Quoia and Tish interview the creator and star of Bastards' Road, director Brian Morrison & Jonathan Hancock, as well as soundtrack duo Mike-Mark Gibbons & Daniel Strauch!

Marine Corps combat Veteran Jonathan Hancock came by the show to share his story that was documented for a feature film called Bastards' Road. Bastards' Road is an award winning documentary recounting Jon's 6,000 mile walk around the country. Jon decided to take this journey in 2016, after he had attempted suicide and was struggling with PTSD and his new role as a college student. During his walk, Jon met with Gold Star Families, an act that was healing both for Jon and the families of the fallen. Jon's journey helped him reclaim values that were important to him as a Marine, like loyalty and self accountability. Jon and Joe discuss the importance of listening to our Nation's combat Veterans and respecting their experiences and the stories of those who didn't return home.  Are you a Veteran who is transitioning to Entrepreneurship?

About Our Guest Back in 2016 a Marine Combat Veteran, battling PTSD and looking to reclaim his life after a suicide attempt landed him in the hospital Jon Hancock walked nearly 6,000 miles around the country visiting Gold Star families (those who had lost one of his fellow Marines in combat) and he ended that journey in a grand fashion at Camp Pendleton in southern California... Marines stood at attention every 50 ft for a mile as Jon completed the last steps of his walk with hundreds of people behind him. Jon Hancocks advocacy has strengthened since after the walk with the formation of his non-profit organization, Bastards Road Project. He has been featured on national interviews in Forbes.com, CNN, Cheddar, Military.com, as well as across the country in the OC Register, Florida Today, and Baltimore Sun, among others. His remarkable honesty, insight and humor encourage strength to face down trauma and the self-loathing, depression and isolation that follows it. The documentary feature film Bastards Road directed by Brian Morrison (who also lensed & produced the film) chronicling Jons epic walk is the winner of seven festivals in 2020 and true a journey of the heart and soul across our country.

On this week's podcast SOFREP Senior Editor and SOFREP Radio host, Steve Balestrieri talks with Jonathan Hancock a Marine veteran from 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment – The Magnificent Bastards – who walked 5,800 miles across the United States to visit fellow Marines and Gold Star families in a journey of healing. Jon's trek across the country and his interactions with the veterans, Marines, and Gold Star families was filmed, at first by himself and then by filmmaker Brian Morrison who joined him on the road. The footage became the critically-acclaimed documentary Bastards' Road. Steve and Jon talk about Jon's career in the Marines, his service with the 2/4 during the bloody Battle of Ramadi in 2004, his amazing journey across the United States, and the positive impact it had on those around him.

The journey is ALWAYS as important as the destination... “Bastards’ Road” tells the story of US Marine Combat Veteran Jon Hancock’s epic healing journey on foot across the United States. Walking over 5,800 miles, Hancock confronts the demons that had overtaken his life. Visiting his fellow 2/4 Marines - a unit known as the The Magnificent Bastards - and families of their fallen along the way, Jon’s unique insight, humor and compassion illuminates a story much bigger than himself. “Bastards’ Road” builds a bridge between a marginalized Veteran community dealing with extraordinarily high suicide rates and a civilian population struggling to understand. This is an important piece of cinema as it puts us in the well worm boots of those who have served and the difficulties that come with re-entering civilian life. We talk with director/producer Brian Morrison, and original soundtrack team Daniel Strauch and Michael Marx-Gibbons of Aliceanna Collective about the making of the film and capturing the importance of walking a mile in someone else's shoes...

We have all found ourselves in those moments when something horrific happens. You witness a terrible accident or car wreck. The images are burned into your mind. But for most of us, it may be a single event, though the memory of it remains. Now imagine repeated, horrific events – unexpected and unsettling – inducing flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety. Many who are sent to defend our country experience this, and when their service is over, they are expected to return to everyday life. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder has destroyed lives, families and communities. But how well do we understand PTSD and its impact? What about treatment and recovery? Today, a Marine combat veteran joins us to discuss his personal story of PTSD. He walked 6,000 miles around the country as part of his healing process to address the wounds of war. His experience has been depicted in the documentary "Bastards' Road,” and the director joins us to talk about the film and what we can all take away from the story. Plus, a clinical social worker from Houston's VA Hospital, also fields listeners' questions about PTSD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etnKJSi1ocs Guests are: Jon Hancock: Marine combat veteran, whose story is told in the documentary "Bastards' Road" Brian Morrison: Director and cinematographer of "Bastards' Road" Carine Meyer: Senior Social Worker and Military Sexual Trauma Coordinator at the Michael E.

