Options Hotline

About Options Hotline

Options Hotline is one of the oldest and most successful options advisories available today. 

Legendary author, researcher and options expert Paul Sarnoff created Options Hotline to help everyday investors understand how simple puts and calls could add a nice boost to your wealth. 

Today Options Hotline is managed by Paul’s son, Steve, who was only too happy to follow in his father’s footsteps. At the heart of Options Hotline’s success is a strategy Steve likes to call “Superleverage” — the power to turn relatively small stock moves into big, big profits. 

And over 10 few years, his readers have had a chance to rack up some impressive wins. Recommendations in the first six months of 2009 soared as high as 108%… 144%… 222%… even 284%.

Steve credits his tremendous success to lessons from his father as well as techniques he developed on his own. In fact, Steve pioneered the use of the Japanese candlestick charting technique — an ancient and amazingly accurate style of technical analysis that was virtually unknown to Western traders until just a few decades ago.

Today Steve is considered the foremost expert of candlesticks. Richard Russell, publisher of the Dow Theory Letters, even called Steve “the master of candlesticks.” 

In between his weekly Options Hotline recommendations, Steve runs Samurai Strategies, Inc. based in San Diego, Calif. He has experience on the floor of the Commodity Exchange (Comex) in New York, and once worked as a stock and commodities broker with Dean Witter in La Jolla, Calif. And he has been a guest on the Market Talk radio show and has been quoted in Barron’s.

You can’t find a better source for option recommendations.
