Prosit nochmals und weiter geht es!

Ich habe doch gleich wieder was zu lesen für Euch:

Dear Daily Reckoning reader,

As I'm sure you're aware, the major indexes didn't fair too well in 2000...
the Nasdaq was down nearly 40% for the year and more than 50% off its March
10 high of 5048... the Dow and S&P 500 were off 6% and 10% respectively...
proving conclusively that the only real law working its magic on Wall Street
is the Law of Pervervse Outcomes: people get what they deserve, not what they
expect.

But just because the Nasdaq finished the year 2000 with its greatest loss in
history - or just because the Dow is up one day, down the next - doesn't
mean you can't be making money. In fact, as I'll show you in a moment, this
market is an"options" traders dream.

In fact, that's why I'm writing to you today. I want to introduce you to a
unique trading system used by only a select few"options" traders...which
you'll see has one of the year's best track records... certainly more
impressive than anyone following the performance of the major indexes this
year.

Option Trading is"In His Blood"

But first, let me introduce you to Steven Sarnoff... the man behind the
system which has been consistently turning profits of 7% and 838% - even
while the"markets" have been heading south. Steve is an extremely successful
options expert. By"successful" I mean that he's able to consistently make a
lot of money for himself those who follow his advice.

What's his secret? Well... in his own words:

"Sometimes I'm asked how I was able to become so successful in such a
difficult game. I simply tell them I learned from the best - and that options
have been"in my blood" since I was a child. My father, Paul Sarnoff, gained
international fame on Wall Street as a master options trader. You may have
read about him, or seen him on the financial channels from time to time.

A true pioneer in this field, he offered the very first options trading
classes to ordinary investors back in the 1950s. Twenty-two people paid $25
to listen to his very first session. Five weeks later, those who applied his
advice were $50,000 richer.

Word got out fast and his next session drew 200 people, including a man my
father befriended named Billy Madison. Billy Madison was a rich man who
wanted to be richer. And that he did. Using options, and the advice my father
gave him, his $8 million portfolio mushroomed to $45 million over the next
four years.

It wasn't long before a moneymaking legend was born. And over the next half
century he made billions for thousands of people who he offered his
recommendations and taught his secrets to, including subscribers to his
private options advisory service called Paul Sarnoff's Options Hotline."

What does all this have to do with Steve? And how can it help you get rich?

Plenty.

Some 30 years ago, Steve's father took Steve under his wing to learn the
craft of options trading. It took 25 years, but Steve - through hard work and
intense study - became his father's peer. And in 1995, joined him as
co-editor of Paul Sarnoff's Option Trader in 1995 - the very service that has
produced the substantial profits which are the subject of this letter. One of
the most important things Paul Sarnoff taught Steve and his other students
about options is this:

Trading options is the best way to get very rich, very quickly. That, he
would say, is a"hands down" fact.

Nowhere else can you routinely double and triple your money in a matter of
weeks...sometimes days. Nowhere else is it possible to earn five, seven -
even 10 times your money in a month or two. (Eighteen Options Hotline trades
made last year earned 100% or better...6 earned 300% or better!)

It's rare to make these kinds of fast profits by trading the stock
alone...but with options you can. Quite routinely, in fact. With the right
information and knowledge, trading options is like a license to print money!

What makes options such a powerful and profound money-maker?

One word: leverage.

Let me explain...an option gives you the right to buy (or sell) a specific
stock, at a certain price, within a specific period of time. If it's the
right to buy a stock at a certain price, it's known as a"call" option. If
it's the right to sell a stock at a certain price, it's called a"put"
option. The reason options can be so profitable is that they allow you to
"rent" the stock - albeit temporarily and with conditions - for a fraction of
the cost of owning it.

It works much like a mortgage - only with no monthly payments. If you buy a
house for $200,000 cash and you sell it a few months later for $220,000 -
you've made 10% on your investment. However, if you put $20,000 down on your
$200,000 house and someone offers you $220,000 a few months later - you've
made 100% on the money you have in.

That's leverage at work. And options work much the same way. And they work
whether the market goes up or down. Let me give you a real life example.

Late last year, the Options Hotline market-charting system indicated Intel
was due for a jump in price. As you'll see from the track record included
with this e-mail, when the system makes a call, it means 1) the price is
going to move fast and, 2) it usually going to be right.

Knowing that, you have two choices. You can buy the stock outright and wait
for it to climb. Or you can buy options.

Had you not considered options - and bought Intel stock outright - you would
have done just fine. Two weeks after the stock went from $82.50 per share to
$103. So... assuming you bought 100 shares of the stock, your $8,250
investment would have grown to $10,300 - a nice 25% gain in a matter of two
weeks.

