Dear OPN subscribers, thanks again. I am encouraged by all your feedback about OPNewsletter. Your feedback is the only way that tells me how OPN has been delivering its promise and what are the areas that can be developed further. I posted earlier reviews here and then 2nd part of your reviews here. I shall be publishing remaining feedback later. As I mentioned in my earlier note, one of the common concern among most of the subscriber is to keep the group small and don’t let OPN become large. I am working on it and shall update in due time.

Let me start with Luis from California, USA.

I have being about 16 years witnessing my capital being managed by different brokers. Some brokers were purely option traders and others were stock fund managers. I have had both very good years and bad years but progressively the good years have being vanishing. Last year I decided to start working more aggressively to learn different options techniques and put them to the test. In my search for knowledge I came across the Option Pundit website. On my first month of trading with OP, I made enough money to pay my annual subscription and provided a good boost to my portfolio. Option Pundit is well tuned with the market and exhibit option trading techniques far more sophisticated than my previous options brokers. I am also very impressed with the caliber of many forum members who constantly add valuable comments and information. My experience these first two months with OP have being very enriching and rewarding.

Thanks Luis. Your words means a lot and I am happy that OPN was able to deliver value to you and you find it enriching. Thanks to you as well for sharing your knowledge on the forum and we look forward to hear even more.

I have been subscribing to other newsletters but so far none had delivered it promises and I find their result computation misleading/weird.

Prior to joining OPN, I’ve been reading OP blog for some time and it has become one of my daily MUST visit blog. Regrettably, I have missed the first opportunity to joint OPN when it first release as I was skeptical and doubtful after my bad experiences with other commentary services and newsletter that I subscribed.

I am glad that I have finally made decision to joint OPN, and frankly speaking, I felt confident prior joining OPN for 2 reasons :

1. The proven result, and
2. the way OPN change the rule of the game (no profit no fees) that show how confident you are in your strategy

After joining OPN, what I can say is that I get more than what I expected, I like your strategy, your $ management method, the way you report the results and the wonderful community that full of selfless members and OP itself that willing to share and help everyone to learn along the way.

In short, OPN - “A PROVEN strategy that delivers CONSISTENT result with CONFIDENT to change the rule of the game”

I would definitely recommend to anyone confidently to join this wonderful community to learn and make $ at the same time

Dear Watt, thanks for the vote of confidence and marking OptionPundit as a must visit blog. I am also glad that you are delighted with OPN and feel it’s delivering more than what you had expected.

Dear OP,

I have been a keen reader of your blog for almost a year and when you initially started OPN I jumped in rightway knowing this is once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from somebody who is the top of his game. What I admire most about you/OPN is not just the trades but the education and the personal touch. I feel like I am communicating with a mentor and friend.

Learning from you is an incredible experience. Your depth of knowledge is vast and you can explain in a language one can easily understand. Prior to discovering your website my experience with options is primarily long calls , puts and vertical spreads at best. You introduced me to income trading and inspired me to learn a lot about options. These strategies suit my style where I don’t have to watch the market tick by tick.

Your results speak for themselves. They are consistent and outstanding in a market as volatile as it can get over the last one year. I am looking forward to work with you for a long long time. Finally I want to thank all OPN members for making OPN an outstanding community.

Sri, first of all I am very thankful for the resources you have pull together for the benefit of all the OPN members. Especially the newbie who can easily understand what are we doing at OPN. You have also been actively sharing your knowledge with other members regarding greeks or OPN trade adjustments. Via this post, I sincerely want to thank you for your time and efforts. Your kind words are encouraging that tells me that OptionPundit and OPN is on the right path and has added value (and money via profits) to its community members.

I’ve been a long time subscriber, from the original service before your started up again, and can vouch for your success in options trading. I’ve consistently profited each month of my membership, and more importantly, I’ve learned some valuable options strategies along the way. I’ve even used these strategies successfully on my own trades.

I was originally attracted to your service by your blog and your “no profit, no subscription fee” you advertised early on, but since then I’ve been even more impressed with your ability produce consistent monthly income month after month with seemingly less risk than investing in stocks alone.

I don’t know how you do it, but the amount of effort you put into your blog as well as your attention to your member’s only forum is impressive. I notice you respond to many of the questions in your forums directly or one of your knowledgeable members answers the question before you have an opportunity to chime in.

I’ve been an active investor for over two decades and I’ve been trading options for several years with moderate levels of success. I’ve paid for a number of other services over the years and can state categorically you KNOW your craft! You don’t advertise only the profitable trades and ignore the unprofitable trades like many other subscriptions services. What I like best is you diversify your operating capital across several mini portfolios each with with an asset allocation recommendation. This alone is worth the price of admission, since we all too often incorrectly allocate working capital to our positions.

It’s hard to consistently make money in the options arena and, so far, you have an impressive winning streak going. I can only hope you keep the number of subscribers small and enjoy continued success with your income producing options strategies.

Thanks for the support and kind words Chris and also for your support on the forum. It’s the member that makes forum so distinctive and we learn from each other and grow together. Portfolio allocation is very important especially if we want to be in this game for long run. We need to learn how to manage bigger capital while achieving good results at the same time. We all are learning this together.

I love this newsletter. It’s probably the best thing that ever happened to my trading career. I’m a sort of a risky trader and have lost a considerable amount of money in my past. I needed to follow someone I can trust and see how trades are executed and learn. This is exactly what I needed. I’m beginning to make money recently not only because I’m following some of your trades, but because I’m getting good ideas and learning how you trade, which is invaluable. I’m a full time software engineer and do not have the time to investigate stocks at the same level as you do. Therefore this is essential for me to be a successful trader because a successful part time trader is a tough goal.

I have already gotten one of my co workers to sign on the list (Bryce catlain). He is a fellow engineer and he is VERY systematic. He is following your trades and analyzing your performance before he decides to put in real money. So far he is quite impressed.

I do however have one concern. I know this list is not open to the public, meaning not everyone on the Internet can join. This is probably a good thing, but when does the amount of people joining begin to affect the trades? Most of us are small traders, meaning we’re probably trading with less than a 100K trading account. But I’m wondering what happens if more people learn about this list and you get big time players (like, say, a hedge fund manager) who deals with millions of dollars. Can this affect our trades? How do you protect against adverse results from the amount of subscribers?

Thank you for allowing me to join. I truly believe I am on the way to success begin a part of this group!

Thanks for your kind words and referring OPN to your friends. I am thinking ways to keep it small. Right now the way I have thought about this is via limiting the new subscriptions only to this number I have which is in proportion to the liquidity. However, later on we’ll close it for new subscription and only allow new members once someone decide to leave OPN.

Thank you all, I shall post remaining feedback sometime later.

Profitable trading, OP
