From Mark Ford, founder, Palm Beach Research Group: I want to tell you my experience with Palm Beach Income.

My initial reaction to the idea was negative.

“Options are risky,” I told Tom Dyson, who had suggested that we provide an options service to Palm Beach Research Group readers. “I don’t want to expose our readers to unnecessary risk.”

But Tom was insistent.

“There are seven ways to trade options,” he told me. “Five of them are indeed risky, but two of them are actually safe.”

He showed me data to support that statement. More persuasively, he showed me the results he’d been getting in his own account.

The numbers were enticing, but I’ve been fooled by “past performance” before.

The $50 Marijuana Investment Jackpot
Marijuana legalization is sweeping the country… A record-breaking 8 states just passed new laws for recreational and medical use. Already dozens of tiny marijuana firms have begun skyrocketing by 100%, 300%, 500% and higher. This is your chance to turn a single $50 bill… into an absolute fortune. But you need to take action BEFORE January 1st… Click here to find out how.

I told Tom that before I endorsed the service, I’d have to try it myself. I sent my broker $200,000.

The initial results were impressive.

On my first trade, I earned $1,149. On my second trade, I made $454.99. Then there were two more transactions that led to income payouts of $1,689.97 and $909.98.

In a single day, I earned $499.99, $499.99, $549.98, and $674.98.

Not bad for a day’s work.

The results were so good, I felt comfortable telling my youngest son to invest the $25,000 he got as a college graduation present into one of these options accounts. He also had good results.

I was almost ready to endorse the program, but I had one concern.

Options are a little bit complicated.

The success my son and I had enjoyed was easy because my broker was executing all of Tom’s recommendations. I wondered whether our readers would be able to make those trades themselves.

The system was good. But was it too complicated?

I asked Tom to create a teaching program and then “beta test” the program on 100 volunteers.

What I wanted from the beta test wasn’t a good return on investment—I had already seen that. I wanted to find out whether our teaching program would work, whether the participants would find the teaching part of the program effective and enjoyable.

Tom designed the teaching program himself. He worked very hard for three months putting together a series of videos that explained the theory and taught the practice.

Then he asked for feedback and made changes and adjustments to make the program crystal clear.

The overall response we received was very good. Here are a few examples:

I have found this to be the safest and most profitable investment idea I have come across in my 37 years of investing in the stock market.

Palm Beach Income was a great course. It started at the very beginning and took me through to the end, where I was comfortable making the trade. The potential extra income is awesome. Tom did an excellent job teaching.

June R., Midtown, Pennsylvania

In my 12 years of investing, I haven’t known a trading strategy such as this one that’s both safe and simple to understand… while also generating income. I appreciate you sharing it.

Ronald B., New York

I am confident it will add some sizable extra income to my portfolio over the coming year as we move forward into the next phase of the Palm Beach Income program.

  A special invitation from Mark

In October’s Palm Beach Letter, I wrote about charitable giving and mentioned my FunLimón project next to the Rancho Santana resort and development.

This month, I’m suggesting you go there in January. Not to be charitable, but for their first combined culinary and tangible-asset investing conference.

I hope you and a guest will join me for four days of food and learning about collectibles—such as art and land.

There will be some resale listings at the ranch, which are excellent value buys. I get nothing from those sales. I do own the art gallery, however, and I’ll personally be there to explain why art is an investor’s best friend.

My friend Julia Guth of The Oxford Club is hosting the event and there’s still some room. Click here to learn more about it.

With a great track record and so many positive reviews of the teaching component, I endorsed the program.

We released it to subscribers in 2012. Since then, everything seems to be going smoothly.

But I must confess: I never noticed these changes because I was still having my broker execute the trades.

If you know me, you know that makes me a hypocrite. I was breaking one of my cardinal wealth-building rules: Never invest in something you don’t understand.

I do understand the basic theory of options, and I understand why our strategy is safer than most because that is how I wanted Tom to design it.

But I can’t say I’m paying much attention to the individual trades. I’m still using Palm Beach Income because it continues to work for me. I’m not making a fortune from it. (It’s not designed for huge gains.) But I am making a steady flow of income.

Palm Beach Income’s “track record” is quite good. Since 2012, it has recommended 220 full-cycle trades, I’m told, of which 212 closed at a profit.

That’s a win rate of 96.4%.

The marketing department tells me this equates to an annualized return of 14.7%. That may be for those who use it aggressively. I’ve made over 5% on my account and done that safely. I’m happy with that.

If you want to make good and steady income without working hard, then trading options the way we do is something you should consider.

You should get the program, take the course, and then decide for yourself whether you want to do the trading.

You may find that the knowledge you’ll gain will be worth the price you pay—even if you don’t follow the recommendations.

My broker and I have developed our own version of it that I use on my Legacy Portfolio stocks that has performed very well. So, for me, just the experience of reading the course and understanding the basic idea was well worth my investment.

You can take a look at it—even try it—risk-free if you want. If what I’ve said sounds good to you, I recommend you do.

Reeves’ Note: The Palm Beach Income method is the safest—and fastest—way we know of to trade options. In fact, you can make your first trade… and pocket the income… in just seven minutes. Learn how you can get started today right here
