Karen the Super trader. Hey I'm gonna make this quick video on Karen the Supertrader or Karen Bruton and she
[8]
also has the name Karen the super trader she's put out by tastytrade as
[16]
you know kind of a symbol of what it's like and the best way that you should
[22]
trade options and she's put out there as almost like she's put out on the
[27]
pedestal where she was they were told people were told who follow tastytrade
[32]
that she was able to turn apparently $100,000 into $41 million in three years
[37]
and it looks so the SEC charged her and they charged her with fraud I can I know
[46]
that she paid a fine and that she was also banned from the business but the
[51]
point is that you have to be extremely careful on the on who you're getting
[57]
your information from when you see something like Tacey works which I
[60]
believe is doing a positive service by teaching people how to sell option
[65]
premium but in then at the same time they are giving access to people who I
[70]
believe are scams and frauds like Timothy Sykes who has appeared on
[75]
tastytrade Network multiple times and then also carrying the super trader who
[81]
instead of turning a hundred thousand dollars into forty 1 million the SEC
[86]
claim that she actually lost 50 million dollars and I'll show you some of that
[90]
evidence in a few minutes but the point is that why should you care about it and
[97]
really I wouldn't even make this video unless I believed that there was
[101]
something wrong with the tastytrade methodology and the reason why Karen
[106]
lost so much money or quote-unquote careened the super trader lost so much
[111]
money is the same reason why I believe Tom sahs knob does not make money
[117]
trading in the same reason why I don't believe Thomas Asaf is a successful
[122]
trader the reason is that when you are wrong directionally and when you are
[128]
short bias and have negative Delta it is similar
[133]
to you collecting premium on cars that eventually end up becoming totaled and
[141]
you end up paying the entire amount to replace the car so for example if you're
[148]
an insurance company in an ideal situation you want to collect premium
[153]
for that car and then you don't want that car to get into any accidents but
[158]
if you are wrong directionally then it is very similar to you being an
[162]
insurance company collecting the premium for that policy and then having all of
[168]
your cars get into collisions and becoming totaled so therefore you have
[172]
to pay out of pocket to replace that car it's almost like you're collecting and
[177]
you're trading dollars for nickels and that's exactly the same thing that
[182]
happen with Karen the supertrader why she lost fifty million dollars and this
[187]
is also why I don't believe that Tom's Asaf makes money because even if you're
[192]
right when you're short calls the maximum amount of money that you can
[196]
make is that you collect and you keep the premium that you originally sold the
[201]
options for however if you're wrong directionally then you are actually
[207]
collecting that premium but it's costing you dollars and it's only a matter of
[212]
time just like with Karen Bruton that you will go bankrupt and you're gonna
[216]
have to resort to shady things in order to cover your tracks the weird thing is
[221]
that even though she was indicted by the SEC so here you can see tastytrade is
[227]
still promoting her so we can see that here so here so the weird thing is in
[240]
the previous thing that I showed you right here she's talking about here
[246]
she's SEC charge fund manager her former CPA she apparently turned a hundred
[251]
thousand dollars into forty 1 million and now she's the front person for an
[257]
old person's home where she's saying that heritage provides her with the
[261]
obligation of relieving her from the obligation of bills and cooking
[265]
I mean it's kind of strange for someone who apparently was able to turn a
[268]
hundred thousand dollars into 41 million now going back to this so she was fined
[275]
one point five million dollars by the SEC for fraud and she was also banned
[280]
from the industry I believe if I read it correctly let me see
[284]
so she was charged with deceiving investors of 50 million dollars in
[290]
losses from 2014 and 2016 they pocketed millions of dollars in undeserved
[296]
incentive fees again look she lost 50 million dollars but at the same time
[305]
tastytrade was promoting her as being one of their most successful students
[310]
the judgment was issued I mean she's very lucky that she wasn't charged by
[314]
the Department of Justice for criminal fraud I'm not sure why she wasn't the
[319]
Commission temporarily suspended her from doing business as accountants or
[324]
investment advisors she engaged in a continuous pattern of trading to inflate
[333]
their compensation from the funds they not only delayed realization of trading
[337]
losses but also intentionally seized or sized certain traits of the funds who
[343]
realize the profit every month so pretty much it was fraud the super ferret is
[349]
winning strategy relied on fright now look I don't really believe everything
[352]
that's reported in the news I think that the news is put out there for clickbait
[357]
but when it's signed by a judge and you're convicted and you're fined and
[364]
you had the ability to fight these charges and you know there was a
[370]
