Risk-free Speculation?

What an oxymoron! Speculation is always associated with high risk, yet here we propose a strategy that is supposed to be free of risk?

To be a banker would bore me. To be an industrialist would stress me. I have been a professional engineer and a futures broker, however... SPECULATOR - that's what I am!

Casino strategy

The aim of these notes is to explain a strategy similar to that adopted by gambling casinos.

Referring to the roulette wheel, the casino doesn't mind paying out $35 whenever a player wins because, on average, it collects 36 times $1 for every one payout.

How would you feel if you won fifteen times $1 for every one payout of $9? Giving 9:1 odds when the true odds are 15:1 against? You would feel like a casino.

That is the nature of risk-free speculation.

A solid understanding of the basics is essential before you can implement the strategy. Do not skip the next few notes, even if you have traded options before.
