I have been trading the stock market - and options in particular - since 1997. In the past 23 years, I have made my share of mistakes, but have also engendered some very significant profits with options, and have decided to share my knowledge and expertise with the public with several courses dealing with various options concepts, as well as the risks and benefits of learning to trade options.
Additionally, I am an author and audiobook narrator of over 35 books (Audible), and continue my pursuit of writing and publishing.
