All right, guys. AI stocks are coming

0:01

down, and I see a really big

0:03

opportunity. Today's video is going to

0:05

be on IREN stock and what I am

0:07

personally doing with a position that

0:08

I'm holding. And I also want to discuss

0:10

using the wheel strategy on IREN because

0:13

this stock has a lot of volatility, and

0:14

selling premiums has been a very

0:16

interesting opportunity that I've been

0:17

looking at that I'm implementing myself.

0:19

And right now, you're basically going to

0:21

get a better price because I have a 50

0:23

sell put on IREN, which I'm currently

0:25

running the wheel on, but I want to show

0:26

you a new position that I plan to open

0:28

up since IREN stock has essentially

0:30

crashed. Now, this is a really

0:31

high-quality company, and it has

0:33

essentially taken the elevator down or

0:35

the parachute down if you watched my

0:36

video yesterday. Went from $68 per share

0:39

down to $47. Now, as you can see, this

0:42

is a very violent and very volatile move

0:45

from IREN. IREN owns large amounts of

0:47

access to low-cost energy, and they're

0:49

essentially arbitraging. They're taking

0:51

low energy and then selling it for a

0:52

higher price. I really like this play

0:54

because they have a lot lower risk than

0:56

some of the other AI stocks. And seeing

0:58

the price under $50, I believe it's an

1:00

absolute steal because this company is

1:02

really good at arbitraging and finding

1:03

cheap energy. Well, specifically, power

1:06

is the bottleneck, and that's actually

1:07

why IREN is my favorite stock to be

1:09

invested in. So, let me show you kind of

1:11

step-by-step how I'm doing my wheel

1:13

strategy on IREN. Let me show you kind

1:15

of an interesting way to look at this.

1:16

So, first of all, stock under $50. I

1:19

have $50 sell puts. I'm down on the

1:21

position so far, but with the wheel

1:22

strategy, we are not concerned with

1:24

getting assigned, okay? Whenever we sell

1:26

a put option using the wheel strategy,

1:28

which is the first step, we don't mind

1:30

assignment in a majority of cases. In

1:32

this case, I actually am very happy to

1:34

own IREN. I want to show you kind of a

1:36

new position that I would open up today.

1:38

So, I'm going to go to trade options,

1:40

and I'm going to go to sell put option.

1:42

I'm going to also talk about the delta

1:43

that I'm choosing, and you'll see kind

1:44

of why I'm going for a higher delta. So,

1:46

look, check this out. IREN currently is

1:48

pretty low, and it's at the bottom of

1:49

its Bollinger Band. I really believe

1:50

we're at a support level right now,

1:52

either right at the support level, like

1:54

literally at $47. Now, when the market

1:56

opens up, the stock could go low, right?

1:58

I'm not a genie, I can't predict the

1:59

future. Maybe we go below the Bollinger

2:01

Band and also the RSI is 38. Potentially

2:03

we go to 30 RSI, right? So, maybe the

2:05

stock goes down to 45. But, the whole

2:07

point is that we're probably somewhere

2:09

near support levels, right? Whether it's

2:11

47 or 45 dollars. I actually think it's

2:14

even higher than that and we're like

2:15

below this is very unusual because you

2:17

can see a pretty hard bounce here from

2:19

like $47 here back in May 19th. So, it's

2:22

been about 6 weeks since May 19th as of

2:24

making this video basically in early

2:26

July, right? We're almost in July. We're

2:27

like at the end of June. So, what I see

2:29

happening is that the stock ran up.

2:31

There's a lot of investor enthusiasm

2:33

here and and lately the stock market has

2:35

been having a lot of volatility. Now, I

2:37

think the Iran situation is part of

2:38

that. I think also there's just

2:40

volatility in the market and people are

2:41

getting a little bit spooked. And of

2:42

course, when there's negative sentiment

2:44

in the market, everything gets sold off.

2:45

So, I don't think this is a justified

2:47

sell-off for Iran, which is why I want

2:49

to look at this sell put position. I'm

2:50

going to go for an expiration date

2:52

that's going to go out for August 21st.

