TRADING FLOOR SECRETS: OASIS and Education
March 13, 2007
Those who have ever read one of my articles are familiar with my mantra of education being the most important catalyst for achieving success in trading. I have been writing articles that are posted roughly once a week here at Optionetics.com in an attempt to help round out our readers education; also, I have a forum where I try to answer traders most frequently asked questions.
Rapidly approaching is the annual Optionetics trading forum in California known as OASIS (Optionetics Annual Super-Investor Summit). To say that OASIS is large and exciting is an understatement in the same caliber as saying Michael Jordon was a decent basketball player. This is big, and this years will likely be the largest ever with about 50 topics being discussed. I just wish I had the popcorn and hot dog concessions. I could retire on Pete Ach''s sales alone.
The topics covered are going to be all over the place, encompassing just about any angle of trading one could imagine. The truly amazing thing is that I have been asked to speak at OASIS this yearamazing because I thought the only ones reading my articles were special interest groups who were offended and my kids (and I am not sure about the latter). So you can imagine my surprise when I was told I am getting the main room and don''t screw up! What does one thing have to do with the other?
I posted a vote on my Optionetics board asking the readers what they would like me to talk about, and I should have been more specific. I want to stress that I didn''t take an official poll, but it appears like the number one answer was politics stand up comedy. As politicians are too easy of a target, mostly making the material for you daily, I opted to go with the number one trading choice of Broken Wing Butterfly spreads.
To my continued shock I have found out that a good deal of my readers (both of them) are not even Optionetics graduates but stumbled on my board when looking for the less attractive Kramer. Many of both of these readers have stated they have an interest in being at OASIS to hear me speak (as their insomnia medication is just not enough). I discussed this with the CEO of Optionetics and we came up with a solution.
Limited Time Offer
For a limited time, and for the first time ever, if you are not an Optionetics graduate you can sign up and attend OASIS for only $695. Now you don''t have to walk in backwards pretending you are leaving to get past security!
Those who know me know that I don''t push products, but this is a great deal. The offer is good for a very short period of time as the event sells out all the time and our graduates are entitled to a little favoritism. If you call 866-910-8373 now or before March 21st you can attend even if you have not attended any other Optionetics events. I am told you have to tell the operator that you want the Scott Kramer Special, but don''t be surprised if the operator says, Who? Those who know me personally, The Kramer Special is not what you think. There will be no penicillin involved.
Apparently the company is expecting this (my attendance) to be a rather big deal as they have taken their best operator off of security detail and put him on the phone mentioned above. How would I describe Gus as a worker? Definitely over/achieving (his days of achieving are long over with). But he is polite and will get you signed up.
So what will I be talking about at OASIS? Hmmm...
- Broken Wing Butterfly Spreads
- How to find good BWB candidates and place them in strategic locations
- The new margin rules
- How if I were 2 inches taller and unable to speak a coherent sentence I wouldn''t be doing this and would be in the NBA getting all the girls.
- How imaginary numbers are real (time permitting)
and MORE (much to the fear of the company''s attorney).
Actually, somehow I had a moment of amnesia when I agreed to speak at least two times, which I am certain is against my contract and probably violates some rules in my union. To complicate matters even more so, I have begun preparing the slides as if it were a 3-hour presentation, as I am sure the censors will be kind enough to trim my talks down to 60 minutes. But the time spent listening to me will feel like 3 hours!
So dont miss this opportunity to prove me wrong (again) and make this special promo a success by registering right now by calling 866-910-8373, if for no other reason than to wake Gus up and have him spill his coffee in his lap while in a panic. Tell them you want the Kramer Special as your name wont be in the database and Gus will be confused (more than usual). Yes, this is a real offer and not a joke.
