Hey traders, New highs make people nervous. I get it. You hear “bubble,“ you hear “it can’t keep going,“ and pretty soon you’re white-knuckling every tick.

Hey traders, If you’ve been around here for more than 5 minutes, you know I’m not the guy drawing a hundred lines on a chart and trying to make predictions.

Hey traders, Everybody knows dividend stocks can pay you cash every quarter. That’s fine… but for me, dividends alone aren’t enough. I want steady rent money coming in month after month — not just a trickle four times a year. That’s why I combine dividend stocks with options. Collecting Rent Two Ways Here’s the setup: […]

Hey traders, There’s been plenty of anxiety about the S&P 500 lately, so let’s look at what the market is actually telling us. SPY, the ETF that tracks the S&P 500 tick-for-tick, has been grinding higher on a six-month view. Each pullback has found support at my short-term moving average — the 20 day — […]

Hey traders, For months I’’’ve heard the same drumbeat: “Big drop coming. Any day now.” Meanwhile… the market keeps walking higher, pulling back, then grinding again. And last week the Fed cut rates — which, nine times out of ten, is taken as bullish. Cue another round of headlines, commentary, and scary thumbnails. Here’s my […]

Hey traders, When most folks look at a stock, they only focus on the price. But if you’re trading options, there’s another number that should always be on your radar: beta. What Beta Tells You Beta measures volatility. By definition, the S&P 500 has a beta of 1. That volatility is what drives option prices. […]
