First, I have to give DAL 88 Driver props for introducing me to Snider. I use it for my long term portfolio and I am very satisfied with the Method. I pick my own underlying, however. I think this is why I get a better return than 12% annualized. Mine has been 15%-18%. DAL 88 Driver will be shocked that I use some triple beta etf's for underlying. Still, because of the higher volatility, I am able to use them in conjunction with the "Method" very safely. I don't have anything in "winter." Knock on wood.

Snider got me interested in options and I started looking for more education. I ended up training for two years at Sheridan Options Mentoring in monthly non-directional income stategies (delta neutral trading). That's why I call myself "decoupled."

Second, Scambo1. You will find this interesting and right up your alley. Trastytrade.com. It's a daily web based program run by the founder of TOS. It's all about options trading. Cost's $45.00 annually. You can preview it after the show on the same day for free. As a member you get really sweet commission discounts at your favorite broker. He's all about the retail self-directed options trader. It's on from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m EST. It runs in a on demand loop the rest of the day. They archive it on the site if you miss it. A combination of stupid entertainment interspersed with great trading nuggets and education. Only an options trader could love it. The commercials are great and only make sense to an options trader. I've become a junkie. Plus, you can watch it on layover. He's a premium seller, credit spreads, debit spreads and the occasional iron condor.

Send me a pm with an email if your interested and I will send you my cheat sheet on how he trades.

That's how this deadzoner is decoupling from Mother D.

Ferd, welcome to the Retard club. You will really like the airplanes bells and whistles, just don't expect to actually fly the thing.

Yes, but you'll have a difficult time trying to pay it back on reserve. I went -27 hours after my daughter was born to cover some of the FMLA, taken me 22 months on reserve and I'm not back to zero yet.

Thanks Nasmo! Just hope I don't go to training till spring. A year in LA has thinned my blood out. :-)

<----is at the 1st Fighter Association reunion. Send money and alcohol. Also, thanks for the kind thoughts on going to the Big Bus.

DAL 88 Driver

Thanks, orvil. Glad I could help!

Hey, I am a little surprised about the "triple beta etf's" as Snider positions, but I'm glad it's working out for you. I'd like to know more about what you're doing. I've always stuck to Snider's rules because I trust them. But hey, you invented the airplane, so I wouldn't put it past you to invent an improved way to pick Snider Method positions!

Why do you need money when we're sending alcohol? More importantly, where should we send the booze?

I know three of the "newbies" that are coming in there (below you ts) pretty well. Unless something has changed, two of them will be commuting cross country and one from Florida. Maybe tsquares stories worked.

you say that now, but if you get into natco before December you can get the nwa training syllabus instead of the eQual castrated syllabus.
