Graham Martin, Accountant

Video Greetings: Hi There, My name is Graham Martin and I'm speaking to you from my home in Southampton. And as you will have possibly guessed from my accent, that is Southampton in England. I'm a chartered accountant or what you Americans call a C.P.A. It's over 40 years since I first started in Accountancy. And I'm still a ??? for a local professional practice. I'm also a CEO of a modest family engineering company and involved in a few other businesses. I've always been interested in stocks and shares. I bought my first shares when I was 17. My style of investment has always been to buy and to hold. This method over the long term has served me very well. About 5 years ago, I got interested in the American market and started actively trading via the internet on the US market. I researched the internet and found loads of free information and articles and eventually found the Trend Rider. And from there I found Chris Rowe and became his disciple.

Anyway, I'm here to endorse Chris and the training products he has created. The reason why, with such a busy life, I got into share and option trading was not to make money, but to keep my mind active with half an eye on my retirement years. I find it fun and the income I've earned is a nice bonus. I think it's the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad that says everyone should have a hobby but that hobby should earn them money.

I understand that Chris has now a new training product that he's about to release and he's called it Options GPS. He's been working on this for a long time. Well, I for one, will be first in the queue for Options GPS, as I know it will more than pay for itself with the knowledge I gain. With that, I will close by saying goodbye, have fun and enjoy your trading."

Most Successful Trades: I have possibly a dozen I have made over $1,000 on which would normally be in excess of 50%. The best I could find on a quick review was 26Mar08 COG bought a Jan09 Call for $3462 and closed position on 10Apr08 for $5538 a profit of $2076 in two weeks.

Dave Neely, Denton, TX

Hi, I’m Dave Neely from Denton, TX in the United States. I’m just an ordinary guy. I have no background in business, finance or economics. I just have a dream to support myself and my wife through trading the markets. I’ve been pursuing this dream for a little over 5 years now. I’ve been through a number of trading education programs, including one very large, well known and very expensive program. What I found is that there is some useful information, there’s some information that, well it doesn’t quite meet the road, the theory doesn’t quite pan out when you’re trading real time markets. Then there’s some flat out bunk especially when it comes to options education.

I had the privilege of being associated with Ron Ianieri starting about two years ago. Ron is just one of the (most) outstanding instructors I’ve ever run across. But when it comes to options education, he really stands alone. He’s taught professional as well as retail traders. He has a real passion for the subject. He’s completely committed that all of his students understand the theory, the proper application of htat theory when it comes to the strategies, choosing the right strategies for the opportunities found, how to continue through that trade in the most profitable manner as far as adjusting more or flat out getting out if that’s what’s called for. He, through his teaching, has provided me with the knowledge, and the ability, the insight to become very profitable in up markets, down markets, sideway markets.

My portfolio this year today, this is the towards the end of August 2009, I’m ahead 85% – that’s total return on my portfolio, but I’ve only had about half of my available cash in the market at any one time, so to me, that’s outstanding returns and much better than anything that I’ve gotten in the previous 5 years of trading.

One trade in particular – as an example of what I’ve learned through Ron, Bank of America ... Click here to watch the whole interview »

Hi, this is Sarah Rich in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. And I'm here to thank my options instructor, Ron Ianieri, from the bottom of my heart, Ron - thank you. You've done such an excellent job teaching me options that going to change my whole financial future.

When I came to you, I was primarily a stock trader. And I wanted to learn options to kind of protect and add a little bit to that. I knew that they were important and I tried for years to learn them and now I know that options are a much better way to control risk and they're very cost effective and I rarely trade stock anymore.

During my years of searching for options instruction, I sent for a lot of materials, took a lot of courses, the first one that I did was a weekend in a hotel meeting room ... pretty well known outfit and they threw so much at us in that weekend, so many strategies my head was spinning. I was completely confused. I thought, "Wow, options are really risky and confusing and I don't know if I can ever learn this." Well, your teaching is different, you take it step by step, you're vey patient, you start with the basic fundamentals, the essential foundation - what is an option, how does it work, what's the theory? When you learn that, which the other people sort of glossed over, I guess they thought it was too hard for us to comprehend, but when you learn that the strategies are so much easier to understand because then you know why you're doing what you're doing what you're doing. And your insight into the markets lately has really helped me. It saved me a lot of money. It's saved me some losses. I made some money on the banks that were falling from what I learned from you. When they turned back around, I made some money on the way up with stock replacement puts on the way down and stock replacement calls on the way up. You taught us valuable, valuable stuff about premium collection so now I know I don't have to rely on a major move up or a major move down in the market - the directional stuff, you know to make money I can sell options too, what a concept. Now I understand that so much better than I did from the other people. I feel like I can do that, I'm not scared of it, and not scared of options at all anymore ...

Video: Hi, I'm Robert Delorenzo, I'm from Richmond, VA. My background is I practice medicine, I've been practicing medicine for over 20 years. I first came into contact with CRISS and Trend Rider approximately 2 years ago by my signing up with IFII. I've been a big fan of CRISS and Trend Rider ever since and it's had a major impact on my investment strategy.

I got involved with this course to learn how to read the markets and to be a smarter investor. The CRISS program I think is the best and most comprehensive program available to teach you how to do that. After doing that, I got very interested in working closer with Chris through Trend Rider. And he writes that program as if he's sharing his ideas of investing and strategies with you. And he also exposed me to using options through that course. This information and training has had a major impact on my investment strategies and I've more than doubled my portfolio since I started using these products.

I'm writing this testimonial because I've gotten to know Chris, I think very highly of him. I find him to be an outstanding educator and I'm excited about OptionsGPS. I've learned through Trend Rider that using options can greatly decrease your risk and also give you the ability to stay in a trade for longer periods of time. I hope this has been helpful and I'm greatly looking forward to OptionsGPS."

Most Successful Trades: CRISS taught me how to play both sides of the market. I can now go short as easily as I can go long. I also learned how to read the market from CRISS. In the summer of 2008 I used the techniques in CRISS to see the market collapse as it developed. I made several major trades as the market collapsed. I almost felt guilty making money as the market imploided. CRISS taught me how to evaluate bottoms. I got out near the bottom and was ready to pounce on the March 2009 increase in the markets. Using CRISS, I was prepared for these major changes. I didn't loose money in my portfolio, I made a killing. Thank you CRISS.

We’ve been students of Ron’s for close to two years and I think we’ve learned everything about options from A-Z. Ron is the best teacher that you’ll find out there. He is the most enthusiastic, passionate and has the most knowledge.

Ron was a floor trader for many years and he brings that knowledge to the table. He teaches you all about what’s going on on the other side of the trade and why options work the way they work. There are not that many instructors who can teach you that much about the Greks and other option strategies.

Prior to taking Rons classes, Cathy and my experience was at best minimal. Trial and error. We took a number a classes at great expense from these “so called gurus” out there who really absolutely knew nothing about what an option is what makes it work and how to make money using them. And they focus on being talking heads and I don’t think they really even understood it.

Ron in his classes, at the end of every class, he’ll talk about current market conditions, what’s happening today, not sugar-coated commentary on what’s happening. You find that on television and the talking heads anywhere. He’s funny, enthusiastic, he’ll keep you awake. He’ll make sure that you understand it and he’ll pound it in you until you do understand it.
