Jack Carter Trading

Hey traders,

Last week I pulled about 8% in just three days on Broadcom (AVGO).

That’s not a bad sandwich.

And here’s the kicker: I’ll probably do it again this week.

I know 8% isn’t exactly a home run trade to most people. But this isn’t about home runs.

Because honestly… think about it. Home runs are special because they’re rare.

In baseball — and in trading — most of the points you rack up are made up by stacking base hits.

In other words, it’s not about being a hero. It’s about running a simple system of short-term option trades that you can rinse and repeat.

The Setup

I look for liquid, option-rich stocks with plenty of juice in the premiums. AVGO is one I go back to often — big name, strong movement, and tight spreads.

Instead of chasing a big directional move, I sell short-dated options — usually weeklys, or options expiring at the end of the week.

My goal is simple: collect premium up front and let time decay do the work.

Because in that last week before expiration, time decay really ramps up and puts the trades in an option seller’s favor.

Taking the Money Off the Table

When the trade goes my way and the premium collapses, I don’t hang around just to squeeze the last few pennies out of the trade.

I close the position, bank the profit, and get ready for the next one.

That’s where the “roll” comes in.

Rolling It Forward

Rolling just means I take the money from the old trade and put it into a new one, usually out to the next week.

It resets the clock, puts fresh premium in my account, and keeps the income stream flowing.

If you can clip 7–10% on a position in a matter of days, and then repeat that cycle week after week, it adds up faster than most people realize.

Remember, most long term investors are happy with 8% per year. If you’re able to get that in a week, you’re really cashing in bigtime.

The Takeaway

You don’t need to predict the next big market move to make money.

You just need a repeatable process:

Sell premium against strong stocks on short-dated options.
Take the money when it’s there.
Roll it forward and do it again.

That’s how I pulled 8% in three days last week. And it’s how I plan to keep pulling income as long as the market keeps handing me the setups.

Trade well,

Jack Carter

History has shown us a pattern with Big Tech…
Here’s how I’m arming myself for what’s to come this month.

To help you discover the power of trends, every week I share with you a handful of the top trending stocks.

These stocks are picked by my purpose-built, custom-made TrendPoint software to pick the strongest trending stocks in the market right now.

If you know anything about me, you know that every trade I get into starts with a trending stock.

Unless a stock is in a strong trend, I don’t want to hear about it. In my book, wishy washy stocks are the quickest way to losing money.

This Week’s Stocks

Think about all the bearish headlines you’ve seen over the past month or two.

All the reasons why “markets can’t go any higher!”

And despite that, the market just keeps on hitting new highs.

That’s why around here, we tune out the noise — and focus on the trend.

Right now the trend remains bullish, so we’re staying bullish.

Here are three tickers that just came across my scanner:

UPRO
NEM (on last week’s list, too!)
REZI

What can you do with these stocks?

Well, there are a couple of things you could consider — after doing your own research, of course:

Buy or short — For bullish stocks, this is probably the simplest thing you could do. Then just wait for it to go up and sell when you hit a profit target you’re comfortable with. This is only for upward-trending stocks we’re long on.

For downward-trending stocks (those that we’re bearish on), you can short them. This is a little more advanced, so if you’re just getting started, I wouldn’t recommend this play. Remember, just like buying a stock, shorting comes with unlimited risk if the stock moves against you, so always have a clear stop-loss in place.
You could buy an option.

For bullish stocks, this means buying a call option.
For bearish stocks, this means buying a put option.

You know I’m not a fan of speculative plays, but every once in a while it doesn’t hurt to throw a little cash at a speculative option. Just remember, while options can move bigtime if the stock goes up… the downside of options is that you have a time limit on how quickly you need the stock to make that move.

So think about your risk tolerance when you consider buying calls on bullish stocks or buying puts on bearish stocks.
You could collect instant income.

If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know that I’m a big fan of income plays, because they massively increase your odds of winning. We do this by SELLING options instead of buying them.

Not only do income plays let you get paid instantly — as soon as you place the trade. You massively increase your odds of winning, because the way we trade them, you don’t have to be 100% right about the direction of the stock.

If you haven’t tried your hand at income trading yet, I urge you to try this exercise for yourself. Without risking any money, it will really let you see the power of income trading and why it’s my favorite method.

Income plays on bullish stocks can be naked puts, covered calls or a bull put spread.

Income plays on bearish stocks will be a little more complicated. But if you’re a more advanced trader, you can look into doing a short term bear call spread, which involves selling an out-of-the-money call and buying a call one strike price higher.

That’s all for now.
