I've made over $800,000 personally

0:02

running one strategy over and over on AI

0:05

stocks and other high growth names. And

0:07

that strategy is the wheel strategy.

0:09

Now, even if you've heard about the

0:11

strategy before, the way a lot of videos

0:13

on YouTube go over it is completely

0:15

wrong. And the way that I run the wheel

0:17

strategy, I know for a fact is different

0:20

from everyone else. And I'm not going to

0:22

hold back. I'm going to reveal

0:23

everything in this video. Specifically,

0:26

I've been running this strategy on AI

0:28

stocks such as Palunteer, Nvidia, and

0:30

Nebius. I'll explain later with examples

0:32

within my own personal portfolio. Now, I

0:35

think everyone watching wants the same

0:37

basic thing, a portfolio that actually

0:39

does something for you without needing

0:40

to be right about every single market

0:42

move. Okay, I get that. If that's you,

0:45

thank goodness because this video is

0:46

about a system and process that I have

0:48

been using to repeatedly use the wheel

0:50

strategy and get into stocks without

0:52

having to do much guesswork. And I spent

0:54

over a decade in this business,

0:56

including some time on Wall Street. And

0:57

if there's one thing that stuck with me

0:59

is that you don't need to predict the

1:00

market to have a plan for it. You need a

1:03

process. So, here's what we're going to

1:04

do. I'm going to break down exactly what

1:06

this strategy is in plain English,

1:08

right? From scratch, no assumptions.

1:11

Then, I'm going to show you why I'm

1:13

picking these three stocks to run the

1:14

wheel strategy on them right now. I'm

1:17

going to go over each one with technical

1:19

analysis as well as a strike selection

1:21

that I choose. getting into the trade,

1:23

managing the trade, common mistakes that

1:25

you can make if you're already running

1:26

the wheel strategy, and then I'm going

1:28

to show you a special process that I

1:30

haven't covered in any other YouTube

1:31

video, even in my other wheel strategy

1:33

videos. So, I respect your time. After

1:35

we go over the foundation, we're going

1:37

to go over some real trades like

1:39

Palunteer, Nvidia, and Nibbius, real

1:41

strikes, real numbers, exactly what I

1:43

do, and what I'm currently doing. So,

1:45

what is the wheel strategy? So, let's

1:47

back up for a second and discuss what

1:49

the wheel strategy is and how smart

1:51

investors are adapting in the market

1:53

with the wheel strategy given so much

1:55

volatility lately because I don't want

1:56

to lose anyone and there's a lot more

1:58

foundation that you can build from the

2:00

wheel strategy even if you think that

2:01

you're already doing it successfully.

