Options Power Trader
Editor: Ted Peroulakis
Publisher: Investor’s Daily Edge

Got this newsletter after getting a refund for the Red Flag Insider from Andrew Gordon and am a little more satisfied with this service. Ted at least uses charts and is a technical trader and is about 3 wins to 1 loss so far which is better than the Red Flag Insider. I have gained on his Chesaspeke Oil Corp, AngloGold, and GLD trades but got pounded on his British pound trade. At least he puts a 50% stop loss which allows me to take the $500 I didn’t lose from the British pound trade to put into another trade. The winning trades doubled my money. Still have another $1500 left to get out of the hole I got into with the Red Flag Insider though.

Here is an update about this service. Only half his picks were good and the other picks he mistimed the option pick. He even badly timed his gold pick. You can be right but timing is most important especially in short term trades like options. This service was set up as damage control for the dimal performance of Andrew Gordon’s Red Flag Insider which collapsed when all his puts went south during the government funded rally of April. I now an still at a loss from the Red Flag Insider because through this service I only broke even but if you purchase it each year you will be out the $495 or myself I am out the additional $5K for the lifetime membership. I did make some of that back through the Bond Trader by Steve McDonald and the Resource Windfall Speculator by Russell McDougal but still down in money from the liffetime membership and the losses fro Red Flag Insider with 6 dismal picks in a row at a loss of $6K ($1K each). I give this service a bad review because I am still upset about Andrew Gordon’s Red Flag Insider and haven’t made up my losses for that through this service which was supposed to replace it.

This is a great newsletter. I’ve subscribed for a year now and have taken lots of winners. He made his readers money in 2009 and that’s a fact! I’ve had many financial newsletters in the past and this is the best so far. I just renewed for another year. Ted Peroulakis gives you a good fundamental and technical analysis with each new recommendation. I love the Options Power Trader!

This is one of the better options newsletters. I made 100% in some euro puts last week and made 100% in some Goldman Sachs put too. Ted Peroulakis took over a dozen winners in a row in this market. I recommend you take a subscription. This guy is good!

I have been sidelined by the losses I incurred by Andrew Gordon’s Red Flag Insider (he did puts at the wrong time), and wished Ted ran the options service at that time instead. Although I don’t have any more money to invest and I held a nasty grudge against Andrew Gordon (who has no clue on how to trade options but does know how to pick stocks and he should have stayed with his INCOME newsletter instead of publish the Red Flag Insider), I looked at Ted’s recos and newsletter when it came out after I lost my money and Ted is by far a much better options trader than Andrew Gordon.
Ted uses technicals rather than just fundamentals to back up his trades. His success rate is about 75% but nobody’s perfect. When the trade goes south, he at least protects himself using stop losses and he doesn’t let the options expire worthless. ANYBODY that does that is not worth looking at and I could say that about Andrew Gordon. He let the options expire worthless so that is why I have no more money to invest. Ted lets you walk away with a bad trade with at least half your money instead of nothing. Ted also maximizes gains and protects the principle with his double and sell half policy.
Overall, I think Options Power Trader is worth looking at as well as his bonus Options Breakfast Trader. I misjudged him before based on my grudge against Red Flag Insider so I re-reviewed this service with a clearer and cooler head.

I like Ted’s newsletter overall. Over the long run he makes people money. Unlike some other guys that sell options newsletter on the internet, Ted’s Options Power Trader actually wants the reader to make money. Ted isn’t perfect, he does take lossers. I don’t do all his picks. He sends 2 or 3 per week. I just watch them for a few days and only do the ones that I think can make money. Many go up 50% in one day. I kind of use the info and developed my own system which is a cash cow. I’m very successful doing this. Art Goldberg, NYC

I just joined this option service and I took almost a 50% gain on some silver call options in just 10 days. That was my first trade and I made over $300! Also, I have nice 15% open profit on an energy stock. And I’m up over $1,600 in just one day on some call options on a medical stock. The financial analyst in charge- Ted Perolakis is very good at explaining why he thinks an option can make you money. He emails me nice charts and the buy alerts are very easy to follow. I need to find out if this guy is single! hehehe

Jasper, so you give your ratings based on two recommendations? Did you expect that ALL plays will be winners?

