I was able to get the short Invesco NASDAQ Trust (QQQ) tech trade today and I took profits on a few things and got out of margin on your last warning.
I have done well keeping up with the global alerts for the last couple months and that portfolio is looking good. I was able to fire off an extra (TLT) short and a (TSLA) long trade that seem on solid footing for this monthly expiration, which I think was a tip from your call last month.
The tech trades, (MU) and (PINS) blew up, unfortunately. I seem to do better with tech if I just buy the shares and forget about them. I took a +106% gain on (BNTX) shares and a few other gains that were your tips from earlier in the year.

Actually, I just got started with investing as I’ve been living close to the edge raising kids all these years. I had $100K that I could float for a few months so I had it in the Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Diversified Equity Income Fund (ETY) until my old golf buddy/broker told me about you and your Tesla (TSLA) advice.
So, I went all-in on December 30. It’s the best move I ever made. I’m an entrepreneur/risk-taker so I bought as much Apple (AAPL) and NVIDIA (NVDA) on the way down as I could, which obviously turned out far better than I ever hoped.
So, like I said, it seems now or never for me. So, I subscribed to your Mad Hedge Biotech & Healthcare Letter and I’m going to do the best I can with it.

Damn, you’re good! I loaded the boat with all your trade alerts. I’m grinning ear to ear.
I will contact you soon to discuss investment strategy for fresh piles of cash. I’m thoroughly enjoying Concierge Service and The Bitcoin Letter, and look forward to your mentorship navigating this turbulent market in 2022.

After I got off the phone with you, I went onto your website and listened to two videos on options.
For me, the best thing about the videos were that they were only 20 minutes long and they stuck to the basics – no selling, no superfluous chatter.
After talking with you the other night and listening to you over the years, I got the gist faster than I thought I would. The problem with listening to all videos at the end of the day is that one is so darn tired, and it becomes hard to focus to learn yet another subject!
But your video worked. I will have to listen again to make sure I understand everything properly but no worries for me to do that.
BTW, I did what you recommended and ended up laddering the MSFT options, 4.10, 4.05, 4.00 and it worked, and I now have six contracts and they are all up.

I absolutely loved and was fascinated with the latest concierge information. I remember discussing this with you on the phone a month and a half ago and to watch it become reality and read what is happening is a level of involvement that normally I would not be party to.
Of course, it helps make BETTER commercial and personal decisions--- for which I am grateful and thankful.
It is so great that your expertise has been not just noticed and appreciated by the American government--- but that they are actually listening and acting–– Thank you from all of us

First, thank you for your service! I’m in awe of your ongoing incredible accomplishments and service to your country, your zest for life and nature, your sense of humor, your stories, and all while delivering crushing investment returns. Thank you and well done!
As for me, I became a Mad Hedge Fund Trader Global Dispatch Service subscriber November 2020 and “tested” the service by trading your monthly options spread Trade Alerts in an IRA with $25K. New to call and put spreads, my profits for the first month covered my subscription fee. And I’ve managed to execute almost all Trade Alerts within the suggested price range, usually close to or at your price.
Well, I’ll let you do the math. The Global Dispatch Service Trade Alerts delivered a return of 90.01% in 2021, and 60.98% YTD 2022! Are you kidding me? Absolutely not! Test score? A+! All in!
I may have to get up crazy early for the US stock market open at 3:30 a.m. here in Honolulu, but I’m riding waves by 10:30 a.m., done for the day. I’ve just liquidated all my assets, and recently became Trustee of a Family Trust, which also liquidated all assets. I am now investing approximately $2.75 million in cash. I’m nearly 100% cash with John Thomas in my corner just a phone call away. Of course, I’ve begun purchasing LEAPS, and I’m holding a very large amount of this month’s options spreads. And thank you for your unsolicited phone call last Friday! I look forward to our next call, and hope to see you in person soon.
I’m extremely satisfied and secure in knowing that I can maintain a well-diversified and hedged investment portfolio, earning monster returns in both a long-term barbell portfolio, and a short-term deep-in-the-money options spread portfolio, while maintaining highly risk-averse portfolio management.
REALIZING income for the Family Trust each and every month, while maintaining a large average daily cash position, allows me to lock-in outsized returns, AND remain highly risk-averse. I return to 100% cash every single month, and hold a large percentage of cash most of the year. And earnings are not just on paper, they’re actual earnings…in CASH! Not only is the Family Trust realizing large returns, it’s ready to distribute cash in entirety every month, should the need arise, as the majority of funds sit in cash most of the year. I’m ready to accept my award for Trustee of the Year.
Needless to say, I am renewing your Concierge Service. I’ll earn the subscription fee back, and more, during the first month of renewal.
I’m now ready to get to $10 million ASAP, and look forward to speaking with you again, Obi-Wan!

I want to thank you for getting me and my portfolio through this stressful year. Through the use of breathing techniques, listening (and relistening) to your biweekly webinars, and reading your letters, I managed to have a monster year - up 600% YTD.
I look forward to your thoughtful insights and money printing trade alerts in the years ahead.

I hope you remember me. We once met at a luncheon in Paris a number of summers ago.
Thank you for the suggestion you made during the January 31 webinar about the launch of the Mad Hedge Technology Letter. After the first issue, I bought Micron Technology (MU).
I bought two July $39 Calls for $7.80 and two January 2019 $37 Calls for $11.40. On February 26, I sold one of the July calls for $11.00 (+40.7%) and today the second for $15.70 (+100.0%) for a total profit of $1,105.51.
I still have an unrealized profit of $1,718 on the January 2019 calls. So, if I sell those now, I will have earned $2000 with this trade.
We once met at a very scarcely attended luncheon in Paris a number of summers ago.
Kind regards,
Dirk Belgium
John Thomas reply: Good work Dirk! Let’s meet in Paris again for lunch this July.
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.
