🟢Bull Market - I win
🔴Bear Market - I win
Capital appreciation or buying at a discount.
Always be positioned to win & never need the "market to do something in the short term to make your trade profitable"
That is DUMB.

How I Always "Keep My Ratios In Check"
🔴Expensive Market:
- Less sold puts
- Less LEAP calls
- Less high beta exposure
- More bonds
🟢Cheap market:
- More sold puts
- More LEAP calls
- More high beta exposure
- Less bonds
Of course there is more to the market than just expensive or cheap. The entire macro/economic thesis matters A LOT!
Unfortunately, most retail investors actually allocate the opposite of what I just said above simply cause they FOMO when things are going up & panic when things are going down.

🔴Since nobody else does it, I WILL.
(here's my past 5 year returns in my $1.3m account)
KEY WORD HERE: "5 YEARS"
Meaning through a bear market & a bull market.
Most of these ppl online came in to the market in the last 3 years & caught the bottom of the start of a raging bull market & know nothing about bear markets.
Every dip last 3 years? "V shape" recovery.
It won't always be like that!
Most of the newer "investors" can't even show you a 5 year CAGR cause they haven't been able to survive that long to show anything over 3 years of a raging bull market... Don't fall for it!

If you are ULTRA bullish🟢
1. Sell portfolio secured puts (not cash secured)
2. Take some of the premium and buy shares.
3. Take the rest of the premium and buy calls.
Most will do cash secured puts and miss the move on the company they are bullish on.
If you truly are bullish and did your homework, you would never want to have all that cash sitting there doing nothing.
Buy shares or calls with the premium & secure the trade with your base portfolio... NOT CASH.
As long as you keep your ratios in check, you'll never get in trouble... no matter what the market does!

🔴Selling covered calls is the most popular herd mentality "options strategy" on earth.
(BUT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM)
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

🔴If you sell cash secured puts, just know that you are making a MASSIVE mistake.
Selling puts means you are BULLISH on a company, yet you wanna let a bunch of cash sit there and do nothing...
Why not use the cash to buy shares of the company you are bullish on...
Secure the trade with that.
& guess what, you will not be on margin.
No margin interest.
Simply securing the puts with your portfolio, not cash.
Cause guess what, shares can be sold for cash if you gotta take assignment.
Many will say this is risky.
But you are simply wrong.
Keep your ratios in check.
Quality companies.

🔴Lot's of people ask me "what happens when the market crashes with portfolio secured puts, won't you get a margin call & get wiped out"
(the answer is no)
Let me explain.
First of all, nobody on earth knows what the market is going to do in the short term. This is why I do longer duration plays with a FAT margin of safety.
This is also why my ratios are always in check & I always assume the worst. Because when you're in this game long enough, worst case scenarios do happen.
I also take in to account the overall macro environment, economy, interest rates, labor market, inflation, valuations, A

🔴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

🟢Selling portfolio secured put options (not cash secured) when a quality company is trading below intrinsic value is the biggest hack to investing I have ever found.
PERIOD.

🔴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 problem.
There is a 99% 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

There will be a point in your life where you realize...
Going to work at your day job is actually costing you money to be there.
You'll realize your time is much more valuable than your hourly rate and you can produce MUCH more money investing or simply doing something else...

🟢Remember, as QUALITY companies fall in price, they get cheaper & safer.
That is the time to be greedy.
That is not the time to panic sell.
But most retail traders?
They will for sure panic sell.
So we simply capitalize on that.
We buy their share son sale.
We sell them portfolio secured puts for top dollar.
We buy their LEAP calls for bottom dollar.
Happens time & time again...

🔴Covered calls are one of the worst options strategies out there.
Why?
Because you are betting against yourself...
You own shares (bullish)
You sell calls (bearish)
How are you bullish & bearish at the same time...
Makes sere sense.
One of 2 things will likely happen to you.
1. Your shares will gap way up and you will be forced to sell them well below current market price. (most common)
2. Your shares will fall quite a bit and it woulda been much better to just sell the shares straight up instead of generating a little cash flow on the way down.

🔴When the market "crashes"
Everyone says "Buy the dip"
But do you know what it feels like to actually buy during a "meltdown" as an average retail investor?
- Your portfolio is red.
- The news says the world is ending.
- You second guess everything.
- You end up panic selling... at the exact wrong time.
Happens every cycle.
🟢Smart investors will:
- Buy shares while they are on sale.
- Buy calls when nobody wants them. (cheaper)
- Sell puts when the herd is paying top dollar for them. (selling for max premium)
I always say the emotional aspect of investing is what crushes most retail inves

🟢5 CRITICAL Things I Need Before I Invest In A Company:
1. Macro/Economic thesis must be good.
2. Company must be near intrinsic value.
3. Company must have a moat.
4. Company must have pricing power.
5. Company must have a durable competitive advantage.
If all 5 tests pass, I will allocate in a bullish way.
- Buying shares.
- Selling 1+ year portfolio secured puts (not cash secured)
- Buy LEAPS.
Then what?
I sit and be patient.
I let the company work for me.
I let the EPS climb.
I let the valuation bounce back to where it should be.
Once I capture the "majority of the expected move" I will t
