WHAT ARE OTHERS SAYING ABOUT DERIVATIVE DIGEST?
GAME CHANGER
_"At first, I was resistant to the idea of covered call writing as an
investment strategy. I have been investing in stocks a long time, and
my feeling with options were that they were a suckers game. I didn't
appreciate the value of this strategy. I am glad that Tom has a 100%
satisfaction guarantee on his newsletter. Otherwise, I might never
have given it a shot. His advice has changed my buy-and-hold strategy
to a buy-hold-and-write strategy. My investment income has
skyrocketed!" - Brian B, Terre Haute, IN_
HONEST REPORTING
"_I like the down to Earth writing style of the newsletter. Each
month's edition starts with a recap of the past month's results from
the recommendations that were made. That way, I can continue to track
the results of his recommendations and see how my investments would
have performed. I am still a novice at covered call and hedged covered
call investing, but I like this down to Earth honest approach unlike
most of the overhyped newsletters_" - Jim, Houston
ACTIONABLE ADVICE
_"Thanks for the advice! I wish I had been doing this for the past
decade. Maybe I would have actually made real returns during this lost
decade" - Bob B., Clinton_
OPTIONS ACTION REWIND
_"I appreciate the advice on the anti-volatility investments, but
what I really like the most is the Options Action Rewind Newsletter
that you issue in conjunction with the Newsletter each week. I like
the show, and I don't always follow the trades they recommend since it
is so quick. This gives me the opportunity to review them at my pace"
- Neal L., Marshal_
STRATEGY LAB
_"I liked the strategy lab comparison between the in-the-money and
out-of-the-money call spreads in last month's edition. It is nice to
have a breakdown between strategies each month. It gives me a better
understanding. Thanks! Keep up your great work" Jason K.,
Indianapolis_
EASY TO UNDERSTAND
_"This is some of the most no-brainer stuff I have ever encountered.
I wish I knew the right way to do this years earlier! I wouldn't have
lost so much sleep worrying about my retirement accounts. You have
given me the tools to take a lot of the risk out of equity investing."
- Tim B., Chicago_
ARE YOU FEARFUL OF SHORT TERM MARKET VOLATILITY?
DO YOU DESIRE TO PROTECT YOUR HARD EARNED WEALTH?
DO YOU WANT TO MASSIVELY INCREASE YOUR INVESTMENT INCOME?
IF YOU ANSWERED YES TO ANY OF THOSE QUESTIONS, YOU NEED THE
DERIVATIVE DIGEST.
Hi, my name is Tom Burkett. In 2008, I (along with all of us)
witnessed the harshest selloff in the US equities market in most of
our lifetimes. I saw the value of my personal accounts and those
around me plummet in value. Many people have left the stock market
altogether due to fear, and a lack of trust in the markets themselves.
And who could blame them? This was the most painful period in equity
investing in my lifetime so far. And I hope it will always remain the
most painful period in my lifetime.
BUT, WHAT IF IT ISN'T?
That last question remains the number 1 reason that investors have
left the market and have fled risk assets for more safety. As of this
writing, the 10 yr US Treasury provides an unspectacular yield of
1.9%. This flight to safety has created a risk/reward profile that is
negative this instrument. In other words, the 10 yr US Treasury is
overpriced. And your real return is very likely going to be negative
for this 10 yr holding period. This "safe" investment is quite likely
going to provide a negative real return. At the rate our fiat money is
being printed, inflation will more than likely exceed 1.9% over the
next 10 years. In a way, I hope it does! That doesn't sound very safe
to me! And many investors agree which is one reason why other "safe
havens" have skyrocketed in value as well. Gold and Silver have shot
through the roof! The spot price of Gold exceeds $1900 an ounce. And
Silver was recently as high as $50 an ounce. Less than 10 years ago, I
was buying silver for about $5 an ounce. I want to warn you that none
of these "safe havens" are safe any longer. There is a lot of fluff in
the market for these metals. Look what happened to silver when the
margin requirement was increased. Within a few days of this increased
margin requirement, silver fell off a cliff losing more than 20
percent of its value and falling to $40 an ounce. This signalled
renewed interest in the metal thinking this pullback was only
temporary. But, with the weakness in Europe, I predict another round
of injury to anyone in these metals at least in the short term as the
US dollar will probably spike in value relative to other currencies.
Also, the margin requirement for gold was also recently increased.
This will, at some point, injure the price of Gold as well. Any minor
downward move in price is going to cause margin calls which will
ampify the injury in this gold bubble.
SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?
And here lies the most relevant question! What should you do? You are
scared about the impacts of short term wild swings in equity valuation
because you either need your funds fairly soon, or are sickened by the
roller coaster ride on Wall Street. And you understand the rate of
returns that "safe havens" provide are extremely low and might very
well provide negative real returns. It might be difficult to believe,
but the only real "safe haven" is to own solid companies that produce
long term value for shareholders. This is not rocket science. If you
are still reading this, you are smart enough to intuitively know this
simple fact. But, that doesn't take away the anxiety in equity
investing. Nor, does it remove the volatile nature of equities. Many
experts in the field suggest that as we near retirement or are in
retirement we should greatly reduce our exposure to equity markets.
There are great reasons why this suggestion is made. The main reason
is that equities are "risky". And the selloff in recent years is PROOF
POSITIVE of this reality. Equities do not go straight up! And
sometimes they seem to go STRAIGHT DOWN! The nearer we are to needing
funds tied up in equities, the less time we have on our side for the
long term value in equities to rebound upon a selloff....
FINALLY, THE SOLUTION!
In an effort to find a solution to this problem, I went to work! I
took graduate courses at Harvard where I studied Crisis Management,
Finance, and Accounting. I wanted to find a solution to prevent future
crises from impacting my financial life and those around me. I have
been applying this solution to help individual investors generate
INCOME from their investments and systematically REDUCE RISK in their
holdings utilizing the derivatives market. This is an exceptional
value at even $200/mo. Which some individual investors already
regularly pay me for this advice. However, I am not going to ask you
for anywhere near $200/mo. For a limited time only, I am offering this
time tested advice in The Derivative Digest Premium newsletter for the

THE DERIVATIVE DIGEST
Each month I summarize the results from the previous month's
recommendations. I make specific recommendations on covered calls, and
hedged covered calls based on my rigorous screening criteria. The
equities recommended are high dividend paying companies that are
undervalued from a discounted cash flow basis. These equities also
have the added benefit of having covered call premiums that exceed 3%
for the coming month or a minimum of a 36% annualized static rate of
return. As covered calls and hedged covered calls are an
anti-volatility trade, I am also screening for equities that have
relatively low volatility (beta 1 or less, implied volatility
