option alpha.com Kirk Dupluses.

Hey everyone this is Kirk Dupluses here again at option alpha

dot com and welcome to the first ever option alpha podcast where we show you guys

how to make smarter trades you know podcasting has been something I've been wanting to do for about a year now

and just really haven't taken the steps to do it and finally my wife was kind enough

to really kick me in the butt and get me podcasting here and we've been setting up all these

shows and everything that we have coming out for you guys over the last couple

weeks and finally ready to launch everything coming up very very soon so a lot of new shows are going to be coming out, but what I wanted to do on this first podcast, kind of our initial run here, is talk a little bit about my background, who I am, my trading background.

If you're not familiar with us at option alpha.com, this will help you get a little bit of

familiarity with what we do and how we do it over there.

And then also just kind of lay the groundwork here for what we're going to be doing

in this podcast going into the future. I know that this is going to be an incredible

opportunity to connect with people like you that are driving in your car or working out or just listening to

it on your phone at home. This is a great opportunity and another great medium for

us to talk about what we like to do and that's trade options and invest in the stock market.

So before we get into all of that, let me just kind of run through a little bit of background

on who I am and where I'm from and what I do.

So again, my name is Kirk.

I'm actually born and raised in Denver, Colorado.
