The Surprising Power of
the Number "24"...

It’s a new day in trading. And some are terrified by it. After all, triple-digit moves by the Dow almost daily understandably spook some traders.

Just not the smart ones.

Today, I’m writing to urge you to do one thing: Start putting more money in this market. Right now.

I’m so positive about the profit opportunity offered by this market that I’ll tell you this: If you’re avoiding trading in this market...or if you’re putting your money in the wrong place, you might as well be watching it drain down the sink.

Why am I telling you to make this move? Because of one big factor: the number 24. I’ll explain more about that in just a minute.

But first, I’d like to show you the kind of gains you COULD be making in this market. That is, if you were taking advantage of market volatility by using an investing strategy that involves trading in-the-money options:

GO AHEAD AND ASK

So what’s the significance behind the number "24"?

It has nothing to do with Kiefer Sutherland, covert government agencies or counterterrorism.

It’s about where the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, is hovering today.

As you might know, the VIX measures the expectation of volatility in the market. A higher number corresponds with more volatility - and more fear - among investors.

That’s why some call the VIX "the Fear Index." Today, the VIX is currently about double what it was a year ago.

You see, after YEARS of being compressed and generally hovering at levels between 10 and 14, the VIX finally started climbing in the summer of 2007.

And overall, it’s stayed much higher ever since. In fact, lately it’s been hovering around 24 or even higher.

And that’s a good thing for options traders. A really good thing.

INCREASED VOLATILITY = LARGER PROFITS

Why? Because increased volatility means equity prices fluctuate more, which can lead to bigger profits.

As a recent quote in Bloomberg News put it, "The options market thrives on fear...When there’s more fear, there’s more opportunity."

It’s one of the reasons that we experienced the busiest week EVER for options trading in the second week of January, with 93.8 million contracts changing hands, according to the Options Clearing Corporation.

It’s also the reason big investors like Wells Fargo & Co. nearly doubled their use of options for clients last year, according to Bloomberg News.

WHY YOU HAVE TO ACT NOW

I expect that stock market volatility will begin to recede later in 2008 from the current elevated levels, so now is a great time to scoop up profits from big stock jumps.

And it’s a good reason for you to start making options trading a bigger part of your overall investing strategy.

In fact, you can start making larger profits on your trades almost immediately...my Leverage Series makes it easy for you.

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU PROFIT IN 2008

Leverage Series subscribers get the benefit of my proprietary trading method called Expectational Analysis®, or the X-Factor®.

My traders and I use this method to search out profitable opportunities where investor sentiment runs counter to fundamental and technical trends.

Using this method, we have developed proprietary filters and indicators that help us uncover great contrarian investment opportunities.

Like our +105% GAIN on Potash, where we saw an equity that was moving higher even in the face of strong pessimism toward the stock from investors.

It was a contrarian investment opportunity that "fertilized" the portfolios of many of our Leverage Series subscribers:

A LOOK AT POTASH (POT)

POT mines, produces and sells potash, phosphate ore, phosphoric acid, nitrogen fertilizers and nitrogen chemicals. The company operates through three segments: Nitrogen, Potash and Phosphate.

The morning that we made our recommendation, the company released earnings that blew out analysts’ estimates. Moreover, the company said that it expected earnings for the first quarter and for 2008 to be higher than analysts’ expectations. The company reported earnings of $1.16 per share, double last year’s figure and 18 cents above estimates.

POT gapped nearly 11% higher on the earnings news.

THE STOCK’S PERFORMANCE HAD BEEN STRONG

POT had also hit a new all-time high earlier in the month, and the shares had moved 144% higher in the 52 weeks prior to our recommendation.

Ahead of the earnings report, there had been unusually high put buying relative to call buying on the International Securities Exchange (ISE).

Just 8 of the 13 analysts following the shares rated it a "buy," according to Zacks. We knew that if analysts decided to raise their opinions on the company, this could create a tailwind for the stock to go higher.

WE TOLD SUBSCRIBERS TO BUY

So on Thursday, January 24, we told subscribers to buy the Potash February 120 call. At the time, the stock was sitting at 129.94.

