Ken Trester (RSS)

As the nation's foremost professional options trader, Ken Trester is not just another "options educator." He is a pro who has been trading options since the first exchanges opened in 1973 with a winning streak that goes all the way back to 1984 and money-doubling average annual profits since 1990.

In fact, Ken puts his money where his mouth is and actively trades his own account each and every day as part of his popular Maximum Options service. Using his own proprietary system -- called the Power-Plus Profit Tracker -- Ken uncovers up to 10 low-cost, high-potential options trade recommendations each week, from single-option plays to spreads and also offers access to his top stock picks each week. He has a two-pronged approach to profiting -- by uncovering options that are undervalued, you profit when they start trading up (or down) to their fair value PLUS you also benefit from the underlying stocks' momentum.

Ken has also written two books on options: 101 Option Trading Secrets and The Complete Option Player, now in its fourth edition and among the best-selling options books ever.

He is also widely quoted in publications such as Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities and Barron's. He has earned considerable respect as a financial advisor and a highly sought lecturer at investment seminars throughout the United States.

Ken has an MBA and has also worked as a stockbroker, an investment manager and as a computer science professor at Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California, where he taught a wildly popular course on stock options trading.