HERE WE GO! It's time for some laughter, some tears, and even a bit of head-scratching with this episode of BEHIND THE LENS with our special guests, filmmakers IVO RAZO and BRIAN MORRISON! Take a listen as writer/director IVO RAZO talks about his film, the mockumentary/satire/parody, REBOOT CAMP. (Heads up folks, Chaz Bono is in the film and he is really one of the reasons to watch!) The story of two brothers who create the fake self-help group, REBOOT CAMP, led by the fictional "Gordon St. Pierre" (expertly played by David Lipper), in order to make an expose-type documentary about fake gurus and the ease with which people are conned into believing anything and everything. Surprisingly, this fabricated REBOOT CAMP becomes a hit and garners a devoted following. But what happens when the tables turn on the brothers and an interloper upsets their apple cart? With an all-star cast, some acting in character and others as themselves, Ivo talks about the logistical challenges of shooting and meshing the schedules of talent, the immersiveness of the "Reboot Camp" experience, balancing the satire so as not to go over the edge, finding laughs, benefits of using one location for the bulk of the shoot, and so much more! And after a belly full of laughs and fun, #BTLRadioShow takes a serious turn as director/producer/editor BRIAN MORRISON joins us, talking about his latest documentary BASTARDS' ROAD. A powerful and insightful look at former Marine Jon Hancock who walks in solitude 5800 miles across the United States, reconnecting with his brothers-in-arms and their families, as he tries to heal the wounds of war from within. Sobering statistics on Veterans, PTSD, and suicide were again revealed in a 2019 Veteran Affairs report which found that the Veteran suicide rate is 50% greater than for non-veterans; more than 60,000 Veteran suicides from 2008-2017; and ages 18-34 (those who fought in the most recent insurrections and battles in Afghanistan and Iraq) is the fastest-growing suicide rate among Veterans, increasing 76% since 2005. The November 2020 VA report stated that "the average number of Veteran suicides per day was 17.6 in 2018." Veterans suicide was roughly 27.5 per 100,000 individuals in 2018, up from 25.8 per 100,000 in 2016. By comparison, among all U.S. adults, the suicide rate per 100,000 was 18.3. A "Must See" film for all Americans, listen as Brian talks about how he became involved and inspired with Hancock's journey, the logistics of shooting a cross-country trek such as this, his own trepidation at "intruding" into the lives of the former Marines Hancock reconnects with along the way, keeping the camera unobtrusive, score, and a challenging editing process. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

"Bastards' Road" is a documentary about Veteran Jonathan Hancock who walked 5,800 miles around the United States to visit fellow soldiers and help deal with his PTSD. This powerful film just won Best Documentary at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. At the Slamdance Film Festival, we talked to director Brian Morrison and producer/writer Mark Stafford about how they met Jonathan and the emotional experience of interviewing veterans about their service & their emotional wounds. Hosted by Carlos Aguilar & Conor Holt. Music by Kevin MacLeod at www.incompetech.com

BASTARDS’ ROAD tells the story of the many combat veterans, like Jon Hancock who are navigating the complicated transition back to civilian life. After years of struggling, Jon decided to take an epic journey across the country - on foot. Walking nearly 6,000 miles alone, Jon confronts the demons that had overtaken his life. Visiting his fellow 2/4 Marines - known as the The Magnificent Bastards - and families of their fallen along the way, Jon finds a mission greater than his own redemption. Veterans everywhere are struggling with PTSD. They are taking their own lives at an alarming rate - 50% higher than non-veterans. With remarkable honesty, insight and humor, Jon’s journey is uniquely positive. It’s about changing the ways one relates to traumatic memories. It’s about beginning the healing process. Director Brian Morrison joins us to talk about the raw emotions and the deep pain of men and woman who have done what their country asked them to do.

