Something fascinating happens in the options market when most traders aren't paying attention… While everyone else collects standard daily premiums Monday through Friday... There's a special opportunity to target TRIPLE premiums just for holding positions over the weekend. Think about that... Most traders get one day's worth of premium for their trades. But by entering right before the weekend, when everything works out, you could collect THREE days worth - even though markets are closed for two of them. Thanks to a special discovery by a Wall Street legend who helped manage a $1.7 trillion firm – regular folks like you can now target extra cash from the markets on weekends… Just like he showed his small group of traders on December 20th with KO... A quick 2-minute setup Friday afternoon… Head out for the weekend... Monday morning? An extra $1,111 sitting in the account (with a $5k starting stake).
