Why This Market Is a Gift for Smart Traders

March 13, 2025

Hey Traders,

As you can see from the video above, I’m sending you this update from Clearwater Beach, Florida — and let me tell you, today’s market action reminds me a lot of these waves crashing onshore.

The Dow is down another 400-500 points…
All three indexes are sitting below every major trendline…
And there’s really no support in sight.

It’s a rough ride.

But if you know what you’re doing, markets like this can be a gift.

Here’s why…

1) Dividend Investors Are Loving This Market

Look, I know most traders hate watching stocks drop.

But for dividend re-investors? This is a dream come true.

Because when stocks fall, dividend payments buy you more shares at a cheaper price — it’s like traveling back in time and picking up stocks at last year’s prices.

And for those of us playing the long game, that’s a massive advantage.

2) The Market Is on Edge — And That Creates Opportunity

Here’s the thing about selloffs like this…

Markets don’t go straight down forever.

They get volatile.

And when that happens?

It creates incredible opportunities for option sellers like us.

On Monday, we saw a record number of put options bought.
That’s usually a sign we’re nearing the end of the selling.
Because let’s be honest — most of those traders are going to be wrong.

That’s why I’m not buying puts.

I’m selling options and stacking cash flow instead.

3) Selling Options in This Market = Huge Premiums

Right now, both puts and calls have sky-high premiums.

And that makes selling options one of the best plays on the board.

Because when you’re selling, you:

✔ Give yourself the best odds in the market.
✔ Collect income upfront — no waiting, no hoping.
✔ Put yourself in the best position to win, no matter what the market does next.

And that’s why I love trading for income.