Michael Gross: Okay, to everybody listening to today's Option Seller's Guest Series, we have a very special guest for you today. I am speaking with Dr. Alexander Elder. For those of you who may not be familiar with Dr. Elder, you should be. He is a legend in the trading world. He has two classic books: "At Least Trading for a Living" and "Come into my Trading Room", which I feel should be staples of anybody who's considering becoming a serious trader. Dr. Elder, welcome to the show today! Dr. Elder: Thank you very much! Pleasure being here. Gross: Dr. Elder, we're going to start. Obviously, our readers and listeners here sell options: some of them sell index options; some of them sell stock options. Obviously, here we talk about selling commodities options but I think it might be interesting to a lot of our listeners and readers to hear your story. You have a very interesting story about how you got to this country and how you got started in trading and I wonder if you wouldn't mind sharing that. Dr. Elder: Well... I was born. Sometimes people ask me, "Where are you from?" I say, "I was born in a non-existent country. I was born in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic." To make a very long story very short, I early on developed a massive hatred of the Soviet system. And I got involved in politics, which was a dangerous business in the old country. And eventually, I realized I didn't want to go to a Soviet prison so I got a job on a ship and I jumped ship in Africa. I came to the United States. The embassy people – the US embassy people - flew me from Africa to New York. I came to New York with 20 dollars - 18 dollars to my name. And that was my arrival here. I worked. I took all kinds of exams because back in the old country, I went to medical school, actually graduated medical school, and got my MD at a tender age of 22. So I reconfirmed my diplomas here. I did my residency in New York and got a teaching position at Columbia University. So while all of that was going on, I'm generally a very curious person. I want to know about different things, and I found such a thing called the stock market. Well, that just sounded so exciting. I started reading books and I started gambling. I mean, of course, I didn't think of it as gambling at that time but gambling it was. And I had a tiny account, you know - 5000-dollar account. I would run it into the ground, make some more money, open another tiny account, run it into the ground and eventually I learned enough that I stopped running it into the ground. Now, took me years, took me years to overcome that obstacle. And to this day, I'm saying to people that a higher degree of formal education is an obstacle to successful training. The higher your formal education, the more difficult it's going to be for you to learn how to trade - and there's a very good reason for that. But once I figured out the game, once I began trading properly, I realized that there hasn't been a book that properly explained everything I needed. And I wrote a book, I wrote a book that was basically a book I wish I could have bought 5 years earlier. And that was "Trading for a Living". It became a huge best seller, an international best-seller translated into 14 languages and still a best-seller in the US for over 20 years. Just last year 2014, I produced a new edition of this book. The publisher was begging for a new edition for ages and I said, Well, I allocated three months to do a new edition. Well, it took me 18 months instead of three. I really completely rewrote the book. And so that's my book the new "Trading for a Living. That's... As far as for myself, I trade. I trade professionally. I spend a fair bit of time in front of the screen, mostly trading stocks and commodities. And I also love teaching. Whenever a company invites me to speak somewhere and pay for it, I am happy to get on a plane. I just came back from Asia. I was teaching almost a week-long course in Macau near Hong Kong. And then I was teaching a very long course in Tokyo. And this was a very wonderful trip. Made new friends, met some old friends, saw some old friends, and here I am back in Vermont which is I am based these days, far from the avenue crowd, with ten-mile views, in front of the live screen and occasionally talking to people like you. Gross: That's, that's fascinating beginning. You made an excellent point and I wanted to ask you about it. You said that you felt a higher education to becoming a successful trader. Can you explain now a little bit more? Dr. Elder: Yeah. Of course, it will be a pleasure. There are... in nature, in society, in civilization, in anything, there are two types of causation: dynamic causation and stochastic causation /. Dynamic causation is very simple: you have a stem on your desk. You push the stem, that stem moves in the direction, which you push it. Or you lift the stem, you release your fingers and the stem drops on the floor under the force of gravity. That's dynamic causation. If you do A, B will happen. 