With regard to the stocks I trade in Fission… I normally try to get stocks that represent more than one industry… though lately many of the stocks have been pretty tech-heavy. Very soon we’ll be announcing a new LIVE Web Seminar on how to trade RadioActively that will explore diversification in greater detail, but let me go over a few of my diversification rules: (more…)
These guys (Fission’ Subscribers) get to look over Kurt Frankenberg’s and Ernie Zerenner’s shoulder as they make live trades in actual six-figure accounts. The trades we make AREN’T recommendations, mind you… they ARE an ongoing demonstration of the RadioActive Trading style of risk management along with ten techniques for adjusting risk while taking out money… that we call “Income Methods”.

Subscriber Question: New subscriber here. I’ve watched a lot of your videos…thanks for them all…good stuff. My question is about this long-term performance. In those videos I saw this account get up to at least $114,000 on 12/10/2007 to be exact. And as of 9/28/2009 it’s at $103,000? Am I understanding that correctly?
Kurt’s Answer: Yes, that’s right on. R3 is UP a tiny amount since the fund began. As to whether you are understanding the significance of that performance correctly, read on…
I’d like to call attention to the fact that I’ve traded the RadioActive Trading method since 2002. In that time, I HAVE taken money out to live on. Over the last seven years, some returns have been better than others. R3 is only one example of what’s possible… but it’s actually a very good example because it happened to be traded during the worst bear market we’ve seen in decades. (more…)
NFLX at $41.92
HERE we go… NFLX is down a bit, providing a buyback opportunity for these short calls.
Depending on market conditions, we may be able to apply more Income Methods and enter more trades. For example, in the middle of June, there were two trades made; one Income Method applied to a previous position and one new RPM was opened. The week before that there were about 5 trades made, some that were Income Methods on existing positions and two new RPM’s were opened. (more…)
There is no guarantee for a number of FISSION trades per month…just like you wouldn’t put on new trades every month in your own account if you don’t feel the market conditions apply, or if you can’t find any trades that meet your risk/reward/projection criteria…so we don’t either.
However, there are always some RPMs open, so we are always watching to see if we can apply some income method trades to existing RPMs we have open.
