The Cow Report

There are bulls, there are bears and then there are cows. Cows use Covered Calls to generate consistent monthly income from a stock investment to meet living expenses or to compound the growth of a portfolio. By definition, bulls and bears are wrong half the time, whereas a cow consistently produces returns, regardless of market direction."

What We Do
Lets get right to the point. There is a better way to invest your money. For over 10 years we have been teaching investors how to make a cash return of 3 6% per month from their stock investments, regardless of market direction. We achieve these remarkable returns through a proprietary application of the Covered Call technique, which has been developed and practiced by us for over 25 years. Our clients use this technique in both retirement and nonretirement accounts. The large monthly returns can be reinvested to dramatically compound the growth of a portfolio or withdrawn on a monthly basis for cash income in retirement. Does 3% 6% per month, regardless of market direction, sound too good to be true? We invite you to listen to dozens of recorded interviews with our clients who achieve these returns, month after month, year after year, through good markets and bad just CLICK HERE.

Joseph Hooper Aaron Zalewski

Compound Stock Earnings was founded in 1999 by former broker and bank owner Joseph Hooper in response to a genuine need to educate the ordinary investor about the merits of Covered Calls. Correct application of the Covered Call technique allows the generation of consistent monthly income from a stock investment. This income can be used for living expenses in retirement, or reinvested on a monthly basis to dramatically compound the value of a portfolio. Our clients learn to consistently generate 3 - 6% per month (Want Proof?) cash income from a stock portfolio, regardless of market direction. Our technique is so conservative it is approved for use in retirement accounts (IRA, 401k etc). If you are willing to learn a safe, conservative and very effective method to manage your own money, then you have come to the right place.

Client of the Week

CSE Founders Joseph Hooper and Aaron Zalewski host "UNCONVENTIONAL WI$DOM - The CSE Investment Show", a weekly financial talk back radio program airing in Dallas, LA, Boston, Chicago, and Atlanta Each week, Joseph and Aaron have a long-term client on the show to talk about their returns using the CSE techniques. Tune in, and you'll hear how CSE clients are making returns between 3% and 6% per month, even those who had never bought a stock in their life before becoming a Compound Stock Earnings client. All of the radio shows are posted on the CSE website. You can listen to five years of radio shows and hear how CSE clients have consistently earned between 3% and 6% per month regardless of market direction.

Eleanor from Massachusetts is this weeks client of the week. Eleanor was listening to the radio, expecting a gardening program when the Compound Stock Earnings Investment show came on. She was skeptical at first, but after researching, decided that the CSE approach was just what she was looking for. Eleanor has been using our Covered Call technique since 2006 and earns 4-5% per month. To listen to Eleanors appearance on our radio show - CLICK HERE. To listen to past radio shows CLICK HERE.

Joe Hoopers Weekly Editorial

Aaron and I have been conducting the 2-Day Intensive Seminar in LA the last few days (Wednesday and Thursday) this is the first city outside of Dallas that Aaron and I have conducted the 2-Day Intensive for a number of years We usually teach the Dallas 2-Day Intensive each month and Randy Bassett and Keener White conduct our seminars in markets other than Dallas... . there was a great group attending many many new folks but so many clients that have been to our seminars for years it was really great .. some of these folks look a lot older . these folks in LA are really great clients very knowledgeable . very cool folks (it is LA after all) . this was the first weekday Seminar Aaron and I have done in many years and it was great because we had real time trades during market hours . we will be going to each city in 2012 introducing ourselves to new clients and renewing old relationships with clients of many years it is just great during our conversation with the LA clients it was brought out that the reasons our clients have such high returns . not believed by the dullards .. is the fact that the street has always concentrated on using analysts to try to determine if a stock is going to go up .. there are many main street analysts in and our of jail .. and they all have different opinions on the same stocks. the reason . this is an obvious failed business model . where CSE says that you cannot speculate on stocks going up not possible that is obvious from the street failures to enable folks to retire . CSE does not care if a stock goes up we just want it to go up and down which all stocks do we just want it to stay in business .. if it stays in business we will make 3 - 6% per month on average or more depending on the CSE technique used . we know all stocks go up and down and our techniques capitalize on that event no one can project if a stock is going to go up . you are an investment fool if you believe otherwise . all our techniques are designed to make consistent monthly cash flow on these up and down movements that is why our clients are successful speculators married to the street are utter failures . losers . .. again no body can reliably predict a stock is going to go up in this modern world where so many things are going on and communication is so fantastic the one thing you know for sure is that stocks go up and down . so it only make sense that you use techniques that capitalize on that phenomenon . moving on .

Want Proof?
The following section of the Cow Report shows actual brokerage statements of accounts traded using our technique. It also shows client surveys that are conducted twice per year at various seminars showing exactly what our clients are making. At CSE we believe it's very important that when we quote returns, that we can provide the proof to back those statements up. You will find CSE unique in the financial education world in this regard - 99% of financial education companies cannot produce brokerage statements of accounts traded using their techniques and certainly can't produce client surveys showing such high success rates. CSE can because these returns are real and they are being made by thousands of CSE clients all over the world. No where else in the financial world will you find black and white EVIDENCE of such returns. For more detail, including monthly brokerage statement summaries, CLICK HERE.

How to get educated

For a country so focused on education, our level of financial literacy is incredibly poor. The Street, serving its own interests, has taught us all the wrong ways to invest. Even the most business savvy and educated generally have no idea how to effectively invest for growth throughout their working lives and for income in retirement. The world is caught up in a speculative buy and hope mentality to secure their financial futures. To the correctly educated, the foolery going on in the investment world today is almost criminal. You need an education about how to invest your money. No one else is going to do it for you. You wouldnt be reading this if your financial advisors had consistently made you money in both good markets and bad. Attend a FREE LIVE ONLINE introductory webinar workshop These sessions are held each Tuesday evening from 7.00 9.00pm Central Time. They are conducted live over the internet, so investors from all over the world can attend in the comfort of their own homes. At these online workshops, we provide an introduction to our Covered Call technique. Investors are also invited to discuss particular positions they hold and we will demonstrate how to lock in a MONTHLY return of between 3% - 6% on any stock investment.