2:54

This is like a 53-day option. Now, look,

2:56

you can go shorter term as well.

2:57

Whenever you're running the wheel

2:58

strategy, the whole point is you want to

3:00

create a system a process to basically

3:02

get in a stock by selling put options.

3:04

Eventually you will get assigned no

3:05

matter how low delta you go, you will

3:07

eventually get assigned. Once you are

3:08

assigned, essentially now you have

3:10

shares. Well, how do you generate income

3:11

from shares that you have in a stock?

3:13

Well, that's by selling covered calls,

3:15

right? Because you have shares, now you

3:16

sell a call option giving your rights

3:18

away to someone else call that stock

3:20

away from you if it breaches your strike

3:22

price, right? So, if I sell and I'll let

3:24

me just go step by step here. So, look,

3:26

I'm going to go to sell put option and

3:27

I'm going to go for a put option here

3:28

that's going to be at 47. So, the 47 put

3:31

option, man, that premium. That premium

3:33

is bicep or tricep, baby. I'm sorry if

3:36

I'm being cheesy, but I'm just trying to

3:37

have some fun with it. You guys in the

3:38

comment section, your biceps are small.

3:40

Hey, I'm I'm working on it. I'm working

3:42

on it. But, I'm trying to have some fun

3:43

here and make some money at the same

3:44

time. So, if you appreciate that, just,

3:46

you know, like the video. But, look, $47

3:48

strike price, the premium, oh my

3:51

goodness. This is an insane premium. If

3:53

we were to do this like, you know, 755

3:55

and the max loss here is 3900. Don't

3:57

look at the max loss as the max loss

3:58

because the max loss is referring to if

3:59

the stock goes down to zero, which I

4:01

mean, can IREN go down to zero? Sure,

4:04

very unlikely, but you see what I'm

4:05

saying? You don't want to really look at

4:06

it as the maximum loss, the worst-case

4:08

scenario. You want to look at what's

4:09

more likely to happen. Can IREN come

4:11

down? It can come down and you would get

4:13

assigned, but you're only really having

4:15

to put up 3945 in terms of cap, which is

4:18

pretty insane considering this is a $47

4:21

strike price. You're going from 47 all

4:23

the way down to under 40 in terms of

4:25

your average cost if you get assigned

4:27

because the premium is so

4:29

so bellissimo, right? If you've been to

4:31

Italy, it's like the Italian pizza, the

4:33

the buffalo cheese, right? Just the

4:35

extra margarita sauce. It's just I don't

4:37

know. This is like, why am I making a

4:38

video on IREN? Because I love the stock

4:40

for a couple of reasons. They're really

4:42

good at arbitraging low electricity cost

4:44

and selling it for high, that's in high

4:46

demand. And the stock is capitalizing on

4:48

one of the biggest bottlenecks in AI

4:49

right now. So look, if I expand this

4:51

option right here, right? Has a 40

4:52

delta. Now, the reason why I don't mind

4:54

going for a higher delta here is again,

4:56

I want to get assigned into IREN. That's

4:58

my goal because once infrastructure is

5:00

built out, higher utilization can

5:02

significantly improve profitability. And

5:03

that is what I think is the next step

5:05

for IREN right now. I think it's going

5:06

to become a much more profitable

5:07

company. So getting in at $47 per share

5:10

here is fine and has a high delta. Now,

5:12

that's why the premium is also higher.

5:14

Risk and return are kind of correlated,

5:16

guys, in basic finance 101 or economics

5:18

101. Risk and return go hand in hand,

5:20

right? If it's low risk, then it's

5:22

probably lower return. If it's higher

5:24

risk, then it's going to be higher

5:25

return, right? These two things

5:26

correlated, I mean, they go hand in

5:28

hand. Not one-to-one ratio, right?

5:30

Higher risk does not mean, you know,

5:31

three times higher risk does not mean

5:32

three times higher return, okay? What it

5:34

could mean is two times higher risk,

5:36

three times higher return. That is

5:37

possible, right? So I'm looking for

5:39

asymmetric upside given the level of

5:41

risk that I'm taking. So in terms of

5:42

position size that I would take on this,

5:43

I would simply go 5% of my portfolio.

