I have benefited greatly from your whole approach to chart analysis, including extreme bands, trend analysis 253/200, William's 30, OB/OS, levels, ADX, CMF, down to up, just to name the most important ones for me.
For almost a year I focused on day trading the levels in the (SPX) and some other symbols.? My results were mixed with losers tending to out weigh winners. ?
Consequently I have been focusing on figuring out option strategies, which take more consistent advantage of the chart analysis tools that you have provided me.
I am now having more success, but still have a long way to go.
Right now, I have a short in (MCD) and (TSLA) expiring on November 18, based on what I interpret from the tools that you have introduced me to.? We will see how they fare.
Anyway, I just want to say that I gain a lot from your training.?
Thanks so much and keep up the good work.

I watched John Thomas for a year before jumping in, and I should have done it earlier when he phenomenally traded that awful year, 2011, that whipsawed so many investors including myself.
He again outperformed the market in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and so far he has shown amazing skill once more in navigating treacherous markets with deep-in-the-money call and put spreads.
You can not exactly replicate his numbers 100% of the time for many different reasons, some of them strictly technical in nature.
But you will get most of them, or you can use his trade alerts just directionally to help you determine where you should put your money and how to allocate your dollars risk on vs. risk off.
I am up 20% trading with John since October 2015. I also like John's in-depth charts, market insights, and his educational webinars, that have become the cornerstone of my market evaluations.
One should never put all eggs in the same basket, but subscribing to the Mad Hedge Fund Trader is a smart way to enhance the performance of your stock portfolio.

I just wanted to tell you what a great find the Mad Options Trader was for you. I stumbled into two of his trades this week and made enough profit to pay for two years of his service. I know he may eventually cool off, but he is hot now.
A short note to thank John for great information and insight. Listening to John?s ideas is awesome and I have committed to myself to keep following his research and trade ideas because the performance has been outstanding.
Regards,

Thank you for the call I received from your staff the other day, but I?m afraid I?m not going to be able to renew my subscription to the Mad Hedge Fund Trader.
There?s nothing I?d like to do more than renew. I truly enjoy your insights on the markets and a description of your many travels. I have been following you for years and it is really a great deal.
However, I am active duty Air Force and recently got a command job. That means I have to go off to the Air War College. I know you didn?t get that far in your service, but consider yourself lucky. I have to read 100 pages a day, and it is a major commitment of time. So I can?t give you the time you deserve.
I hope to re up at a later date.

I am a BIG fan of yours and have rejoined your Trade Alert Service for another year. You have friends around the world you have yet to meet. Enclosed is a token of my appreciation.
Thanks a 100 trillion!

Your background is very impressive and intriguing. You definitely have a lot of valuable and unique experience.
I read your most recent post on activist investing and couldn't agree more. I have always been a fan of activist strategies because even under an assumption of efficient markets, activism can still generate alpha in theory.
I have also heard about how process-oriented investments such as activism or distressed investing, where you have a greater influence over the final outcome, are valuable from a standpoint of downside protection.
I am an independent financial advisor in Atlanta, GA.? We have spoken via email and text a few times.? Historically, you have always been responsive, even to my complaints, and I have always appreciated that.
After canceling my Service a few months ago, I have decided to come back.? In markets like yesterday your insights are just too valuable not to have.? So I am officially again a paid subscriber.
I still think your macro timing is better than your stock picking, but I hope you prove me wrong.? Regardless, you?re still the man.? You should be in the Dos Equis commercials as "the second most interesting man in the world".
Thank you for sharing your insights with the world for the bargain price of $3000 per year.

Congratulations on your success. Your path has been your own and your outside the box thinking is refreshing and powerful. No doubt, you have enjoyed it and yet surprised yourself and others with it over the years.
The reason for my contact is your insight into the inevitability of solar energy costs going to nearly zero. I agree. You clearly understand that this transition is massive to every aspect of our lives - and yet very few "get it".
The next 15-40 years will see a transition that will be founded on virtually free and abundant energy. This abundant, almost zero cost energy will accelerate the effects of medical advances. It will transform our resource sectors from agriculture to mining to chemicals.
It will see manufacturing shift from factories and mass production to local 3D printed products - perhaps even food. It will mean AI and automation... And yes, it will mean that human labor will not be as needed or as valuable. Our relationship to work, income, wealth, etc... will have to change.?
Labor and the nature of work will be a huge challenge. Globalization has decoupled the industrial and wealth agendas from national needs that were characteristic of colonial times.
No longer do US companies like Ford pay higher wages to their employees so that they can afford their products. So, real wages have been effectively flat since the mid '70's. Despite productivity gains, wages go nowhere.
If the market alone were to determine the future of labor, we would simply have more "surplus population" as was defined in the periods?before the 20th?century.
In our world, governments will not survive such a trend. This fact is already responsible for Brexit, Trump, Sanders, Greece...?
I believe that acceleration of the adoption of renewable energy, particularly solar, and the gains achieved from lower cost energy as well as the egalitarian nature of energy wealth afforded by solar is economically and sociologically key to a more peaceful and productive transition to the future.
Massive wealth and power concentrations are threatened by the economic realities of renewables and the distribution of wealth and power therefrom. While they will not go down without a fight, certainly slowing adoption where possible and seeking to replicate their monopolies in a renewable world, they cannot win.
Short of wars and physical devastation in attempts to maintain the "scarcity" that capitalism thrives upon, they cannot prevent the more egalitarian future that abundant, low-cost energy is bringing.
So, thanks for hanging in on my email. I see that you are a free thinking, "somewhat" non-conformist. You get this.
Best wishes and thanks for your insight and your work.