This is the information that simply can't be passed on through a book. Investors leave the 2-Day Intensive Seminar with an unprecedented knowledge of the Covered Call technique and are ready to begin investing the very next day.

We are the only company in the financial education industry that allows existing clients to repeat seminars for free. We do this because we have nothing to hide from those who are currently using our technique. About 50% of the audience at each seminar is existing clients who are currently using our technique. It is also very rare that we ever hold a seminar where there arent several clients in attendance who have been using our technique for over a year. Come along and youll hear their successes first hand. Additionally, our Dallas seminars are offered online so you can attend them from the comfort of your own home and without having to travel. This is achieved through a live audiovisual link over the internet. If you attend online, you see exactly what the live audience sees. You also get to hear the presentation, hear the audiences questions and ask questions yourself. Online attendance is exactly like sitting in the live seminar room, except without the expense of travel.

Keith, Just a quick recap--this has been the best week yet of my three weeks in Credit Spread Platinum Selections. The first week yielded 3%, the second 5%, and this week 7%. If this is conservative, I can't imagine what aggressive would produce. Anyway, the important thing is my capital has been preserved, yet is growing at an unbelievable pace. Thank you and keep up the great work! Brad

Dear Joseph: I would feel much better about what we do at CSE if I understand your perspective on our mission. In other words how do we serve others by writing covered calls? My experience is if it's just to make money it is not a worthwhile long-term endeavor. Thanks so much in advance for your valued response. Regards, Lin

Dear Lin: Thanks for your note and your question. Let's start with the premise that if you are poor, you cannot help anyone. If poor, you are always on the end of receiving line. So, given that, we sell covered calls because by doing so we have the opportunity to make consistent monthly returns that through compounding builds great wealth from modest initial investments. This method of wealth building is the only one we know of that the "average" income person can achieve such goals. The first of that income is used to build a solid sustainable life style for one own family. That is always the basics of good charity for if you don't have a solid income for family, you

13

02/17/2012

cannot help others. Because of the high monthly income available, one can turn to helping others. After allowing for monthly income above what it takes to maintain an acceptable life style, there is always additional substantial monies to allow for compounding and the excess can be directed to charity. At that point, you have to contribute based on your own values. Nobody can direct you on this. As an example of what my wife and I do is varied. We contribute consistently on a monthly basis to our church. We also send deserving individuals to college, people that would never have the chance to improve their lives otherwise. We not only send them to college, we provide housing, cars and a monthly "salary". We contribute, through CSE, free educations on our techniques to wounded war veterans, we tutor young folks (14 and older) on our techniques for free, we provide "scholarship" to these folks to have funds to get started in investing. This is an example of our thinking. Everyone is different. Aaron participates with us on the CSE charity but has his own organizations that he contributes to. So, regarding your comment "My experience is if it's just to make money it is not a worthwhile long-term endeavor." selling covered calls allows you to make lots of money what you do with that money is up to you not us ... what do you do? Thanks and thanks for being a client. Joseph R. Hooper

2/10/2012 7:12:56 PM CST Dear Joseph, The following are the IC results ending this week. We had another good week with the CIC (Conservative Iron Condor). Greg closed his out on Monday morning for 5.0% gain and I closed mine in three steps on Monday for an average of gain of 5.5%. The current market

02/17/2012

conditions dictate getting out while the gains are good and do not wait for the grand slam. We were not able to get into a weekly credit spread this week because the positions did not meet the CSE rules. Our CIC positions we entered last Friday for expiration on Feb10 were centered at 1340: xxx FebWk2 1385 Call long xxx FebWk2 1355 Call short xxx FebWk2 1325 Put short xxx FebWk2 1295 Put long Greg and I both received a credit of $7.00. I closed my positions in the following order: 1/3 Monday 2:53 pm ET 1/3 Monday 3:41 pm ET 1/3 Tuesday 9:55 pm ET Average gross return: 5.5% VIRTUAL CIC Results: Open Date Th 2/2 F 2/3 M 2/6 Tu 2/7 Closed Date Return Fr 2/3 -10.6% (we would not actually open Th. 2/2) M 2/6 5.3% Tu 2/7 1.9% W2/8 3.0% 5.2% 5.5% 6.8%

Total Weekly Return (Weekly CIC and Virtual Daily CICs): 10.2% Our back testing and real trading for the past 49 weeks have yielded an average weekly return of 7.2% based on our trading rules. The account value started at 1 and finished the 49 weeks at 16.3 (e.g. if you started with $10K, the current value would be $163K, assuming you did not take any withdrawals and compounded earnings). The market closed results above are following the rules and do not take emotion into play. The actual returns the past ~ 2 months are real in my accounts. Past results do not guarantee future results. If I were starting to trade CICs I would gradually enter with real money (e.g. 3 contracts, then 6, then 9, then 12) The CIC positions we entered yesterday for expiration on Feb17 are centered at 1345: BTO xxx Feb12 1390 Call STO xxx Feb12 1360 Call STO xxx Feb12 1330 Put BTO xxx Feb12 1300 Put long short short long

Ed, The more I do TTM's the bigger my smile gets and the more excited I get. Just made two more trades for returns of 6.86% and 5.15%. Open and closed in 30 and 11 minutes. My only comment to you is GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what comes to mind when I think about you and your system. When you preach how simple the system is and just follow the rules, what you are preaching becomes clearer by the day. When I study the advanced charts it's so simple and I can't wait for sweet spots to develop. Thanks, Steve K

Hi. My name is Chad. I am interested in registering for one of your online seminars however I live in Australia and would like to know what central time or CST time is.

