Band of Traders - Together We Trade The Option(al) Experience: Ep. 4: Open Q&A and Reddit Field Trip
In the fourth installment of our dedicated options series featuring Blayne Macauley (Host of the Penny Lane Podcast) and Erik Smolinski (Creator of esInvests), Erik kicks things off by analyzing some trade theses before opening things up for an open Q&A from the group. Afterwards, we wrap things up by taking a trip into the cesspit that is Reddit to find some case studies. Homework for this week is to simply continue developing your primary options strategies.

About Erik:
Erik is a lifelong investor and self-made millionaire looking to share how others can achieve the same. He is hoping to share his experience with active and veteran military members to expose them to opportunities.
He came from a single parent low-income household, worked odd jobs as a kid, and began investing in high school. Erik wasn't going to attend college and planned to enlist in the Marines, but a mentor directed him to apply for a scholarship (which he earned). While he pursued his undergrad, he dug deeper into investing and trading - finding derivatives which he primarily trades. He completed over 6 years of active duty before transitioning to the reserves, earning an MBA during his last year. Erik then spread into real estate and angel investing as his means grew, to accelerate capital growth.
