At the beginning of the year, we talked about a strategy that is used to sell stock without actually owning the shares first.

And as you’ll recall, I said that I’d never  recommend this strategy to anyone. And I’d never use it myself, either.

But you’ve been asking a lot of questions recently about how dangerous this method of capturing gains really is – especially if it’s only used in the short term.

And I know that you’ve even seen articles from financial “gurus” who’ve not only attempted to refute all of the risks involved – but who’ve also promoted it.

So before you consider doing this…

I’m going to show you a much better way to lock in the same types of profits – without all of that risk.

According to the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), the average daily options volume was 6,470 in 1973, the year in which listed, exchange-traded options first launched. Since then, the average daily options volume has increased to 16,443,005 – 2,500 times more than it was over 40 years ago.

And since weekly options started trading, they’ve become the most widely traded of any options class – averaging 25% of any option on the S&P 500.

There’s a reason for this… seven, actually.

The first one alone could double your money this week.

Take a look at all seven…

You know by now that timing is everything.

The problem is…

Most traders feel like they have to sit in front of their computers all day to nail their perfect entries and exits.

But I’m sure you’ve got MUCH better things to do with your time besides staring at stock prices and charts all day – especially as we head into these hot, summer months.

And although computerized trading systems can work for some people, this type of trading doesn’t necessarily give you the full picture – and it doesn’t work for everyone.

Fortunately… you can watch your trades and spend your well-deserved time at the beach – without even looking at your computer.

And it all boils down to these three little orders…

Trading is a timing game.

And when it comes to options in particular, timing is absolutely critical.

Now you may have heard that options are fixed-time investments that expire on a specific date.

While that is true, that “fixed time” feature doesn’t have to work against you.

In fact, it can give you the flexibility to focus your trade the way you want – a flexibility you don’t have with a straight long or short equity position.

But you need to know how to handle this “fixed time” aspect, as it can make the difference between pocketing a small 15% gain and a gigantic 300% winner.

Don’t worry…

I’m going help you get this all down pat right now.

“Only the pros can trade options.”

This is probably the most common delusion about options that’s out there, aside from options being too risky.

But quite the contrary…

Every day, more and more people use options as their trading or investing method. Whether it’s to protect a portfolio of stocks or to take a small, leveraged position to control a larger quantity of stock, options are a great way to profit off any market condition.

Say, for example, that you’re a long-term investor who’s concerned about the safety of your portfolio. You can use options as insurance to help minimize the risk of a correction in the markets.

Likewise, say you want to get in on a hot new tech stock but don’t want to put a lot of capital into a position. Options trading could be the perfect answer for you.

Now last week, we talked about a strategy you can use to start generating income on a monthly basis. But this required you to own the stock in question – something you may not want to do.

So today, I’m going to show another easy way to make money without needing to own the stock first.

And this powerful play could help you squeeze time for cash… and set you up for endless profit potential.
