The Greatest One Person Business in the World!

Can you imagine having your own business that makes serious money, and having a lot of fun doing it? What about an exciting business that has no employees to contend with, no business licenses, no social security taxes, no store or customers to worry about! Your average work day is three to eight hours and you never have to work weekends again!  Once started, you can easily set up shop anywhere you like!  And that’s not even the most exciting part... The most exciting part is the fact that you can literally make more money doing this than you ever have in your entire life!  What is required to learn this? Not much, but it is more than most people are willing to do. You see, most people are too negative to believe they could learn something as powerful and rewarding as this.  The fact is, most people won’t even try.  I've done quite a bit of traveling around the country and outside the U.S. as well,  What I've learned and observed with people living right here in the land of opportunity is down right startling!  There is so much opportunity and wealth available to ordinary people today who are willing to put forth an effort and sacrifice some time away from entertainment (TV!) that it is truly amazing!    We are living in the absolute best time for this business!  You'll see why as you read further.   However, the majority of people in the U.S. are missing out on their dreams because they are not willing to take control of their future.    Most people living right here in the land of opportunity are letting life control them rather than taking the bull by the horns, so to speak, and going after their dreams!   Don't let this happen to yourself, take advantages of the opportunities we have available in this time we are living in! 

Take Control of Your FUTURE Now!

Although this business requires no physical labor, no cold calling or fast-talking sales pitches, it does require a great deal of effort. The returns for your efforts can literally be as big as you can imagine. People have made millions and millions of dollars in this business, but like any other successful business, a lot of effort, persistence and sacrifice was made. If you are frightened by words like "work", "persistence", "effort" and "sacrifice" then you should know that this business is not about getting rich without hard work.  If you are not willing to work hard and apply yourself towards your goals, then you might want to put this down and read no further.   In addition, if taking risks frightens you, then you should also probably stop here and read no further.  I do not want to mislead anyone into thinking that this is a way to make money easily without any work on your part.  I want to make it perfectly clear that this is a business.  All business require work.  As you set out to establish yourself in a new business venture, there is going to be some degree of risk and cost associated with the start up and learning curve. You need to carefully consider your financial situation to determine if starting a new business is appropriate for you.  No one can do this but you.  Clearly, this business is not going to be appropriate for everyone.  If you are deeply in debt, I would personally recommend you focus on getting your personal finances in order prior to investing in any new business venture.  You need to have a clear mind in this business.  You can't be burdened by worries.   Now that I've said that,  If you are still excited and feel that now is the appropriate time in your life to start a new business, you've successfully passed the first test!  Congratulations!  Now you must have a strong desire to take control of your financial future, a strong desire to succeed in life, a positive attitude and the desire to make money...a lot of money, if this is the case, then read on because this business might just be what you are looking for! 

To make money in this business, you must operate just like in any other business. You must first become knowledgeable in the business, you’ll need to invest some time, money, and effort. This is no get rich quick easy way to wealth.  Honestly, you must be willing to apply some effort, learn the business, use common sense and slowly build your fortune. It is said in this business, "It is better to get rich slowly, than to get poor quickly". These are strong words of wisdom; however, if you have the kind of persistence needed to make it to the top, if you have slightly above average intelligence, if you are clever enough to outsmart your opponents, you can make a fortune doing this far quicker than any other profession!  I personally have made more money in one month doing this than I have in an entire year working for someone else. I have the documents to prove it!

What is this all about....?

Commodity futures trading has been around for a long time. Only recently, with the aid of affordable powerful computers has it been possible for smaller players to effectively participate and consistently make money in the commodity markets. Larger investors and commercial firms have been making money in these markets for years.

The explosion of high technology has greatly reduced the cost of the exchange data and the cost of the computers needed to do the complex analysis and sophisticated calculations. Now anyone with a desire and the proper knowledge and training can effectively operate at the level the huge commercial institutions do. This is truly an exciting time! Very exciting indeed!

Interested? Have questions? Read on...

What are commodities and how can I make money from them?

Commodities are the items that affect our world and our lives daily. Such things as sugar, coffee, orange juice, wheat, corn, crude oil, gasoline, gold, silver, stocks, interest rates, currencies, lumber, cattle, hogs and yes, pork bellies. We all use all or most of these things in our daily lives. We have orange juice and bacon for breakfast, probably coffee too.  We fill our gas tanks with gasoline, we use our dollars to buy things. When we charge things on our charge-cards and we must pay an interest rate. We wear gold rings, necklaces or earrings. The list goes on and on. You can see these things are in great demand and that is essentially how we are able to make money from them!

The commodity markets were set up to fairly control the prices of key commodities through supply and demand. The prices for all these commodities fluctuate literally minute by minute based on the needs, "demand" and supply. For instance, when you go to the gas station to fill up your gas tank, you might notice the price per gallon usually fluctuates a few cents from the last time you filled up your tank. Sometimes the price might fluctuate wildly and you might notice a whole 10 cent difference or more. All commodities do this. You notice it more at gas stations because they can not store huge amounts of fuel.

