How often have companies that have received the "<1.8 – Likely to Go Bankrupt in the Next 2 Years" rating actually gone bankrupt within 2 years?
Give us some historical data!

Option Spreads With Large Upside and Limited Downside

Now, please don't get offended, but from where I am from, when the potential risk equals a total loss of the "net" investment, it is not actually investing. It is gambling. You are betting against the board that you are going to be right on these recommended transactions.
Options are a great way to transfer risk, increase total returns (in ways that are safe enough for widows and orphans to do), and take on measured risks to get attractive entry and exit points to the market. I also think there can be a place for very aggressive strategies for a small piece of an investors investments, but these strategies are not really for serious investors with serious money.
I like that there is no unlimited loss potential in this advice, but it would be nice to have some way to preserve some of the "risk capital".
