Download or read book AIM for Millions with Stock Options written by Jeffrey Weber and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-21 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970's, a contrarian investor named Robert Lichello first introduced the Automated Investment Management (AIM) method. AIM is a safe and scientific way to always buy low, sell high, and earn significant profits from the inevitable ups and downs of the stock market. Even with ten of the "boring" Dogs of the Dow stocks, a portfolio that used AIM would have increased 70% from January 2014 to May 2019. How many investors can say they've seen a 70% increase in one of their portfolios over the last five years? With the creation of Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS) in 1990, a unique opportunity to profit even more from AIM was introduced. With LEAPS, investors have the dual benefits of greater control (one contract contains 100 options) plus greater profits due to the larger volatility that comes from options. Investing in the LEAPS of those same ten Dogs of the Dow companies, your portfolio would have increased an exciting 485% over the same timeframe using the AIM method. Subscribers to the monthly JJJ Investing Services newsletter have been able to track these results for themselves. Worth noting - this is NOT day trading. Jeff's system is so efficient and reliable that checking your portfolio once a month (or whenever you are notified about an automatic trade) is sufficient. That is the power of AIM plus LEAPS - and Jeffrey Weber is the world's leading teacher and authority on this remarkable investing method.Now in his third investing book, Jeff applies his extensive experience with never-before published instructions, results, and insights for FAANG investors - those who want to profit from the high tech revolution. (FAANG represents high tech companies dominated by Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google - now Alphabet). Jeff's portfolio of the LEAPS with 10 FAANG companies went from $1,000,000 in January 2016 to $2,698,118 in March 2019. That is a growth of almost 170% in 3 years - and 2018 wasn't a very good year. How does that compare to your results from the tech revolution?Inside this book, you will see the actual calculations, instructions, and online brokerage screenshots that make these results possible. Jeff Weber wants to help as many investors as possible benefit from the AIM investing method. Once you learn how to be a successful AIM investor with LEAPS and FAANG companies, the benefits will pass to you, your children, and your grandchildren. In addition to the theory and strategy behind AIM with LEAPS and FAANG companies, you will learn this detailed information: * How to conduct buy and sell trades with AIM and LEAPS * How to make your trades happen automatically ahead of time - step-by-step instructions with actual screenshots from an online brokerage account * Investors' 8 biggest objections and concerns with AIM and stock options - and Jeff's responses to each of them * BONUS addition: a complete newsletter issue from JJJ Investing Services "AIM provides objective, rational direction for your investments amid the chaos of the markets... If you have tried investing before and experienced anxiety or even outright fear; AIM is the firm, consistent, steady voice that says, 'Don't worry, I'll make the decisions for you...relax.'

Download or read book AIM for Millions with Stock Options written by Jeffrey Weber and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young auditor in the US Army in the 1980's, Jeff Weber discovered Robert Lichello and his Automated Investment Management (AIM) method. Thanks to AIM, Jeff found a reliable way to earn profits automatically and safely from the inevitable market swings that typically bring stress and uncertainty to other investors. With the creation of Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS) in 1990, a unique opportunity to profit even more from AIM was introduced. With LEAPS, investors have the dual benefits of greater leverage (one contract contains 100 options) plus greater profits due to the larger volatility that comes from options. LEAPS also preserve the low-risk philosophy of AIM because they can have a three year period, thus you can safely invest in a company LEAPS for one year or more. With ten of the "boring" Dogs of the Dow stocks, a portfolio that used AIM would have increased an impressive 70% growth from January 2014 to May 2019. Investing in the LEAPS of those same ten companies, however, would have increased the portfolio 485% over the same timeframe using the AIM method. Jeff Weber has been teaching others about AIM with LEAPS since the 1990's as he has continued to refine, expand, and improve it himself. In this, his third investing book, readers receive step-by-step instructions on how to earn profits systematically with AIM through formulas, calculations, and actual screenshots of online brokerage website steps. While any active investor can benefit from this method, special attention is given to FAANG investors - those who want to profit from the high tech revolution. Examples with a FAANG portfolio are featured in this book. If you want to benefit from the greater leverage and volatility of stock options, yet want to avoid risk, uncertainty, and stress that typically comes from options trading, AIM for Millions with Stock Options will give you a proven, automatic process that has made methodical investors happy and wealthy for nearly 50 years, through up and down markets. NOTE TO READERS: This book is available as both a paperback and ebook in order to reach the largest potential audience, however the Author and Editor strongly recommend the full-size and full color paperback version for greater readability and value. The spreadsheets, calculations, and online brokerage screenshots are much easier to view on the 8.5"x11" pages. Taking notes in the margins and using the paperback as a quick reference next to your computer are additional benefits.

Download or read book The Hungry Brain written by Stephan J. Guyenet, Ph.D. and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year From an obesity and neuroscience researcher with a knack for engaging, humorous storytelling, The Hungry Brain uses cutting-edge science to answer the questions: why do we overeat, and what can we do about it? No one wants to overeat. And certainly no one wants to overeat for years, become overweight, and end up with a high risk of diabetes or heart disease--yet two thirds of Americans do precisely that. Even though we know better, we often eat too much. Why does our behavior betray our own intentions to be lean and healthy? The problem, argues obesity and neuroscience researcher Stephan J. Guyenet, is not necessarily a lack of willpower or an incorrect understanding of what to eat. Rather, our appetites and food choices are led astray by ancient, instinctive brain circuits that play by the rules of a survival game that no longer exists. And these circuits don’t care about how you look in a bathing suit next summer. To make the case, The Hungry Brain takes readers on an eye-opening journey through cutting-edge neuroscience that has never before been available to a general audience. The Hungry Brain delivers profound insights into why the brain undermines our weight goals and transforms these insights into practical guidelines for eating well and staying slim. Along the way, it explores how the human brain works, revealing how this mysterious organ makes us who we are.

Download or read book Statistical Inference as Severe Testing written by Deborah G. Mayo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mounting failures of replication in social and biological sciences give a new urgency to critically appraising proposed reforms. This book pulls back the cover on disagreements between experts charged with restoring integrity to science. It denies two pervasive views of the role of probability in inference: to assign degrees of belief, and to control error rates in a long run. If statistical consumers are unaware of assumptions behind rival evidence reforms, they can't scrutinize the consequences that affect them (in personalized medicine, psychology, etc.). The book sets sail with a simple tool: if little has been done to rule out flaws in inferring a claim, then it has not passed a severe test. Many methods advocated by data experts do not stand up to severe scrutiny and are in tension with successful strategies for blocking or accounting for cherry picking and selective reporting. Through a series of excursions and exhibits, the philosophy and history of inductive inference come alive. Philosophical tools are put to work to solve problems about science and pseudoscience, induction and falsification.