Dear Chad: Thanks for your note and interest in our on line Seminars. CST is "central time" Dallas is central time. We are in Fort Worth/Dallas area. Time in Dallas right now is 6:04 am, New York time is 7:04 am. Hope this helps, if not, let's try again. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Vance, I am glad you did well by following our trades. Keep it up. Keith

Dear Keith: What a great day! We got in at 8.10 and out at 6.00 for a net 6.7% on the weekly IC. We also dipped our toes back in on Weekly Credit Spreads and averaged 5.3% net on two positions last week. Thanks for all you do, Mitch and Tiffey

Mitch and Tiffany, Congratulations on some great trades. We appreciate you letting us know how well you are doing. Keith

Dear Ray and Bill: In a nutshell, what criteria for choosing Straddle vs 5-0 or Debit Spread? The question came up over xxx. You did a straddle at 97.50 but now a Debit Spread at $105. I missed the 97.50 but entered a $100 straddle on Monday, sold it for 20% gain on Wed and entered a $105 straddle. Now with your Debit Spread today, I have the option to sell the 110 Call and 100 put to turn my straddle into a debit spread and cut my cost from $4.15 to about $3.20. But it seems to boil down to a choice: 5-0 or Debit Spread with reduced cost, reduced risk but limited profit potential vs the straddle with 30-35% higher cost and risk, but also with unlimited potential gain. On a stock that has moved very substantially its past two earnings announcements. Or was the $97.50 straddle simply a solution to being in the middle between 95 and 100 but still wanting to get into xxx? Dave

Dave, Very good topic! We will be sure to cover this specific subject for everyone on Monday. There are multiple answers to your question and they are based on multiple variables, which we will discuss on Monday. One of our favorite features of the SSH Technique is that there are various options within the Technique from which to choose, based on weekly vs monthly, earnings vs no earnings, Debit Spread vs Straddle, etc. Thanks for the email and we will give details for you on Monday. Bill and Ray

2/10/2012 10:02:37 AM CST Dear David, Since xxx has continued to trade in a range between 605 -607, we are reducing our

28

02/17/2012

Limit/Credit on today's Close Out to $3.05. Combined with the $4.90 we earned on xxxx's profit, we would wind up at a breakeven on this week's 5-0 positions. Considering the excellent banked profits on both xxx and xxxx monthly SSHs this week, we would be fine with that result and will then just move forward to next week's new trades. Order is still as follows: BTC 600 xxx FEB WK2 PUT STC 605 xxx FEB WK2 PUT STC 605 xxx FEB WK2 CALL BTC 610 xxx FEB WK2 CALL Limit Credit reduced to $3.05 Bill and Ray Trade at your own risk and to your own skill level. Please follow all CSE Credit Spread / SSH Rules when entering this and all transactions.

Dear Ray and Bill: Since i could not get into the xxxx trade and the xxxx trade this week, this lost in xxx will bite me. In general, how do we handle management decisions (like in xxx) when you're not in some of the other trades of the week? David

David, We cannot account for why one online broker fills and the others don't, but we only manage what we are working with in our own accounts. That being said, the management move we would have made if we were receiving the email alerts rather than sending them would have been to take the Conservative strategy yesterday and Closed Out the entire xxx 5-0 yesterday for a small profit. We did send alerts regarding Conservative traders yesterday. While a lot of it was based on a combination with the very successful xxxx trade, Bill and I would have to borderline schizophrenic to be able to manage multiple sets of positions, with variations of which positions filled and which ones didnt outside of our own accounts. Our thought processes are simple with how we trade. We spend a large majority of our time searching for suitable positions, both weekly and monthly ones, and then we

29

02/17/2012

decide which orders to place. We send out email alerts to notify if/whether we fill, then we manage based on those open positions as well as the overall successes of the many other positions we fill during the option month. We understand your personal situation this week but if you are looking for the most uniform solution with what we trade and how we trade, we would recommend OptionsXpress only because that is who we use on all of our accounts. Ray

2/8/2012 1:08:45 PM CST Dear Bradley, I am closing my VIRTUAL daily CIC (Conservative Iron Condor) we opened yesterday centered at 1345 for a gain of 3%. We can close it now for a debit of 3.05 (40% rule): STC xxx FebWk2 1390 Call BTC xxx FebWk2 1360 Call STC xxx FebWk2 1330 Put BTC xxx FebWk2 1300 Put long short short long

Net Debit: $3.05 for a 3% gain. I was tracking my virtual trade via Excel in order to get a better estimate of the 40% rule, which is difficult to model in a virtual paper account. You may have to go higher to the Ask price to close it out in a virtual account. Keith

Dear Keith: You're the master and I'm the student, but why not wait for the end of the day, particularly with it staying centered now? Brad

Brad, You can get either a run or or sell off in the last hour. If it stays where it is, the premium will

30

02/17/2012

not change that much so why risk it. You also dont want to flood the market in the last 15 min. Check the number of contracts you are trading vs. the number of contracts usually traded. We dont need to be greedy. Keith

2/6/2012 1:02:46 PM CST Dear Joseph, The market has stayed very close to the center of our IC that we opened Friday. I am modifying my GTC for 1/3 of my contracts for a 5.2% gain and leaving the order in for the second third at 7%. This hopefully will fill shortly and the second third likely will not fill, but it makes it easier to change quickly. I will reassess in about an hour if it does not fill. STC xxx FebWk2 1385 Call BTC xxx FebWk2 1355 Call BTC xxx FebWk2 1325 Put STC xxx FebWk2 1295 Put long short short long

Net Debit: $5.45 for 5.2% gain on 1/3 contracts and $4.90 for a 7% gain on the second third. VIRTUAL status: If we held on to the virtual IC we opened last Thursday centered at 1325 ($8.40 premium), we could close it out now for $9.65, which is a loss of 4.1%. If you remember I said we would not have opened it Thursday due to the labor numbers being released Friday. I also suggested we close it Friday for a 10.6% loss if we had opened it in the first place. If we let it ride until today, we would not have been able to open the IC on Friday (assuming you only have 1 pot of money). Either way the gain would have been about the same for the 2 days. If we were to open a new daily IC position (VIRTUAL) today I would center it at 1340, which is the same center as we entered Friday. If we were doing all these in real money I would not close out Fridays today, but let it ride one more day because were are still basically centered.