I’m not a subscriber, just curious.

I just subscribed. They do not show a TR per say, so I went back to the Archives from Jun 1. June 1 to July 9. 14 losses at minus 50% each. I gain, 1/2 exit at 100%, 1/2 at BE. ( 1 trade I could not find the exit).
They use a 50% stop, but obvously the losses could be worse than 50% since fills are ususally bad on option stops.

I may go back further in the archeives, but I am inclined to get my money back now. Even if they had bad runs, I do not want a service that has 14 of 15 50% losses in one run.

I subscribed to this very disappointing newsletter near the beginning of June. As usual the selling is based on the personal tale of the editor, in this case a millionaire who wants to share with his less fortunate fellows. I made 12 of the 14 trades he recommended and stuck with it thinking that he was just having trouble getting used to the strange market conditions. I cancelled the subscription three days ago, having racked up a grand total of over $4,000 losses. During that time there were 8 closeout recommendations, meaning that at least half of your money was already gone, and probably more by the time you’d get it executed. There were 2 50% gains and 1 100% gain in the mix, the rest are outstanding.

Avoid this service. In fact, I am going to make it an absolute requirement of any service I subscribe to that the editor is entering the trades with his own money. I’ve done much better buying shares and selling covered calls than I have with any of these guys, and I have tried several.

I subscribed to this service in early May. I cancelled the subscription last week (mid July) having followed the recommendations closely. I made 12 of fourteen recommended trades and ended with a net loss of close to $4,000.00. There were 8 positions closed with 50% or greater losses, 2 50% gains and 1 100% gain. Avoid this service.

I subscribed to Power Trading, Parabolic Options and Trending 123, all by John Lansing. The first three weeks of Power Trading were successful and then he hit a major losing streak. It appears he tries to play the gaps. He refers to the room as a day trading room, but when an option does not work he holds them for days hoping the market will correct and make the options profitable. This worked the first three weeks, but this strategy has resulted in major losses in the last 5 weeks. He is proud when he gets you a 10% or 15% gain and has little to say with 70% to 85% losses. Parabolic Options had major losses from the start as he refuses to admit when he is wrong and often will double down when an option value loses max value and then all that money is lost as well. In short, none of his services actually netted profit overall. I would suggest spending your hard earned cash elsewhere.

I used the service for 30 days. Stopped out of 5 picks with 50% losses, had 2 up 30%. I’ve sent 3 notes asking for a refund per their 30 day money back guarantee, no refund yet.

I’ve been with Ted’s option newsletter for over two years and I have made money. I do recommend it. He gives good options plays.

I read some of these reviews and it seems like those readers didn’t give the options newsletter a chance.

Ted teaches you how to trade options. You can use his investment ideas that he emails in any way you wish. I make good gains with the subscription.

Best,

Guy Adami

The long-term options track record is great. You people need to give the options newsletter more than a couple trades. Of course you can take losses with options. The newsletter makes money for me in the long run. And this Financial analyst Ted Peroulakis has made me good money on gold. Just look at this free article he published on the internet:

Why You Should Buy Gold by Ted Peroulakis
Posted on March 18, 2009

Okay, I admit it, I’m a gold bug. I love and covet the yellow metal. I stashed some gold bullion in my safety deposit box and I own gold ETFs in my Roth IRA. Gold has made me loads of profits over the years and I expect more gains from gold.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a survivalist living in a bomb shelter that thinks the world is coming to an end. I’m not suggesting that you stock up on Beanie Weenies and shotguns and get ready for World War III. I just think you should own some gold in your portfolio as an insurance policy just in case the economy gets worse.

Let me tell you a few reasons why you should invest in gold.

Gold is a safe haven in times of financial market and geopolitical instability. Gold has often been nicknamed the “crisis commodity” since it tends to outperform other investments during periods of financial market distress and world tensions. Gold tends to head higher when confidence in the government is low. Iran is still on a collision course with Western powers and the war on terror isn’t going away any time soon.

World demand for gold continues to rise steadily. Gold demand is currently much higher than supply. Production is declining and it is extremely difficult to open new mines quickly to address the supply shortage. Gold demand is coming from central banks, but also from private institutions and individuals. The biggest, most enduring buying force of them all is billions of people in India and China that can now freely buy gold.

