  • QUESTION FROM Robert Stoute: Mark, Just a little about the option trades/strategy that I use. I trade the Short Put Verticals and have been doing well but am getting hammered on the max losses. I am looking to get into other strategies that has a better win/loss ratio. A friend mentioned that your show and contacts would be helpful to me.