2/9/2012 1:17:36 PM CST Dear Bradley, I just looked at the charts and am going to open the VIRTUAL daily Conservative Iron Condor (CIC) today centered at 1355, which will expire a week from Friday. This is also the week when the weekly options are the same as the Feb Monthlies. We will look to exit this trade tomorrow for a modest gain. The CIC positions we are entering today for expiration on Feb17 are centered at 1355: BTO xxx FebWk2 1400 Call STO xxx FebWk2 1370 Call STO xxx FebWk2 1340 Put BTO xxx FebWk2 1310 Put long short short long

Credit basis is $7.05. You will likely have to go to the Bid price if you are doing this in a VIRTUAL account. I am tracking it via Excel. Keith

Dear Keith: Filled at $5.80. Bid to ask was $5.80 - $8.70, making my credit basis at 40% more like $6.95. Brad

Brad, They were filling at the bid, which most virtual platforms do. That is why I use the bid and ask while keeping track in Excel. It provides me a more realistic model. Keith

02/17/2012

2/13/2012 5:33:52 AM CST Dear Joseph, The pre-market is up such that our CIC from Friday should be about 5 away from our center. I am putting a placeholder trade for a 2/3 of my contracts for a 7% gain. This likely will not fill, but it makes it easier to change quickly. Greg is likely to put in a similar trade for all of his contracts. We will reassess this after the market opens. STC xxx Feb12 1390 Call BTC xxx Feb12 1360 Call BTC xxx Feb12 1330 Put STC xxx Feb12 1300 Put long short short long

Net Debit: $6.05 for a 7% gain based in my original credit of $8.15. We will look to open a VIRTUAL CIC this afternoon that we plan to close Tuesday for a modest gain. Keith

Dear Keith: Wow, now I see why you changed to 7%. One account out of my four already filled at the 5% GTC I put in last Friday, and another account had a partial fill before I could get them changed to 7%. Amazing! This is a freaking' money machine. PTL! Brad

Dear MSthe only way to hit a home run is to bat to get on first. You hardly ever strike out and yesa home run appears.and a 66.7% return in a short period of time. Good to have you back. Consistency will change your life. Ed

If you are not making these high returns dont get discouraged or give up. There is too much at stake. Success with TTM trades will change your lives. Keep virtual trading and ask for help. **Trading The Moment trades are cash day trades. Enter a trade and back into cash within minutes. No management or very little management by trading the opposite side of the cycle. Believe it..Its true. These returns are amazing. These returns are NOT from professional day traders. They are just ordinary CSE folks following the rules!*** Look at the daily profit percentages in these reports. WOWWhat can I say? As a group of traders, you are getting the highest most consistent returns of any group on the planet. These are multiple trades per day. Many opened and closed within minutes! Is it possible? Can you trade like this? There is absolutely noI mean no reason that you cant. It is in your hands.

The TTM day trade compared to all other methods of trading there is no comparison regardingthe time involved to enter and exit a profitable trade, time required to watch the charts and time to managethere is no other way but with TTM trades especially in this volatile market.

More to follow in the coming weeks Mahalo, Naomi -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed On TTM trades I only go the direction on M1 and the ACV rule. I look at a chart based on 1:30time frame. I look for rolls off the new consecutive lows. I then look for momentum past the 50% retracement or shallow rolls going right back North. What is his reasoning for looking at the chart at 1:30time frame? When he looks for rolls off new consecutive lows how is he doing this on TTM? I can understand how on Momentum but not TTM's because the chart is not updated that quickly. Sorry to ask so many questions but I really want to learn this. Today I was able to virtually trade IWM 6 times for gains of 5.7%, 4.9%, 7.1%, 1.4%, 7.3% and one lose of 1.9% but want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Ed, The more I do TTM's the bigger my smile gets and the more excited I get. Just made two more trades for returns of 6.86% and 5.15%. Open and closed in 30 and 11 minutes. My only comment to you is GENIUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what comes to mind when I think about you and your system. When you preach how simple the system is and just follow the rules, what you are preaching becomes clearer by the day.

Ed, Thanks again for taking the time to talk to me last Saturday. It gaveme the confidence to do TTM with actual money this week. I got my 3%target over the two days, but it was a learning experience. All tradeswere on xxx.2/13 xxx Mar12 62 Call BTO $1.86 - 17 contractsLater, as price fell, did several put trades2/13 xxx Mar12 64 Put BTO $1.96 2/13 xxx Mar12 64 Put STC $1.99 +1.5% in 9 minutes2/13 xxx Mar12 64 Put BTO $2.03 2/13 xxx Mar12 64 Put STC $2.07 +2% in 15 minutesThe next trade I wasn't paying attention and paid the price2/13 xxx Mar12 64 Put BTO $2.012/13 xxx Mar12 64 Put STC $1.88 -6.5% in 15 minutesShortly after closing this trade, made an additional call purchase2/13 xxx Mar12 62 Call BTO $1.85 - 15 contracts 11:55 amKept close watch through Tuesday and the tick went up and down, butheld off any additional trades. Had a target price for getting out,and did so shortly before the close:2/14 xxx Mar12 62 Call STC $1.98 - 32 contracts 3:56 pmThe target was to make 3% per day on initial purchase. After fees andcommissions, the return was 6.9% for the two days.The key lesson learned was to pay closer attention. Things move fast,and my inattention made management more difficult then it had to be.I intend to get back into it on Wednesday, a bit wiser and with a bitmore cash in hand. Any critique that you have would be welcome. Todd -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23.95 % Best Regards, Sean

