People underestimate how much $1 can grow.
$1 invested at 11% annual returns turns into:
- $8.94 in 20 years
- $238 in 50 years
(brainless SP500 returns here)
BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY FOR YOU TO GET 20% PER YEAR...
$1 invested at 20% annual returns turns into:
- $53 in 20 years
- $20,283 in 50 years
(my CAGR in last 10 years is 24% FYI)
Now think about this:
Every dollar you spend on things you don’t need isn’t just a dollar lost today...
IT'S THOUSANDS LOST IN THE FUTURE...

🟢How to fix your portfolio for 2026:
NO Day trading
NO Swing trading
NO Covered calls
NO Cash secured puts
NO BS
INSTEAD, I DO THIS:
- Build base portfolio.
- Sell portfolio secured puts (not cash secured)
- Buy LEAPS with the premium from sold puts
- BUY shares with the premium from sold puts
(all options durations are 1+ year long)
(much safer, easier, profitable, & reproducible)
Simple wins.

If you put $100 into $NVDA in 2010, you would be rich today.
Well...
Let’s play it out if you somehow did nothing & held until right now.
You would have $230 by the end of 2015
and did nothing
Then watched that $230 climb to about $2,000 by the 2018 peak
and still did nothing
Then watched $2,000 get cut in half to under $1,000 in the late 2018 crash
and still did nothing
Then watched it rip to around $9,500 at the November 2021 peak
and still did nothing
Then watched $9,500 collapse to about $3,200 at the October 2022 bottom
and still did nothing
Then watched $3,200 explode to a little over $

I have over $2 MILLION bucks in the stock market in $VOO and $Q.
That will average 12% annually.
I’ll make $240k a year for doing nothing
This doesn't even account for the $25k+/mo I make with options
Fibonacci that!

HOW TO INVEST $100,000 RIGHT NOW IN 2026:
(works on any amount though)
$40k $VOO
$40k $Q
$20k individual companies
Sell 1 year puts portfolio secured, not cash secured on companies that meet this criteria:
1. Must be below intrinsic value.
2. Must have a moat.
3. Must have pricing power.
4. Must have a durable competitive advantage.
5. I must be ok to hold for the long run in the event I get assigned shares, I can use the wheel strategy and patiently "get rid" of the shares if I want.
Key Notes:
- Portfolio secured, not cash.
- I keep ratios in check so if I ever get assigned, my base portfoli

Mr. Market knocks on your door 600 times a day.
He offers you Apple at $200.
Then $150.
Then $250.
Then $180.
None of it is the true value.
Most people react to every knock.
Buy at $200. He says $150. They panic sell.
Market rebounds to $280. They chase back in.
Buy high. Sell low. Repeat forever.
Here is what I do.
I ignore his daily prices.
I watch the true fundamentals of the business.
& when he offers me something truly cheap I strike.
In investing you get no called strikes.
You can let 1,000 pitches go by.
Swing only at the fat ones.

Most investors love dividends.
I prefer share buybacks.
Here is why.
Company has $100 total earnings.
100 shares outstanding.
EPS = $1 per share.
Company buys back 10% of shares.
Now 90 shares outstanding.
Same $100 in earnings.
EPS = $1.11 per share.
That is a 10% boost in EPS without growing revenue by a single dollar.
EPS goes up.
Share price follows.
Always does in the long term.
& the best part?
You pay zero taxes on share price appreciation until you sell.
Dividends hit your tax bill every single quarter whether you spend them or not.
Apple buys back billions in stock every year.

Most people think bull markets and bear markets are random.
They usually are not.
The market follows EPS up and to the right in the long run.
When it gets stretched too far above the line — it snaps back.
When it gets stretched too far below the line — it snaps back up.
That is it. That is the whole game.
1999 — market was 24-25x PE.
Way above the line. Crashed 50%.
2022 — market stretched above the line.
Fell 35%.
Right now — market is a little above the line. Future returns will likely be below trend.
You do not have to call the exact top.
You do not have to call the exact bottom.

The S&P 500 has never once failed to hit new all time highs after a crash.
Not after 1987.
Not after 2000.
Not after 2008.
Not after 2020.
Not after 2022.
Every single time the experts said it was different this time.
Every single time they were wrong.
The crash feels like the end when you are in it.
Then you look back 5 years later & realize it was the best buying opportunity of your life.
The people who panicked out locked in permanent losses.
The people who had structure & stayed in made a killing.
Volatility is not the risk.
Permanent decisions made out of temporary fear is the risk.

