Thank you for taking the time to read this reply. I appreciate the fact that you have decided to hear my side of the story, rather than just simply believe the article that Consumer Magazine NZ wrote about me.

I welcome your questions. You can contact me Daniel Kertcher at .com

Sincerely yours, Daniel Kertcher

Daniel Kertcher - My Story

Daniel Kertcher - In the beginning

In the early months of 2002 a journalist named Phil Mitchell attended one of many of my preview seminars held in the evening that was ran in Wellington, New Zealand. The preview seminar was held to promote and inform the public about my upcoming options seminar.

Unknown to myself and others, Phil did not make any efforts to make himself known to me that he was a journalist, interested in writing an article about me and my seminars.

Several weeks later my NZ promoters (ESC) were contacted by Phil. and said that he had interest in writing an article. We decided to invite him to attend an upcoming 3 day course at no charge. I never have or had anything to hide and take pride of my seminar and my work.

Mr. Mitchell decided to attend the 3 day course. Upon completion of the course, Phil, stated, he was happy with the seminar & the content, also stating that he enjoyed the course. Until 2003, we didn’t hear from him or Consumer Magazine.

In the early months of 2003 we started receiving emails from our clients, stating that, contact was made by Mr. Mitchell via email, asking them “leading questions”. We immediately contacted Mr. Mitchell and asked what he was doing. He informed us that he was now interested in writing the article and that he was contacting some of the people that had attended the course that he had attended to hear how they had gone. 

The opportunity to have an article written was welcomed and I immediately sent Phil a set of my 3 day course on DVD, along with my one day Advanced Options Trading DVD. and my other 1 day Advanced Covered Calls DVD. 

Phil advised me that he was going to contact our graduates and advised that before the article was to be printed, Consumer Magazine would contact us to show us and to seek approval on the drafts so as to comment on them. We constantly welcomed their approach.

Since Phil attended my course in the year of 2002, The course has transformed and has changed substantially. In early 2002 I was teaching at the Australian Options Market. This is the third largest worldwide and a robust market place. At the time, a great deal of difficulty was likely for non- US residents to open accounts with online US options brokers and to trade on the US market. Not impossible, but very difficult. 

In mid 2002, non-US residents could open accounts with US online brokers with a degree of ease since early 2002. Brokers’ systems became far more advanced, with stop loss and contingent order features allowing traders to be asleep whilst the market is open and still have trades protected. Obvious necessities for Australian/ Asian/ NZ traders as the traders are usually asleep whilst the US market is open. 

Based on improvements within the marketplace, I immediately set out to transform my course from being Australian based to US based. Simply put. The US market is staggeringly huge in comparison to the Australian market, It provides hundreds of extra opportunities for options. The depth of the market is virtually insatiable for any private investor, as this market turns over billions of dollars per year.

Daniel Kertcher - My Story - The seminars

Early 2003 I ran a series of seminars for free to my NZ graduates and other countries, to introduce them to the upgraded US market. These seminars where at my own cost, as I felt my graduates would benefit from the US market opportunities in a huge way. Not that the Australian market was poor and inadequate, It was in fact a highly vibrant marketplace, however the US market could offer so many additional benefits and opportunities and allows investors or traders to control their risk factor far better than with the Australian market and at the same time, maximizing better profits. 

I had explained to Mr. Mitchell of the course changes and advised that they had substantially changed from when he attended and that I would send him the entire DVD course, including 2 advanced courses. 

He had accepted the DVD’s and i was told that he was going to watch them.

My NZ promoters made contact with our graduates in NZ and advised them of Phil being a journalist from Consumer Magazine and was writing an article about me and requested that they would all co-operate with him and requested that they CC them on any email conversations with the Phil. Over the next few months Mr. Mitchell requested information and questions from me, via email, which I replied to. Once again, I cooperated knowing I had nothing to hide and was very open with him.  

I suggested to meet up with him in a face to face meeting, as I was intending to be in Wellington, where he lived. He agreed and we sat for a 2-3 hour meeting. During that meeting he continued to ask questions about my courses, my background, my qualifications, my clients profits and losses and questions about my charity work.

I thouroughly explained, that I had completed both, Level one and Level two Options Accredited Advisors course including exams with the Australian Stock Exchange known as the highest level of recognition & qualification one can achieve in the options world. He advised me that he had already confirmed that i was accredited as he contacted the ASX in his research about me. 

I explained to Phil that I had taught at several international stock exchanges and just recently had meetings with Directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
I advised, they had attended my courses in Hong Kong & appreciated my courses and that I continue to run many seminars there and in other countries. Several of these countries include Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Dubai, Thailand, Taiwan, and Australia. i then advised that In 2004 we will also be teaching in Japan, Europe and North America. 

I later explained further to him that I am a consultant with the Jakarta Stock Exchange and was currently running a series of seminars for all the brokerage firms in Indonesia. Teaching them about options as in 2004 they would be launching options in Indonesia for the first time.

 I also explained many clients had been exceptionally successful in writing Covered Calls and trading options. Out of 1000+ graduates in NZ alone, a high degree of them had become financially free from options, several quit their jobs and living solely on an options income. I further explained that not everyone who attends my course or any other for that fact actually goes on to use options effectively or at all. The old adage i believe applies to all humans, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink”. Despite efforts my courses have to offer, we recognize that approximately 20% of graduates do not go on to use options. 

I explained 80% of my graduates did go on to use options, 6 months, 12 months later and beyond. however thats the case with University also. Many people attend University, but don’t continue in their particular profession or vocation. I am a clear example of that, having studied neurophysiology (brain research) at Uni. 

The discussion continued and explained that i had educated my graduates to accept losses and that they are a part of investing world. No one in the world is always inclined to make profits. Successful investing is understanding how to minimize your losses and maximize profits. Mr. Mitchell explained that he understood that I explained to people how to both minimize losses and to maximize profits. 

Daniel Kertcher - My Story - Children's Charity

Phil then asked about my Children’s Charity Challenge and i explained that I had grown $10,000 to be worth more than $70,000. My challenge was to turn the $10K into $100K and donate the entire amount to several children’s charities. My aim of the exercise was demonstrating to the public that options can be used to build wealth, whilst using my options skills to help children in our society who greatly need our help. 

I further explained that I was yet to donate to the Children’s Charities as the Challenge money had not yet reached it’s target of $100K. At the time, It was just over $70K. Today it has grown to more than $85,000.  

Details of the charity challenge are, and always have been, available on my website for the public to view at my Daniel Kertcher Platinum Persuits Page.