...$50,000 in Profits v. $2,000...

But look at what would have happened had you bought options...or more
specifically, had you followed the advice delievered in Options Hotline in
December of 1999 and bought January 2000 $90 call options. For $225, you
could have owned the right to buy 100 shares of Intel at $90 until the
options expired the third Friday of January 2000.

Now, had Intel's price fallen below $90 by the time expiration date rolled
around, you would have lost your $225. No more, no less. That's because no
one would have been willing to pay you $90 for a stock that was selling for
cheaper on the open market...

But that's not what actually happened...

Instead, Intel's price shot up to $103. And because you owned the right to
buy 100 Intel shares at $90, the intrinsic value of each option position was
now $1,300 - the difference between $90 and $103 multiplied by 100 shares.
But because there's a premium built into the price, the real value of the
option is often several dollars higher than the intrinsic value.

That was the case on January 14, 2000 - one week before the option was set to
expire. The actual market value - the price someone else was willing to pay
for your Intel January $90 call option was $1,637 - over $1,400 more than the
$225 you paid for it just two weeks ago.

So instead of risking over $8,000 to buy the 100 shares outright and earn 25%
profits, you could have bought options controlling 100 shares for $225 - and
made a 628% profit in the same period of time. Had you invested that $8,000
in options instead of the stock itself, you could have walked away with over
$50,000 in profits...a far cry from the $2,000 owning the stock would have
paid you!

That's how using controlled-risk leverage can make you rich.

For every 1% Intel's stock rose in price, your option increased in value by
over 25%. And when you combine that explosive profit potential with the
safety of"controlled risk" where, unlike most leverage instruments, you can
never lose more money than you put up - it's practically a license to print
money!

838% Gains in 6 Weeks

And here's something else. Options aren't just good on name-brand stocks like
Intel. You can make a lot of money buying options of lesser-known stocks that
tend to have big moves when market conditions are right...

Case in point: Duke Energy.

A few months back, the deregulation of electricity producers meant certain
well-positioned energy companies would benefit. The Options Hotline charts
and analysis showed Duke Energy as one of those that would.

On July 31, 2000, you could have bought 100 Duke shares for just under $6,200
- and watched your investment grow to around $8,400 in about a month and a
half. Again, that's pretty good...

Or you could have followed the Options Hotline recommendation and bought Duke
Energy January $70 calls for $181.25. Remember, buying those"call" options
give you the right to sell Duke Energy shares for $70 any time before the
third Friday in January 2000.

Within six week, Duke Energy jumped from $62 to $84 per share. The intrinsic
value of your options was $1,400 ($84 less your $70 option price = $14 X 100
shares)...but with the added premium, the amount people were offering for
your option was worth $1,700!

Had you bought Duke Energy stock outright, your profit would have been $2,200
on a $6,200 investment, a solid 35% gain...

But had you bought $6,200 worth of Duke call options, you would have pocketed
an astonishing $51,956 in profits - an 838% windfall...all in a matter of six
weeks!

That... is the power of options. You get the moneymaking advantage leverage
gives you - plus the piece of mind in knowing your risk is always
pre-determined. In other words, you always know exactly what your risk is
with every trade - yet the upside potential of your investment is virtually
unlimited.

That's exactly how - even during this year's turbulent market - Steve has
been able to wrack up a most impressive track record. He began the year by
reeling off 13 consecutive winners - including trades with quick gains of
315% (Disney), 386% (Cisco), 308% (Dell), 260% (Amgen) and 628% (Intel). Had
you taken a 20-position stake in each of these 13 successes - you could have
walked away with $233,996 in profits in less than a five-month period!

Market Conditions for Maximum Profits Are Ideal.

Up one day. Down the next. This market is an"options" trader's dream. That's
because this is not a market where stock prices are affected primarily by
balance sheet fundamentals. Rather, this is a"reactive" market - a market
driven my raw emotion and"herd mentality". Any stock these days can be
hammered down - or driven skyward - simply on a turn in the mood of the
market. And that's precisely the environment in which Options Hotline works
best.

This past September, the market was beginning to see higher energy prices and
rate hikes instituted by the Fed as a real threat to the economy. Add to that
worries over corporate earnings and the fact we were coming into a
notoriously rough month (October) for the stock market. Bears had seized
control of the bond market, which planted the seed of higher interest rates
in the minds of investors.

Clearly, the markets were in for a rough ride.

