After graduating from college Chuck Hughes entered the U.S. Air Force Pilot Training program. Chuck served six years on active duty as a pilot and six years in the Air Force Reserves. When Chuck completed his Air Force active duty tour, he got his dream job as an airline pilot flying for a major US airline.

With his powerful system, Chuck Hughes has become the only trader to win the Stock Trading Championships 10 times.
In the beginning, Chuck had to start small with a $4,600 trading account. But his tax returns show that he made $460,164 in profits his first two years of trading. This was more than he made the previous six years as an airline pilot. Since then Chuck has made well over $5 million trading and has nearly 3 decades of trading experience.
Chuck has written numerous books on investing and taught thousands of people how to make money trading. He resides on the Central Coast of California with his wife and six children and now trades full time. He is an avid tennis player and enjoys hiking in the mountains of Big Sur.

Todd "Bubba" Horwitz is what you call "Street Smart." When something screwy happens in any of the markets... stock, futures, options... Bubba is the first person media giants like Fox Business News and CNBC call. And when nothing's happening, they call him then, too.
Top fund managers with as much as $8 Billion under management go to Bubba for guidance in safeguarding their portfolios against downside risk. And thousands of men & women schooled by Bubba enjoy security and peace of mind knowing even a modest IRA can produce a generous monthly income while continuing to grow risk-free forever. Todd Horwitz grew up in Chicago listening to stories told by boastful floor traders. So, at the tender age of 21 he bought a CBOE membership and began his career trading in the Superior Oil Pit and OEX Pit... which were the most active pits back in the 1980's.
The initials BUB appeared on Todd's ID tag... and still do today. With his imposing stature, straight-talk and aggressive trading style, little wonder that BUB quickly evolved into Bubba. And the name stuck.
In 1984, Bubba retired as a floor trader, he became a media commentator on the markets, an author and a consultant to billion-dollar hedge funds. He also began his own radio show called, appropriately enough, "The Bubba Show."
In recent years, Bubba has become so fed-up over the way everyday Americans are being cheated out of their retirement savings... he came out of retirement to begin teaching what he knows about successful options trading.