THE RESULT: +105% GAINS IN JUST 22 DAYS

By February 12, Potash stock had climbed to 149.73. On that same day, we told our Leverage Series subscribers to take some money off the table and close out half of their positions to cash in on +126.5% gains.

We held onto the other half of our position until expiration Friday, hoping that the stock would continue its upward trend.

Unfortunately, the price dropped slightly to 145.14. So on Friday, February 15, we told subscribers to cash out the final half of their positions at +83% gains.

The overall gain on our Potash calls was +105%! Not a bad profit – particularly given that we made it in just 22 days!

And it’s particularly impressive when you consider that you would have made just 15% returns if you had bought and sold the stock in the same time frame, even if you sold all of the stock when it hit the price of 149.73.

That means the option gained 7 TIMES MORE than the stock gained in the same time period.

IT TAKES A LOT OF FERTILIZER FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO TO GROW FAST

Just to make the difference in profits even clearer, let’s do a little math. If you'd invested $2,760 to buy 2 options contracts (which gives you the right to control 200 shares) on Potash last month, you would have pocketed a tidy $2,898 in profits just a few days ago.

That’s right, you would have DOUBLED your money!

If you had invested more than that amount, about $3,898.20 to purchase, say, 30 shares of the stock, you’d only be looking at around $585 in profits.

That’s quite a difference.

Which would you rather make? +15% gains or +105% gains? $2,898 in profits or $585 in profits?

I know which I would choose.

Do you want to start making trades that could rake in +100% gains or more?

WHEN THE PROFITS HAVE TO BE THERE - FAST

There are a lot of great benefits to trading options. But one of the best is that you can easily make money when stocks are going down rather than up.

Particularly when you see the contrarian set-up of strong investor optimism in the face of weak technical performance.

That’s just what happened with our put option trade on FedEx.

SHARE PRICES WERE WEAK

In the fall of 2007, we noted that shares of the transportation giant had been very weak, losing more than 13% in the prior year.

On November 16, FedEx (FDX) gapped down after the company guided lower for the quarter and fiscal year thanks to higher fuel costs.

BUT INVESTORS WERE OPTIMISTIC

Even after the poor price action and weakening fundamental picture, we still saw signs of unreasonable optimism towards FDX, suggesting the shares could continue to weaken.

In fact, the option speculators were very optimistic, trading far more calls than puts on the stock.

And there wasn’t a single "sell" rating out of the 16 analysts covering the shares, leaving the door wide open for downgrades down the road.

So, on December 11, we told subscribers to buy the FedEx January 2008 110 put. The stock was trading at 99.75.

WE DELIVERED GAINS OF +115% - IN JUST 30 DAYS!

On January 10, the stock plunged, and we closed out the final portion of our FedEx put for average gains of 115% - in just 30 days!

COMPARE THE EXPENSES

Now, we’ve already talked about how you can get much bigger gains on an option trade versus a stock trade.

The bottom line is that the cost of an option trade is much, much less compared to the cost of a stock trade. Look at it this way:

To buy 2 FedEx January 110 puts (giving you control of 200 shares) would’ve cost you $1,077 x 2 or $2,154.

To buy 200 shares of FedEx stock would’ve cost you $99.75 x 200 = $19,950, or 9 times more.

NOW COMPARE THE GAINS

And, as I already mentioned, the gains from an option trade can be much higher than the gains (or losses) from a stock trade.

Take a look at the math on this trade:

If you had bought 200 shares of FedEx stock, your shares would have lost -9.9%. Instead of the $19,950 you started with, you’d now have about $17,976. Ouch.

If you bought 2 FedEx January 110 puts, your options increased +115%. So, instead of the $2,154 you started with, you’d have more than doubled your investment and netted $2,480 in profits.

THE ADVANTAGES OF BUYING A PUT

Buying a put is a secret weapon that options traders use to profit in a down market. A put offers a unique way to trade volatility successfully.

The 3 Advantages of Buying a Put:

• It costs much less than buying or shorting a stock.
• The amount of capital at risk is limited to the premium paid.
• A put option gains in value as the stock price drops in value. So, you can make big gains from falling stock prices.