2/13/2012 5:31:59 AM CST Dear Joseph, We had another good week with the CIC (conservative iron condor). Greg closed his out on Monday morning for 5.0% gain and I closed mine in three steps on Monday for an average of gain of 5.5%. We will be looking to trade xxx as a weekly this week as well as other possibilities. Remember that xxx is only a monthly this week and has the strange settlement. We did open a new CIC trade Friday centered at 1,345 and will look to exit for gains earlier rather than later this week. My observations for the week ahead for xxx & xxx are listed below. As always, we will look for other opportunities too. 1) Straight line/channeling charting thoughts. a) long term chart shows tick dropped below the support of the two month channel last week again then came back up within the channel. It looks like it is low in a continuing upward channel. Pre-market for xxx is up $8.50 this morning as of 6:42 am EST. b) Conservative short term cycle for xxx & xxx:

i)

high ending $1,380 (xxx 623). The trend looks like it has stayed in a rising channel, but may be in the process of changing. I would not want to be less than $1,385 (xxx 630) and may go higher once the market opens very strong. Gregs minimum strike is also at $1,390 (xxx 630). We will reassess after the market opens. low ending is 1,345.

ii)

52

02/17/2012

iii) The tick was up again last week then came back down Friday due the possible Greece road block. iv) Support levels at 1,340, 1,330, and 1,300 (xxx 602, 590, 583). Resistance levels at 1,355 and 1,445 (xxx 612, 650). There are wide gaps between these levels with lots of room to move once crossing a level. 2) xxx came back up last week to 20.80. 2) xxx Advanced Charting thoughts: a) chart 1: tick is back down to M1 Friday. We will see if it goes through or bounces off M1 and back up this week. However, there is a still lot of upward momentum. We got another green arrow last week, which usually means a downward correction coming up sometime in the near future (look at past red arrows). b) M1 is up and above M2, M3 and M4, stacked up. c) Lower indicator 1: med/high and is slightly down, red is just below blue. Blue is flat. d) Lower indicator 6: high and slightly down with red at blue. Blue is flat. e) Lower indicator 7: high, red is down and just above blue. Blue is slightly up. f) Lower indicator 8: high range and 2 red candles. g) The lower indicators are in the high range, but can go slightly higher and also stay up here a while. h) Chart 2: lots of upward momentum with the upper BB off the scale. 3) Upcoming announcements (a few could be market movers this week): Date 2/14/2012 8:30 2/14/2012 8:30 2/14/2012 8:30 2/14/2012 8:30 2/14/2012 10:00 2/15/2012 14:00 2/15/2012 7:00 2/15/2012 8:30 2/15/2012 9:00 2/15/2012 9:15 2/15/2012 9:15 2/15/2012 10:00 2/15/2012 10:30 2/16/2012 8:30 Release For Retail Sales Jan Retail Sales ex-auto Jan Export Prices ex-ag.

Dear Keith: Filled at 6.00 my initial holder.. Got in for much less than you guys did.. 7.50 on Friday. Roy

Roy, 5% is still nothing to sneeze at for a conservative weekly return!!! Keith

Dear Roy: Only 5.3% gain. You should be ashamed!!! The reason I love this is because you don't have to be exactly sitting there when the trades come out. You may give up a bit on the front side, or you may get a bit more. Congratulations. Greg

Dear Keith: Same here! All my remaining positions filled at $6.10 for a 7% gain. You guys are good! Brad

Brad, 7% in one day is truly amazing for a conservative approach. All weeks are not necessarily like this, but we will take them when they come. Keith

Dear Keith: Wow, now I see why you changed to 7%. One account out of my four already filled at the 5% GTC I put in last Friday, and another account had a partial fill before I could get them changed to 7%. Amazing! This is a freakin' money machine. PTL! Brad

2/10/2012 10:28:47 AM CST Dear Joseph, The market gapped down this morning and is now trying to come back. We will be opening a new CIC (conservative Iron Condor) between 12:00 and 1:00 EST today. I would like to see how far the market is going to come back prior to opening it. The Virtual Daily CIC we opened yesterday centered at 1355 was down 6.9% at last check. I would be inclined to let it ride until Monday and not open a new trade today if we were trading these daily. Greg and I think the tick is very likely to bounce off M1 and come right back into our target area by Monday. I will track it that way and report on the Webinar next Tuesday. In the mean time we will open the CIC today with real money as I stated above. Keith

Debbie, It is my understanding that this "On-Line" attendance will qualify me for Joe's special offer to the "Bundle Pricing For Advanced Charting Forex Platinum" even though I am not physically there.. Is that correct? Bob

Dear Bob: Thanks for getting back. Yes, your attending online qualifies you for the "Bundle Pricing For Advanced Charting Forex Platinum". Hope this helps, if not, let's try again. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

2/13/2012 4:28:22 AM CST Dear Aaron, CSE Covered Call Platinum Selection Service update Feb 10, 2012: The markets continued the recent pattern today. The DOW opened lower by about 50 points, then cycled lower to the low of the day just before 10:20. It then went into a slight rise and horizontal until after 1:00 pm. It then declined again before rising into the close to finish near the highs of the day. The DOW closed lower by 89 points and the NDX lower by 16 points. The Greece debt situation is clearly driving the markets now. The expectations for the Greece debt restructure process were not met today again. This is a market driven

