Who is The FOPT For?

The F.O.P.T is a L/S portfolio management video lectures that teaches the top down approach to L/S idea generation and management of a portfolio. This is for those who meet the following:

- Desire to learn to generate L/S ideas using a top down approach
- Those who have a min $100K USD portfolio
- Those who are already profitable investors, this is not for beginners

If you are here on this page then you should already have, at a minimum, be a regular viewer and reader of our free podcast and articles. If you are here and you have not been doing that at a minimum then you have no business even considering this video lecture series yet because you don't have enough information about what our investment approach is and what it is we do.

Finally, you need to already be someone who has some level of profitable returns but are after more through learning to generate L/S ideas to run a risk-adjusted portfolio that works in bull or bear markets. The $100K minimum is a requirement, NOT a suggestion - the concepts to run a L/S portfolio require multiple positions and capital so there is ZERO point in using these concepts without that as a minimum starting point.

Who is the FOPT Not For?

The F.O.P.T is intensive and as we've said above it's designed for certain people and won't fit everyone for many reasons. If you are someone that needs hand holding at any minor inconvenience instead of being able to work through it on your own first then this won't be for you.

We are literally teaching you to be self-sufficient by showing you how to use a repeatable investment approach so that you can generate investment ideas and run a L/S portfolio and we know what it takes to get you to a point where you are self-sufficient. So, if you are someone that cannot understand that and instead 'loses it' or constantly relies on others in F.O.P.T for simple questions that you can find on your own then you are only doing yourself a disservice. There is plenty of help, tools and insights in DeltaOne that you're going to use that are not included in the video lectures but you need to be committed to finding answers and working through tough concepts because that is part of the job in learning to manage a portfolio.

Finally, this is not for beginners or for "fixing failed" day traders. If this is you please use our research report for a few quarters or follow our free content on YouTube so that you can learn and get rid of the bad habits learned from purported "Professional Traders".

What Topics Are Taught?

You are learning to operate as a portfolio manager which means you'll learn the entire top down process of idea generation, execution and portfolio construction to build out a L/S portfolio. This means you're learning how to generate investment ideas with three frameworks:

- Fundamental: Turn arounds, special situations investing process
- Thematic: Thematic idea generation frameworks
- Price Action: Price action generated idea frameworks

In addition you'll learn the concept of risk-adjusted returns and developing a L/S portfolio while having the ability to be able to determine how to structure a trade with LEAPs and Deep in The Money options when needed.

You can see all of the video lecture titles on this page where it says view video lectures.

What is Included With FOPT?

The 3 or 12 month option both include access to the video lectures, all relevant PDFs and excel spreadsheets. These are all available to you for either 3 or 12 months.

Also included is access to an on-boarding call via Zoom so that we can go over basic Q&As and get you acclimated to the process.

Finally, you are provided access to DeltaOne and The LongVol Report PDF.

What is DeltaOne?

DeltaOne is a private community in our Discord community with other F.O.P.T members and as the saying goes you are the five people you most actively surround yourself with. In DeltaOne you'll be surrounded by actual people who generate mid to high 6-figure returns each year using L/S portfolio management principles. This means you'll be around people speaking the same language and not a community of randoms chasing every which trade idea on a whims notice.

To give you an idea, the average portfolio balance is $500K with the largest being $12 million - as such this is a group of investors who are serious about generating returns.

DeltaOne also provides you access to additional research, members only webinars and idea flow not found in The LongVol Report.

What if I take this and I am not happy with it? What are the options?

Firstly, you should already be familiar with our work by being a subscriber to The LongVol Report PDF and at a very minimum have been a viewer our our podcast. If you have done either of those then you're well aware of who we are, what we do and the caliber of how it's done.

Second, we are here to teach you portfolio management and we've done that for many people over the years but you need to be self-sufficient. Great investors, and entrepreneurs for that matter, know how to deal frustrations and usually that's by finding solutions which we provide you with in this great lecture series but it's on you to work through that.

If you are here to make money, generate ideas and contribute this is for you. If you are searching for "happiness' please consider joining a local investment group where you can join others who do anything but generate actual returns.

As such, there are no-refunds for the FOPT.
