Hey Traders, Last week, Nvidia reported earnings. And I saw something that should be a wake-up call for anyone who thinks buying puts and calls is the easy way to riches. What’s an “Expected Move”? Options markets actually tell you what kind of move a stock should make by a certain date. You find it […]

Hey traders, A lot of folks get nervous when the market starts whipping around. Big swings… scary headlines… Powell opening his mouth at Jackson Hole… All of it can rattle you if you don’t have a plan. But here’s the truth: The more volatile a market gets, the juicier the options get. And when you’re […]

Hey Traders, You’ve probably heard me say it a thousand times: I like trends. I like volatile stocks. But at the same time, I don’t like too much volatility. And I don’t like stocks that don’t respect structure. That’s why today I want to talk about one of the weirdest trades that I make. And […]

Hey Traders, You might have heard people call me “the Income “Ace ” — and that’s because my main thing is selling option to create consistent income. Covered calls. Naked puts. Credit spreads. You name it — I’ve sold it. So it might surprise you to hear this, but… Sometimes, I buy options. Not often. […]

Hey Traders, It’s Memorial Day — and while the markets are closed today, I want to give you a quick heads-up before the new week kicks off tomorrow. This short week compresses market action into just four trading days. And if you’re trading options? That matters. Because with the extra day off, options premiums will […]

Hey Traders, It’s Tuesday — one of my favorite days of the week. You know why? Because every Tuesday, I put on a trade with calculated risk. A trade that stacks the odds in my favor before I even hit the confirm button. And today, I did it again. Now, I don’t like to take […]

Hey Traders, Today, I want to walk you through a trade my followers and I placed last week. It’s a perfect example of why I trade the way I do — and why my approach stacks the odds in our favor. The stock we traded was VRT (Vertiv Holdings), and if you look at the […]

Hey Traders, I get a lot of great questions from you guys, and the other day a reader wrote in with one that I think deserves a deeper dive. He wanted to know: Why do I talk so much about credit spreads and never about debit spreads? He even gave me an example — let’s […]

Hey traders, I’m still here in Rome, but I’m about to jump on a plane back to Florida soon, so this will be a quick update. If you’ve been following along, you’ve heard me talk about my “dip and rip” prediction for the markets. And from the looks of October’s trading action, it already seems […]