5:45

That's pretty much what I feel very

5:47

comfortable with. So, look, if I sell

5:48

this 47 put option, that's the premium

5:50

I'm getting. That's step number one.

5:52

Now, step number two is essentially

5:53

you're waiting. If it's out of the

5:55

money, then you're fine. You don't do

5:56

anything, right? If the option expires

5:57

out of the money, so on August 21st, you

5:59

don't do anything, right? You don't

6:00

really need to manage this trade earlier

6:02

either because when I use the wheel

6:03

strategy, I'm not trying to actively

6:05

trade the wheel strategy. I'm using the

6:07

wheel strategy to more so go for more

6:08

passive income approach. So, I'm looking

6:10

at high-quality companies and those

6:12

high-quality companies like Iran it's

6:14

not a mega cap max seven stock. So, it's

6:16

a high-quality company that has higher

6:18

risk. This has high implied volatility.

6:20

You can actually see right here the

6:21

implied volatility is 117. So, if you're

6:23

like, "Hey Uncle Henry, I've been

6:24

looking to you know, I've been looking

6:26

to buy stuff over try stuff make some

6:27

gains." Well, high implied volatility

6:29

will do that. High implied volatility is

6:31

what helps you make more gains because

6:33

it has higher premium because it's

6:35

higher risk. Implied volatility is

6:36

essentially risk. That's all it is,

6:37

right? Implied volatility is how much a

6:39

stock is likely to move within the next

6:41

30 days based off of investors'

6:43

opinions, right? So, there's a bunch of

6:44

people in the market, market makers,

6:46

investors, hedge funds, algorithms, they

6:48

deem this risk to be about 117% over the

6:51

next 30 days. That's pretty much what

6:52

implied volatility stands for to make it

6:54

like a short and sweet answer. So, this

6:56

is like three times more risk than a

6:58

majority of stock. However, Iran has

7:00

been fairly stable. I get it the stock

7:02

is down a bunch, but if you actually

7:03

look here in this six-month chart, the

7:05

stock has gone from, you know, a little

7:07

bit sub 40 to $47. And at one point,

7:10

this stock was at, you know, 67 plus

7:12

dollars per share. So, I really like it

7:14

right now in terms of the valuation, the

7:16

fundamental valuation, and on a

7:18

technical basis, I like to see this

7:20

company that has fallen below the moving

7:22

average. The moving average here is

7:23

$54.80.

7:25

So, when I look at an opportunity, I

7:26

want to look for a cheaper opportunity,

7:28

right? I don't know if it's super cheap.

7:29

This is not the cheapest stock in the

7:31

world because it has a higher valuation.

7:32

This is not a Coca-Cola. So, after I

7:34

sell a put option, either it doesn't

7:36

happen, it expires out of the money, or

7:38

expires in the money and I get assigned,

7:39

then congratulations, I got assigned.

7:41

Great. So, then what I go ahead and do

7:43

is I just switch the table and I go to

7:45

sell call option. Now, the whole thing

7:46

with selling a call option, I like to go

7:47

for lower delta. The reason for a lower

7:50

delta though is because I want room for

7:52

upside, okay? So, let's say like right

7:54

now we got assigned on I rent. We have

7:56

100 shares, okay? Let's go into the you

7:58

know, third step of the wheel strategy.