2:03

So, the wheel strategy involves using

2:04

stock option contracts and also

2:06

potentially buying regular stock. Sounds

2:08

complicated, but in reality it is

2:10

actually pretty simple. An option in the

2:12

most basic form is just a contract. We

2:14

give someone the right to buy or sell a

2:16

stock at a specific price by a specific

2:19

date. That's it. The specific price

2:21

written into that contract is called the

2:23

strike price. Think of it very similar

2:25

as two sides of a contract. So in that

2:27

contract there is a buyer and seller and

2:29

they agree on the price. And when you

2:30

sell one of these contracts to someone

2:32

else, they pay you for it upfront. That

2:34

payment is called the premium. If you're

2:36

buying a contract then is your paying

2:38

premium and that is a debit. If you are

2:40

collecting income and you're selling an

2:42

option, that is a credit. That's the

2:44

money that changes hands the moment the

2:45

trade is placed regardless of what

2:47

happens after. Now, the version of this

2:49

that I use most is called a cash secured

2:51

put. A put is an option tied to selling

2:54

a stock at that strike price. When I

2:56

sell one, I'm the one taking on the

2:58

obligation. I'm telling the market if

3:00

this stock falls to my strike price by

3:02

this date, I will buy the stock at that

3:04

strike price. And the cash secured part

3:07

just means that I actually have cash in

3:09

my account sitting there and ready to

3:11

cover my position if I get assigned and

3:13

I have to buy 100 shares. So I'm not

3:16

borrowing to do this. The money is

3:18

already there. And that's why it's

3:19

called a cash secured put. Think about

3:21

it like being an insurance company for a

3:23

minute. Now what an insurance company

3:25

does is they sell a policy. They collect

3:27

premium upfront. In exchange they take

3:30

on a risk for paying someone else if

3:32

they get into an accident. That's

3:33

exactly what I'm doing when I sell a put

3:36

option. I collect the premium the moment

3:38

I sell it. It's mine to keep no matter

3:40

what happens. In exchange, I'm accepting

3:42

the risk that I might have to buy these

3:44

shares at my strike price. Okay, so

3:46

here's where things get interesting. If

3:48

the stock stays above my strike price by

3:50

expiration date, nothing happens. It

3:51

expires worthless and I'm free to do

3:53

anything I want and my capital that's

3:55

being tied up is released. But if the

3:57

stock falls below my strike price, I

4:00

will get a sign. That just means that

4:01

the contract gets exercised and I am not

4:04

obligated to buy those shares at the

4:06

strike price that I agreed to when I

4:08

entered into the trade. This is the part

4:10

that I mentioned in the opening. I'm

4:12

totally fine with that. I assignment

4:14

isn't the strategy failing. It's the

4:16

strategy working exactly as designed. It

4:18

just moved into its next stage because

4:20

once I own shares, I am not stuck with

4:23

those shares hoping that they recover

4:25

and I'm just sitting on my hands. I turn

4:27

around and I sell a covered call, an

4:29

option where I'm now agreeing to sell

4:31

those same shares at a strike price

4:33

above what I paid. And again, I collect

4:36

premium upfront for agreeing to that

4:38

risk. If the stock climbs past my strike

4:40

price, my shares will get called away

4:42

from me. And again, I will get

4:44

exercised. Now, I collected my premium

4:46

and my shares are gone and I'm back to

4:49

cash. If it doesn't go up to the strike

4:52

price, then I still have the stock. The

4:54

stock is called out of the money. it is

4:56

not above the strike price and the

4:58

option will expire and I'm basically in

5:01

the same position that I was at before I

5:03

sold the covered call which is I just

5:05

have shares now though I have the same

5:07

shares and the covered call that I sold

5:10

on has expired. So I can do that again.

5:13

I can do a full loop. I can again either

5:15

sell a put option if I get exercise if I

5:18

still have the shares then I could just

5:19

sell another call option and collect

5:21

more premium on a covered call. And in

5:24

this process, it just continues turning

5:26

round and round collecting along the

5:28

way. That's the whole strategy in a

5:30

nutshell. And everything from here is

5:31

just going to be applying that to

5:33

specific stocks. So let's discuss why AI

5:36

stocks in particular like Palunteer,

5:38

like Nvidia, like Nebius or potentially

5:41

some other AI stocks that you guys are

5:43

following on. Why are they paying so

5:45

much in premium? It really comes down to

5:47

one concept, implied volatility or IV.

5:51

This is the part of this video where

5:52

we're going to start to build up on the

5:54

wheel strategy and learn how to execute

5:56

it in this current market environment

5:58

which has more volatility in it and more

6:01

swings. So this is called implied

6:03

volatility. Implied volatility is

6:05

basically the market's forecast range of

6:07

movement for a stock. How big of a swing

6:10

the market is currently pricing in,

6:12

whether it potentially might go up or

6:14

down. And we'll discuss that when we

6:16

talk about skew and over what given

6:18

stretch of time. It's not guaranteed

6:20

what will happen. It's just a barometer

6:22

and an assumption that the market is

6:24

assuming may happen over the next

6:26

specific time period. It's an

6:28

expectation baked into the price of the

6:30

option themselves. I like to think of it

6:32

like a weather forecast. If the forecast

6:34

calls for a light breeze, well, nobody's

6:37

paying extra for storm insurance.

