Buy calls when sentiment is bad
Sell them when sentiment is good
Sell puts when sentiment is bad
Buy them back when sentiment is good
This is how you maximize human emotions to get the most bang for your buck with option premiums.

WHAT REALLY MOVES THE PRICES OF OPTIONS CONTRACTS:
(it's not just the share price)
1. Share Price.
2. Sentiment.
3. Implied Volatility.
4. Demand for the contract.
5. Duration.
6. Strike.
Use this to your advantage.

How to get rich in the stock market (simplified)
1. Buy great companies at good prices.
2. Only do 1+ year options on ultra high confidence setups.
3. Keep ratios in check.
4. Always be able to survive & capitalize in a 50% crash.
5. Keep emotions in check during volatility.
That's how you get rich my friends.

THE REAL RISK IS NOT BEING INVESTED...
Everyone talks about the risk of buying stocks.
Nobody talks about the risk of not owning them.
Missing the biggest technological wave ever created is a bigger risk than any short term volatility.
The upside is asymmetric.
The downside is temporary.
The future is obvious.
Buy great companies at good prices.
The question is whether you have the emotional control to benefit from it.

Think of every dollar you have as an employee.
You don’t want anyone slacking on the job.
Keep every single dollar working to multiple itself.
Money is a tool.
Use it.

🔴How to stop being a retail investor that underperforms the market in the long term:
Stop selling CSP's
Stop selling covered calls on bullish stocks
Stop day trading
Stop doing short duration options trades
Stop getting emotional with your investments
Stop following the broke herd
Instead, do this:
Sell portfolio secured puts (not cash secured)
Only sell CCs when bearish
Know what you own and why
Accept volatility as opportunity
Do duration plays because they are safer
Keep ratios in check.
Be patient

🟢ALWAYS ALLOCATE TO THE BEST EXPECTED FUTURE RETURNS.
Do not get attached to something where the story changed from when you bought it.
- Maybe the valuation doubled.
- Maybe competition is stiffer than expected.
- Maybe growth is unlikely to be durable.
Always re assess your current positions on a regular basis & look for better opportunities.

I SCALED MY TRADING ACCOUNT FROM NOTHING TO $1.3m IN A FEW YEARS DOING THIS SIMPLE STRATEGY:
(No luck required lol)
35% $VOO
35% $Q
30% in undervalued companies.
- Sell puts with strikes 10% ish below the current prices assuming market/company is near intrinsic value.
- Company must have a durable competitive advantage.
- 1+ year durations on all options
- Reinvest the put premiums back into more shares.
- Portfolio secured, not cash secured for puts.
KEEP IT SIMPLE GUYS

If you get value from my posts, you'll love my 10 Day Stock & Options Transformation Training.
No day trading.
No swing trading.
No BS.
Just straight up investing the right way.
Over the course of 10 days of training (you can do it faster if you want), you'll learn exactly how you can scale your portfolio to millions with Stocks & Options in a low risk way & get access to my mastermind Discord community.
This is the exact same system I have used for the last decade & scaled to millions with tens of thousands in monthly cash flow in a low risk way.
Get set up here:

Many people over complicate investing... LIKE BIG TIME.
You don't need 48 chart patterns & guess which one your company might be tracing...
NO.
What you do need is to find great companies at good prices.
Companies with a moat.
Companies with pricing power.
Companies that have a competitive advantage.
Companies that you are ok to hold long term.
While you can make money with complex short term strategies, 99.9% of people will not beat the SP500 in the long term doing it.
So why not buy the SP500 instead?
Well... The same reason Vegas is Vegas.
The herd loves the thrill of having the odds stacke

If this volatility scares you…
It’s because you are allocated to crap companies at crap valuations.
I sleep well at night.
Do you?

If the swings in the market from🟢 to 🔴 makes you nervous or you got "wiped out"
You need to take a hard look into your portfolio and re allocate to something more reasonable.
We are still close to ATHs so yes, it's still a good time to de risk!

I'll never criticize the new investor making $50/month selling options...
Unless they do covered calls or cash secured puts...
Then I will.
(those strategies are a trap)
Most new investors fall victim to this because it's viewed by the herd as "safe" and "low capital"
But in reality, it's a way to cap upside on a bullish company (covered call) & a way to sit on a bunch of cash when you are bullish on a company (cash secured put)
I haven't met a single person that made millions selling CCs or CSPs...
But I have personally made millions selling portfolio secured puts, not cash secured.
It will c