conviction or there was a settlement agreement and you're charged and you pay
[373]
1.5 million dollars to me then that's something that is worthwhile for you to
[378]
pay attention to so allegedly she was charged with deceiving investors and
[383]
having 50 million dollars in losses and she was charged with fraud SEC complaint
[389]
violating anti-fraud provisions
[394]
she's being investigated for fraud now here's the weird thing about this where
[403]
Karen the super trader I think just last month she was invited to a tastytrade
[409]
symposium and she actually gave a speech SEC guru leaks SEC obtains consent
[416]
judgment against let me see would SEC obtains consent judgment against Karen
[421]
supertrader Bruton she'd order she would order - yeah so apparently she was
[428]
ordered to pay it like a 1.5 million dollar penalty with respect to alleged
[432]
scheme avoiding fifty million dollars plus and losses while earning millions
[437]
in fees to which she was not entitled
[441]
Karen the super trader so yeah Karen the supertrader who apparently lost who
[448]
apparently turned a hundred thousand dollars into forty 1 million in reality
[452]
she lost around fifty million dollars
[457]
she certainly outsmarted the trade tasty tards that's interesting never heard
[463]
that that word before all right let me see but the here's the weird thing
[474]
tastytrade continues to give Karen access to her their platform I think it
[483]
was July 2019 let me see yep so geeks on parade here
[492]
you can see the geeks on parade so Karen just less than a month ago actually
[499]
she was actually speaking at a symposium to give advice to tasty critters this
[505]
just doesn't make sense to me why are you gonna give this woman who's
[508]
convicted and led to pay a civil penalty of 1.5 million dollars why are you going
[514]
to give her acces why is she viewed as someone who's successfully in the
[519]
industry when she was accused and charged with losing 50 million dollars
[524]
she did not turn $100,000 into 41 million
[527]
and she's giving look at this they're giving her access to their networking
[531]
they're holding her up in a marketing her as a successful trader when in
[535]
reality she's anything about that successful traders do not get charged by
[538]
the SEC for fraud successful investors do not lose 50
[542]
million dollars successful investors do not have to pay a civil penalty penalty
[546]
of 1.5 million dollars look what she's saying successful investors neither tied
[556]
to advertisements to get paid promotional money to say that they do no
[561]
longer have to worry about taking care of their bills or life I quit my job
[567]
also I actually like listen to this and I don't really get the impression that
[572]
caring takes care of herself because mentally she doesn't seem extremely
[576]
sharp she's fumbling over her words she's
[579]
looking down at the paper which leads me to believe that she doesn't have the
[582]
mental capacity to process information and to keep multiple amounts of
[587]
information in her head and she doesn't have the verbal fluidity in order to
[591]
deliver a speech in a coherent manner as a result to me that would be a red flag
[596]
and I also in my opinion get the same thing when I watched someone like bill
[601]
Paulus from profits run research where I look at some of his presentation skills
[606]
and it's clear to me that again in my opinion he is lacking intellectually so
[612]
why would I want to take any advice from someone who I do not believe have the
[616]
mental faculties to be able to process information let me also show you Timothy
[621]
Sykes who in my opinion is a scam artist yet
[632]
tastytrade for some reason repeatedly provides him with access to their
[637]
program 2012 2011 2009 that doesn't say on Twitter replaces pencil so alright at
[646]
least twice you have 2012 2011 tastytrade is granting access to Timothy
[653]
sites which is kind of weird because if you type in this
[659]
I think Emmet from from trading schools org you can see that he came out with a
[671]
few hilarious and funny pieces on Timothy Sykes so he calls him the turd
[677]
economist he rates him quality cost about 1.5 the only thing he gives them a
[685]
5-4 is charitable causes but look Timothy Sykes is not Robin Hood he's not
[691]
I don't think he should be giving credit for taking money from innocent people
[696]
and then transferring it to charities that he then markets himself to make him
[699]
look very benevolent this isn't a transfer of wealth the fact is in my
[704]
opinion that teaching people how to trade penny stocks is going to result in
[711]
losses for almost everyone who does it alright you can also see that Tim used
[717]
to run profit Lee I believe he sold it I'm not a hundred percent sure but you
[722]
can also see where Emmet caught profit Lea leaving fake reviews for other
[734]
people when we see here's profit Lee
[743]
sorry that it's not rendering perfectly sprinkles the truth can sometimes be
[748]
found a prophet li the verification of brokerage accounts a properly is easily
[752]
gamed and cannot be trusted so here you see Tim Sykes let's talk
[757]
about prophet Li so can properly be trusted it's one big marketing snowball
[768]
he's properly a fraud so then I think you can also see how Cameron Foust was
[787]
caught with prophet Li from training school org let me see
[802]
