Hey Traders,
Let me tell you something that applies to life and to trading:
It’s a whole lot easier to avoid being 100% wrong than it is to try and be 100% right.
Think about it…
You don’t have to know the exact minute it’s going to start raining — you just carry an umbrella and avoid getting soaked.
You don’t need to know if the steak is perfectly cooked in the middle — you just cut into it once and avoid sending it back.
You don’t have to know every turn on the highway — you follow a map, stay in your lane, and avoid ending up in a ditch.
But… when it comes to trading, the way most folks trade requires them to be perfect.
They need to nail everything perfectly:
- the direction
- the timing of the entry
- predicting events that are impossible to anticipate
- predicting the reaction to those events
But the market’s not giving you perfect setups right now.
It’s giving you chaos and drama.
One day Elon’s palling around with Trump and people think Tesla’s going to the moon.
The next day Trump throws him under the bus and Tesla sells off.
It’s been that kind of market lately — driven by headlines, full of overreactions, and tough to trust on any given day.
And that’s exactly why I prefer to trade for income.
When you structure your trades the way I do — selling options with cushion built in — you don’t need to be laser-precise.
You don’t have to pick the exact right stock and the right timing and look into the future…
You just have to avoid being 100% wrong.
And that’s a MUCH easier job.
You give yourself a buffer. You get paid up front. And you let time work in your favor instead of fighting it.
The news headlines and the chaos and the drama? Let the rest of the market chase it.
I’ll take steady income over headline whiplash every time.
Trade well,
Jack Carter
P.S. Here’s a perfect example of how I’m trading TSLA — one of the most volatile stocks in the market — without having to pick everything perfectly.
