 Hello there, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Shoxwush, and it is October. It's hard to believe, but there is less than three months left in the calendar year 2023. This year has flown by. For me, particularly, it's been a really, really busy year. I started out the year still unpacking from my move, which was almost a year ago. And here we are. Halloween is in less than a month, and fall is upon us, and it's one of these times where it's time to get serious and get busy on making money. Because once the holidays come around, everybody likes to take time off, relax, have fun. Now is the time. This month of October, this month of November, is the time to really make money. When you can be focused, when you don't have the distractions of all kinds of things going on for the holidays. So we gotta get focused. And one of the benefits of trading right now is that earnings season begins in just a couple of days. So earnings season starts next week, the week of the ninth. So I'm excited about it. We've had a great August and September, particularly with what I do, which is mostly shorts. I'm gonna talk to you about the options newsletter today in this lecture. However, if you're interested really in learning how I make the picks to short, I teach my method in class, which is once a month. And again, there's only three more classes this year. So I'm doing an October options surprise, 48 hour special for those of you that are interested and you really, really, really, really wanna join. And you wanna sign up, and you've been waiting to sign up. And I'm telling you right now, this could not be a better time for you to join. Email me at melissathestalkswitch.com. My phone number is 9293200GAP if you have questions. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So the October options surprise includes if you sign up for the annual newsletter subscription, which is 12 months, which is normally $69.99, you will save first of all $1,000 off the annual subscription price. You can sign up and only pay $59.99. And the bonuses, you'll receive two bonuses. One is you will receive the GAP options course free. This is gonna help you tremendously. And then you will also receive three bonus months. You'll receive the newsletter until the end of 2024. So you will actually get more than 12 months. You will save $1,000 and get the GAP options course free. This is a nice offer. And this ends, this is totally over Friday, October 6th. So you must sign up by Friday if you wanna do this. And then of course, you will get next week's trades. You can sign up tomorrow and get Friday's trades. Friday is actually the unemployment number. So Friday should be a good trading day as well. But it is earnings season. This is one of the times where we make money particularly with what I do, which is focus on gaps. Most stocks that have earnings report earnings gap. Sometimes they gap up, sometimes they gap down. I never know what I'm gonna do until the earnings report. Then I rate the gap. And again, that's what you'd learn in the Golden Gap course. That's the big class, the two day class that I teach once a month. So the GAP options course is a half day class, which if you sign up for this special you will get for free, which is October 26th, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern time, okay? So write that date down. And if you wanna sign up, this is a really good offer, particularly because you're gonna be trading right at the height of earnings season with us, getting to join, getting in, getting into the mix and starting to make money like I said before the holidays. And now is the time to short. We've been actively shorting. I've been getting really good timing in the trains. We've done the market a lot. It's worked. Today we rallied. We'll see where we go from here. But every single day I never know what I'm gonna do until I get up in the morning and I rate the gap. That is the process. That is the procedure that I go through. Again, if you were someone that was a pilot, for example, you have a checklist you go through before you take off. I have a checklist that I go through before I risk money in the trade. And I use that checklist each and every day. And again, that's the meat and potatoes of really what I do. But if you wanna sign up for the options newsletter, subscription and as an email service, it's a service where you'll receive the newsletter to your email in live time. You take the trade when you get it. This was sent September 26th, 939 in the morning. We did the Oracle 106 puts that expired this Friday. And again, I didn't see where this was trading at. Where this closed today. Ready out of this. Good trade went, fell, cost was 90 cents. 100 contracts, risk was $9,000, sold at 250. Profit was 16,000. Return of investment was 178%. This was a fabulous trade, a great trade. Again, almost 200% return of investment. My goal of trade is 50 to 100. So to get something to go this big, this fast was amazing. 90 cents, anybody can do this. You're gonna take a one contractor risk $90, two contracts and risk 180. So if you had a smaller risk, and I'm using an average of 1,000, I say a beginner risk, you could have risked more, you could have risked less. 12 contracts was 10, 80 risks, sold at 250, 1,920 dollars. Now I do have the targets as well on the newsletter. Okay. And so here we have it. So this was the Oracle, what day was that? Tuesday. Oh, here. Yeah, that was a good call. Yeah, you could still be on this. This trade would still be up. Well, like I said, I didn't see where he closed today, but from this morning, this trade would have still been up this morning. So when I do a trade, I'm looking for the momentum. It came in literally the day that I called it, got the drop, second day down, boom, done, out. But, you know, it is amazing how lately when I've been calling things, we've been seeing far more continuation than even I have been anticipating. So that is a nice sign of things to come. And again, a really nice sign for earnings season. So that's a trade you would have gotten if you were on the newsletter. So you see it, you know, as far as people, they're always saying to me, how do I know if this is gonna work? You're not gonna know until you sign up. I do not have trials for the newsletter. You will not know until you sign up and start doing the trades. I do know that there was a gentleman that signed up over the weekend. I mean, he's already happy he did. Today is only Wednesday. So it's an active letter. There's a good amount of trades. You may not even wanna do all the trades that I call. And yes, it depends on your risk, how much you make, that's true. But you need to take the size of account that you have and work with it. And that's why this is such