all right in anyway so at best properly has a dubious reputation from people who
[811]
are serious about reviewing these sites a lot of the positive reviews are done
[816]
by affiliates so at best properly has a dubious reputation properly was I
[823]
believe started by Timothy Sykes Timothy Sykes at best has a dubious reputation
[830]
Timothy Sykes was given access to tastytrade and a tastytrade platform
[836]
multiple times has Timothy Sykes been charged with a crime he was not however
[841]
this does not bode well for the overall validity and the overall reputation of
[850]
tastytrade then tastytrade continuously markets Karen Bruton the super trader
[858]
even though she has been shown to be fraudulent she was charged by the SEC
[865]
for losing fifty million dollars she did not turn $100,000 into 41 million
[870]
dollars even as recently as July 2019 she was invited to a tastytrade
[876]
symposium geeks parade in order to be marketed by tastytrade for their
[883]
methodology and for the way that they teach you I can tell you that in my
[888]
opinion I do not believe that Tom Safa is a profitable trader primarily because
[893]
when you are short Delta you are trading dollars for nickels so anyone out there
[900]
who believes that you should trade often trade small definitely do that but trade
[906]
small trade often trading often is going to get you in trouble and look I'll use
[910]
TC I used to so I use tasty works as well I love it I think it's great as you
[916]
can see we're up around I don't know seventy five percent on the
[921]
year and I use I use them all the time but what I can tell you is I do not
[929]
subscribe to the methodology of tasty trade which is trade small trade often
[935]
if you see here we have I think we have yeah we have no
[939]
losing trades for the entire year year to date here the realized law there
[945]
realized gains rather here the unrealized gains we have positions on
[951]
PayPal Raytheon and United Healthcare here are all the realized gains here are
[957]
the open positions that we have PayPal Raytheon United Healthcare so even
[964]
though I like tasty works I do not subscribe to the tastytrade methodology
[968]
I also think it's incredibly shady that they market someone with a dubious
[974]
history who has been charged by the SEC for fraud even though they continuously
[979]
promote her as a model of consistency and as a model that their followers
[984]
should strive towards emulating but I do not think I want to emulate someone who
[990]
has lost 50 million dollars even though she's been marketed to someone who was
[995]
able to turn a hundred thousand dollars into 41 million so again besides the
[1000]
fact that it's been shown numerous times that Thomas on off frequently loses
[1005]
track of his positions he you know for someone like yourself if you have
[1011]
anywhere from two thousand to five million dollars I don't know about you
[1016]
but it doesn't make sense for me and it would give me a lot of stress to lose
[1021]
track of my positions it's not a game so frequently you'll see Tom and Tony laugh
[1026]
on set even though there are positions that are going against them I don't know
[1030]
why they think it's a game because if I'm losing track of my positions which
[1034]
Tom he's admitted on his show that he does and then you have a position going
[1039]
against you to me if I have a losing position then I'm not happy about it so
[1044]
I would definitely you know if you want to look at tastytrade for entertainment
[1048]
purposes no problem but if you follow them religiously then in my opinion
[1052]
you're going to lose money additionally I did receive actually I think I've
[1058]
posted this on LinkedIn
[1063]
from a student who said that he lost he was able to churn his account from
[1072]
25,000 into 10,000 so here's what I posted another options trading education
[1078]
core success all right so this guy took the course and where do you write about
[1086]
okay so he he said I just finished the course the content is excellent I pretty
[1093]
much wasted the past nine years I started off trading options in 2010 I
[1098]
finally started selling spreads where's the tastytrade part right here I
[1102]
transitioned to tastytrade and followed their mantra trade small trade often and
[1107]
managed to trade my twenty five thousand dollar account to ten thousand so I quit
[1113]
altogether for a while again this person started off with twenty five thousand
[1118]
dollars and then they turned it into ten thousand by following the tastytrade
[1121]
methodology of trade small trade often then you have Karen the super trader who
[1127]
was charged with fraud by the SEC she was able to agree to a settlement they
[1132]
accuse her of losing 50 million dollars she paid a 1.5 million dollar fine they
[1137]
also have used Timothy Sykes and granted him access to their platform you know
[1144]
it's just and look I use tastytrade as I showed
[1147]
you before I used tastytrade but I don't trade often you can see like all the
[1151]
trades these are you know the trade these are for the entire year these are
[1157]
the symbols some of them have been very small trades you can look at our entire
[1162]
portfolio right now we only have positions on three three underlines and
[1168]
that's pretty much it so if you have any questions let me know
[1170]
so this is in my opinion the real truth about Karen Bruton Karen the super trader
