about what will happen if Joe Biden is reelected. Democrats are worried about Donald Trump returning to the White House. And projections tell us that this race will be as tight as it gets.

Uncertainty and fear are everywhere... But if you've been following my Retirement Trader strategy, you couldn't be more excited. The upcoming election is giving us a tremendous opportunity for profits in the months to come.

Now, we know what you might be thinking...

Options are too complicated and too risky. But I've taught thousands of folks how to use options to safely generate income.

To prove that anyone can sell options, I flew all the way down to South Carolina to teach (Stansberry Research-sponsored) professional golfer Kevin Kisner all about this strategy.

In a special video, I walked Kevin through the basics of how to make these types of trades. And I even got him to put his money to work with his very first trade. (It's off to a great start already.)

Kisner can drive the golf ball a mile. You've probably seen him in contention at PGA Tour tournaments. And now, with the tools I gave him, he can collect hundreds and thousands of dollars of income each month.

Click here to watch my sit-down demo with Kevin now.

Give it a shot...

Corey here again... If you're interested at all in generating extra income, as Doc mentioned – and profiting from other folks' fears (or maybe even protecting against your own) – consider giving Doc's options strategy a try...

Since launching the service for subscribers in 2010, he has posted a 94% win rate, recently went on a personal-best 200-plus-trade win streak, and has delivered around a 20% annualized return since 2020.

This recent run spanned the end of a bull market... a bear market... and the past year's turbulent stretch of stocks going up, down, and up again... And Doc is confident his strategy will continue to pay off. It will only be helped if volatility picks up over the rest of 2024 – because of the election or anything else.

Check out Doc's demo with Kevin Kisner for more information. I will also mention ahead of time that the only "drawback" is that, as Doc points out, you need a decent chunk of capital to put toward this strategy to get started. He explains all about that in the presentation.

Before we go, here's the latest in data and Fed speak...

Today, retail-sales data from the U.S. Department of Commerce showed 0.1% growth in May. That's less than mainstream economists expected, though sales were still up 2.3% year over year. One could take this as an incremental data point in favor of the idea of a slowing economy and the "Fed rate cut" trade.

If retail sales slow further and the unemployment rate continues to tick higher while the pace of inflation levels off or eases (though it's still high, yes), the central bank will be inclined to cut the federal-funds rate – "eventually," as we wrote last week.

In last Wednesday's edition – the day of the most recent Federal Reserve policy announcements – we wrote about the latest projections from Fed members. Most of its 19 committee members project one or two rate cuts by the end of the year.

Yesterday, we heard from one of them – Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker, who spoke at a Fed-hosted event – and he reiterated that messaging. He said, "If all of it happens to be as forecasted, I think one rate cut would be appropriate by year's end."

However, as we know, things don't always go as forecast – in fact, they usually don't when it comes to Fed projections. To that point, Harker left open the possibility of revising his stance and said he could also see "two cuts, or none, for this year."

This afternoon, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said he was relieved about last week's inflation-data release – the consumer price index for May – but would like to see "more months" of similar data suggesting easing inflation before the Fed cuts rates.

A multitude of Fed folks are speaking at events this week. We'll keep tabs on anything more that's notable to share. As for the market action today, after the retail-sales data this morning, fed-funds futures traders slightly bumped up expectations for one or two cuts this year.

The major U.S. stock indexes leaned slightly higher much of the day, bond yields were a touch lower, and gold and oil prices went slightly higher.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan Ferris and I talk with Alex Epstein, author of Fossil Future. Alex describes his "human flourishing" framework when thinking about climate – and why folks should consider that the benefits of using fossil fuels far outweigh the negatives...
