Planning My Next Meetup [hopefully not MIS] Adventure (Part 8)

Further deliberation over the promotion for this Meetup still leaves me skeptical.

I could therefore try for something more to the point:

     In 2002, I got my Doctor of Pharmacy degree and began work as a retail pharmacist.
     
     For the last 11 years, though, I have been trading options full-time out of a home office. One
     thing I miss is my patients and co-workers, and I have had little success finding other
     advanced traders with whom to collaborate.

     Since I can’t find such traders on my own, perhaps I can help to create some. For those who
     have been interested in learning to trade and invest for yourselves, my challenge is your gain.

     Welcome to the Michigan [Index?] Option Trading Workgroup.

     The goal of this group is to present some basic option income strategies and to practice them
     repeatedly until we feel comfortable employing them in personal accounts (if so desired).

     I am happy to teach what I know. Beyond that, there’s still plenty for all of us to learn.

     I strongly encourage data science practitioners along with programmers and statisticians to
     look into this group. Beyond practicing individual trades, I have more advanced research
     planned that can really help to develop existing strategies for live trading. In exchange
     for expertise, this group can teach you the ins and outs of option trading and
     self-directed investing.

     Cost for this group will be $12/month, which should cover group expenses. In addition,
     you may choose to buy or lease third-party analytics software to study/track simulated
     positions. We will talk about ways to do this without purchasing software, however.

     Spots will be limited. You should be highly motivated and able to commit regular time to
     this group. Those with the technical expertise described above will be given priority
     [free] admission. With regular participation and diligent effort, I expect those who
     participate can become capable option traders within a relatively short period of time.

     Please answer the profile questions and send contact (phone or Skype) information
     when you join. Before we begin, I want to make sure the group is as good a fit for you
     as you can be for the group.

     Thanks, and good trading!
