First, thanks for all that you do.? To have a job that you love, and one that does so much good for so many families is a great blessing to all of us.? I am a new retiree, and a recent subscriber. I followed your posts for at least two years before pulling the trigger. Knowing that you and your group were there gave me the courage to retire?a little earlier than I would have - maybe by four or five years.
So, how do you thank someone who has given you an extra couple of years of life? Thanks for those extra years, and for the possibility of growing what we have, and might receive in the future, into something that might help our grandchildren get a good start on their educations and their lives in a few years.

It was great seeing you today in Atlanta. Thank you for just being you. As I mentioned, there's so much "crap" out there that's it's so nice to just hear it straight.
Several years ago I finally realized it just doesn't matter what I think, only what is (although I still cringe sometimes). That's the hard part. Actually finding the truth.
Even harder is how to act on it! And risk management. I have much to learn but I was glad to find out how much I do understand. (But I'll never be a coder! Too late for that.)
I'm looking forward to your options video book coming out soon. I will study hard and try to be a model student you can be proud of. Then I can write that glowing thank letter you enjoy using in your newsletters!
Safe journeys! I'll continue to live vicariously through your travels via newsletter, although I'd take you up on being your welcoming committee at your events!

My financial advisory clients, by and large, have expressed a desire to be kept in the loop once a quarter and when it matters in between, but don't want to hear from me on an ongoing constant basis. ?I know because I've asked.
They are mostly retired, conservative by nature, and want to enjoy life while trusting that I know what I'm doing. ?I often get my talking points from you, and it's interesting to watch the relief on their faces when I talk, for example, about the millennials being the hope behind the national debt.
I point out that we have something China and Japan don't have--a large group of young people coming up the pike. ?For them those talking points bring a great sig of relief.
I'm going into some detail because it's something to think about when you're marketing your service. ??

I retired eight years ago, and my broker told me to hang in there with my stocks before the recession, so I saved myself a lot of money and closed the account.? In 2009 I started paying for advice and investing on line.?
A blind chicken could have made a fortune in 2009, and I did well.?But it got harder, so I added advisers.? John Thomas was one I added in 2010.?
Since then, my TAX FREE profits have been greatly improved.? Last year I made more than 80% on the information that I received from the Mad Hedge Fund Trader.?
I am not a day trader (I belong to a country club and play golf daily) but I also subscribe to Mad Day Trader service.? Now I have John's in-depth experience combined with Jim's analytical timing.?
I spend about ten to fifteen hours a week on my investments, and played 120 rounds of golf last year.? Year-to-date, my investments are up 50% with Mad Hedge Fund Trader advice, I just completed my 40th round of golf, and my wife thinks she is the sole sustainer of our local plant nursery.?
Thanks John and Jim.? I could not live like this without your VALUABLE effort.

I was pondering an FXE trade alert from MHFT today when my cell rang with a Berkeley, CA area code. Since I know a couple people in that part of the world, I answered, and it was none other than John Thomas.
Had I not heard his voice on the MHFT webinars, I would have thought I was being conned. But given that I?m in the last month of a trial run, he actually called to find out how I was doing with the service and what I thought.
Here?s the short version of what I told him.
I?m a pretty experienced investor, but definitely not sophisticated when it comes to using options, or for that matter, trading currencies and commodities.
My first trade with MHFT ? an (FXY) vertical call spread ? literally scared the hell out of me, so I used a tiny position size. I think I made around $900 ($400 more than my trial subscription, so there?s that).
But through the process of using John?s trade ideas, I learned. Fast. Nothing will help you grasp the potential of option strategies like doing them. And as I write this, I have multiple positions on courtesy of MHFT that are on track to deliver double digit percentage gains in a matter of weeks!
I can?t quite comprehend how he knows so many well-placed people, but he?s incredibly adept at grabbing insights from them, turning these into an investment thesis, and making it incredibly clear and actionable to his reader base.
One day he?s writing about a chat with a three star general and the next you?re buying a call spread on Palo Alto Networks. He connects the dots in a ridiculously useful way.
But it?s more than just the idea, it?s the timing of the idea. The world is full of people who can say ?hey, cyber-security is a big deal.? Or, ?wow, the euro is getting killed.? But the actual trade execution to profit from that in the near term? He?s freaky good.
I also love the defined exit strategy. Look, if you?re the most disciplined human on the planet and never let a bad trade turn into a long term ?investment,? more power to you.
I am not. I hate when I do it, but it?s happened more than once. With MHFT, the exit is well marked. You can?t miss it. Personally, I find that removes significant stress, not to mention risk.
Today, I was over at my local Schwab office ? before John called ? and was raving about MHFT. Not stark raving. Good raving. I?d be surprised if they aren?t signing up for a trial as I write this.
John, thanks for the call. That was a really nice surprise.
But more importantly, thanks for great work, thinking, and ideas. Enjoy your travels and I look forward to meeting you at one of your conferences.

Thank you for talking with me on the phone right before Christmas.? I enjoyed our conversation and look forward to meeting you at your Incline Village Global Strategy Luncheon in the spring.?
I will also look forward to the hike up to 12,000 ft. after our lunch, (are you sure you want to spot me by carrying a 60 lbs pack?). I usually stop running at 12,000 just saying. LOL.?
