Foreword

“To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect.”

—Oscar Wilde

This is a book about expectations—and how to make money when they go awry.

So perhaps it’s fitting that I’m writing the foreword. Because if you know anything about me or the publications I write (like The 5-Minute Forecast), then you might think this the last place you’d expect to see my name.

As the executive publisher of Agora Financial, LLC, I oversee over 24 newsletters and e-letters. And while a few of them offer information on short-term trades, I like to focus on the bigger, overarching trends. The “big picture” events. The strategies you need to grow and manage your own money.

On the surface, the “binary options” described inside this book are the antithesis of all that. These options are quick bets on short-term fluctuations in the market. If you get them right, they can double or triple your money in five days or less. Impressive, sure. But not the sort of thing I’d usually be comfortable advocating.