Gold is a great hedge against a declining dollar. Gold is bought and sold in U.S. dollars, so any decline in the value of the U.S. dollar causes the price of gold to go up. The U.S. trade deficit and the U.S. federal budget deficit are out of control. This means the government is going to have to shell out more money and their only way of getting it is to borrow, and effectively print the money.

Gold is a hedge against inflation. Gold is very popular as a hedge against inflation. Gold is one of the best investments during inflationary periods. Consumer prices are now rising increasingly and gold should benefit from a new wave of inflation.

Have you heard story about the lady that took a wheel barrel worth of currency to buy a loaf of bread? She could not fit the wheel barrel full of cash inside the bakery so she left it outside while she shopped. When she came back outside she realized she was robbed. The thieves stole the wheel barrel and just dumped the near worthless cash on the ground. I bet you she wished she had some gold.

Buy Gold Now!

Gold futures rose today, ending above $850 an ounce.

You should position yourself to make profits as gold prices rise.

I expect to see gold make a beeline to $1,000 per ounce and higher!

I would not be surprised if gold runs above its record intraday high of US$1,030.80 of March 17, 2008.

This newsletter was great. I made money in both 2009 and 2010 with this. The analyst Ted Peroulakis nailed a silver trade at the end of 2010. I made over 530K on calls on SLV.

This newsletter was sold to a different analyst and Ted Peroulakis now runs a hedge fund in Palm Beach.

Ted used to write a blog and his picks were money. He’s a very good stock picker. My position on WYNN alone is up over 60%. I wish he was still in the financial newsletter business. Word is that he went back to work for a big Wall Street firm. Here was his blog posting on June 25, 2010:

The Best Way to Play China’s Red Hot Casino Market
Posted on June 25, 2010

Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) owns high end casino resorts in Las Vegas and Macau. Macau is one of China’s special administrative regions. The Wynn Las Vegas sits on 215 acres of land on the Vegas strip and has 2,716 hotel rooms and suites. This property has a large casino and plenty of retail and meeting space. The company also operates the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas which has 2,034 guest suites, plus another large casino. In China, the casino operator owns the Wynn Macau with 600 hotel rooms and a large casino. The company has just completed the construction of the Encore at Wynn Macau, which will include luxury suites and another large casino. Wynn is planning on opening a new casino located at Macau’s Cotai Strip area which will target high rollers.

China has recently announced that they will let the Chinese currency appreciate which means Chinese consumers will have more disposable income. Chinese casino operators will benefit from this phenomenon and Wynn is perfectly positioned to benefit.

Wynn’s revenues are set to rise due to the opening of Encore at Wynn Macau, which opened in April 2010. In the Las Vegas, revenues are set to improve as Americans start taking vacations again. We expect U.S. gaming revenues to improve in 2010.

Wynn has a strong balance sheet with $1.76 billion in the bank which it can use for new projects in the lucrative Chinese gaming market.

Wynn is one of the few companies with casino operating rights in Macau. The Chinese gaming industry is very lucrative for casino operators. Owning Wynn stock is considered one of the best ways to profit from the explosive growth of the Chinese gaming market. A good portion of Wynn’s profits come from its Macau operations. Wynn stock is a darling of Wall Street and it’s one of the few stocks that is working in this market. Investors will continue to pile into the shares and push the stock higher in the near term. We expect investors to continue to pile into the shares and push the stock higher in the near term.

As a further confirmation of our bullish position, Deutsche Securities and UBS rates Wynn stock a “BUY”. And just yesterday, the financial research firm Sterne Agee upgraded Wynn to buy from neutral, which is positive.

Wynn Resorts – Technicals

Wynn stock looks good from a technical perspective as well. The stock’s 20-day simple moving average (SMA) is rising which indicates the stock will trend higher. Wynn has strong relative strength. Plus, the chart below shows a couple of confirmed up-trendlines for the stock which indicates it will run higher.

<>>

Wynn Resorts stock (WYNN) closed at $86.03 per share yesterday.

I suggest you buy Wynn Resorts stock (WYNN) today to go for some nice gains.

Best Wishes,

Ted Peroulakis, MBA
Financial Analyst