a great opportunity with saving the thousand dollars and then getting the extra bonus time on the newsletter. Even if you wanna sign a letter, you don't have to sign up until January of 2025, which is a very long time away. Plus you get the half day class, which really helps out. So you get a window into how I look at things and reference to gaps. That of course is very, very helpful. So chunking it out is important. If I call five trades, I wouldn't hold off five trades every single time. Get out of two, hold three. Get out of three, hold two. Whatever you wanna do, get out of half. Chunk it, chunk it, chunk it out. That's very important. Because again, when you're trading, you wanna make sure to book profits. That's the reason we do it. I'm trading momentum and also to make money. So I mean, this isn't like trying to hold things to the end of time. No, again, like I said, you could still be in this trade, but why? Your goal is to make money, you do it, get out. That's how you create financial independence for yourself because nobody can predict what's gonna happen today, tomorrow, with the market, the economy. I discuss this on television when I appear on TV. I say what I think, but at the end of the day, it is up to me, it is up to you. We have to take care of ourselves. The best person to look out for yourself is you. And if you invest in your own trading, education and success, which is really getting you with someone good and knows what they're doing, which is me, you will be rewarded over time. The universe will see that you're investing money in yourself and that you really, really wanna make this happen for yourself. And that's really where I was at with it, too. I mean, I fall on through myself into trading and that is how I figured out the 26 point rating system that I do now. When I started trading though, I didn't start doing options, which was 15 years ago. I did not initially do options. I was figuring out my system to find the best pick. Then I ended up going into options, which now was more than eight years ago, but at the time, at the time, I developed my system for not only myself, and then now here we are. So having a person, having a mentor to follow is very, very helpful. I remember don't drown in the market by trading alone. It's difficult if you don't have someone to ask questions. It's difficult if you're trying to find good trades every day. It's difficult particularly if the markets volatile or whipping and people have been seeing that for the last couple of weeks. I think the market's been an easy read lately. We'll see if it continues to be so, but for now, for now you have to understand that if you don't have a set strategy to trade and risk money in the market, you shouldn't be trading. You can't be trading willy-nilly. It's not gambling, this isn't a crap shoot. And when I send out the newsletters, I'm ready to gas before I send them to you. So I make the picks, but like I said, follows a great time to trade. Simply because it's starting season and again, it's starting to get cold, people are inside, they're spending time. You wanna make money now. The market's after the volumes there. Again, we have the unemployment number Friday, so much going on right now. And it's just like every day there's something and it's always something unpredictable. And that lends for opportunity for you to make money if you know how to play it. So that's what I focus on. That's my job is trying to find the best pick every day. And then all I have to do is take the trade, whether it's a day trade or an option. And if you get the benefit of being with me and being in my group, whether it's on the newsletter or taking the class or being in the live room with me, you will benefit from my experience, intuition and knowledge. And of course, the focus that I put into my own personal trading as well, if you're following me. So the live trading room is open for people who have taken the golden gap course. If this is something you wanna do, reach out to me about the class. The class for October is October 21st and 22nd. You must take that class to join the room. However, the room is a day trade room, just so you know, it's not an options room. But getting back to what I said, you know, a lot of people are saying to themselves, I wish I had extra money, I wish that I had more. Well then you gotta go out and make more. I mean, that's the only way you can have more. Go out and make more. Or guess what? Start trading. Start trading on the side with the job that you have right now. A lot of people still have freedom or are working from home. You can trade on the side. But I follow my process, the golden gap 26 point checklist, when I look through and pick through and rate my gaps. One, two, three, four, five, just total up, tally it up, like Oracle, boom. And I know that it's good. I know it's gonna work and I do it. And again, you take the trade when you get the newsletter. If you're interested in the golden gap course, however, this is October 21st and 22nd. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, class tuition is 69.99, everyone pays the same. Class is online, you can be anywhere in the world and take it. You could sign up for this class now to get in. Again, only three more classes this year. This one in October, one in November and one in December, that's it. This year has flown by, like I said, but this would be the class you wanna get in if you wanna start trading with us for earnings season. And again, you have the opportunity to take advantage of this October option surprise for 48 hours, ends Friday, October 6th, no exceptions. You must sign up by Friday and you will get the newsletter through the end of 2024, which is more than 12 months. You're getting almost three months free, ends Friday, October 6th. You will also get the gap options course free, which is October 26th and you will save $1,000. This is just a great deal. You're getting the bonuses and you're gonna save $1,000. So great time to trade, great time to join. If you have any questions, please email me. If you wanna sign up, email me. You must email me to get the sign up forms. And just remember, 2023 isn't over yet. You can still get somewhere with your trading. You can still make money. You still can have the year that you wanna have financially. You got plenty of time left and trust me, the market is gonna have plenty of opportunity. I am even shocked about what we've done and even the trades I've done in the last two months. Like I'm shocked considering it was the end of the summer, September, the market is rocking and rolling people and you have to know how to trade it. So if you'd like more information, like I said, email me and Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day.
