VISIONS 3.40

Beginning in 2002, Ron Groenke started developing a computer program to assist with his trading decisions. When he wrote his first book, The Money Tree, elements of the current program were made available. With each successive book, the computer program, VISIONS, grew in capabilities and functions. Now, in 2016 Ron has issued the latest update, VISIONS V3.40.

VISIONS V3.40 has all the past VISIONS capabilities plus a new Dashboard geared to the new Windows 10 touch environment. The classic version of VISIONS is accessible using the Start VISIONS green button. The new interface is accessible using the Start VISIONS Dashboard. With the Dashboard, you get the ease of use provided by the touchscreen technology. You can literally just touch your way into finding great covered call and naked put opportunities.

VISIONS V3.40 eliminates the drudgery of looking for the financial information for the companies that you might want to add to your prospect list. Some of the features include:
