🔴If you held a gun to my head and said "Brandon, beat the market in the next 10 years or you are dead"
I would say, no prob.
There is a 99.9% chance I will.
This is exactly how.
First off, "the market" is the SP500.
We will say I have a $1m account to start.
The first thing I would do to beat the market is to simply buy the market.
So I would buy $1m of $VOO (sp500 ETF)
Second, just buying the market via $VOO will actually underperform a tad because of the expense ratio... no prob
So here is the spot that matters to beat it.
In that 10 year period, I would be patient, sitting, & waiting for a

🟢There is only 1 options strategy that works in the next market crash.
Wanna know what it is?
It's the one where your ratios are in check & there is no amount of market volatility that can wipe you out.
No margin calls.
No sleepless nights.
No selling at the bottom to de risk.
It's the one that actually makes you get excited when the market is crashing because you are ready to capitalize.
That my friends is the one that will take you well on your way to many millions.

If you’re serious about building wealth, don’t ask what car someone drives or how big their house is.

Ask how they INVEST.
Ask how they THINK.
Ask how they manage RISK.
Everybody wants the lifestyle, but few want the discipline that creates it.

🟢Warren Buffett became one of the richest people on earth by compounding at an annual growth rate of 19.9%.
What does this tell you?
Why aren't day/swing traders all billionaires?
Why do we see all of their wins?
Why do we not see their losses?
One word.
CONSISTENCY
Warren compounded at 19.9% since 1965.
Anyone can get great returns in bull markets (like right now)
But most will simply not survive the bad times...
That is what makes investors great.

🔴Many people think more trades = more money.
This is because of the day job trap.
More money spent at day job = more money made.
You are correct.
Humans correlate more work = more money.
But with investing, it's the complete opposite.
You need to buy good companies at good prices & use options on ultra high confidence plays.
Then what?
BE PATIENT
Let them grow their revenue
Let the become more efficient.
Let them grow their EPS.
When EPS goes up, guess what the stock price does in the long term?
IT GOES UP
This is why I preach 1+ year options contracts is the only way to go.
You have the tail

🔴If you do spreads with stock options, you are making a MAJOR mistake!
Let's take put credit spreads as an example:
1. You sell a put & collect $1,000 in premium.
2. You buy a put & pay $900 in premium
Net credit is $100. Simple.
BUT! Just by looking at that, doesn't it look conflicting to you?
🟢Selling puts = bullish
🔴Buying puts = bearish
If you are bullish, why on earth would you want to buy a put... DUMB. Do you ever see Warren Buffett buy a stock (cause he is bullish) then immediately buy a put under "just is case"
NEVER!
He just bought Google & United Health.
Did they also buy puts "j

🔴Selling covered calls is the most popular herd mentality "options strategy" on earth.
Let me explain.
Covered calls means you own the shares, that's what makes it covered.
If you own the shares, you are bullish right?
Hope so!
So what does selling calls actually mean?
Well, you are agreeing to sell your shares at a certain price in a certain timeframe.
Sounds good right?
You get to sell your shares for a profit and collect the premium.
In theory, sure.
But in the real world, there is a MAJOR problem.
CAPPING YOUR UPSIDE!
I can't tell you how many people I have talked to that bought shares ca

If poor mans covered calls are so good, why aren't they called rich mans covered calls?
Oh...
Prob cause they don't work.
Don't fall victim to this trap.
I have a YouTube video dropping in a few days debunking this one too.

Can Elon make $TSLA more valuable in 1 month?
🔴NO
Can Elon make $TSLA more valuable in 1 year?
🟢YES
So why are you doing short duration options plays if the companies true fundamental value is not changing in a month.
Extend your time horizon.
Do 1 year contracts at a minimum so you have the tailwind of growth behind you.
Longer is MUCH safer, scalable reproducible, and less work.
But for whatever reason people think more trades and more work = more money...
Actually the complete opposite.

🔴RETAIL INVESTORS SIMPLY DO STOCK OPTIONS COMPLETELY BACKWARDS...
(Let's run through an example)
When the market is falling.
Retail investors want to buy puts.
That bids up the put premiums.
That makes put more expensive.
They are buying puts as the market is getting cheaper and safer (falling)
We will use this to our advantage.
Instead of bring like the herd & buying puts when things are falling and becoming cheaper/safer.
We will sell puts usually with a duration of a year other than longer. (MUCH SAFER AND EASIER TO REPRODUCE)
We will collect max premium and reinvest that back I to the com

How to allocate in an expensive market vs cheap market.
🔴Expensive:
Lower beta
Less LEAP calls
Less sold puts
More bonds
🟢Cheap:
Higher beta
More LEAP calls
More sold puts
Less/no bonds
Right now?
Market is a little expensive.
But nothing too crazy.
Expect volatility & be prepared to capitalize.

🔴More Trades Does Not = More Money
It's actually the complete opposite.
Stop gambling with your hard earned money.
Instead, buy good companies at good prices & use options to magnify ultra high confidence plays.
Be patient and let the plays work.
Don't refresh 8 times a day...

🟢Keep your emotions in check.
Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.
When you find compelling set ups:
1. Sell 1+ year portfolio secured puts. (not CSP)
2. Take part of that cash flow to buy shares.
3. Take part of the cash flow to buy LEAP calls.
Then be patient and let the plays work.
Simple.

Just because you decided to buy a company or do an options play, does NOT mean you're going to go green every day from that point.
You need to ride the volatility.
It's a normal part of the game.
Volatility = opportunity, not risk.
Long term, if you entered at a decent spot on a good company, it's very likely the shares will be up and to the right.
Be patient.

🟢Remember, as QUALITY companies fall in share price, they become cheaper & safer.
This is the time to be greedy.
This is the time to sell portfolio secured puts.
This is the time to buy calls.
This is the time to buy shares.
The is the time to capitalize when the average retail investor is panicking.

🔴Please... Just Stop
Stop selling CSP's
Stop selling covered calls on bullish stocks
Stop day trading
Stop doing short duration options trades
Stop getting emotional with your investments
Stop following the broke herd
Instead, do this:
Sell portfolio secured puts
Only sell CCs when bearish
Know what you own and why
Accept volatility as opportunity
Do duration plays because they are safer
Keep ratios in check.
Be patient

🟢The number one thing that moves the price of a stock in the long run:
Do you know what it is?
Bollinger bands?
RSI?
VWAP?
Fibonacci?
Nope...
🟢EARNINGS PER SHARE
That is what matters!
The profits!
Buy good companies at good prices and as EPS grows, the stock price will follow it in the long term.
Short term will be volatile & that is ok!
Use that to capitalize.
