Seven Summits Webinar - Hedged Strategies for GS, MSFT, AAPL, RIMM, and XOM

The program will begin on Tuesday, July 29th and be comprised of a five-week, ten-session interactive online Webinar designed to provide investors with a basic understanding of equity options trading, risks involved, a working knowledge of more advanced strategies, concepts and tools. One-hour sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at noon Eastern Daylight Time and will be hosted by options experts. In addition, the classes will be recorded and available for online playback later.

"Equity market volatility in an increasingly unsure market has generated substantial interest in conservative equity options strategies among retail investors," said Victor Schiller, chief executive officer of Fresh Brewed Media, the parent company of Investors Observer. "However, we recognize that trading in options can be challenging. Our online Summer School course is designed to give individuals the basic skills and information they need to be successful then move them to more advanced concepts."

To take the course, investors go to the Investors Observer website and register

(http://www.iotogo.com/Webinar1). The first four sessions are offered free of charge with registration, which also includes full access to the Investors Observer Premium Investor Service and a live trade announcement in each online session. Following the fourth Summer School session on August 7th, participants may cancel their subscription without obligation. If they elect to continue they will be charged the normal Premium Service fee of $49.95/month.

"We want individuals to have the opportunity to determine whether investing with conservative equity options is something they want to pursue," said Schiller. "By the end of the fourth session, they should have a good idea of the skills, tools and commitment required to be a successful option investor. At that point, they may then elect to sign up for the service and continue, or they may just drop out with no costs incurred."
