Re: Daniel Kertcher/Platinum Pursuits - Serious or Scam?

1/ I don't think anyone could reasonably call leptokurtic, platykurtic...unless on time frames that are too short.

2/ You cannot fool the option nerds here with claims of profit, as we are proficient with distributions, delta, gamma etc etc. There are no secrets and all short puts, whether synthetic or natural, whether tricked up with stop losses, guaranteed or not, will conform to distributions as per those Greeks allow.

3/ There is nothing inherently wrong with the short put, but it is picking up pennies in front of a steam roller. It can be learnt for free off the interwebzzz.... sorry if you paid 5k  or whatever for it, but what you've got is a convoluted form of a single natural strategy. Many of us, including myself, use the short put (either natural or synthetic) when appropriate.

Hardly any (if any at all that aren't subsidized by seminar clowning) long term traders use it exclusively.

Basic stuff all tarted up like a pox doctor's clerk really.
