I want to thank you for getting me and my portfolio through this stressful year. Through the use of breathing techniques and devotion to reading your new letters, I managed to have a monster year. I am up 338% YTD.
I look forward to trading alongside you in the years ahead and can’t wait to meet you in person at one of your Tahoe seminars.

The small cost of this newsletter pays for itself a thousand times over. My returns mimic those of your portfolio for the year and for that I am grateful.
The only suggestion I would offer is to keep doing what you are doing. It is people like you that will help return the once storied name to Wall Street.
Quick question: I have $500,000 on the sidelines reserved for Tesla (TSLA) investment. I have been waiting for a correction, too long maybe. Any argument to keep waiting?
By the way, I’m thanking you again for my $300,000 investment in Apple (AAPL) as encouraged by you, which is now worth $2.2 million.

Answer: Tesla is likely to see a selloff after it joins the S&P 500 on Monday, December 21. All of the buying for the past six weeks, or $250, has been driven by this one event. Tesla has a long history of 40% corrections after key announcements so I would look to get back in then. Otherwise, keep doing the deep-in-the-money call spreads that I have, made possible by the extremely high 96% implied volatility in the options market. That is four times the (SPX) volatility.

Hey John and the MAD Team, here’s an advance Happy New Year!
You really nailed and keep nailing great reversals and trends that are just beginning to deserve a watchful eye. I nailed it today, so far, just buying the JPY pairs, and shorting the big bond, this past couple of weeks.
I’m still a bit stuck on futures, but I realize the safety in your spreads is a lot smarter…Thx for all you know and for all you do.

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to answer me back. I am going to hang in there.
I like your newsletter because the unbiased perspectives you share and the way in which you look at market opportunities in a realistic, factual manner. I am just hoping to turn that advantage into profit and learn.
I don’t like financial advisors as they open your account, offer canned advice, and disappear after they take your money. I want to have the independent skills needed to manage my own wealth, as I grow old.
I don’t expect that to happen overnight or without advice, but I am hoping that your newsletter is something above par not just in appearance, but in results.
Time will tell.
Thank you again for returning my emails. That says a lot.

Your posts are probably the least boring of any mentor(s) out there. Please keep up the good work.
By the way, I may have flown in that Tiger Moth back in the early 70s. My dad learned to fly on Tiger Moths right after the war in south England and we used to visit his home turf when I was a boy.
At Red Hill, we used to fly G-ACDC mostly, but I also had the privilege to ride in the Fox Moth and DH.60 Gipsy Moth. Small world. :)
I just want to thank you for all your help over the past few years learning to trade.
Your recommendation in May 2019 to buy the Tesla Convertible bonds remains the best performing position in my portfolio. It is up an amazing 415% since I bought it.
My only regret is that I have not followed your advice more thoroughly, like when you suggested I go to cash in January.
Keep up the good work, I intend to follow your advice for years to come.
