Economic Meltdown Does Not Affect Us

Ask anyone, and they will tell you we are in trouble. This is not some fairy tale, it is cold hard reality. The long range implications of the House shutdown of the intended 700 billion band aid looks fairly bleak right now, and it does not appear that any of the secondary fixes that the Feds are offering the banking industry will have any major affect on the ongoing crisis.

However, we are NOT worried. Why not? Very simple. We are not affected by any of this, except in a very minor way. We have to pay more for gas and food and most everything else just like the rest of the population does. The key to our independence is our method of generating cash.

We are futures traders, specifically futures option traders, and we know our business very well.
It took us several years to get this good, but we have distilled all that we know into a concise, no stone unturned e-book that can literally change your life.

You have probably seen all the websites offering you retirement in 30 days or less, or more riches than they have in Fort Knox just for signing up for their $77.00 a month program. We have seen these too, and all we can say now is too bad. Too bad for these poor misguided affiliates trying to promote something that probably won't work.

We know that America thinks of futures traders as gamblers at best, and swindlers at worst, yet we trade the very markets that they participate in as consumers every day. In fact, we make a good percentage of our annual profits trading things like soybeans and wheat. It's not that hard to do, because many of the markets exhibit strong seasonal tendencies in one direction or the other, and we capitalize on these with our option trades.

We are not expecting to make a million with our e-book. That is not why we wrote it. We are looking for a few people who think outside the circle, and can see the great potential that futures option trading has, and just take a small chance - we offer a full 60 day no questions asked refund policy. We want to help you get into profit as soon as possible, but you have to start somewhere or you will never get anywhere.

Next time, we will talk about what we were going to talk about this time - money management.

PS. Our e-book is available HERE

Conquering The World One Option At A Time

We left you last time with our story about spreadsheets, trees, and option trades. At this point, we are several months further along, and we are pleased to report some rather astonishing results.

We trade several markets, but our favorite markets are Natural Gas, Soybean Meal, and Coffee.
We won't go into the reasons for this now, but we will say that we had a particularly good year this year trading all of our favorites, as well as a few that were new for us this time around.

We can't reveal our methodology here, or our e-book would never sell another copy. We tell all in that e-book, and we have had excellent success with it so far. You can actually get your copy from our website, located at HomeMoneyWork.com.

But enough of this self congratulation. We know that many of the Internet marketers out there already have purchased countless e-books that gave them part of the story, but never enough to make a living with, and certainly not enough to retire on in a few weeks. We know, because we are just like most of you, and we have a collection of marginally worthless e-books several megabytes wide clogging one of our hard drives.

That is why we went back to the one business that we know best. We are now in just a few online programs, and of those, we like Infinity800 and MessageMagic best, because they do not require you to bring in any other people, although it does help.

And with MessageMagic, you can make some good money fairly quickly. It's not as fast as trading futures options can be, but it is real fast by Internet standards. Like I said before, if that program had been around when we were trying to raise a new trading fund, we would have been able to move into the big leagues as far as income goes much sooner.

Next time, we will give you some idea of what we do to manage our money, and may give you some additional nuggets of info on our main line business.

The Next Step

Last time, we left you with our story as far as the spreadsheet phase. We were looking for a way to get started trading again, and not having much luck.

Since we were far from any town of any size, getting a job was out of the question. So we looked around, and decided to give up a few of the trees on the north side of our 80 acres. We had been advised to thin part of the forest on that side, so we called a guy we knew and he came up to survey the trees.

We agreed on a date, and a price, and a few weeks later we had enough to start a very small trading account. We checked our longer term charts, and purchased two options. We won't tell you which markets we traded, but we can say that we quadrupled our money with those trades, and that set us up for success later on.

It's funny how timing never quite works out. By this I mean that every time we start a project, the stuff we need for it just went off sale. In trading, we regularly miss opportunities when we are involved in various home improvement projects made possible by our new trading activities.

It also applies to programs that come along after you need them. A good example of that is a new program that just started about three weeks ago. It's called MessageMagic
and it offers a very unique way to make some very good money. If we had that program a few months earlier, we could have gotten started trading much sooner.

Anyway, that's our new start in trading. Next time, we will tell you about how we plan to conquer the world, one option trade at a time.

Another Way To Get Rich




Yes, we have seen it all. The one up, two up, three up programs, the 2X3 matrix, the 2X10 matrix, the guaranteed spillover, and everything else the online gurus have thrown at us. Each one of them promises riches beyond belief, and not one of them delivers exactly as described. We know, because we started our online marketing journey in early 2003, and never made enough to live on during that whole time.

In fairness to the online "opportunities", I must say that at least some of the blame can be placed squarely on my shoulders. I will admit, for example, that I never mastered the art of taking worthless leads, many of whom did not even speak English, and turning them into paying customers.

We have recently had some limited success with one program that actually has some merit. Although that is not what this post is about, I will tell you which program I find useful. It is called Best Free Home Jobs. This program is operated by a lady who really has her customer's best interest at heart. Take a look if you are looking for no hype, and all good advice.

Back on track, we wanted to let our readers know a bit more about how we avoided all of those online landmines and made a dash for safer ground. We had good success trading futures the usual way until I made a rather nasty mistake one day. Without getting into the gory details, I will just say that I wiped out a $72,000.00 trading account in ten minutes.

However, this was not as much of a problem as our reliance on online opportunities was right after that happened. We tried a few things, and although we worked them, we never made much money. We had no trading fund left, so we limped along trying one thing after another until we ran out of limping room.

At this point, we decided to change direction, and work on a new way to do what we had been doing before we crashed and burned. I had been a software developer prior to moving to Washington, but found that market had pretty much dried up when I went looking from Washington.

So I broke out my old Excel Program, and started making spreadsheets. After a few rather pointless efforts, I came up with a winner. This spreadsheet allowed me to trade futures in an entirely different way, using futures options. I had some real life data from my prior trading, and I plugged that into my spreadsheet, and built a model that looked pretty darn good.


Next time, we will tell you what we did to get started again.

The Other Online Home Business


Who says you have to struggle to make an income online? If you look at all the web offers made, you should know that making money online is really very easy. The only problem we have found with 99% of these offers is that they are just not quite true.

They seem to leave out the part about how you get those three signups, and they also seldom explain how you will help those three that you find bring in their three people. In other words, duplication is not part of their training program.

This is just one thing that we never worry about in our line of work. We don't need to duplicate, because there would be no advantage to doing so for us or them. Fortunately in our line of work, personality is not a liability, and anyone can work the business as long as they have the training required to work the business properly.

We can help with that, since I am a verified futures broker, even though I no longer do that for a living. I have graduated to the real world, and now I make my living on the other side of the tracks, the futures trading business. For more information, please visit our website here.

Welcome To Our Blog


How are you doing today? We are doing very well, and hope to entertain and enlighten you with our posts and our website at homemoneywork.com. First, let me introduce you to us.

I am Rick Barnett, and I live with my lovely wife Sabreena on an 80 acre property in north-central Washington state, with gorgeous views and plenty of wild animals. Our faithful dog Goldie keeps us alerted to any animals that should not be that close to our house.

We plan to educate you about what we do, and offer assistance to anyone else who is working online in most any niche. Our niche is futures trading, but we don't do it the way 98% of the other people do it.

We invite comments from anyone, and also welcome questions.
