“Becoming Warren Buffett,” the Man, Not the Investor

I've figured out how to produce returns using cash secured or naked option strategies utilizing informational asymmetry gained from rigorous analysis of corporate Q's and K's that will actually generate wealth not slowly build it like value investing does.

This critical edge that has been hiding in plain sight but validated by actual large funds using the same methods.

Someday, newyorker.com and HN will be reading how a "Korean Canadian stock whiz turns his $50,000 CAD tax free savings account into $50,000,000 CAD"

edit: due to downvotes I will not be revealing this prized strategy.

The downvotes say it all, but don't ever write naked options. The strategy has positive expectancy, except every few years you lose >100% of capital, since the risk is almost unbounded.

I write naked puts almost every week. It's about the only way I buy highly liquid tech stocks nowadays. The risk is absolutely bounded, of course (and similar to buying a stock outright).

Naked options are not the problem; naked calls are, of course, far more risky and most investors are barred from writing naked calls on individual issues.

I never write options. cash secured put/call options are buying not selling options.