64

02/17/2012

solely on the interpretation of the last minutes news. After market trading indicates a slightly higher to even open on Monday with GLD trading slightly higher as well. It seems to be waiting for the next headline to hit this weekend. However, a lot can happen over the weekend with the European situation and other world economies. Futures are trading about even this evening. Expect Monday to be another volatile day. Earnings Season continues and Monday will have earnings announcements from many companies. Tuesday morning before the market opens will have announcements from xxxx and xx among others. Today I watched the markets all day for potential or required management moves. I also watched xxx and xxx for TSS entry points. xxx traded lower all day and I exited on a low and then completed two more TSS round trips. If I were not able to be in the market, the CSE buy back rules would say to still be in the TSS since a V has not formed on the 52-week chart. I will be watching Monday to see which way the trading goes. xxx opened the day in the negative as well. After hitting a low just after 10:00 am, it climbed to the high of the day just after 11:00 am. Then it went into a declining cycle all the way into the close. I closed the TSS I was in from Thursday after the low, then entered another TSS after it hit the high and began its declining cycle. I am still in that TSS as the cycle declined the rest of the day. The xxx fast cash position declined today and was not in a good position to Rollout nor was it in a troubled position either. I let that Feb 10 $34 calls expire. I will look for a better entry point for another Weekly Fast Cash position on Monday. The xxx Fast Cash position with the Feb monthly call pulled back a little. The 20 Cent Rule is still OK so I did nothing on that position. I did enter a management move on the xxx TSS for Defense position. I closed the TSS on a low to lock in a profit of $1.15 to be applied against the $2.94 temporary loss realized from the weekly fast cash close. I then sent out an alert stating that I would manage half of the positions as a regular TSS and the other half with a modified TSS for Defense management process. Therefore, I will STO the May 12 $165 calls again on 2 contracts for a higher premium than the $8.00 I closed on Friday. The other 2 contracts I STO the Feb 17 (wk3) $168 call as a Weekly Fast Cash position. This generated another $1.15 in premium to be applied against the temporary loss. That leaves only 64 cents left to make back. I will monitor this position with the 20 Cent Rule until expiration on Friday. If the 20 Cent Rule falls below 21 cents, I will implement another TSS for Defense, but this one will be at the higher $168 strike which works closer to the original $175 strike. I will continue this process until the temporary loss is returned and the position is left without a call against it. Then I will begin the normal management process again.

65

02/17/2012

This modified TSS management process is possible on the xxx position due to the large weekly premiums that are available. It will not work on every TSS for Defense position. By using each of these two management processes you will be able to follow both as I perform the trades as well as learn one that may be new to you. I did continue charting the Screener positions today in search of new positions for the Platinum Portfolio. The results are included in the last section of this update. Today was a down day with DOW and NDX both trading negative all day. Therefore, the new position entry rule of a down market moment would have been met at times today. The $100K Platinum Portfolio earnings summary is as follows: Premiums earned for February option month = $2034 (month of Feb to date) Current funds invested = $88,944 Capital available to invest = $23,900 Reserve Capital for management moves = $10,000. My Platinum Portfolio Update: Todays activity (Feb 10) Completed numerous TSS entry and exits today with the xxx and xxx positions. First, as xxx made the morning low and then a V into a rising cycle, I closed the xxx TSS as follows: BTC xxx Jan 13 $28 calls @ $10.70 This resulted in a profit of $1.05 per share for one day as xxx cycles fairly quickly. Then xxx hit a high (ended up as the daily high) and made the inverted V to go into a declining cycle, I re-entered the TSS as follows: STO xxx Jan 13 $28 calls @ $11.00 I then entered a GTC close order as follows: BTC xxx Jan 13 $28 calls @ $10.70 GTC This is a GTC order that will stay in place until I change it. I will adjust the closing premium as the chart dictates. If there is a V on the chart Monday, I will raise the premium to close. If the pre-market is down, I will lower the closing premium before the market opens to stay ahead of the chart dropping and then close when a new rising cycle is evident. I also closed the TSS on xxx as follows: BTC xxx Jan 13 $40 calls @ $17.80 This resulted in a profit of $0.95 for a day. I locked in the profit on a low for the morning and then waited for another inverted V to re-enter the TSS as follows:

66

02/17/2012

STO xxx Jan 13 $40 calls @ $18.10 xxx was trading around $55.80 at the time of entry. This new entry was 30 cents per share higher than the previous close. I then watched the charts to close the position for a profit at the following: BTC xxx Jan 13 $40 calls @ $17.75 GTC I watched the charts for a V and adjusted the premium to that level. This locked in another profit of 35 cents per share for the day. I then continued to watch the charts for another inverted V after a rising cycle. I entered another TSS as follows: STO xxx TSS Jan 13 $40 calls @ $18.15 I watched for the end of the rising cycle as xxx rose past the previous high of $55.95. It made an inverted V so I entered the TSS. I then continued to watch the charts for a V after this declining cycle. I adjusted the closing premium when a V formed after the declining cycle. It closed as follows: BTC xxx TSS Jan 13 $40 calls @ $17.95 This close resulted in another 20 cents per share for the day. I then watched the charts as xxx continued in a rising cycle into the close. Since it continued to rise I did not enter another TSS. I will watch the open on Monday to look for another TSS entry. Today xxx had a lot of volatility with 3 major declining and then rising cycles which allowed the multiple TSS transactions. If I had not been watching the daily charts I would have still been in the TSS as traded lower for the day. I would close the TSS on the next V created on the 52-week chart. I also managed my TSS for Defense positions on xxx. xxx rose at the open and reached a high. It then cycled down and then rose into a new high. I watched it decline into another low and make a V. I then adjusted my current BTC order to close the TSS positions as follows: BTC xxx May 12 $165 calls @ $8.00 This resulted in a profit of $1.15 per share. This amount is applied to reduce the temporary loss realized when the original weekly fast cash was closed ($2.94). That reduced the temporary loss to $1.79. Now I wanted to show how to manage this TSS for Defense in two different ways so with half of the xxx calls I entered the following order: STO xxx Feb 12 (monthly) $168 calls @ $1.15 This is a weekly fast cash position that will expire at the end of the Feb 12 options month. This premium will be applied to the remaining temporary loss to lower it to 64 cents per share. I will monitor the position with the 20 Cent Rule until expiration Friday. If the rule is below 21 cents, I will enter another TSS for Defense at this higher strike ($168) and then

