Hi -

My name is Brad Castro.

I'm not bragging, but I sleep well at night. Confidence in the future and in your own investments will do that.

You see, my standard of living IMPROVES each year.

I have a realistic plan to build REAL wealth and to provide for my family's future.

And I'm NOT worried about retirement. I don't wonder whether I'll be able to save enough for it, and I certainly don't worry about running out of money in my golden years. In fact, I know that the older I get, the more my income will increase . . . and not meager standard of living increases either.

And I'll definitely NEVER need a job just to survive.

If you'll indulge me for a few minutes, I'd like to share some of what I've learned over the last dozen or so years. Information that you might find useful and profitable, to say the least.

Don't you wish you knew then what you know now?

No matter who you are, no matter how young or old you are, in some area of your life, you've learned valuable lessons. Lessons that you would give anything to send back in a time machine to a younger you.

Well, it's the same with me. It took me nearly a decade to really grasp what long term investing success was comprised of - and even more importantly, how to dramatically speed up that process.

But it wasn't an easy journey.

I spent a good chunk of that decade learning everything I could about the stock market and making just about every mistake in the process.

• I chased hot stocks and hot sectors . . . just before they cooled down.
• I tried my hand at deep value investing . . . in broken companies that really had no value.
• I subscribed to popular newsletters that recommended a set number of stocks each month regardless of market conditions . . . while I began to suspect that more effort went into marketing the service than actual stock research.
• I fancied myself a contrarian investor for a while . . . until Mr. Market demonstrated that he was right more often than I was.
• I subscribed to aggressive option trading advisory services . . . and learned not only what a dumb way that is to try to make money, but also that fraud is alive and well.
• Amateur day trading? Tried it . . . even at work, and was lucky to have any money left (or a job) when I finally threw in the towel.

In short, I caught falling knives, paid top dollar for overpriced and overhyped stocks, and looked everywhere I could for some ideal shortcut that I could harness in order to gain long term wealth. All to no avail.

But then I made a startling discovery - true investing works.

Now that probably sounds either really obvious or really naive. But I'm not talking about "investing" in the generic sense. The way 98% of people use the word.

I'm talking about REAL, TRUE, LONG TERM INVESTING. The way Warren Buffett invests. The way smart investors who got in on the ground floor of great companies like Walmart, Microsoft, or McDonald's invested. The type of investing that profoundly changes your life.

But isn't that too hard? Doesn't it take too long? Wouldn't you be better off looking around for quick fix alternatives?

Perhaps. But there's just one problem - There aren't any that actually work over the long term.

The internet is crowded with hucksters promising you instant stock market riches. And their Get Rich Quick Myth come-on usually goes something like this. They will supposedly:

• Show you how to consistently make a ton of money with virtually no effort on your part or
• Give you regular trade recommendations that will turn you into a gazillionaire in no time at all or
• Let you in on some little known "secret" that the "big boys" on Wall Street "don't want you to know about"

Now, I like reading fiction as much as the next person. But not when it comes to my money.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but the sad truth is this: no subscription service, system, or seminar is going to make you rich overnight, no matter how many thousands of dollars you throw at it.

Sorry - the Get Rich Quick Myth just doesn't happen.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you're looking for a magic bullet, you should stop reading right now, because you're not going to find one here.

Can you potentially make a living as a professional stock and options trader? Sure you can. But don't let the hucksters fool you - it's hard work. It's a full time job, not a part time hobby. And plan on spending several years before you master it.

That's the bad news.

And the good news? Remember my epiphany? Investing Works.

In fact, let me be even bolder:

There are NO substitutes for true, long term investing.

But that's OK because . . .

The great irony is that once you really understand the power of true, long term investing, and once you start applying that power to superior businesses, and once you learn a half dozen or so conservative, customized option strategies designed to perpetually enhance your long term returns, you won't need or even WANT a substitute.

If you're a gambler at heart and love the tactical cat and mouse game of stock or option trading, then I'll be the first to admit that Leveraged Investing is probably not for you.

But if you have a more strategic perspective, just consider the ultimate goals of Leveraged Investing for a moment. Do any of the following prospects excite you? Imagine what it would feel like to:

• Own large stock positions in 20-30 of the best, most durable, reliably profitable businesses you can identify
• Generate a ton of income just from regular dividend payments
• Consistently grow your net worth
• Regularly increase your cash flow
• Routinely outperform the stock market

Wait a minute . . . that sounds like I'm describing Warren Buffett.

Well, why not?

After all, Warren Buffett is the most successful and influential investor of our lifetime. He essentially transformed Berkshire Hathaway, a struggling New England textile operation, into one of the largest, most profitable, and most respected companies in the world.

And in the process he became one of the richest people on the planet.

So how exactly did Warren Buffett achieve this kind of business and personal success? How did he accumulate such staggering amounts of wealth in the stock market?

Did he:

• Chase the hottest stocks?
• Get Lightning Round tips from Jim Cramer?
• Max out his 401K and IRA and invest in actively managed mutual funds or passively diversified index funds?
• Perfect his technical analysis skills and brilliantly time the market?
• Make a big, short term gamble that really paid off?

