The Two Critical Mistakes That Destroy Options Traders
Most options traders fail because they fall into predictable traps.
The Trading Club is designed from the ground up to prevent the two mistakes that destroy 90% of options traders.
Mistake #1: The Overwhelm Problem
Most trading services bombard you with trades - weekly, daily, sometimes multiple per day. They think more trades = more value. But here's what actually happens:
You run out of capital trying to follow every trade. You start cherry-picking, inevitably choosing the wrong ones. You pick the trades with the biggest premiums - the ones most likely to blow up. It's like Porter says: "They're moths to the flame - drawn to risk without understanding what they're doing."
The Trading Club Solution
We release new trades quarterly in a cohesive batch - typically 8-10 carefully selected positions. Then we might add a few opportunistic trades throughout the quarter as exceptional setups emerge. But here's the key: it's always a manageable number that every member can follow. No cherry-picking. No confusion. No FOMO.
Mistake #2: Premium Shopping (The Dynamite Problem)
This is what Porter calls "holding dynamite while playing with a blowtorch." Traders see they can collect 50 cents selling a put on Coca-Cola or $5 selling a put on Tesla. They chase the $5. They don't realize that higher premium = higher risk of explosion.
It's the difference between selling hurricane insurance in Vermont versus selling it in Biloxi, Mississippi with a Category 5 bearing down. Most services encourage this behavior - they highlight the trades with the biggest payouts.
The Trading Club Solution
We only sell puts on companies we'd be thrilled to own at the strike price. World-class businesses with proven track records. Our worst-case scenario is still a win - owning Hershey or Philip Morris at a discount. We're not chasing premiums; we're building wealth systematically.

The goal of The Trading Club isn't to "shoot for the moon" - that's a loser's game. Instead, we aim for small, consistent returns that compound into life-changing wealth. Our target is 20-30% annually, and we're currently crushing that goal.
The Targeted 20% Annual Returns DifferenceMost investors are thrilled with 10% annual returns - the market average. But here's what they don't realize: The difference between 10% and 20% isn't just double the money. It could be difference between retiring comfortable and retiring wealthy.