There are three equally vital participants in the commodities markets. Each participant has his own interest in the markets. The largest participants by far are the commercial institutions. These are the huge users of the commodities. The second largest are the funds. These are the large trading institutions who manage large sums of investment money for many investors. Thirdly, there are the small investors or "speculators". They hope to make money from the market as it fluctuates.

What if I know nothing about investing or have little money to invest?

One of the most unique things about investing in the commodity markets, which makes these markets far different than stocks, is the amount of leverage available to anyone willing to take a risk. For instance, one gallon of unleaded gas currently sells for about 60 cents (wholesale). You will pay double that at a gas station due to taxes and the costs associated with the gas station. Lets say the price changes 1 cent to 61 cents. This happens all the time. Now one gallon is worth 61 cents. If you would have bought 42,000 gallons, you would have made $420.00 from that 1 cent fluctuation. Now 42,000 gallons @ 60 cents a gallon would cost $25,200. That’s a lot of money! If this was a stock, that is exactly what you would pay. But since this is a commodity, you are not required to pay the full price. That’s right, you don’t have to pay $25,200 to control 42,000 gallons of gasoline. The current cost to control this amount of gasoline is $2,000.

You put up $2,000 and you can control $25,200 in unleaded gasoline. If the price fluctuates 1 cent, you can make $420.00. The chart below is a recent chart for unleaded gasoline. Here you can see the daily price fluctuations. In July of 1996, the price was 55 cents a gallon. It steadily rose to over 70 cents a gallon in six months. That is a 15 cent change in price. A $2000 dollar investment during this time would have profited 15 cents or .15 x 42,000 = $6,300 per single contract. That is an amazing $317% return in six months on $2000.

With the aid of a computer and the right software, I can help teach you how to follow these markets. The rest is up to you! You can open up an account with a brokerage firm for as little as $2500. However, about $10,000 is more adequate. I have made special arrangements with a brokerage firm to provide $16 round turn commission with a minimum $2500 investment.

This sounds too easy, what is the catch?

I hear this all the time. I am amazed at the number of excuses I hear from people explaining why this won’t work, or why they don’t have time, or why they don’t have any money to invest. If you want something bad enough in life, you will find the means to get it. I wanted to become a successful full-time commodity trader so bad that I worked 24 hours a day at it. Now I am successful. I was willing to do what it took, are you? The opportunity is here for anyone willing to put forth the effort. That is the catch!

What about the financial risk?

Using a computer and a good risk management strategy, you can limit your risk to a fixed amount which is comfortable to you. For instance, say you decided to invest $2000 in one contract (42,000 gallons) of unleaded gasoline. Then say the price fluctuates 1 cent against you ($420.00). If you wanted, you could simply get out of the market at that time and take your loss; however, this is one of the most critical key elements of trading. You must know when to get out. You don’t want to get out of a market from noise. You want to get out when the market tells you its going in a different direction than you anticipated. Timing in these markets is important but it is nearly impossible to time it perfect each time, I’ll teach you how to place your "stop loss" points so you get out at the appropriate time. You will need to risk money in this business. This is a fact.  You will occasionally lose money also. However, if you follow the methods I teach, you WILL clearly limit your risks and losses. Traders who follow my system make enough money on the winning trades to cover all losses and show a nice profit! If you’re skeptical, you can look at my broker statements.

What about the pressure and the high stress associated with futures trading?

Typically, the high stress is related to placing too many trades or over-trading. I will teach you how to avoid these mistakes. In addition, a great deal of stress and pressure is associated with day-trading. Day-trading is the attempt to make small profits on Intra-day price movements. Often, the attempt to increase profits is done by trading several or multiple contracts. I do not recommend day-trading to beginners and do not teach any methods of day-trading to beginners. Day-trading is left to the ones with the experience, stomach and most importantly, huge bankrolls needed to be successful.

The methods I teach focus primarily on position trading. In addition, some markets are more volatile than others and some tend to move around at night. My methods focus on the less volatile markets and typically do not involve active night markets. I focus on the big moves, just like the large commercial institutions. Day-trading requires much skill, focus and a great deal of energy Believe me, it is hectic and stressful at best. I chose to live a more quite life, slowly watching my profit increase day after day as I often hold a position for weeks as it increases in value. Remember, it is better to get rich slowly, than it is to get poor quickly!

How can I learn to make money and operate in this business?

I’ll show you how to track the dynamic markets as the markets constantly change and evolve.  Where technical indicators fail or fall short (because they are stale and derived from old data), I'll show you how to apply a unique form of analysis that uses a proprietary "look-ahead" technique via my IMPA graphs and UCL/LCL indicators.  My core indicator (UCL/LCL) is derived from the open interest and/or open positions.  This indicator is proprietary and is unique to my system.   I use the core indicator to anticipate the future direction of the market.
