Part 8 below examines the Fokas Stock Investment Strategy more closely. Let’s jump in.
Remember Results
We invest only in BLUE CHIP stocks on the US market. Remember there are ober 3000 Blue Chip stocks to choose from, so this allows us to be conservative and ensure that the companies we invest in are big companies even when we know that the stock will fluctuate up and down, while it is doing this, we can still earn an income.
You can’t go broke making a PROFIT!
Just imagine what Possibilities and Opportunities this can bring YOU! There is no reason whatsoever why you can’t do this just the same as I do. I get up at around 10:00am in the morning. I turn my computer on, and I go, “Right, I have ABC stock, I have a break-even of (for example) $23.” I check the price of the stock against my break-even and then most times, I’m done for the day, thats it.
How long do you think it takes you to turn your computer on and log onto the internet? Two, three minutes? You log into your account that’s online to check the figures out. If you have a smartphone you can do it straight from your phone anywhere around the world. You are a Global Investor. However, I do prefer to have it on my laptop because I can see it all on the big screen.
So, you log into the brokers platform and you go, ABC stock, I have a break-even of $23. Where is the stock right now, where is it? What is the current stock price today? Is it above or below your breakeven?
Above? Great, close your computer and check it tomorrow.
Below? Great, close your computer and check it tomorrow.
Why do I do this? Because most times, during the month, I don’t do anything. I have to WAIT till the end of the month.
Would you like to get paid to WAIT?
If you spend more time watching the markets, you truly are wasting that time because your result won’t change for the month.
I can be anywhere in the world, anywhere. As long as I can log onto the internet I can do this. Isn’t that brilliant?
The best part about this strategy is, whether the contract period is for four weeks till expiry, three weeks till expiry, two weeks till expiry or even one week, we can enter at any point without having to watch or monitor the markets. If I wanted to go on holiday this week, do I care if I don’t have money in the market? NO. With as few as just two days to go until the contract expiry date, we can enter the market and earn a return on investment for that short period. Even for just two days! There are speculators in the market who will happily purchase a contract for two days.
This means we are never in a rush to get into the market. We can park our money on the sidelines if needed.
That’s the choice we have, and choice is what this is all about. We are in no rush to jump into the market. The speculators have to time their entry, we do not!

Time Is Not A Major Requirement
We don’t need to allocate much time to this once you have learnt it, so therefore, your time can be allocated to building other pillars of income or spending time with your loved ones. That’s what we call lifestyle. Remember the ‘second job’ I was advised would be the solution to my income issues? Remember how much of my time would be stolen by a second job and how little, effectively, it would have earned me? Imagine my hourly rate of earnings if I invest approximately one hour a month going online, writing the Option contract, having my broker sell it for me and then checking in at the expiry to see whether it was exercised or I have to write a new contract again for another month. If I make $100, then my hourly rate of pay is $100. Investing more and making, say $1,500 for the month puts me into the fee range of high flying CEO’s!
I’m not here to tell you to retire tomorrow. I’m not here to tell you I’m going to make you a million dollars overnight. It doesn’t happen. No matter what those ‘Social Media Guru’s’ might try to have you believe, nobody is going to make a fortune sitting beside the pool with their laptop for an hour a day, working the angles with some internet-based enterprise. Those guys do make serious amounts of money but believe me, they also invest considerable chunks of their time to keep the money rolling in, no matter what the hype on their website suggests.
For the vast majority of us, everyday people with a few thousand dollars to start with, if we can start small in getting into the market, at least start learning the strategies and building a very solid foundation, we can begin to build our skyscraper. One floor at a time. How high do you think we can build it? As high as we want to. So it’s a matter of taking small steps. In my case, it took me three years. I didn’t want to retire, I wanted to be financially secure enough to pursue my passion, my dream. I have a dream, a mission in life and that is to educate others. That is what I’m passionate about.
I invest my time more in educating others than I need to in managing my own income pillars and investments; because I can.
Above is a position my son instructed me to enter and do as he was following my system and education, and where it closed on expiry. Let me explain to you what you see in the picture.
At 1.30am Sydney time, that is 9.30am NY time when the stock market opens. This order went in at 1.30am and 48 seconds as seen from this live trading account. Within 48 seconds of the market opening, we are in the market making money. That was on the 13th March for a contract period till 19th March…. 6 DAYS!
Second line starting from the left. Bought the stock, I have covered the code, BOT (bought) at $57.97 and he bought 300.
First line, we did a contract expiring 19th March at a Strike of $58. We SLD (sold) the contract at a price of $2.00 and created 3 contracts.
Work it out…
Income – $2.00 x 300 stock = $600.
Investment – $57.97 x 300 stock = $17,391.00
Brokerage of $25 leaves net income of $575.
$575 / $17,391 x 100 = 3.3% RETURN ON INVESTMENT for 6 Days.
How hard do you work for $575 a week? My son and I did it in 10 minutes clicking 10 buttons on a computer.
Stock on the 19th March closed at $58.16, above the Strike price of $58. Stock was exercised, sold.
CASH IS KING!
Learn From The Trials And Errors Of Others
When I started learning how to speculate, I lost over $70,000. Seventy grand in a year, if you recall. I went from one extreme to another, from speculating on the big gamble, high-risk offerings to becoming very conservative. I wanted to preserve my capital. So I started small, making more small returns and then compounding it. I can say with confidence that usually I can compete against a speculator, say over a 12-month period, earning what they do by compounding the 2%, 3% and 4% a month returns. Most times, my members and I actually come out ahead. I don’t make as much in one hit like they potentially can, but then I don’t lose as much as they do when it goes against them. As I say, a Profit is a Profit and you cant lose making a profit; even if that profit is only a few percentage points. I’d rather receive small returns a month than try to make 50% today, lose 60% tomorrow and spend hours of my time chasing my tail. Making 30%, losing 40%. Making 55%, losing 42% and so on. I don’t want to go through that ever again because it is an emotional roller coaster. It’s all about living your dream and enjoying life and you can’t be having any fun if you are forever watching the markets trading it. You have absolutely no control over where the price goes, up, down or remaining the same; yet 95% of investors gamble and speculate. That is not the lifestyle I want, nor should you.
