Hey Traders,
If you’re just looking at the headlines, you probably think the market’s a disaster right now.
Volatility’s through the roof… stocks whipping around like crazy…
But me? I’m loving it.
Because if you know what you’re doing — and you’re set up the right way — this market’s a gold mine.
Let me show you why.
Covered Calls Are Ringing the Register
First off — covered calls.
I’ve been selling calls like crazy against my long positions — and the premiums I’m getting are some of the highest I’ve ever seen.
In fact, the calls I sold on Nvidia recently?
Highest price per call I’ve ever locked in — ever.
That’s the beauty of volatility for an options seller.
I’m not selling my shares. Why would I? That cash flow is too good to give up.
So while other folks are panicking, I’m just stacking monthly income — riding the volatility wave.
Naked Puts Paying Out Big
What else?
I’ve got a naked put on PLTR, for example, with a $76 strike. That thing is cranking out a yield north of 30% annualized.
Might not even get assigned the shares — and that’s fine by me.
Because the premium was so rich, I’m making great money just for taking the risk.
Same story with IBIT.
This market is offering opportunities you don’t normally get — you just have to know where to look.
Buying Quality Stocks on Sale
And when it comes to actually buying stocks?
I’m not guessing. I’m focusing on quality — names like Exxon (XOM) and McDonald’s (MCD).
Both of those I recently added to my dividend portfolio.
Because if you’re gonna buy something in a rough market, it better be strong, profitable, and paying you while you wait.
Spreads That Work in Any Market
And of course, let’s not forget my bread and butter: my credit spreads.
With these, I can be in and out in 3 days.
Plus, I love that these work in a bear market just as well as a bull market.
You don’t have to sit out. You don’t have to wait around for the “perfect” market.
You just trade what’s in front of you — and keep stacking premium while everyone else cries into their keyboard.
Final Thoughts: Why I’m Staying Aggressive
Bottom line:
If you’re disciplined — and you’re trading the right strategies — this market is a gift.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to lean into the volatility, sell smart premium, and keep letting time and math do the heavy lifting.
That’s exactly what I’m doing.
Stay tuned — because the way this market’s moving, the next setup is always right around the corner.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
P.S. Tesla reported earnings today… and no matter which way it ultimately goes, here’s the way I’m trading it!
