COST OF LIVING • FOOD & AGRICULTURE
This Saturday you’ll fire up the grill for America’s 250th birthday. Burgers, buns, lemonade, potato salad — the American Farm Bureau just ran the numbers, and this year’s cookout costs $21 more than the 2019 edition. Ground beef alone is up 5.5% from last year, buns jumped 7.7%, and if you’re grilling out West, tack on another six bucks. You’re not feeding a bigger crowd — you’re paying 40% more for a Fourth of July cookout than your family did seven years ago.
The $52.80 that fed 10 people in the Farm Bureau’s 2019 survey now puts food in front of about seven.

My accountant is going to kill me
She specifically told me to stop giving away my "Simple Options Trading For Beginners" book for free.
"Bill, you're leaving money on the table," she said. "That book sells for $29.97 on your website."
She's right. But here's what she doesn't understand...
Every trader I help avoid the mistakes I made is one less person who'll quit trading in frustration like I almost did decades ago.
So against her advice, I'm sending you this email.
Right now, you can grab a copy of the same book selling for $29.97 on our website... completely free.
It reveals the ONE options technique that took me 11 years to discover (and saves you from wasting time on the other 47 strategies that don't work).
Inside, you'll find out:
Why "more strategies" actually means "more losses"
The 10-minute nightly routine that replaced my 8-hour trading days
The specific market setup I look for (it's almost embarrassingly simple)
Good Trading,
Bill Poulos
P.S. You can buy this book right now for $29.97, or you can grab your free copy here.