YieldMax is paying a 40% dividend yield.
(here is what that actually means for your money)
$10,000 invested for 1 year.
Dividends reinvested.
YieldMax: down 43%.
You have $5,700.
Q: up 29%.
You have $12,900.
The yield is based on the current share price.
As NAV drops.
Your payout drops too.
10% of $100 = $10.
10% of $50 = $5.
That is the trap.
The yield looks great because the share price is falling. But don't be tricked... Its a percent of the lower share price... Not your basis.
Sell portfolio secured puts for income. Keep the growth. Best of both worlds.

The easiest way to know if the market is cheap or expensive.
One number. Free. Updated every week.
Go to Google.
Type "S&P 500 PE ratio Yardeni."
Click the first result.
Here is how to read it.
PE above 20-22:
Market is a little expensive. Future returns likely muted. De-risk a little. Less bullish options. Keep powder dry.
PE around 17-19:
Historical average. Fair value. Keep building the base portfolio & allocating options on ultra compelling setups.
PE below 14:
Market is cheap. Deploy capital. Sell portfolio secured puts. Buy calls. Keep ratios in check.
PE ratio is not the end all be all

I cannot tell you how many people told me they were smart for selling covered calls on Nvidia.
(until now)
They bought at $10.
Sold covered calls at $20.
"If it doubles I'm out. I made 100%. That's enough."
They doubled their money & got called out.
Then watched Nvidia go to $50.
Then $80.
Then over $200.
They left a 10x on the table chasing a little monthly premium.
Here is the rule.
If you are bullish on a company buy the shares & hold them.
Super bullish? Sell portfolio secured puts and buy calls.
If you are bearish, sell the shares & be done with it.
Covered calls cap your upside while giv

You are your environment.
If everyone around you thinks investing is too risky.
You will think investing is too risky.
If everyone around you has a net worth of $5M+.
You will start asking why you do not.
I grew up in a small city in Ohio.
Nobody around me was building wealth.
Nobody was investing.
Nobody was thinking bigger.
I moved to Vegas.
Changed my environment.
Changed my circle.
Started being around people who made me feel behind.
That feeling is worth more than any course you will ever take.
Get in rooms where you are not the smartest person.
Get around people who make you uncomfort

The 5 most popular option strategies ranked.
(only 1 actually works long term)
🔴 D tier — Covered calls. Bullish with one hand. Cap your upside with the other. Doesn't protect downside. Usually makes no sense....
🔴 C tier — Cash secured puts. Bullish to sell put, but sitting in cash doing nothing while the stock runs.
🟡 B tier — Buying puts. You're betting against every CEO whose job is to prove you wrong.
🟡 A tier — Buying calls. Better but timing still has to be perfect. Hard to do consistently.
🟢 S tier — Portfolio secured puts + LEAPS + shares. This is what scaled me to 7 figures th

The wheel strategy sounds good on paper.
Sell a put. Get assigned. Sell covered calls. Repeat.
Here is the problem.
You sell a $600 Q put. Collect $682.
The cash securing that trade? $60,000 sitting idle.
That is 1% per month. 12% annualized.
Meanwhile the NASDAQ went up 134% in 3 years.
You did all that work.
You stressed about every earnings report.
You hit trade after trade after trade.
You underperformed buy-and-hold by 90% in 3 years.
And when the market falls 35% you are not in capitalization mode.
You are in survival mode.
Trying to wheel out of assigned shares.
Missing the entire rebou

I sold a put on Nvidia.
Here is exactly what happened.
Nvidia was below the EPS growth line.
I acted.
Premium collected instantly: $25,000.
Cash in my account: $0.
What a cash secured put would have needed: $150,000 sitting idle.
What I did with the $25,000:
Bought Nvidia LEAP calls with part of it.
Bought Nvidia shares with the rest.
My base portfolio secured the put.
Not $150,000 in cash.
Every dollar worked on the way up.
Sold put.
Collected premium.
Bought shares & calls.
Everything worked.
Ratios in check to manage risk
That is the whole system in one trade.

Nobody talks about the real cost of cash secured puts.
You sell a put & lock $10,000 in cash as collateral.
The stock you are supposedly bullish on runs 40%
You collected $300 in premium & missed $4,000 in upside.
(Every. Single. Time.)
Now do that for 10 years straight.
That gap is not small.
That gap is your entire retirement.
Sell portfolio secured puts & collect the premium without sacrificing the position.