100%. Stochastic causation is, or some people have something to do with stochastic indicator. Some people call it probabilistic causation - is when an event happens only in a percentage of cases. Like for example, say you come to my house and I say to you, "Let's - we have half an hour before dinner. Let's play a little game. Here have a drawer with clean socks - black socks which I wear everyday and white socks which I wear to the gym. I have 10 pairs of black socks and 4 pairs of white socks. Now, you want to make a money bet and put your hand into the drawer blindly and pull a pair?" And you say, "Yes." And so what are you going to bet on? And of course you will say, "Well, I'm going to bet on black right because there are 10 black pairs therefore white pair." You put your hand without looking. And lo and behold, a white pair comes out. You lost your money. You do it again. And again, a white pair comes out. You lost your money again. And that's what it often happens in trading. What it means is in addition to having an idea of what you're going to buy or sell, you also have to placate that idea with money management because that idea will never be hundred percent. So that's the baseline. Now, you take an educated person, say, a doctor. The way we're trained, if a patient comes to a doctor and he is hurting somewhere, that person deserves a diagnosis. So a doctor will examine this patient, diagnose his problems, and prescribe treatment. Now suppose he cannot diagnose his problem, well he will order more tests. If he still cannot diagnose his problem, he will send him to a consultant. In other words, the patient deserves a diagnosis and the doctor will not stop until the diagnosis is made. A good doctor will not stop. But here's done in the financial markets, you can look at a stock and say, "Is this going up or down? Up or down? Up or down? Hmm ... I don't know." Well, let's pull maybe five more indicators? Ten more indicators? Apply speed lines. Apply Elliott wave. Apply Endelope. Apply. Apply. Apply. I'm going to apply enough tools and feel I have an answer which way the stock will go. And that is a total sack of shit. Because the stock happens to be in a chaotic state and applying more tools is a self-delusional thing. A good trade is supposed to jump off you from the screen. It's clear. And forcing a trade like that is a typical mistake of educated people who feel that if there are more tests and are more indicators, things are going to be hunky dory - which they are. A friend of mine who spent his professional life in Saudi Arabia working for Aramco, this American-Arabian oil company said to me, "If I were to come to my manager and say to him that I can design a pumping station that would work perfectly six times out of ten and four times it would blow up, my manager would lock me out of his office. But this is how I would have to function as a trader. I have to design a system that would work five, six times, blow up four times and I'm going to be ahead of the game at the end of the month. So that's what - that guy was working to overcome his perfectionism but this is why a high degree of education is really a negative, something to be overcome. Just in conclusion, there was a guy he died a few years ago. There was a guy in Chicago named Brian Morrison and he once said, "I have a Ph.D. in Mathematics. I specialize in Cybernetics. But I was able to overcome those disadvantages and make money." Gross: Boy, that's a fascinating observation and I think I agree with you. One of the biggest obstacles of traders is how they have to think about trading. And I think you're book is really focused on that as well - was the psychology of trading is one underestimated part of trading is what it is. Dr. Elder: Yeah. Respecting the randomness of the market, respecting the chaos of the market, and having the humility to say, I don't know this; I don't know that; and I am completely confused here BUT I have a notion of the certain pattern of order. And when that pattern encroaches from the chaos of the market, I'm going to pounce. I'm going to trade. But when there's no such pattern, I'm just going to sit back and wait. Scratch my nugget. Gross: Exactly. Exactly. Dr Alder, you do much of your work with individuals who want to trade for a living, who might even want to trade professionally. Here we… Dr. Elder: Not very much. Not very much. I used to enjoy private consulting. I kind of drifted out of it. I have a, I have a partner - [Name] - who left private consulting so when people come to me, when people come to me they want private consulting, I usually send them to Kelly. I always send them to Kelly 99% of the time. You know, there are things we do and things we get sort of out of good. What I am really focused on in terms of helping people see the way is I run this website together with my friend and business partner Kelly Lavone called Spikes Trade - SpikeTrades.com. And that's where, that's where we have traders competing for the best pick of the week. So we have a whole bunch of people submitting their favorite picks every weekend for the following week and of course... We run it essentially as a - we try to pick somebody real time. We measure their performance and winners receive bonuses. I think we're the only website that pays people for doing their homework. And I find that a lot of fun. So that's the kind of thing I enjoy doing as far as dealing with people. But sitting down with an individual, trying to help him, I'll do it once in a blue moon because it's really not where I am. Gross: So that's SpikeTrade.com? Dr. Elder: Yeah. Gross: Sounds like an excellent resource for anyone listening out there. Dr. Elder you made some great observations about the differences between investors, traders and gamblers. Can you briefly describe those differences based on your observations? Dr. Elder: You know, speaking, speaking about. Let's me speak about gamblers first. I was asked on the phone by a friend of