"STOCK OPTION PRINCIPAL PUBLISHING MISSION STATEMENT"/RISKS

Member's objectives may vary depending on age, experience, work schedules, risk tolerance and investment capital. With that in mind, "the principal" Joe Lesko, endeavors to present a balanced approach to satisfy the members investment and/or speculative requirements. Each member is free to select the recommendations that satisfy his or her investment goals.

1.LONG TERM: Long term options (LEAPS) with one to three years expirations are offered for profit and building investment portfolios. These options may be sold at anytime during the life of the contract, or exercised if the underlying stock goes "deep in the money". In most cases, exercising is not a taxable event, and is an extremely valuable vehicle for building long-term positions.

2.INTERMEDATE TERM: Moderate risk three to six-month options, or position plays are offered to take advantage of future events (earnings reports, new products, sector dominance, splits etc.).

3.SHORT TERM: Moderate risk plays, usually one to three month options with short term gains of 100 to 200% as the objective. Index spreads also fall into this category.

*** NOTE 1,2 & 3 are ideal for working members who are not able to receive or act on recommendations issued during the trading day. It allows them to stay informed and position their investments by following the nightly or weekend reports, while maintaining stops to protect profits and minimize loses.

4.GUNSLINGER TRADES: high risk/reward plays are presented for speculative funds ONLY. These trades are usually offered near options expirations (third Friday of each month) when premiums have dissipated resulting in greater leverage. And they may last from one to seven days depending on circumstances. Profit targets range from 2 to 500% with the understanding that the entire premium paid is at risk.

** To assist new traders all recommendations are presented in a "read it to your broker format" Also, various other strategies are utilized (legging into spreads, covered calls/puts, calendar spreads, convertible securities, etc.) to protect gains or maximize profits as the need arises.
