On May 23rd, I opened up 3 trades that cost just $0.85 a share. Now, we used options so you're buying 100 of them for $85... but still, $85 to get access to both Google and Apple at the same time is pretty remarkable. Here's what happened... we ended up profiting 117% total even though two of the trades didn't work! We only need to win 1 out of 3 to be profitable. I'll share exactly how to do this.