67

02/17/2012

continue the management process until the temporary losses are earned back. The other half of the positions will be managed as a TSS. I will watch the xxx charts to find another inverted V at the top of a rising cycle to enter the same May 12 $165 calls at a higher premium than the $8.00 premium where I closed the first TSS. I will continue to reduce the temporary loss (now $1.79 on these calls) until all of the loss is covered. I expect that Monday will be a volatile day as the Greek Debt restructure plans as studied. I will be watching all of the positions closely for profit potentials. I also will be watching the current management positions for any profit potential entries or required actions. I will continue searching for new positions on Monday to enter for the Platinum Portfolio. There is still capital available for a new position entry. I am searching the CSE Covered Call Screener for new positions as well that meet the Platinum Selection criteria. Current Positions Status: xxx -(Original position 200 shares at $64.66 basis) Open position. Friday closed at $55.67. I will look for the next true inverted V for an entry. xx - (Original position 400 shares at $16.21) Jays Fast Cash at Feb 12 $11 strike. Friday closed at $10.29. I am Monitoring this position with the 20 Cent Rule = OK. xxx - (Original position 200 shares at $62.78) TSS at Jan 13 $28 calls. Friday close was at $35.77. I will watch for the next V to exit the TSS. xxx (2 contracts of RSC with a synthetic stock price of $83.80).In a TSS for Defense position at May 12 $81 calls with a $4.94 basis. Need BTC at $3.40. Friday closed at $81.72. I Have a BTC GTC order in at $3.40. Current Ask premium is $4.38. Now I am splitting the xxx positions back into 2 separate positions. One is managed as a TSS and the other managed with a modified process. xxx (2 contracts of RSC with Jun 12 $100 calls).TSS for Defense at May 12 $165 calls being managed as a TSS. Closed the TSS today and will watch the charts for an inverted V at a higher premium than the $8.00 closing value. The profit now required to clear the temporary loss is $1.79. I will continue to manage the position as a TSS until this value is earned. xxx closed Friday at $167.14. The other half of the calls is now as follows: xxx (2 contracts of RSC with Jun 12 $100 calls). Weekly Fast Cash position at Feb 12 $168. xxx closed Friday at $167.14. I will monitor it with the 20 Cent Rule until expiration. 20 Cent Rule = OK.

68

02/17/2012

xxx (3 contracts of RSC with Apr 12 $21 calls).Weekly Fast Cash position at Feb 10 (wk2) $34 calls expired. Friday xxx closed at $32.51. I will look next week for another Weekly Fast Cash entry point. xxx (2 contracts of RSC with Jun 12 $20 calls). Monthly Fast Cash at Feb 12 $43. Friday closed at $42.92. I will now monitor with the 20 Cent Rule daily = 73 cents = OK. xxxx (RSC 2 contracts of Jul 12 $24). Covered call at Feb 12 $47. Friday close at $47.20. Monday potential market movers include No US market major announcements (all times EST). The Greek debt reduction plan continues to be discussed in Greece. The outcome will move the market one way or the other. Macro economic news with Europe and other World economics along with the US Growth potential continue to move the market. I expect that the European debt crisis will move the markets on Monday with any news. Now the Platinum Portfolio has capital available to invest, so I continue to search for positions that meet the CSE Buying Low Rules. I will then place them in the daily update for paper trading purposes until a position opens up in the Portfolio. I will also provide analysis on the remaining tracking positions. And, I will look for positions that meet the Platinum Portfolio entry rules. I searched the CSE Covered Call Screener for new positions. I charted the list from yesterday as well as new positions from todays screener. They included xxx, xxxx, xxx, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, and xxxx. The results are as follows: xxx, xxxx, and xxx are in declining cycles. xxxx and xxxx are in horizontal channels. Both continued with inverted V near the lower part of the channel. xxxx and xxxx are in rising channels. The tick is at the bottom of the channel but still continuing down. None of these positions meet the CSE Buying Low Rule. I will continue to watch xxxx, xxxx, xxxx for good entry points. The Paper Trade summary for February position is as follows: Current Paper Trades status: (February positions): xxxx (entered at $35.22 and STO Feb 12 $35 @ $1.53). Today closed at $37.00. x (entered at $29.75 & STO Feb 12 $30 @ $1.09). Today closed at $32.93.

Dear Kevin: Thanks for your email and question. The charts in the screener to the left of the position selection are one day old. They are to be used to just generally see the direction of a stock to see if it is worth looking at to see if it is making a V in the lower portion of the chart so you will know to open a position or not. You need to check the real time chart on your trading platform to see the real time position. Hope this helps, if not, let's try again. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Joe, I'm sending you this note concerning the Wed. and Thur. meetings you have scheduled. It takes about an hour and a half from the valley to get there and 2 hours or more to get home afterwards. On the weekends it takes me 20 minutes. The traffic is horrendous on all freeways at that time and the 405 being the worst. I'm retired and make all the meetings , but you can count me out of these . I don't think you'll have many people present for those sessions. You probably don't remember, but we talked at the last masters and on the cruise. If you wish to call me the number is xxxxxxxxxxxx. Sid

Dear Sid: Thanks for your email. Yes, I remember you from the Cruise!! We are having the Seminar in LA mid week because we have had many, many folks request that it be done then. Many that have never attended because they could not attend

on the weekend. We will still have others on the weekend. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Joe, I assume that I am grandfathered so that I can still attend an in person 2 day intensive. I have only attended on-line, but at the older, higher, price. Thanks for a great service. I have re-attended several times. I still learn more each time I attend. Sincerely, Glen

Dear Glen: Yes, you are just fine for attend on line or in person. Thanks for being a client!! Joseph R. Hooper

Hi Ed, Another great week. Thanks Art PA

Return on Max Invested Capital

Greg and Keith, Closed this weeks virtual IC trade today at $2.95 at 12:43 pm. $1.00 premium for 3.33% return. Not bad for 1 days work. Keep up the great job. Regards, John D

