These software reviews are what customers and industry professionals are saying about PowerOptions
"Just wanted to drop a note and say thank you to the PowerOptions crew for pushing safe risk management strategies. I run a few different portfolio strategies and the only one that is in great shape, and even in a profit, is my RPM portfolio. This is by far the best sleep well at night strategy.
You guys have put countless hours into your training and support and you should know that it has helped a lot of people this week.
I thought I was safe selling long dated low delta futures but that blew up this week.
I thought I was safe selling low delta covered strangles and bull put spreads but that blew up this week.
Even buy and hold with covered calls would have lost a good bit the last few weeks.
My largest position was in QQQ and was protected with $500 strike puts. I've been selling calls and ratio call spreads against it for the last month successfully but i wanted out asap after this shakiness. I was able to roll my married puts up to $515 to make more of a profit and then into Tuesday to let my shares get called away asap. What a relief that assignment was. Pretty sure you guys saved me about 30 years of PowerOptions subscription fees.
Now I'm back to cleaning up the rest of my portfolios and hopefully never again having to deal with a mess like this. RPM 4 LIFE :)"

"Mike, thanks so much for answering my questions on Married Put. I had to admit I wasted 10 years time and money on trading Covered Calls and others spread trading. My sister bought the Blueprint 5 years ago and has been very successful. So I am coming back to you for the Blueprint."

"Excellent video. I never thought I would want to marry a put, but this makes so much sense. Combine that with a call backspread, and you have a great dowry. Now we are talking retirement. Till death do us part."

Your sentiment indicator has been spot on this week so far, and in line with my experience of market extremes. Love the real-time Put/Call ratio, etc. too. Great job. Been looking for that for a long time.
I plan to subscribe to your site next week, after my trial period ends. You guys truly know what you're doing. A lot of people appreciate all of your hard work putting this together."

"[PowerOptions] is a complex, deep, fully featured and built-out site, in my view...Everytime I think of a feature that would be nice to have on PowerOptions, it seems like I find it the next time I'm exploring the interface...Also, the one-on-one coaching, wow I do like this feature. Overall you've just created an awesome product here. I can figure it out, and hopefully as I learn more, use it to good effect to maximize my returns and limit risk. Thanks for creating this. I've been looking for something like PowerOptions for a long time."

"I have used several option services in the last few years including BornToSell... I've been writing covered calls for years to pump up my income on the stocks I own... After discovering PowerOptions, it has become so obvious to me that there is a better solution... PowerOptions tools are the best I have ever used, bar none... Just the idea of downside protection and the RadioActive scenarios is a God send... I am so enjoying getting my portfolio into a "safe zone"..."

"I second the recommendation of PowerOptions... I was looking for a 15% annualized return... PowerOptions quickly identifies the 15% plus options, and allows me to roughly screen out the worst stocks, so that I now have to examine maybe 5 stock-options for every one I invest in. That represents a considerable saving of time. And I have just begun to exploit the features of PowerOptions. It does cost $60 per month, but it's been worth it. And that is an unsolicited testimonial; I have no association with PowerOptions."

"Got the new Iron Condor book yesterday and read it cover to cover. I love the book. I got a lot from reading the finesse issues of how you trade the IC's in your Tradefolios, and that gave me confidence for investing with your methods. My favorite piece is Fig. 4.2 which is insightful and reflects the real world of trading. Many thanks for writing the book - it should help a lot of people."

"This [webinar] series has been very eye-popping on what I've been missing all these years of using PowerOptions on and off. Now with knowing more about the Portfolio feature, I'll be able to track my open investments a lot easier. Also your showing more of the 'more' feature allows me to follow information on possible picks a lot easier without having to have a lot of sites open for that information. There was so much more in your presentation that was valuable as well. Have a great year-end and Thank You...and Ernie for giving us such great tools and information."

"A few hours have passed since my "coaching session" with Mike, and upon review of the information that he imparted to me, I can honestly say, that it was "time well spent". Mike not only has complete knowledge of the product he represents, he also has a wonderful ability to pass on his knowledge, with great clarity and understanding. As a recently retired executive of a major Canadian company, I appreciated "good people" like Mike in my company and in others. Ernie--you have a "keeper", these unique individuals are hard to find--good for you!"

"I wanted to give you feedback as a Covered Call investor. This site is wonderful. It is what I was looking for when I found it. Other data sites seem to make decisions that were not a part of my investment strategy and limited the number of stocks. Your site allows me to decide what is important to me. I'm teaching other friends and associates about covered calls and your site is my recommendation for their decision making."

"I just want to say your site is great! When I need help someone is there to talk me through it and make me aware of what I have done or need to do, or just give me info that I need for the moment. I am learning new options about your site each month I play on it."

I look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."

"First I want to thank you for providing such a great service. Also, over the past two years, you have implemented EVERY suggestion I have given you. I just can not believe that you have really done all the things I ask for including: Collars, Covered Leaps, Over/Under moving averages It is just incredible."