mine earlier this morning. I have a very close friend - he is a dentist - who works like a donkey and makes very good money. And while his wife was alive, she was managing the finances and everything else. And ever since his wife died he was stunned, he was about forty, to manage the money. He showed me his account. I was appalled. This guy is putting quarter million dollars in his retirement fund every year and sometimes more. And the sum loses that money. Last time I saw, he showed me his paper he was in the million-dollar draw down. And I was saying to him, the kid is a gambler. He is not a stock trader. He - and actually he loves this one-week option. He is a gambler. And my friend says yes he just likes pushing the buttons. He likes pushing the buttons. So we were discussing how to take the kids away from the gambling. Gamblers are for the excitement of the game and they don't care about the results. Eventually they would love to have process of course but ultimately they are after the excitement. Not after the results. A trader discovers the patterns of the market, discovers some patterns of order and motion in care of the market. And trades have patterns. I can say that myself primarily a trade and most of my trades last from two days to a couple of weeks. An investor looks for the very long term. And I think at this day and age, investment is becoming - investing is becoming more and more difficult because of all the speeding up. The work has become way too fast and the old notion of stocks for widows and orphans, one decision starts - that's kind of outdated. You really have to be in tune with the swings of the market. Gross: Okay. So when you, when you talk about trading for the short, intermediate, longer term of you, do you have a preference there? Dr. Elder: Um, well I'm not sure what you mean by short, intermediate and long term trading. Gross: I know you're not a big fan of day trading. But you, I mean are your trades usually 1-2 weeks in duration or are you looking at a couple of months or longer? Dr. Elder: No, no, no, no. I would say a couple of weeks would be the far end of the thing. Gross: Okay. Dr. Elder: A few days - from a few days to maybe a couple of weeks and once in a blue moon a day trade. Sometimes when I am in front of the screen and nothing much preoccupies me I just this completely open day in front of me, I'll take a look at the screen. Maybe I'll find a day trade. But you lose from a few days to a couple of weeks. What I think is that I use technical analysis for tactical decision-making. And I find that with technical analysis is like head lights in the car - it lights up a little in front of you but it certainly doesn't light up - doesn't light up all the way home. So if you go with a reasonable speed, you see a bit of a difference ahead of you. And I say that if I can find the deviation in the market and trade against the deviation normal set, that's your last few days. Gross: Okay. Dr Elder, there's a lot of people the general public maybe not so much our listeners but a lot of people, even some financial media advisors consider public commodities a risky asset class and they try to steer their clients clear of it. What are your thoughts on that? Dr. Elder: I think - to start with a summary - I think there is nothing wrong with commodities. There is everything wrong with people who create commodities. The thing with commodities is this: that, well, most - the average lifetime a commodity is created is about three months. Why is it - why? It's because commodities are traded on paper thin margins. A stock trader may buy stocks put half the money down and half the money is margin. It's basically trading at 50% margin. He has to put down 50% of his purchase price. When you trade commodities, you can trade them on a 5% deposit. So some poor guy who has $20,000 dollars, he "invests" that money in a commodity trade and uses $20,000 dollars, he can control $400,000 dollars worth of merchandise. Now if it moves his way, it's magic. He can double his money in a hurry. But you know, if it doesn't go his way, it can actually move a day again. And if he moves a day again, by the time you settle a percentage, he loses half of his margins. His walker gives him a margin call and his trading career is finished. Commodities are wonderful, clean, open, tactical market. There is nothing wrong with commodities. As I said there is everything wrong with commodity traders mainly because they have no conception of leverage and of risk control and there are rules in controlling those risks. In my book, I even have tables which tell you this is how you find out which commodities you can afford to trade and which you cannot afford to trade. Then of course poor beginners crowd into this field not knowing how to control risks, what they can/cannot do. They get blown out. So I usually say to people commodities are not for beginners some stocks. Learn the game. Most important, learn risk management and then, if you're still interested in commodities, come on in. Gross: Dr. Elder are you there? Dr. Elder: Yeah yeah I'm still here. I think I might... Gross: I'm sorry. I thought it cut off. Okay. We've talked about that in our writing as well. And one observation I made early in my career was that people that, I thought was one of the biggest mistakes new commodities traders is they came in and they trade commodities like they trade stocks without understanding that leverage and they can't stay on the market even for the