Dan Delaney will show you how to get the jump on leaders in the next wave of emerging technologies using OPR (other peoples' research). Brice Wightman will teach you the basics of relative strength. Dave Landry will give you a refresher course on short-selling. Read on.

Market Wizard Tony Saliba Teaches You One of the Most Important Concepts In Successful Options Trading

Tony Saliba has been trading options successfully since the early '80s. This weekend, you can learn one of the key components that has enabled him to build a track record that not only includes the steady gains upon which he has built his Market Wizard status, but also:

• Huge gains during the 1987 crash and similar events in 1989, 1991, 1995, 1998 and 2000.
• A run in which he earned $100,000 every month for six years straight.

Up until now, Tony has given you an overview of some of the strategies that the "thinking" options professional uses to methodically earn a living -- month after month, year after year. I highly recommend that you review these lessons: Introduction To Options Spreading, An In-Depth Look At Vertical Option Spreads, Part I, and An In-Depth Look At Vertical Option Spreads, Part II. They will help you to steer away from simply buying puts and calls outright -- a losing approach that destroys the majority of options traders.

Now, Tony Saliba will take you another step forward in his new lesson: "Introduction to Volatility."

If you're new to the concept of volatility trading or if you've been turned off by the math involved, please do not miss this lesson. I believe your lightbulb will click on this time because Tony has a great way of helping you to grasp important concepts, such as mean reversion and serial correlation. You'll understand how it is that some traders base their entire livelihood on these and other volatility-related concepts.

I have more good news. Tony will also explain how you, as a private trader, actually have an edge over professional traders. I won't give you any hints about this. I want you to get the edge by reading this lesson.

You're probably already aware of Tony's philosophy. It's simple: Go for the consistent, high-probability gains -- not the risky home runs. If you want to learn to trade Tony's way, understanding volatility is one of the keys.

Note: If you want to spend two full days with Tony Saliba and his top two traders, provide us with contact information at Tony's page in TradingEvents.com and information will be sent to you.

Turning The Market's Weakness To Gold

The bull market of recent years conditioned many new traders into believing that the market only goes up. Over the past year, they learned the truth the hard way. But it is never too late to learn how to turn the market's weakness into gold by learning how to short stocks. You'll learn all the basics in a newly revised edition of Dave Landry's "Shorting Stocks: The Art Of Playing Both Sides Of The Market." Showing you the abundant opportunities in current market action, Dave provides you with charts of recent examples and a section of questions and answers based on the many e-mails that Dave has received over the past two years about short-selling. One of the surest signs that you're at the tail end of a bear market occurs when Dave feels the need to write a shorting lesson. But should this reliable timing signal be wrong, you'll be well-equipped to benefit from the next leg down.

Back to Basics With Brice: Relative Strength Boot Camp

Traders use various tools to identify the best buying and selling candidates, but probably none has proven its value more than Relative Strength. Brice Wightman in his new lesson, "Relative Strength Boot Camp," will explain why traders of all time frames, ranging from Jeff Cooper (daytrader) to Kevin Marder (intermediate-term trader), see Relative Strength as one of the few valid ways to gain a reliable and consistent edge. There are many good strategies for identifying trading setups in an individual stock. But Relative Strength will help you to look for that setup in the right stock.