The correct answer is . . . NONE OF THE ABOVE

Warren Buffett's secret? Well, it's not actually a secret. He's spelled it out in public many, many times. In fact, it's a quote you may already be familiar with:

"It's far better to buy a wonderful business at a fair price than it is to buy a fair business at a wonderful price."

Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? Almost easy. Like anyone could do it. Well, it IS simple - deceptively simple.

But look a little closer. Even as Warren Buffett tells you exactly how to invest like him, his quote also reveals why doing that is so hard.

In order to duplicate Warren Buffett's success, not only do you need to be able to identify those wonderful businesses, you also need to be able to determine a fair price for those wonderful businesses.

Oh - and you also need a ton of discipline and patience.

And how easy is all that in the real world? Ever paid too much for a stock? Or bought something you later regretted? A lot? Ever ask yourself what you were thinking when you made one of those incredibly poor investments?

Of course you have. And so have I.

My theory is that Warren Buffett makes his superior style of investing look so easy because . . . well, because he's so good at it.

He's one of the best in the world at sizing up a business and knowing what it's really worth. And he's extraordinarily patient and disciplined, willing to sit on stockpiles of cash for years at a time waiting for an investment to come along that he really, really likes.

Can you beat Warren Buffett? Maybe not. But it seems to me that it might be worth our time to at least emulate him. But if you are going to aspire to invest like Warren Buffett, you better have Warren Buffett's skills and insights.

Or a good back up plan.

If you want results like Buffett, you either have to be able to replicate his process . . . or come up with something comparable to achieve similar results.

And since I already learned first hand that doing exactly what Buffett does is a lot harder than it looks, I knew I'd need a very good back up plan indeed.

Of course, there are a lot of bad back up plans out there, too. Plans that may target Buffett-like returns but that have virtually no chance of ever delivering on their promises.

Why?

It's simple - they have NOTHING in common with Buffett's style of true, long term investments in well-run, dominant companies.

It's almost as if we feel that true investing is so difficult and takes so long that we get discouraged. And then we get desperate.

Ever been desperate? It's not fun.

You start looking around for shortcuts. You start taking bigger risks. You may even spend thousands of dollars on weekend seminars or some professionally marketed "system" or software where, strangely, there's a whole lot of talk upfront about yachts and expensive red sports cars.

My guess is there are quite a few people out there still waiting for their yacht and expensive red sports car.

Think this is the yacht they're talking about?

And in the meantime . . . more time passes. You may not be growing any wealthier, but you are growing older. Now you really have to play catch up. Take more risks, go to more seminars, subscribe to more market-timing services.

And even though it's understandable - believe me, I've certainly wasted my fair share of time (and money) down dead-end streets - that doesn't change the sad reality.

It's a vicious circle that just keeps getting uglier and uglier over time.

And the worst is when you even begin to wonder if you would've been better off just keeping all your money in CDs?

Yikes - that's when you know you've REALLY hit bottom.

Remember - There are no shortcuts. At least not in the way we want there to be shortcuts when we're feeling desperate. You know - get rich quick, cheat the system, transcend reality and build an instant empire.

But just because there are no Get Rich Quick shortcuts, doesn't mean that successful investing is a lost cause. Not by a long shot.

It just means that if you're going to aspire to invest like Warren Buffett, you're going to need two things: an approach similar to his and some kind of personal investing advantage.

We already summarized Buffett's investing approach: buying wonderful businesses at fair prices. Ideally, his holding period is "forever."

Obviously, that type of investing has worked out extraordinarily well for Buffett. But have you ever wondered why?

When you purchase shares of a superior business at an attractive price (the cheaper the better), just look at everything you gain:

• Superior compounded returns - The lower your cost basis on an investment the higher ALL your future compounded returns will be.
• Increasing and compounding dividend streams - Superior and growing companies regularly increase their dividends, in effect giving your portfolio regular "raises" and automatically putting more money in your pocket.
• Stability in your portfolio - Superior and durable companies thrive in the good times and weather the bad times so you can sleep comfortably every night, regardless of market conditions.
• Peace of mind - The only thing that feels better than the confidence you get from choosing an investment model with a proven track record, is the feeling you get from experiencing those results first hand.
• Minimal maintenance required - Investing shouldn't feel like work. If it feels like a full time job, or even a part time job, that's probably not investing - that's probably trading.
• Freedom from nonsense . . . no more wasting all that time trying to "get rich quick" or trying to "beat the system" or lying awake at night worrying about long term failure from all your short term trading.

So now we come to the crux of the matter: What if you could use options to get your stocks for half price or less?

Skeptical?

After all, aren't options risky? And what can they possibly have to do with long term investing?

Sure, options can be risky. But they can also be conservative. And everything in between. In fact, that's the very function of options - to allow investors and traders the opportunity to manage and trade risk.

So if you're willing to be aggressive and assume a lot of risk, you can use options to, in effect, try to win the lottery. But good luck - you're going to need it.