Dear Joseph: I have registered for the two-day intensive seminar in LA next week. I'm recovering from hernia surgery and not sure of my stamina. I've workdays to make up as well, but this is important. If you need the space, I don't want anyone denied. So contact me please first before giving my place up. Otherwise, assume I'll be there. Thanks Phil

Dear Phil: Thanks for your note and thanks for signing up for the 2-Day Intensive Seminar in LA. I hope your recovery goes well. We will not be giving your space away in the event recovery is slow and you cannot attend in person, unless you want us to do so. You can attend on line when Aaron and I do the 2-Day Intensive Seminar from Dallas each month. Then you can attend in person again when we come to LA in another few months. You can always attend the Seminars as often as you like either on line or in person for no additional cost. Again, hope recovery goes smoothly and hope to see you soon. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Joseph, Thanks for the reply, and from the CEO! I am quite biased to your last name, BTW. There aren't too many of us, and in our genealogical research have uncovered a pattern of people with business brains around Massachusetts, some of whom have been very successful. One was even known as "King Hooper." Fun stuff. When I attended the morning preview a few months ago in LA, taught I believe by Randy, I got the sense that you have created a strategy you just enjoy sharing with others. I hope you do well financially by teaching, but want to thank you for the spirit with which it is delivered. This is all new to me and I often feel overwhelmed, especially when trying to negotiate though TOS. My time is limited, running our own fund raising, consulting business for major clients. So I learn as I go. Thanks for such an excellent service and presentation. So much work goes in behind the scenes. I learned about CSE Saturday mornings on radio, skeptical at first, but you know how to confirm with results. Simple. Blessings. Phil

Dear Joseph: According to your list of seminars, the LA seminar was March 3 and 4, Saturday and Sunday. I already have my Hotel reservation for Manhattan Beach Marriott for that Weekend. This middle of the week is terrible. Even the next one in August is middle of the week. It is a workweek, the traffic is terrible, and I am so disappointed. You changed all this at the last minute. I am so disappointed. This whole thing is a bust. I have had the "Covered Calls etc book for years and was so hoping to do a seminar. Now what?? Nothing. A very unhappy non-customer. Will

Dear Will: Thanks for your note. Aaron and I will be conducting the Seminar on those dates. What ever your problems are, you are missing out on the most exciting event of your life. Sorry. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Dear Joseph: Hello, my name is dean hall. I registered in December 2011 for the March seminar in Manhattan beach. I was just informed that it was canceled and moved to Feb. on a Wed and Thur. I cant attend those dates. Nor the ones in aug. So I decided to just not attend at all. Online classes dont help either. So im asking for a reimbursement on my payment. I paid for my brother and me to attend and he too would like to cancel. His registration is under xxxxxxxcom and mine is under this email that I am writing from. Both were paid with the same credit card. Thank you Dean

Dear Dean: No problem will have the refund taken care of. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Dear Joseph:

I have a few questions before we go through with the refund. If I cancel the registration and get my refund, and wish to sign up at a later date, will I still be able to get that Holliday special that I got when I first signed up? Or is that just waved off? And second, are there going to be any seminars in the Los Angeles area on a weekend in the near future? Dean

Dear Dean: From your previous email, you decided not to attend. You cannot attend under any circumstances, ever. Thanks, Joseph R Hooper

Joe, I'm still "paper" trading and have executed a PRT to recover cost on a TSS for income because the stock has been on an upward trend for the past two months. I sold a put that will recoup all of my restructure cost. I'm confused about the next step. Do I now BTC the existing January 2013 call? BTW, enjoyed the seminar in Dallas last weekend. Thanks, Greg

81

02/17/2012

Dear Greg: Need a few more details, what was your restructure cost and what was the strike price and premium you received for the put you sold? Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Joseph: The restructure cost is $ .88 and the Put was a March 2012 $26 strike for $1.10. The stock (OSK) is currently selling for $26.29. Thanks! Greg

Dear Gregory; Well, you need to BTC the call to arrive at the restructure cost. It it is still the .88, then your put strike is fine. Thanks, Joseph R. Hooper

Joe, I much appreciate your valuable guidance. Thanks, Gregory

Dear Roy, I am closing my VIRTUAL daily CIC (Conservative Iron Condor) we opened yesterday

centered at 1355 for a loss of 2.5%. This is right at the border line of when I would stay in if I were going to be in for tomorrow anyway. I think the tick is going bounce off M1 and go back up so I would be temped to stay. We can close it now for a debit of 5.40 (40% rule): STC xxx Feb12 1400 Call BTC xxx Feb12 1370 Call STC xxx Feb12 1340 Put BTC xxx Feb12 1310 Put long short short long

Net Debit: $5.40 for a 2.5% loss. I was tracking my virtual trade via Excel in order to get a better estimate of the 40% rule, which is difficult to model in a virtual paper account. You may have to go higher to the Ask price to close it out in a virtual account. Keith

Dear Keith: Should have stayed I just got your email and xxx came back up to 1350 IC up to $2500 on 10 contracts. Thanks, Roy

Hi Ed, It has been a slow week for me. My closed TTM positions for the past week: Call: 2/1 xxx March 12 $72.50 BTO $4.60 - 2/7 STC $5.00 Net 7.4% Nate

Dear Ray and Bill: Could you send out your orders earlier in the day? I try to be available in the morning but usually am away by 11:30 EST; therefore I don't get your messages until the market is closed. I usually try to get filled at the same strike and price the next day, so I will be in sink with you. Is this the right thing to do, or should I use the 5/0 spread at the time of my order, even though I may be hanging out by myself? I better keep a loose noose. I filled xxxx 610 for 4.10 this morning, which was your unfilled order yesterday. I know you will be managing your 605, but I hope you two have taught me enough to keep my neck intact. This is my 2nd month with real money, and I'm very pleased, learning all the time. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Thanks, Dumas

Dear Dumas: We send when they make sense. Thanks, Ray and Bill
