We're going to look at Samantha Bryant from Talkin' Option and you are going to learn whether
talking options is legitimate or whether she is a scam stay tuned so Samantha Bryant runs a YouTube
channel with about 18 000 followers and she's been growing significantly I first became aware
of her because a number of people asked me in the comments to some of my videos to check her out
and my initial impression of her was that she could potentially not be legitimate however i
started then watching some of her videos and i was really taken aback by how we think very similarly
and that we try to expose people who we believe have false and evil intent so for example some
of the people who we've actually exposed have been the same such as Madaz Money or Steven Dux in one
of her latest videos here's her video on Steven Dux and then in that video she also looked at
Madaz Money she also looked at Swaggy C from The Swag Academy and she actually went very in-depth
in her videos on Swaggy C about why she believes that he's fraudulent she also looked at MT4 where
a lot of fake forex traders are actually able to manipulate their results and then pass them off as
legitimate so that they can sell them and package it to their followers as if they're actually
successful retail forex traders now for the life of me i cannot understand why anyone would try to
trade forex there's a virtual 100 percent chance that as a retail forex trader you're actually
going to lose money and additionally unlike some of the penny stock fake gurus or some
other day trading gurus you cannot pump and dump forex because it is not low float additionally
as a retail forex trader you have significant counterparty risk because oftentimes the broker
is located or domiciled outside the united states and they're actually
trading against the customer themselves so if the customer wins then by definition
the broker is losing trading is one of the most risky products that a retail trader
can engage in and be involved in and I really would estimate that the likelihood that a retail
forex trader is going to make money is close to zero percent when i started watching some of
Samantha Bryant's videos I was really taken back by how honest she is and then I also looked at
some of her videos and the comment section and I felt very bad for her because a lot of the people
attacked her they would call her stupid and they would call her names and things like that and I
thought that this was really inappropriate because i see someone like Samantha Bryant who is really
vouching for their veracity and vouching for truth and for people to act in an honest and forthcoming
and transparent manner and then when she calls them out then you have these sheep from the fake
gurus actually commenting on her videos and trying to put her down and make her look inferior or make
her look stupid when in reality it's either the sheep or the marketing team from the fake guru
who are leaving fake comments on her videos to try to discourage her from actually diving deeper
and exposing these fake gurus so if you click on any of her videos then you oftentimes see that
many of her comment sections are deluged by either fake comments from the fake guru that are actually
attacking her or people who are just simply misguided and misinformed and ignorant to the fact
that they cannot make money as retail day traders so what i did was i reached out to Samantha Bryant
and i scheduled a call with her and we spoke for an app for about an hour additionally i watched
a lot of her videos so i wanted to run through some pros and cons and my overall takeaways from
my interactions with her the pros I view Samantha Bryant as someone who is extremely honest she told
me that she doesn't sell a course and she doesn't even monetize her videos now one of my friends
emailed me and sent me a link to her course that was for sale so i thought that this was a little
bit contradictory so i then emailed samantha bryant and asked if i could enroll in her course
so i sent her an email from an anonymous account asking if i can enroll in her course here's the
email as you can see i said hi samantha i like your Youtube videos but i can't find your course
this is still available to join then i remembered that when i spoke to Samantha bryant she told me
that she no longer sells her course but i still wanted to be sure so i sent her this email
and she did not respond to this email the other thing is that she doesn't monetize her videos
which as someone who gets a lot of views on her videos she's probably giving up about two thousand
to three thousand dollars every single month by not monetizing her videos which to me
indicates that she's in it for the long term and that she really cares about the user experience
and growing her channel as large as possible so that she can increase her influence the second
thing that struck me about samantha bryant was that i perceive her to be incredibly intelligent
and i've experienced it myself that she is an incredible and great communicator samantha
bryant is probably one of the most naturally gifted speakers that i have ever come across
the fourth thing that i really appreciate about samantha bryant is that she exposes fake gurus
and that she has her viewers interest at heart and she's trying to protect
people from losing their money to fake gurus the fifth thing that i like about samantha bryant
is that she sells option premium and she uses futures for capital efficiency
the sixth thing that i like about samantha bryant is that she is an independent thinker
there are a lot of people who are critical of her virtually all of her comments are negative and
they tell her to stop and they try to discourage her from making new videos but she just has the
conviction and the love for herself where she does not let random troll comments stop her from
fulfilling her destiny and from helping others now getting into the cons and the bad things
that i perceive to be associated with samantha bryant and her trading strategy the first
major item that i don't agree with is that she uses astrology to trade and i don't understand
this and i personally never heard of anyone using it well that's not true i believe that i looked at
one youtube creator from I believe Indonesia who has about two to three hundred thousand followers
who uses astrological signs in order to trade i do not believe that there are any research reports
about the efficacy of using astrological signs to trade now i know that when i spoke to her on the
phone she said something about using the different patterns or using the astrological signs and how
it influences crops and commodities however i still have not read any research reports that
this is statistically significant and that it is efficacious in being able to improve your trading
perhaps she uses it as a supporting mechanism similar to how many people use technical analysis
but i also don't want to completely disregard it because just because i don't understand it
doesn't mean that it's completely bogus however i will say that she does sell option premium
and option sellers make money because the expected volatility is usually always more than the actual
volatility so what happens is because actual volatility is less than expected volatility when
you sell option premium you are able to capture the difference between the expected volatility and
the actual volatility the second thing that i was really impressed when i spoke to her on the phone
is that she seems to understand how futures are extremely capital efficient and i believe she also
sells options on futures so the reason i bring this up is that i do believe that she has a solid
fundamental understanding of selling options and profiting from the difference in expected
