16.  How much capital do I need to begin trading the recommendations?
There’s no specific amount of money that you need to dedicate to trading our recommendations.  You should determine what amount is appropriate based on your own personal money management and investment strategy.  The cost of Brian’s individual recommendations range from about $50 up to about $500.

Remember, only use funds that you’ve set aside for speculative purposes.  Never use funds that you might need for food, clothing, the mortgage, rent, transportation, and other necessary living expenses.  Of course, be sure to seek the advice of your broker or financial advisor when determining if any particular investment is suitable for you.

17.  What is the average cost of your recommendations?
The average cost of the options we recommend generally range between $50 and $500 per contract.  Keep in mind that the prices quoted in the Trade Alerts are for one option contract.  If you buy more than one contract, you will have to multiply the price times the number of contracts purchased.

18.  Will you respond to questions and comments about the market, the option recommendations, investment strategy and other similar topics?
Unfortunately, due to US Securities Laws and Regulations, we are not permitted to respond personally to individual questions about the market, individual investments or the investment strategy.  However, questions we receive via email are forwarded to the editor for possible inclusion in the Weekly Update email sent each Friday afternoon.
