About Josh Fabian:

I became interested in investing when I was twelve and made my first investment at the age of fifteen. I bought Pillsbury and shortly thereafter, they were bought out. I doubled my money and was hooked.

I began trading options about fifteen years ago before most of the modern technology I rely on so heavily today was available. Had you asked me then who “The Greeks” were and I probably would have said people from Greece. Much of what I did was short-term equity trading with some options mixed in.

I now trade options exclusively and primarily look to sell premium but will buy options when I feel they are underpriced. I am a strong believer in the TastyTrade approach for those familiar with it. However, I frequently use charts and Fibonacci ratio’s to look for entry and exit points.

I own a company called Plain Talk Investor (PTI). Plain Talk Investor actually began in 1983 by my cousin, Fred Gordon, who was a very successful investor. He had an ability to make complex financial jargon understandable for anyone. PTI ceased publication back in the early 90’s and I am now in the process of relaunching it.

Currently, I send out a nightly newsletter that offers a recap of the day, what I’m seeing and what trades I’m making while also trying to mix in some humor. In the near future we will launch a weekly recap/outlook and quarterly update.

We are in the process of building out a website that will have among other things, intraday commentary, and educational content that I will provide. My litmus test is if I can get my dad and daughter to understand what I’m explaining then anyone capable of fogging a mirror should be able to understand as well.

Outside of trading, I am a single father of three living in Mundelein. I am also a paraplegic and until recently played basketball as far back as I can remember. I was a five-time varsity athlete at the University of Illinois. I was the starting point guard all four years and we won a college wheelchair national championship my senior year. My fifth letter was in track but I realized it was really just a lot of turning left and quickly lost interest. I have also played on several USA Basketball teams both during college and after.

My undergrad is in Journalism and Master’s is in Strategic Intelligence.
