Announcing the Great Phil’s World Book Project!

Thanks to Jared and Options Sage we are now about to embark on a grand and experimental adventure aimed at writing the best options guide ever!

Sage has written a great guidebook already and our idea is to take this to a whole new level by adding specific trades that we make throughout the year as example and incorporating ideas and advice and true stories from our members who, as any comment reader knows, are some of the sharpest traders you’re likely to come across.

We want to make something that is engaging, exciting and (if we have any room left) useful – much like I kind of hope this column is on at least a once-in-a-while basis! 

This is a very exciting project and is likely to be the first of many and we are looking for your advice on how to make everything as useful as possible.  Let’s keep in mind this is book 1 and will be more of an overview so we’re looking to make sure we cover the basic strategies but feel free to make ANY (don’t hold back) comments and suggestions under the appropriate chapter in the new  education section.  If you read a chapter and have an experience you would like to share – feel free to leave a "confessional" which we will feel free to include in the book!

We will do our best to give proper credit to everyone involved and hopefully we will all be able to point our friends to a best seller list and say – "Yeah, we wrote that!

You guys will be there for all the editing and rewriting as we move this book through the process and I want to make is a nice communal effort as I know that many of you have a lot to say and a lot of really great advice for new investors.

Needless to say that the book is (until published) for members only, especially the new one.  We will be allowing non-members to purchase the version you have access to now and we will be setting up a regular educational component where OptionsSage will be dispensing weekly advice and we will try to select a trade to make that highlights a trading strategy each Monday and follow it throughout the week.

We have also added a tab called "Intraday", where you can view all the portfolo moves as well as a section for "Links" and the soon to be available "Book Club" where we can all help each other by sharing our own favorites.

Zman's

Last but certainly not least, we now have a tab for Zman, which will take you right to the Energy Brain section of our site!

I want to thank all the original members for being here as we got the site launched, it’s been a wild couple of months and it’s going to be an entire crazy year – we have big plans and I am very, very happy with the group we have assembled so far.  If it’s going to be a rocky year in the markets, we’re going to need all the best and brightest to get through it and, if the market’s take off, we’ll be able to party together like it’s 1999, hopefully without the subsequent crash and 3 year hangover!

By the way, we’re going to be letting another group of new people in on the first – this month went well as limiting new entrants gave us a pretty smooth transition and I think it’s also been better for the new people, who have an easier time getting their questions answered as they get oriented.  We are still doing the referral program but I’m a lot less worried now than I was about the integration process.  If you do have someone in mind, we can let them skip the wait list as long as it’s not too many people in one period.

Looking forward to a great 2007!

PS – in a shameless attempt to increase our web status we need help with two things:

Thing one (and this is useful to you) subscribe to Email delivery through Feedburner.  This builds our relationship with them, and lets you know when a new post goes up (albeit only on the free site so this one won’t even be there).  It doesn’t give you comments but it sure beats checking on the weekend to figure out when they heck I’m ever going to post the wrap-up!  Thanks for your help on this.

Thing two (purely to help me) is to see if we can get our free site( http://www.philstockworld.com/ ) linked to as many other web sites as possible.  This improves our Technorati ranking which is the key to all sorts of good things in life on the web!  So, whenever, you get a chance, try to drop our name on other sites you vist, hopefully it will catch on!  We are still several million readers behind TheStreet.com and it’s time we turned that around!

Oops, Thing 2.5 – if you are a Digg member, please give us a dig when you like the article, this is great free advertising plus Digg is a totally cool site in its own right!

Thanks! 

– Phil
