The Notes Below Are An Integral Part of this Report
Program Description: The Short Premium Program (SPP) is designed as a cash efficient means to deliver risk adjusted and total returns superior to those of the S&P 500.

The program takes advantage of one of the most persistent edges in trading, realized volatility (actual market moves) is less than implied volatility (the anticipated market moves based on the cost of options or insurance). Much like any insurance, those that reduce risk must pay for someone to take that risk.

Unlike most short premium strategies, CCM limits the delta loss in a market crash to approximately 10% of the account's value. In many cases the SPP can see significant gains in a 1-3% move lower in the S&P 500. By using short term options (<10 days), selling skew, and limiting downside risk, the SPP offers a risk efficient method to profit from selling portfolio insurance.
