In the 1970's, a contrarian investor named Robert Lichello first introduced the Automated Investment Management (AIM) method. AIM is a safe and scientific way to always buy low, sell high, and earn significant profits from the inevitable ups and downs of the stock market. Even with ten of the "boring" Dogs of the Dow stocks, a portfolio that used AIM would have increased 70% from January 2014 to May 2019. How many investors can say they've seen a 70% increase in one of their portfolios over the last five years? With the creation of Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS) in 1990, a unique opportunity to profit even more from AIM was introduced. With LEAPS, investors have the dual benefits of greater control (one contract contains 100 options) plus greater profits due to the larger volatility that comes from options. Investing in the LEAPS of those same ten Dogs of the Dow companies, your portfolio would have increased an exciting 485% over the same timeframe using the AIM method. Subscribers to the monthly JJJ Investing Services newsletter have been able to track these results for themselves. Worth noting - this is NOT day trading. Jeff's system is so efficient and reliable that checking your portfolio once a month (or whenever you are notified about an automatic trade) is sufficient. That is the power of AIM plus LEAPS - and Jeffrey Weber is the world's leading teacher and authority on this remarkable investing method.Now in his third investing book, Jeff applies his extensive experience with never-before published instructions, results, and insights for FAANG investors - those who want to profit from the high tech revolution. (FAANG represents high tech companies dominated by Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google - now Alphabet). Jeff's portfolio of the LEAPS with 10 FAANG companies went from $1,000,000 in January 2016 to $2,698,118 in March 2019. That is a growth of almost 170% in 3 years - and 2018 wasn't a very good year. How does that compare to your results from the tech revolution?Inside this book, you will see the actual calculations, instructions, and online brokerage screenshots that make these results possible. Jeff Weber wants to help as many investors as possible benefit from the AIM investing method.
