Testimonials

What can we say? Everyone likes a good ol' fashioned testimonial from time to time. We're not much for bragging, but we thought you'd like to know what others think about Option Planet before you go. Now let's get ready for a little testifyin'!

Hello, Everyone:

Just to let you know that it was another day very, very well spent attending another great workshop by another great instructor of your great Organization! Steve was very knowledgeable, patient and clear in his presentation. How he was able to squeeze so much quality material into such a short time is way beyond our intelligence. We had only hope that the afternoon session was a little bit longer so we get to see more of the neat stuff that keep sprouting from this unique platform! Wishing everyone at ThinkorSwim, RedOption and Option Planets continued success in all your endeavors!

Best regards,
Joseph


The session "Beyond the Basics" in West Palm Beach last week was excellent. I'd give it a straight 10 out of 10. I'm looking forward to future seminars. Thanks for inviting me.

All the best,
-Herbert


I just wanted to let you know, I thought the Beyond the Basics training session in Phoenix was terrific! I learned a lot -- it was incredibly helpful and cleared up many questions and confusion I had. Don was especially good at making things clear, giving you the reasons why and how things work, and explaining the best way to do things. It was just really great!! I hope you guys are out here again soon!

To whom it may concern,

I want to thank you for the great workshop that you gave us in Newport Beach, California last month. I learned a good deal of information that will give me more confidence to try more complex trades. Thank you for providing these workshops to us. I truly appreciate the information that you are giving us and I look forward to taking more classes to gain more knowledge on how I can become a better trader.

Thank You!
-Mike


JJ,

Thanks for an outstanding program today in Charlotte. It was a great presentation on vertical spreads, option probability and a number of other key options trading concepts. You also covered several functions that I had not discovered on the TOS platform that I'm sure will aid in my trade analysis, execution and management. I'm looking forward to the next program here in November and continuing to grow in my trading skills and success with TOS.

I recently attended two of your educational meetings in Plano (Dallas), and they were excellent. Best I have been to, and I have been to a lot of seminars by numerous groups over the last several years. Maybe they were good because the guys were not trying to sell something!!!

Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your help. JJ and Don are very knowledgeable and very good instructors. Please send them back ASAP. I didn't get it all the first time!

Hello folks,

I just wanted to thank you for allowing JJ to come out and present a special class for our trading group on Friday evening, and for the additional Options class on Saturday.

He did a great job responding to all the questions that we sent in for the Friday evening session and I found it very helpful to hear some of the information reinforced on Saturday….. I am looking forward to the more advanced class in August.

Thank you,
Vicki


The seminar was very good and learned a lot. Both Don and JJ did a excellent job, gave us a lot to think about and a lot of good trading do's and don'ts. Hope to put it all to good use so I can remain a prosperous client per your business plan.

Thank you for making this all possible.

Hi,

I have now attended 'Options 101' and 'Beyond the Basics'. Awesome stuff, went far beyond my expectations. Kudos to the great lecturers, Don and Joe! Fun and practical, and zero BS….. Well done, look forward to the next course - in San Diego, very soon!

Bo


Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Just can't thank enough for bringing Steve to train us here in Hong Kong the TOS Way.

This is a truly remarkable education experiences. None of us (those that I spoke with) has any option training quite like this. With his experiences, knowledge and interest in his students, Steve has shown us the option world under a different construct (as far as us retail trader) and new light. He opened my eyes. I am starting to see... All the best.

cheers,

Thank you Joe (JJ) Kinahan for the wonderful Options Basis Class this last Thursday in Kansas City, MO. You provided new insight into the Market Makers world on the floor and how things are done. Thanks for the introduction of Probabilities and some homework for me to do. I will continue to study the Vertical spreads and practice.

I look forward to the next class in October. Several of the members of our Investment Club were there and I know we will be bragging about your program this next Monday.

Take care,
Philip


I attended the Basic course in Burlingame on 10-28-06 and the Beyond course in Sacramento on 11-6-06.

Both were absolutely tremendous. Don Kaufman is a master in delivering vast amounts of information in a short time in a very understandable way!

Thanks for making this available to us.

To Whom It May Concern,

I would just like to let you know that Joe Kinahan was great here in DC. I learned a lot and he was patient and answered a lot of questions during the day. I look forward to attending the 2 classes here in DC in late Aug and just wanted you to know that you all are great and please keep up the good work!

Thanks,
Joe


Just a quick note to thank and applaud you for one of the most informative and entertaining trading workshops I have ever attended, and as a member of the Denver Trading Group I have attended more workshops than any psychologically healthy individual should ever contemplate.

If JJ's market timing is anywhere near as good as his comic timing, he must be a multi-millionaire. He converted what can be tediously dull information into a fast-paced, frequently hilarious learning experience, then followed it up with a mind-blowing demonstration of your superb software. He also challenged us (at least me) to really dig in and learn the software features and how they relate to successful options trading. Can't think how I could have better used my time, yesterday.

Thanks again for a great experience on many levels, and send JJ our way at least once a month.

Don

Thanks for all the great IRA information this morning and the trading platform knowledge you shared this afternoon. I appreciate the effort it must have taken to fit Seattle in on a Saturday. You were great at answering my naive questions that the class listened to so intensely…. Good job, You are appreciated.

I've just spent the past couple of days with Steve Rashis in Singapore, learning about options trading.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for letting him come to Singapore to teach us about the options business. Steve is a great lecturer (tho' he modestly denies this) and has given us a completely fresh and challenging view of options trading and position management. He challenges us to think about our objectives, and to consider the various ways these objectives can be achieved with alternative strategies - along with their pros and cons. I've never attended a more interesting series of workshops on options.

I have one more day with Steve tomorrow and am really looking forwards to it.

Thanks and best regards,
Cecil


… It was incredible. Tom and Steve did a great job. It is rare to receive training from individuals of such expertise that are down to earth, willing, and capable, of sharing their knowledge. Much to absorb and study.

I am still amazed at now much quality trading knowledge you are presenting to your customers. It is unparalleled, as I am sure you know. The quality, professionalism, and availability of all your staff is very refreshing in an industry where marketing hype and mis-information abound. From what I have seen in these short few weeks, it appears you truly want your customers to succeed.

You have one very satisfied customer here and I have not even placed one trade with you yet!

Thanks again,
Sheldon


Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the options seminar this past Sunday.

Just to provide you with some feedback, it was an excellent presentation. Don did a fantastic job -I saw him at the Palm Beach money show last week, and I was hooked! I heard of Think or Swim before, but never really paid much attention -he got my attention.

He does a tremendous job of presenting a complex subject, and I look forward to attending more seminars in the future. This is a priceless service you provide for your customers. Thanks again.

Richard


JJ provided a wonderful presentation to the Houston group today. Although I am quite new to Options trading, I am dedicated to investing and furthering my education in options trading. I learned a lot from JJ today. His experience in the pits provided some valuable insights to the inner workings of the market to which few of us are ever privy.

Thanks again for sending JJ to Houston…

Regards,
Kim


The beyond the basics class yesterday was incredible.

Don and JJ were both outstanding in explaining the greeks, when to get in and out of trades, what strategy to use for high/low volatility and showing us all the cool features of the TOS platform.

I swear that was the fastest 8 hours.

Thanks again
John
