We all know why trading options is the only way to make any real money in the stock market.

It doesn't even matter if the market tanks 70 points, bounces 1,000 points, or does nothing at all.

You can quickly and easily double your money in any condition.

But here's the single fastest way to cash in your next profit by Monday.

How to Bank a 100% Winner Every Single Week

There's nothing better than doubling your money in a month - except when you double it in under a few days.

So let me introduce you to weekly options ("weeklys" for short).

There are numerous advantages to trading weekly options, including:

  1. They are cheaper than longer-term options.
  2. They make more money, faster when the stock moves the right way.
  3. They only carry a week of time value (also called "extrinsic value") which is simply the option's price minus the amount by which it's in the money (ITM).

Here's an easy way to think about it...

If you think of an option's time value as fuel, weekly options carry less fuel, less weight, and can accelerate faster than an option carrying one month of fuel.

Sign up for SMS so you never miss special events, exclusive offers, and weekly bonus trades.
If a monthly option were a cruise ship, a weekly option would be a speedboat. The cruise ship carries a lot of fuel (time value) and moves slowly and steadily. It has plenty of time to get to where it's going.

The speedboat can run circles around the cruise ship. It's carrying less fuel (time value) and has less time to get to reach its destination (or profit target).

Let's take a look at an example.

On May 20, 2019 - I got a bullish signal on Marvell Technology (NASDAQ: MRVL).

And there were two trades on the radar:

Notice how much cheaper the weekly option is. Two days later on May 22, MRVL popped up a mere 2.4% from $22.06 to $22.60. The weekly option more than doubled our money with a small 2.4% move in only two days. The monthly option provided just over one third the return of interest (ROI) as you can see below:

Now remember, you can buy more than one contract and increase profits. You could have purchased $500 of the MRVL May 24 $22.50 calls and over doubled that in two days.

The point is the ROI on weeklies far exceeds that of traditional monthly options.

In fact, weekly options that pay out big DOUBLE WITH ONLY A 2% MOVE!

But like with anything in the market - there's always a risk...

The stock must move quickly to deliver the profits we want.

With only five days of time to be right with weeklies, if the stock doesn't move or moves the wrong way, you can lose and quickly.

Don't worry, though, because I've got that covered.

Here's my secret sauce...

You must wait until Tom finds a stock option for a dollar or less, which he does often.