Here's what you could have done. On Sunday evening, September 17, 2000, with
the Dow Industrials sitting at 10,927... you could have bought Dow Jones
Industrial Index November 108 Puts for $250 or less, good for that week.

That meant you would have been"betting" that the Dow Industrial Average
would fall below 10,800 on or before the third Friday in November. Using the
exact symbol (DJVWD) you could have bought the"option" on-line - or call
your broker and recite the symbol.

The maximum you would have risked in a single position with this trade was
$250, but there was no limit to the number of positions you could take. Five
options, for instance, would have cost you $1,250. But, again, whatever
amount you risked was the most you could ever lose.

Within days, the market reacted. The Dow Industrial began falling like a
rock. On October 18, the index fell from 10,927 to 9,975...

One month later, our $250 Dow Jones Industrial puts were worth $1,146 each -
a 358% profit. Had you taken 5 positions, you would have walked away from the
trade $4,480 richer!

A lucky break? Not in the least. The Option Hotline charts telegraphed this
event almost to the penny. And Steve says he was confident the charts were
going to be dead right. The system for measuring the underlying"mood" of the
market made it crystal clear. It was just a matter of waiting for the profits
to roll in. And they did - practically on cue.

Then, it happened again.

Later that week the charts indicated Microsoft was headed for new lows. Why?
For one thing, Intel's profit warnings a week earlier were reverberating
throughout the high tech sector. And when the Microsoft's charts revealed
nothing but weakness - up popped another outstanding opportunity to profit.
So on Sunday evening, with Microsoft shares trading at just above $60,
Options Hotline readers were treated to the following clear-cut
recommendation:

"Buy Microsoft January $60 'puts' for $350 or less, good for this week."

That meant Steve was looking for Microsoft shares to fall below $60 before
the third Friday in January, the day when the options would expire. As an
investor, one position would cost you $350. But that's all you could ever
lose. However, in a commentary that accompanied the recommendation, Steve
suggested a drop to $50 per share would result in a 200% profit or better on
each position held.

Sure enough, Microsoft tumbled, hitting a low of $50 three weeks later...

On October 18, our $350 puts were now worth $1,200 each - a 243% gain. Had
you taken just five positions, your profits for the three-week period would
have been $4,250!

Options Hotline readers followed up the Microsoft success with yet another
winner...

Convinced that the market in general - and tech stocks specifically - were
due to continue their slide, Steve searched the charts for the most
vulnerable victim. At $33.50 Oracle Corp looked like just the ticket. The
share price had been pressured along with other formerly infallible tech
giants - and its chart suggested a fall to $25 was inevitable. That Sunday
evening, Options Hotline subscribers received this recommendation:

"Buy Oracle December $30 put for $212.50 or less, good this week."

In other words, Steve was looking for Oracle to fall well below $30 before
the third Friday in December, the day our puts were scheduled to expire. If
the stock fell to $25, you'd be looking at a better than 135% profit.

One month later, Oracle flirted with year-to-date-lows...dipping below $25
per share...

November 9, 2000, we had an opportunity to sell our $212.50 December $30 puts
for $700 - a tidy 229% profit in a little over four weeks!

But just in case you're thinking this year's an unusually good year...it
hasn't. From late 1997 to October of 1999, 73 of the 89 trades Steve
recommended were winners, including...

* 110% gains on S&P 500 calls in September of 1997...
* 158% profits on Micron Technology calls in October of 1997...
* 490% profits on Newmont Mining in December of 1997...
* 112% gains with Eastman Kodak in January, 1998...
* 116% profits we made on AT&T in January, 1998...
* 175% gains we made with Barrick Gold in May, 1998...
* 330% gains we scored with Lucent Technologies in February, 1998...
* 125% profits we made with NCR in May of 1998...
* 127% profits we made with a Dow 30 put in the summer of 1998...
* 767% and 141% winners we had with Gillette in just a few months in late
1998 and early 1999...
* 126% profits we made with Motorola in late 1998...
* 124% gains we made with Chase Manhattan Bank at the end of 1998...
* 150% profits earned with Cyrus Amex in early 1999...
* 130% we made on Disney in early 1999...
* 645%, 300% and 700% gains we made with Charles Schwab between January and
April of 1999...
* 34% profits on J.P. Morgan puts in early 1999...
* 118% profits on Kodak calls in the spring of 1999...
* 222% gains on Phelps Dodge calls in early 1999...
* 117% profits on Novell calls in March of 1999...
* 53% profits on 30-year bond calls in the spring of 1999...
* 258% profits we made on Asarco calls in early 1999...
* 100% gains on AT&T calls in the spring of 1999...
* 108% and 238% profits on Hewlett-Packard calls in the spring and summer of
1999...