short term swings. So I agree with that a hundred percent. I know a lot of the work you do, you favor technical analysis. Can you comment on the differences and how you see fundamentals playing a role. Can those work together? Do you discard fundamentals? Or how do you regard the fundamental aspect of trading? Dr. Elder: You know, I'm afraid I have a very simple, not to say primitive approach to fundamentals in a sense that I get an idea that some things are important, some things make sense. And that turns me to a certain stock or a sector in the market. And then use technical analysis to sharpen my insights, to find the specific stocks or commodities for that matter to trade. For example, for example - according to The Economist magazine, by the end of the next decade, the world will have a hundred thousand professional drone operators. It's an amazing number. It will be a whole new line of business - whole line of work. And either it's going to be a whole lot of 100 thousand drone operators. I take it as a sign that there will be also a tremendous number of drones flying and being made. So why don't they look at drone companies? And that's pretty much the fundamental - that's the fundamental from the technical analysis from me. Get a bigger year. Get a bigger year. Or for example, a couple of weeks ago, I was teaching this class in Macau. One of my campers - one of my group participants asked me to look at this stock called PBR - Petroleo Brasileiro. It's a Brazilian national oil company. I haven't looked at. I was actually in Brazil a few years ago and somebody asked me in the class what's my favorite pick in the Brazilian market. And PBR was trading at $60 back then. And I said, of course PBR. You know, it was like I - it was a sacrilege to say something like that. It was actually funny. In any case, I look at the chart now, PBR used to be $70 and I suggested shorten that to $60. It's now trading below 5. And again just from reading magazines I know what's happening. Prices of gas dropped. But also there's a huge, huge, huge political scandal in Brazil and apparently PBR was giving money to the governing party for its campaigns. Huge political crisis in the country. And I'm saying to myself, well, the stock was trading at $70, it's now trading below 5. Meanwhile, it's really driven down by the times. Meanwhile, all these oil fields in Brazil, it has the monopoly. Brazil has a ton of oil and PBR is pumping that oil at a cost of $40 per barrel. So they're not making so much money now but they are still making a few bucks. And meanwhile, they own - they basically own the country's oil just the oil. The stock has been driven down by a tank. And now we switch to technical analysis just like a bicycle. But this is basically how it works for me. Fundamental - a very broad fundamental view of either societal trend or technological trend raise an alarm bell for you. Hey, this is interesting! This is interesting. Let's take it into the computer. Let's see how the moving stack up and everything else. Gross: Okay. That's an interesting view and I'll ask you a market question here at the end but before we get to that, we - in our books, in our materials, we occasionally quote you or cite some observations you've made in your studies. Dr. Elder: Thank you. Gross: And one reason for that is that we tend to think that your books cut through a lot of the fluff and useless information available to investors and get right into the core concepts. What really works as a trader, what doesn't. I've noticed personally coming into my trading room that you're a proponent of selling options versus not buying them. Can you elaborate on that? Why do you favor selling options as a strategy? Dr. Elder: You know, when I teach classes, occasionally, let me backtrack. When I teach classes, I often say to people: having met literally over ten thousand traders, investors - traders mostly - I have never met one person - not one - who built an account buying options. Now, all of us have some successful option trades or we buy something. I had a trade once when I - that was before - I bought a, I bought a 3 8 on Friday. It opened on Monday at 13. So all of us got those fantastic stories of success in buying an option. But in all those years, I have never met one individual - not one - who built up an account buying options. At the same time, I have several friends who make a good living year in and year out selling options. I know many successful option sellers. And not a single successful option buyer. I think the person who summarized it best for me was that years ago, this woman came for some classes with me. She was a floor trader at the American Exchange. She was an options specialist. But she was pretty adamant she wanted to get off the floor and learn something about computerized trade. That's how she came in. And she said to me, "Options are a hope business. You can buy hope or you can sell hope. I am a professional. I come to the floor in the morning and look to see what people are hoping for. And then I try that hope and sell it to them. Options are a hope business. If you're going to give me a little hope, you better sell hope, not buy them. Gross: That's probably the greatest observation of option selling I've ever heard. One of the analogies we use is options sellers operate kind of like an insurance company where you're selling collecting premium, premium, premium. Occasionally, you pay out on one. But if you do it like the insurance company does