8:00

We're thinking, should we sell calls or

8:01

should we wait? Um is this stock going

8:03

to recover? Well, the honest truth is it

8:06

can be very difficult to predict what

8:07

can happen with the stock, right? It's

8:09

very difficult to stock market can be

8:10

very random and I mean you've seen that

8:12

situation many times, right? I'm not

8:14

going to waste time on that. But, if the

8:15

stock is at the bottom of its Bollinger

8:17

Band, in this case, I would not sell

8:19

covered calls at all. I'm going to be

8:21

honest with you. I'm going to kind of

8:22

mess up this video, but I would not

8:24

fully run the wheel strategy right away

8:26

if the stock's at the bottom of its

8:27

Bollinger Band. As it comes up, I would

8:29

likely sell a lower delta, okay? So,

8:31

let's say that we got assigned, we wait

8:33

a little bit, we have a little bit of an

8:35

increase, then we go in for a sell call

8:37

option. So, we can go for a sell call

8:39

option here. It's a little bit difficult

8:41

because you can actually see the strike

8:42

here is 50 and then it skips to 55. I

8:44

ideally want something in between. I'm

8:46

going to show you kind of an interesting

8:47

way you can do that. Look, 50 gives you

8:49

some room for upside, but not too much

8:51

and 55, I would say that, you know, can

8:53

it go to 55? It can, but if you want

8:55

something in the middle ground, what you

8:56

can also do is let's say you have two

8:58

contracts, right? You have 200 shares of

9:00

I rent, right? You can also do two of

9:01

these. So, you can do one of this. Now,

9:02

this is really interesting cuz if you

9:04

think about it, if one is at 50 and

9:05

one's at 55, or the blended average

9:07

strike price is actually 52 and a half.

9:09

So, you could always like do this as a

9:11

strategy as well. Like something maybe

9:13

new that you haven't really learned yet

9:14

is if you have one strike price that's

9:17

50 and one strike that's, you know, 55,

9:19

it's basically just a mixed average

9:21

strike price of 52 and a half. So, you

9:22

can always kind of like mix up your

9:24

strike price by just having multiple

9:26

orders, multiple different contracts at

9:28

different strike prices. I actually

9:29

really like this not only for um you

9:31

know, different strike prices, but I

9:32

actually would do something like this.

9:33

So, look, I'm going to leave 50 on,

9:35

right? And then for 55, I can actually

9:37

go for a different expiration. So, I can

9:38

even go for like September 18th. So, if

9:40

you have 200 shares of IREN, right?

9:42

Let's say you get assigned 200. You can

9:43

even mix it up with the wheel strategy.

9:45

You can sell different strike prices

9:46

across different expiration dates. The

9:48

whole point that I'm trying to get

9:49

across here, so yeah, I can do 55. The

9:50

whole point that I'm trying to get

9:51

across here is the wheel is a really

9:53

good system and strategy to get into a

9:55

stock. You pick the price, you pick the

9:56

strike price, right? So, that is

9:58

essentially your price that you get in

9:59

at. Of course, you want to, you know,

10:00

take in the premium. So, the premium

10:02

that you get, you can just subtract that

10:03

off your, you know, strike price. So,

10:05

you know, like I just showed you, if we

10:06

sold a 47 put option we got over seven

10:08

bucks, then our effective average cost

10:10

is under 40, right? That's why I think

10:12

on IREN it just makes so much sense

10:14

because the implied volatility is high.

10:15

You can see here the implied volatility

10:17

is still like around 113, 114 for the 55

10:20

strike. So, essentially once I have sold

10:22

the covered call, again, I'm just

10:24

patiently waiting. I'm just patiently

10:25

waiting. I'm hands-off because I want

10:27

high returns. I love making, you know, a

10:29

bunch of money. That's one of my goals.

10:31

That's what I do for my community. I'm

10:33

always trading live. Like today, later

10:35

today, it's Monday. I'm going to be

10:36

trading live for my community. I'm going

10:38

to essentially make three to five trades

10:39

today. My community is going to be able

10:41

to see that, pretty much follow along,

10:43

and that's our goal. Our goal is to

10:44

place high-quality trades and be winning

10:47

on those trades. Now, when I look at

10:49

IREN, I'm pretty excited about opening

10:51

this position later today. So, I just

10:52

wanted to share this on YouTube.

10:53

Anyways, I don't want to make this video

10:54

too long. I didn't prepare for it or

10:56

really like script anything. I'm just

10:57

going just randomly off the top of my

10:59

head pretty much what my thoughts are

11:01

for one of the trades that I'm going to

11:02

make today. So, if you appreciate this

11:04

kind of analysis, you want to learn more

11:05

about the wheel strategy, want to see

11:07

the trades that I'm making, want to see

11:08

I'm doing. But either way, I hope that

11:16

you found a lot of value in this video.

11:19

about the wheel strategy, I have a full
