Turtle Options Information<br />
(Go Through Qual and get them in front of a computer)<br />
We are going to be covering a trader by the name of Russell Sands, I’m<br />
sure you have heard of him right? I’m sure you have heard of the Turtle<br />
Traders right?<br />
No? Ok well I will give you the cliff note version… (Even if they say they have heard of the<br />
Turtles, tell the story)<br />
The story of the “Turtles” goes back to the late 80’s. Richard Dennis was a famous Chicago<br />
trader and money manager, Richard was famous because he turned a $400 family loan into<br />
well over $200 million in just 5 years. Richard firmly believed that successful trading<br />
methods could be taught to anyone no matter what their background was. His partner<br />
disagreed, and they were having this argument in front of a turtle pond in Singapore So<br />
Richard turned to his partner and they made a million dollar bet that they could farm<br />
traders like they farm turtles in Singapore. So they put out an ad in the wall street journal<br />
and recruited 14 people who had absolutely no experience trading and taught them his<br />
trading methods. He called them his "Turtles" and, after a brief training period of 2 weeks<br />
and then handed them a million dollars to trade with! Guess how many of them made<br />
money?<br />
All of them, they all made money, some more than others and where the real success<br />
came from is with the discipline and who ever followed the strategies and methods to a<br />
“T” actually made the most money.<br />
Russell Sands is the only “Original Turtle” teaching these methods and has been taking<br />
small groups under his wing for the past 20-years, teaching them the Turtles methodology.<br />
He has taken the Turtles method, which was structured for the futures commodities<br />
market, and created a Hybrid to work in the Options Market as well. Russell, being the<br />
professional and<br />
forward thinker that he is, knew that the Options market is one he needed to diversify to<br />
and that there was a lot of money to be made! Pretty impressive right?<br />
Basically, what Russell is looking at is about 35 different ETF’s at any given time, anything<br />
from Energies, Real Estate, Retail, Interest Rates, Banking, Metals, Currencies, Global<br />
Funds and Utilities.
