Mike read "The Market Wizards" during college and decided he wanted to be a professional trader. He worked in the mutual fund business in Boston for a few years, then the Chicago exchanges called. After eighteen years floor trading at the CBOT he took a position with a prominent discount broker. Thousands of calls from self-directed traders and investors convinced him there is a better way to provide financial advice, so he partnered with Samantha to found Asylum Trading™, an education-only fixed fee Registered Investment Advisor.
Sam built and managed a very successful medical practice with her father, Los Angeles orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andrew Roth. After he passed, she set out to manage her share of his estate. She felt stuck between choosing a full service, high fee, "hands off" money manager or a discount broker that does not make recommendations or give advice. This inspired Zero Waste Investing™, only available from Asylum Trading™ ... UPDATE: Sam is now a successful trader who has achieved six-figure winning months trading stocks, futures, and options
Asylum Trading™ is not an Investment Adviser as defined by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. We are an educator and bona fide financial publisher. We do not engage in the business of being paid to provide anyone advice in any form by any means as to the value of securities or the merit of investing or transacting in them.
We will teach you how financial engineering works so you can manage your investments on a DIY basis, but we will not do it for you or help you do it yourself.
This is not a distinction without a difference. We never use the language of an adviser. We never state, "YOU should do THIS in THIS WAY because it is the best course of action for YOU." We will explain how things work until you are comfortable making decisions on your own, but we reject any connection to those decisions.
This is very important because it saves you vast sums in fees compared to traditional investment adviser arrangements based on fiduciary duty. We have no such duty as an educator and publisher. We deal in the facts of financial engineering and do not engage in personalized problem solving. Because we are not subject to regulation by the likes of the SEC, CFTC, FINRA, exchanges, state securities regulators, and the like, we can operate with very low costs we pass on.
We call this Zero Waste Investing™. We built Asylum Trading™ to teach people how to manage superior portfolios on a DIY basis after obtaining a very low cost education. If you can bake a batch of Toll House Cookies, you can manage an Eαsy Alphα™ or Index+5™ portfolio. If you do that, you will save tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or maybe even millions in lifetime fees you'd otherwise waste on an adviser.
