Ken Trester
Managing Editor

Ken started trading options when the first exchanges opened in 1973. 

As the nation's foremost professional options trader Ken is not just an "options educator."  He also actively trades his own account. 

Ken's Strategies
Ken's options success secret is startlingly simple. 

It's a strategy basic to all investing. Ken only recommends cheap, underpriced options. In other words he "buys low and sells high." 

It's a simple theory but hard to put to work unless you have a math genius and computer whiz like Ken Trester on your side. 

The trick is knowing how to find and buy underpriced options. Ken does this by using his computerized modeling system (based on three decades of real time, real life trading) that tells Ken, and you, which options are underpriced. 

How Does Ken Trester Profit?
It's a three-step process:

#1 Once a week Ken runs his proprietary computer program which plucks out the most active, volatile and potentially most profitable stocks for options trading.

He then takes this small handful of stocks and once again runs them through two additional programs that tell him two critical factors: 

#2  Which options will most likely become profitable in the next three weeks. 

#3 Which options are cheap and underpriced. 

Ken's filtering system sizes up thousands of different options every week and identifies the ones that cost far less than their fair theoretical value. 

In Ultimate Options Strategies he recommends several different types of trading in addition to 2 or 3 call or put option trades every week.

Jeff Carter
Senior Editor

Jeff began as an investment advisor in 1986. He has worked side by side with Ken Trester for more than 12 years. His "safety first" outlook served him well through the Crash of 1987 and has been serving him well ever since.

Jeff’s Strategies
Jeff’s options investment success is a simple, three-pronged strategy.

First, he identifies stocks that are undervalued and have little downside risk. Then he uses timing indicators that tell him when the market is reawakening to the stock and the odds of a prolonged uptrend have increased.

Next, Jeff looks for LEAP options on the stocks that are undervalued according to Ken’s pricing models. He also looks for a fundamental undervaluation by comparing the LEAP’s breakeven price with future price estimates for the stock.

Finally, to reduce risk even more and magnify your return, Jeff recommends shorter-term "covered calls" to sell against the LEAP positions. In the past Jeff has been able to reduce a LEAP’s purchase price down to zero using this tactic.

In other words, you ended up getting what amounted to as a "free" investment.
