Group Call - Read
About this lesson
What is it. . ?
What is THE most frustrating, elusive, or hard-to-understand Options concept—
...for you?
If "it's all Greek to you" and you feel like it's all over your head- that's fine, too...
...but *try* to articulate- for me, and for you- THE most vexing thing about options theory or implementation. Don't overthink it... but please do try to do the exercise. It serves TWO purposes.
First
We're going to have a 1-hour group call tomorrow, September 14th at 1:00 PM ET.
(Instructions for attendance forthcoming)
I'll be going through all of your questions and comments before- and up until the start of the call. Any issues that appear frequently I'll tackle directly- no need to wait to get to it in the book. I won't get to all of them during the call- but I will continue to go through them and respond with my own thoughts and suggestions throughout this weekend.
Consider tomorrow's call a chance for some light coaching or Q&A- the only rule is to stay in-bounds with respect to options theory and practice.
Good?
Second
Equally- or, perhaps *more* importantly—
This book is long, and the material may be new or unfamiliar for many of you.
If you stay the course—
- Finishing the readings on schedule,
- Completing the exercises in the adjacent workbook,
- Watching the morning videos,
- Engaging in the group chat with the other VolStudents*
- (*I know... lame "dad joke"- but I couldn't help it)
...you won't even remember what it was like to "not understand options" by the end of it.
Doing this exercise gives you a chance to revisit your opening-week self, and see clearly just how much you were able to learn in such a short amount of time.
When we wrap up the text and return to our opening week comments- hopefully you'll walk away with confidence regarding your ability to learn tough material- and enthusiasm to continue learning and applying your acquired skills in the real world.
These comments will be visible to everyone- so take care to guard your identity as you see fit.
Instructions for changing your profile name (this changes how you appear to others, as well) are below.
Log into your Member Library / Hub via the homepage âś“
(make sure to use the same email address you used when purchasing & checking out)
Click your avatar in the top right corner, and click "Settings" in the dropdown menu âś“
Change your "Full Name" to anything you want âś“
(humor is fine, just use common sense and avoid anything offensive here!)
That's it!
Go ahead and post your questions or *most challenging concepts* now in the comments. They are designated as "Hidden"- so it's just like you're having a private conversation with only ME.
I'll drop you a reply to let you know ahead of time if I'll be addressing YOUR specific question or challenging topic in tomorrow's call. If you don't receive a reply before the call... don't worry- I'll still give you feedback as time permits. I'll be going through these comments and questions personally throughout the weekend and week-ahead (if necessary), and replying to you directly with my thoughts and advice- drawing from my own experience, and referencing the text as well (whenever possible).
Stay tuned for instructions on how to access tomorrow's call-
And thank you for carrying through with the exercise, even if your eyes get stuck 🙄
Cheers!
