Performance is the sole factor on which all investment strategies should be judged. Furthermore, an investment strategy is successful only if it has the ability to consistently outperform the market over the long-term. Unfortunately, those particular types of strategies are few and far between. Our approach is to present our subscribers with several simple and disciplined approaches to investing which have resulted in consistent success over the long-term.

Individuals that look for frequency of trading within a given strategy are often disappointed with the end results. In most cases, the less you trade, the better you will do in the long run. And the long run is what matters. This is what makes our ETF Extremes strategy unique and successful.

In most cases, SPY will be the underlying of choice. However, there will be the occasion when options on other ETF's (DIA, IWM, QQQQ) will be utilized for this strategy.

This strategy acts as a wonderful complement to the SPX Short Iron Condor.