versus actual volatility however i did not delve into the actual specifics of her trading strategy
except to understand that she sells option premium she uses spreads to control the volatility risk
of violent down moves and volatility expansion she does use futures in order to take advantage of the
greater capital efficiency that's inherent in that product so again to recap some of the bad things
it would be in my opinion the astrology is at best mediocre and there are no research reports about
its efficacy so it's unproven i also spoke to her on the phone about litigation and in my opinion
she didn't seem very clear on how the system works she was under the impression on the phone call
that as long as she's right that it doesn't matter what she says and i told her that oftentimes what
happens with fake gurus is that they will file a defamation case and then they will
also file an emergency request for a temporary restraining order or an injunctive relief and
it doesn't really matter whether you are right or wrong because the fake gurus their goal is not to
litigate in fact the longer litigation goes on for the fake gurus the more at risk they become
because their entire goal is not to litigate it's to force you into signing a permanent injunction
about you speaking about them in the future so their goal is never to litigate because if this
goes to trial and then you present evidence then that puts them at substantial risk additionally
they will drop the case prior to going through discovery so if you hit them with admissions
and interrogatories and requests for production for documents then they are going to drop the case
however they have no intent on actually litigating this case with you and as a result when you made
the assertion that you're in the right so it doesn't really matter whether they sue you
or not that's actually inaccurate because their entire goal is to make life uncomfortable for you
have you spent money on attorneys is to drag you in win the temporary injunction hearing and
then force you to settle so that you take down the videos and that you agree to a permanent
injunction in the future in which case the judge isn't even going to consider your evidence
unless it's at the hearing for the temporary injunction but if you lose that hearing then
it becomes an uphill battle for you in the future however getting sued by these fake gurus
is actually your way of proving that they are fake because what happens is that if you do not
settle with them you can then drag them through discovery and then force them to produce documents
like their training statements you can subpoena their IB agreements you can subpoena their
customer lists you can speak to their customers you can subpoena all of these records and then
you can actually expose them as the frauds that you believe they are so when they threaten you
with litigation it's actually extremely dangerous on their part because not only are they going to
spend about a hundred thousand dollars just to get this case through discovery but they're actually
exposing themselves to substantial risk where if you drag them through the litigation process and
you do not settle then you can essentially expose them for the frauds that you believe that they are
the final thing is that i know that she currently has a beef with the Inner Circle Trader (ICT)
the inner circle traitor and i saw on one of his community chats that he wrote this let's see how
much talking options has in defending against the defamation lawsuit you've got male samantha bryant
running from the feds quote unquote caught you a suit so this is wrong on so many levels because
i checked both the federal and the state and there are no records of any legal action against
samantha bryant now assuming that inner circle trader does not live in florida he would have
to file a federal case against samantha bryant there are no records against any litigation of
inner circle trader filing any type of defamation claim against samantha bryant i also searched
the 11th state district of Florida which services and is the jurisdiction for the Miami-Dade county
and there are also no records there of any litigation against samantha bryant
additionally when he says you've got mail samantha bryant that also doesn't make sense because
in a defamation case whether it is federal or state it actually requires the complaint
to be hand delivered and service by mail would not be acceptable so the process server would actually
have to fill out an affidavit of service that they personally served samantha bryant in both a state
and a federal case none of which have been filed here so for him to say that you've
got mail samantha bryant is just factually inaccurate because no case has been filed
and additionally he would not be able to mail a lawsuit instead the complaint would have to be
hand delivered running from the feds quote unquote i assume that means that he filed
a federal lawsuit or that he's implying that he filed a federal lawsuit but this is not accurate
all right so again in my opinion the best thing that samantha bryant could do in this situation
would be if she has litigation experience it would be to actually encourage inner circle traitor to
sue her because what typically happens in these situation is that the plaintiff or the petitioner
in this case would find himself trapped in a lawsuit and spending a ton of money on litigation
and because the florida laws have recently been strengthened with regards to frivolous lawsuits
inner circle trader can file a case against samantha bryant
she could then defend herself as a pro se litigant and then have inner circle traitor spend at least
a hundred thousand dollars defending himself or if samantha bryant wanted to hire council she could
then file an anti-slapp motion to get this case dismissed in which case inner circle trader would
be on the hook for her litigation fees and she would also be able to serve inner circle trader
with discovery request which would mandate that inner circle trader would hand over
his customer list his trading statements his IB agreements and anything that she wanted he would
be subpoenaed and forced to produce and perhaps inner circle trader is very intelligent and knows
that litigating a defamation case is not the best way to proceed because in my opinion inner
circle trader would be taking substantial risk if he actually filed the litigation case against
samantha bryant so overall i think that samantha bryant is amazing and she has good intent i think
that she's incredibly intelligent i think that everyone should pay attention to samantha bryant
because it is creators like samantha bryant who are shedding light against fake gurus Steven Dux,
Earn your leisure, ict jeremy young cash i mean she's doing her part in saving people
hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and i think that samantha bryant whether you like
her style or not whether you appreciate her or not is someone that is worthy and deserves
your attention especially because she's not even trying to monetize her audience she's not selling
a course she is not placing ads and monetizing her videos and in my opinion it's people like this who
deserve your attention who deserve your support because they have your best interests at heart
it is really important that you support people like this that you support them in
the comments that you send them emails that you show your appreciation because we need
more people like samantha bryant we need more people fighting for justice we need more people
who have the courage to expose fake gurus who have evil intent who are trying to take advantage
of their followers and bankrupt their followers for their own personal gain