I believe that aggressive option trading (and don't believe the hype - most of what's touted as conservative option trading isn't remotely low-risk) is just more of that desperation we mentioned earlier.

In fact, I think it's fair to say that the primary function of option trading today as most people practice it is to be a substitute for investing. After all, it's hard to imagine option trading having anything to do with true, long term investing.

But what if the two could be reconciled?

What if instead of using options as a substitute for investing, you could use options to enhance investing?

To compete with Warren Buffett, all you need is a low cost basis and a portfolio of great companies.

You've heard of Buy Low, Sell High? Well, Buffett is a billionaire many times over because he buys low, he buys quality, and he almost never sells.

What if there were customized option strategies you could use that would help you essentially do the same thing? And do it faster?

What if you could use options to reduce your cost basis when you first acquire shares of a high quality stock? Or even before you acquire those shares?

And what if you could use options to keep reducing your cost basis, after the fact, again and again and again, as long as you own those shares?

Do you think that might level the playing field a bit?

How would that be for a personal investing advantage?

"If you can, on balance, acquire high quality stocks for less than what others are paying for those stocks, and if you're able to generate additional returns above and beyond what everyone else is getting from those same stocks, you're going to do extremely well over the long term, and you're going to dramatically improve your life."

If you're already familiar with options, you might be wondering if all I'm doing here is hyping simple covered call and naked put writing strategies.

On the contrary, detailed descriptions of covered calls, naked puts, and 14 other specific option trading strategies are all available for free on the Great Option Trading Strategies main website.

Call writing and put writing are popular income strategies employed by certain option traders. They're popular because they're relatively simple strategies and, when successful, can produce some great cash flow returns.

But these are trading strategies, not investing strategies.

In contrast, the six specific strategies detailed in The Essential Leveraged Investing Guide are all customized strategies with the long term investor in mind:

• Writing Cash Secured Puts (ATM) to Acquire Stock
• Bull Put Spreads to Acquire Stock
• The 1/3 Covered Call Writing Strategy
• Covered Combos to Acquire Stock
• LEAP Covered Calls to Acquire Stock
• LEAP Covered Combos to Acquire Stock

Since many self-directed, long term investors keep the bulk of their investments in tax-advantaged retirement accounts, an important question arises: can you employ Leveraged Investing in your IRA?

The good news is that in the U.S., most online brokerages offer option-enabled IRA accounts upon application and approval. That doesn't mean that every Leveraged Investing strategy will be accessible within your account, of course, but using every single strategy detailed in The Essential Leveraged Investing Guide isn't required in order to be successful.

And some online brokers are more option-friendly than others, giving you even greater flexibility in choosing which Leveraged Investing strategies are right for you.

The important thing is that even in an IRA, you can still gain access to valuable tools designed to accelerate the returns on long term investments in high quality companies.

Is that a silly question? It's not supposed to be. In fact, I've discovered that there are a lot of people to whom building wealth really isn't all that important.

That's not a put down. Some people have other passions (and distractions) in their life. Some think money and success are somehow bad. Some simply believe they don't deserve wealth or that building it is just too hard or complicated.

All I can say is . . . Too bad for them.

Now I'm not so arrogant to suggest that Leveraged Investing is the only way anyone can build wealth in the stock market.

But here's what I will say with full conviction: If you're willing to take ownership over your own finances, and if you're willing to say good-bye to the Get Rich Quick Myth once and for all, I believe Leveraged Investing really can secure your future.

Leveraged Investing is the way I invest myself. Or as Paul Kangas, former anchor from Nightly Business Report, used to describe the guests who owned shares of the stocks they recommended, I eat my own cooking.

And one of the most liberating aspects of Leveraged Investing is that I no longer worry about my financial future. I'm confident that, short of an apocalypse, the older I get the wealthier I'm going to be and the more income my investments will produce.

Bottom line - My financial success doesn't depend on selling a single copy of the Guide.

What that means in practical terms is that I don't need to turn this into a full-fledged (and overpriced) weekend seminar.

Plus I look really bad in a suit.

At the same time, I'm also perfectly willing to share what I've learned - my experiences, my research, my strategies - and at a fraction of the price charged for most premium investing products or services.

Keep in mind - this is very valuable information, the most valuable information on investing and making money in the stock market that I know. If I could, I would happily go back in time 15 or 20 years ago and pay thousands of dollars to know then what I know now. I truly believe this information - and more importantly, what you can do with this information - is worth far more than that.

But I also don't want price to be an issue for anyone. That's why I'm offering The Essential Leveraged Investing Guide for just $97.

I remember what it was like to have limited investing funds. I want this information to be just as accessible to the young or just getting started investor as it is to the investor who already has significant funds to invest.

How much does the average person spend each month just on entertainment? Eating out? Heck, you can't even buy a pair of decent tires for $97 anymore. And you should always remember to invest in yourself, too - to invest in learning better ways to invest.

So there you go - for just $97, affordable on any investing budget, I'll share with you all the details of how I've learned to combine options with long term, Warren Buffett style value investing to create the absolute, best, smartest, and most profitable long term way to invest that I know of.