it, it should be a profitable venture in the long term. Dr. Elder: Right. Right. Just price it right. Price it right. I have a friend in Michigan, her name is Bea Buffelin. She is quite a character. She is a mathematician. She is a chess player. She is a psychologist with Ph.D. and she loves selling options. She said to me, "I feel like I am running a roulette on a cruise ship. And all these guys are coming in. They have gold chains and they are loud but they cannot afford a thousand shares of Microsoft. So they buy options from me. And they're having fun and drinking beer. But you know? Four times a year that wheel stops and I sweep off the money. Gross: Sure. So she's operating as kind of a cool business professional and they're doing it for entertainment is what it sounds like. Dr. Elder: They're having fun. They're having fun. Lots of it. Fun is expensive. Gross: Yeah. Dr. Elder: At the very beginning of my career as a trader, this old professional trader in New York said to me, "Successful trading should be a little bit boring. if you entertain, move right back. Something is wrong with this picture. " Gross: Exactly. I think the professionals I've met in this business as well, they approach it as a business. It's not a fun past time. It's a very business-like approach. And they're looking to play the odds. And it's one of the things that you talk about as well. Dr Elder, if you - as far as option-selling as a strategy goes, what would be the top 3 things you would look for if you were identifying an option to sell? Dr. Elder: Well, first of all, let me say right away, I am not an expert on options. I used to promise to myself, next year I am going into and provide options. But to me it's not a hugely complicated other area. I am super comfortable trading short and long stocks and fusions. And learning how to trade options is something I've been putting off year after year and so I certainly don't hold out myself as an expert in options for a moment. Except that I can say with utter confidence that the only way to make money with options is to sell them, not to buy them. Now, as far as selling options, so having said that, I would look for technical patterns. I would look for stocks that are very. And actually I would want to sell cold. I would look for stocks that have crashed and stop crashing to the very bottom. And that's where I would sell those. And then of course I could pull things like Delta because they would want to sell options whose likelihood of going into the money would be minimum. So that's about it. Gross: Okay. As far as getting into commodities - new investor, taking into his first steps into commodities, they want to get diversified form equities... Dr. Elder: I think the person who want to get into commodities has to show at least a couple of years of successful stock trading. If you're successful in stocks for two years, try commodities. Commodities are very, very fast. And it's not a good place to begin. I mean I love trading commodities. I have a position in a hell of a position in commodities going on right now. But it's not a beginner's game. You really have to have a bit of experience to get into. Gross: Okay, good. Alright, I'm going to ask you one question. I don't want to get into too much of a specific trades and things like that. But I would like to ask your opinion on the overall macro picture right now especially as it relates to commodities in general. We've been in some pretty steady downtrends in a lot of markets. Is that something you see continuing in 2016 or what's your take on that. Dr. Elder: Well, I think I want to buy the worst performing market and to short the best performing markets as a general attitude. And what I see in many commodities now is that it has been sold down to - well, in any case, I'm looking for bottoms and those things. Agriculturals, for example. We're supposed to be hit with one of the worst El Ninos in decades. That's not going to be too friendly to commodities so meaning that the growing areas are going to be hit. Shortages are likely to develop. Commodities - agricultural commodities are likely to go up. I'm a contrarian trader. Whenever I see sustained downtrend, my first inclination is to say, whoa, is there a bottom there? And that's of course we get into analysis comes in. Now, looking at more tropical commodities, looking at tropical commodities, we're just now looking at the track of causes. The deep bottom in 2014, stronger now and now still going on. And it still going low lows but will tiny little margins. So that to me is a sign of being completely exhausted. 'Coz it now becomes a question of timing when you will have a and buy. Essentially I am a contrarian trader. And I think as an options seller, you have to be a contrarian trader because you sell hope. Gross: Absolutely. Sure. We always talk about it's a process of not necessarily deciding where the market is not going to go but where it's not going to go. Dr. Elder: Right. Gross: And that's really the gist of the whole thing. Dr. Elder this has been some great information. We really appreciate you sharing your wisdom and knowledge with our listeners and readers. In addition to your books, you mentioned your website, where can traders and investors learn more about your work and what you have to offer. Dr. Elder: Well, I have two websites.

So I have this Elder.com website. Visit. And then right on that website, you will find a link for Spike Trade, which is really where I live nowadays.