Plus 46 more winners!

That's what over 50 years of experience can help you do. You can build wealth
faster year after year - no matter what the market does. In fact... just
imagine for a moment what it would be like if the above track record were
your own.

You get a recommendation from Options Hotline over your fax or E-mail on a
Sunday evening. Monday morning, you place the trade on-line or with your
broker (the service tells you everything you need to know - right down to the
ticker symbol for the option being recommended.) Then each day, you watch the
stock and the option you've bought move in the"right" direction. And each
day your adrenaline pumps a little faster as you see that for every 1% the
underlying stock moves -- your option goes up 20%...30%...even 50%. And it
keeps going up and up and up until such time it hits my target price - or
you're happy with the profits you've made!

Had you been an Options Hotline subscriber the past year, this is a thrill
you would experienced four out of five every times you followed the specific
advice delivered by this unique service. That's because out of the 35
recommendations that hit the"buy" price - 30 of them made profits ranging
from 7% to 838%.

And what's most remarkable, you could have made these profits without having
any more than $20,000 at risk at any given time, due to the fact we're in and
out of trades (usually with profits) so quickly! That's how one reader, a
53-year old photographer from Long Island, invested $5,760 in one of the
Option's Hotline recommendations to take home $58,310 in under three weeks -
a 912% profit!

And a 48-year old businessman from Hawaii pocked a 2,400% profit in a mere 90
days when an Options Hotline recommendation went from $800 to $20,000. A
plastics manager gained $13,802 on his $3,286 investment, collecting a 320%
profit in just over a month!

It's also what prompted these Options Hotline subscribers to write in:

"I started with Options Hotline exactly one month ago. I missed out on three
trades but got in on 1 out of 4 and doubled my money the first time around."

David Roque

"I am a physician and trade at the end of the day. I have followed your
father's recos and now yours. And I'm very impressed by your ability to pick
specific trades with PROPHETIC >WISDOM. Somehow you know what's going to
happen before the rest of us do!"

Dr. Marc Rosenblatt

"Your Barrick call recommendation has given me a profit of $2,150. I await
your recommendations every Sunday!"

Bastiaan VanderLinden

Still another reader wrote in:"I did it. I invested just like you said. And
I want to thank you because...I just made $300,000 in one day."

Not too bad, huh?

If you'd like to join in the profits and subscribe to Options Hotline, now's
a perfect time to get started. Here are the details:

You've learned throughout this letter how Options Hotline works. It's
incredibly easy. Each Sunday (excluding holiday weekends) Steve Sarnoff will
send you his latest recommendation. How you get it is up to you. You can ask
to have it faxed, e-mailed or both. You can even call the hotline number and
punch in your special code and hear a recording of what's on the written
alert.

The thing is...you must have the recommendation in hand Sunday night so you
can place your order at the best price first thing Monday morning. That's why
this service can't be mailed to you, like a newsletter.

As you might have guessed... with a track record like this, Options Hotline
isn't the cheapest service around. And quite frankly, it shouldn't be. Nor is
it for the fly-by-night week-end warrior. This is a serious trading service
for investors who are serious about making money. Having said that, the price
to subscribe to Options Hotline is $995 per year.

That's more than your average investment-style newsletter, granted. But it's
far less than what many advisory services charge that can't touch the success
of Options Hotline. In that regard, it's a very good bargain.

You should know also that there are no discounts or special deals, although
you can elect to pay on a quarterly basis if you like. If you choose that
option, your credit card will be billed $260 every three months, until you
decide to cancel.

Fact is, the subscription price is about equal to the profits you could make
on one single-position trade.

And as always, your satisfaction is guaranteed...if after the first 90 days
you don't like what you see, you'll get a full refund of every cent you've
paid. No questions asked. And after 3 months, you can ask for - and get - a
pro-rated refund for the remaining months on your subscription.

Again, no one will quiz you as to why you want out. It's simple. If Options
Hotline isn't for you, why make things difficult.

Ordering Options Hotline is as easy as profiting from it! Just click on this
link:

https://www.agora-inc.com/secure/form1.cfmpubcode=OHL&pcode=W21365&alias=CG

...and you'll be set up to receive your first recommendation this Sunday.
Market conditions are ideal. There's no reason why the profits won't keep
rolling in. This is your opportunity to hop on board...to get a piece of some
pretty good action.

Don't miss it.

Sincerely,

Addison Wiggin,
The Daily Reckoning
