In fact, it’s such an extreme diversion from what most people think of typical income trades that I call it: The Perfect Income Trade You see, most of the income techniques out there target a couple of percent.

And here’s the best news of all: This trade can target an opportunity like that every week. Every single week. Meaning an investor has the chance to “stack up” these more aggressive income trades over and over.
