I'll teach you how to leverage a modest amount of money into millions!

Dear Investor,

Let's not kid ourselves. The rules on Wall Street have never favored small investors. In fact, the "cards" have been purposely stacked against us.

A friend of mine who owns a seat on the New York Stock Exchange has bragged to me for years that he "has a license to steal."

Just look at the buy/sell spreads that Wall Street's specialists charge. They're ridiculous. How are you supposed to make money when buy/sell spreads are as much as 5%, 7% even 10%?

Well I've got great news. The playing field has been leveled on Wall Street. My friend's license to steal has been pulled forever.


The Single-Stock Futures Revolution: Winning Strategies That Leverage Modest Dollars to Millions Using Wall Street's Newest Weapon

Wall Street has gone through a dramatic change. A powerful new financial tool is now available to you that has leveled the playing field forever.

  • Kiss those fat buy/sell spreads goodbye! Futures are much more liquid and have narrower bid-ask spreads than stocks and options. For example, the Nasdaq 100 Trust (QQQ) typically carries a 7-to-18 basis point spread, while the e-mini Nasdaq 100 futures contracts trade on a 3-to-9 basis point spread. Also, with futures you only pay commission. With the QQQs, you pay a commission plus 18 basis points per year for the management of the fund.

  • Get 5-to-1 leverage without the time decay that plagues options: Single-stock futures only require an initial margin deposit of 20%, or one-fifth the total purchase price. Because of this, for any gain in the stock, the percentage return on the futures position is five times greater than that of the stock. Futures are contracts to buy and sell in the future, so there is no time premium for buying the asset today like there is with options.

  • No margin interest charge: In order to get leverage with stocks, you must go "on margin," which means you borrow money from your brokerage firm. You are charged substantial interest to borrow the money, and these charges are often the culprit behind losing trades.

  • Instantly change from long to short: One trade, one commission, no delay.

  • Virtual 24-hour trading: Many futures contracts on major indices can be traded 'round-the-clock. The S&P 500, for example, can be traded from 5:30 p.m. Sunday to 3:15 p.m. on Friday. Now you can profit when world events unfold!

The single-stock revolution has dramatically impacted the way stocks are traded!

Single-stock futures started trading on Wall Street on November 8, 2002. If you haven't heard about them, don't be surprised. Most of the Wall Street's money players did not welcome the launch of these new financial instruments. That's because a lot of the trading edges that professionals once had are now disappearing as investors like you figure out how single-stock futures work.

For those of you who don't know, I was the guy at Charles Schwab who actually trained the professional traders who manned Schwab's trading desk. I'm considered by many professional traders around the world as the leading authority on options and futures trading. In fact, I may be one of the most qualified experts in the world on the subject of single-stock futures.

I've just written a new book, The Single-Stock Futures Revolution.. This book is unlike any book that is or will be offered on the market for four reasons:

#1: It's written in plain, easy-to-understand language. It doesn't matter whether you're an experienced investor or a novice. You'll understand every word and every concept.

#2: This is the only 100% independent book on the subject of single-stock futures on the market -- a $198 value. Brokerage firms who will offer trading in these new financial instruments have written the only other sources of information on the subject. With all due respect, these are hopelessly vague and nothing more than sales vehicles. My book is a solid tutorial that will teach you how to make money using this powerful investing tool.

#3: The Single-Stock Futures Revolution comes with an amazing workbook that should guarantee your success - worth $49. This workbook will ensure that you nail down every single aspect of how to use single-stock futures to make money; it's packed with questions, drills, and real scenarios so you'll make money hand over fist!

#4: An amazing 8-week online training course is included -- worth $448! This amazing interactive online course will take you by the hand and walk you through the concepts step-by-step, providing you with the knowledge you need to become a single-stock futures expert.

My book, The Single-Stock Futures Revolution, the companion workbook and the 8-week online trading course are about to be advertised via television in a national campaign on the major financial news networks for $695.

For a VERY limited time the book, workbook and the online course are just $99. You save $596!

The Single Stock Futures Revolution
By: Bill Johnson
Publisher: 21st Century Publishing, Inc. (2002)

Book review by: Elizabeth Thompson

[SFO]If you have ever read - or attempted to read - books on the markets without a financial background, they can often leave you in the dark, buried under words and concepts you don't understand. If you're new to derivatives trading, The Single Stock Futures Revolution, however, will shed light on the concepts common to the derivatives business

Throughout his book, Johnson communicates in a colloquial manner. He devotes the first two chapters to a general description of futures: what they are, their function in the market and the leverage their users can command. Paralleling the similarities between futures and other types of transactions, such as CODs and layaways, Johnson successfully relates the concept of futures to the average reader. In doing so, he also mutes the negative connotation associated with these markets.

Johnson then focuses on the creation of single stock futures, how they are traded, their contract specifications and the like. He has loaded the chapters with numerous examples, both of single stock futures trades and other types of futures trades, giving readers a range of trading scenarios over which to pore. Following the more general examples, he then explains single stock futures pricing - how to calculate it and how to understand the calculations - and reading quotes correctly, so that the new investors can be sure to get the right price for their trade.

The next couple of chapters are probably the most useful because they explain the actions investors will have to take once they have opened a futures account. First, in the same everyday language as previous chapters, Johnson reviews how to place multiple types of orders, such as market, stop and stop limit orders, as well as when to use each type of order. He then explains trading strategies, including everything from basic long and short positions to relative strength investing. Finally, he describes options and how one can use the options market to exit a futures position.

Although other books on single stock futures have covered similar material, Johnson sets his book apart with quizzes after each chapter and a supplemental workbook. The quizzes reinforce concepts and strategies in his book, making it all the more useful to potential traders, giving them an opportunity to truly absorb what's been written.

However, if you are a seasoned derivatives investor, this book probably will not teach you anything new. While the book is easy to understand, the downside is that it's pretty elementary for someone already familiar with the industry. And, unfortunately, Johnson has omitted technical and fundamental analysis, which often are paramount to any trading plan. Instead, this book acts as a springboard for beginners to learn more. Additionally, traders who are used to books being more moderately priced might flinch a bit as they see the price tag for this two-book set ($198.00). Our suggestion is to visit their website - www.21stcenturyoptions.com - to cut the price in half (at least, for a limited time).