6:38

There's just not that much risk to price

6:40

in. But if the forecast calls for a

6:42

major storm system rolling through,

6:44

well, that same insurance policy

6:46

suddenly costs a lot more because the

6:48

potential swing is bigger and the risk

6:50

is real. And there's many places around

6:52

the world where there is really high

6:54

catastrophe risk, whether it's

6:56

hurricanes or earthquakes, and those

6:58

places have very expensive insurance.

7:01

It's the very same thing when you're

7:02

doing the wheel strategy and you're

7:04

selling options. Options work the same

7:06

exact way. A bigger forecast swing in

7:08

the stock means there's a fatter premium

7:11

for whoever is selling that option and

7:13

that is because there's higher risk.

7:14

Well, that person selling options is me

7:17

in that case. And AI infrastructure

7:19

stocks over the past year or so have

7:21

been sitting at very high storm forecast

7:24

zones. Palanteer is currently trading

7:27

for $125 per share. But just two weeks

7:29

ago, I posted a video on this channel

7:31

when Palanteer was at $109 per share

7:34

saying that this stock is a good value.

7:36

Same thing happened with Bloom Energy

7:37

which I covered because I was discussing

7:39

a video on Leo Paul Ashenber. That

7:41

company has moved 20 or $30 per share on

7:44

a weekly basis. It has also had a lot of

7:46

volatility. So when I look at a company

7:48

say Palunteer which is now trading at

7:51

125 as I'm recording this. Well,

7:53

whenever it has massive moves in either

7:55

direction, the market argues with itself

7:57

about what is this business actually

7:59

going to do? People are confused because

8:01

there's so much volatility and what its

8:04

AI business is actually worth. This

8:06

difference in opinion is exactly what

8:08

raises implied volatility and makes it

8:10

so high. So, let's go to Nvidia for

8:12

example, which is trading for $210 per

8:14

share right now. And it's arguably the

8:16

center of gravity for the entire AOS

8:18

rate. Everyone's watching it, which

8:19

means that everyone's got an opinion,

8:21

which means the option market is pricing

8:23

in very big uncertainty. As I'll show

8:25

you later in this course, you will see

8:27

the comparison between Nvidia, Nebius,

8:29

and Palencer in terms of implied

8:31

volatility. Then I'm actually going to

8:32

show you another AI stock which has even

8:34

more volatility than these three. So the

8:37

third stock that I'm going to talk about

8:38

is Nebias, which is around $220 per

8:40

share. Although, as I make this video

8:42

and I edit it and I release it, it might

8:44

be a totally different price. If you're

8:46

watching this in the future, just make

8:48

sure that you understand the wheel

8:49

strategy and all the techniques and

8:50

concepts that I'm teaching you here

8:52

because you'll be able to apply this

8:53

knowledge in your current portfolio

8:55

regardless of when you're watching this.

8:56

So, I would put Nebius in a completely

8:59

different bucket alltogether. It's a

9:01

smaller, newer company still

9:03

establishing its footing with its

9:05

revenues and that shows up directly in

9:07

the option pricing. more uncertainty

9:09

about where it lands means richer

9:11

premiums for someone selling options on

9:13

it. But also means that the range of the

9:15

outcomes is genuinely wider. So there is

9:18

indeed a lot more risk. So we'll be

9:20

discussing how to manage that risk when

9:22

I go over the live example. And this

9:23

leads me to the part that I don't want

9:25

to really gloss over. A higher premium

9:27

always comes with higher risk attached.

9:29

That's not a bug in the map. That's the

9:32

whole reason the premium is higher in

9:34

the first place. Elevated IV cuts both

9:36

ways. It can hand you bigger premium on

9:38

the way in, but it can also mean a

9:41

bigger, faster move against your

9:42

position if the stock breaks in the

9:44

wrong direction. And that's why I'm

9:46

going to spend so much time on risk

9:48

management later in this video. I'm not

9:50

telling you these three tickers are the

9:51

bright ones for you to go buy. This is

9:53

just what I'm choosing to run the wheel

9:54

strategy on right now because I see a

9:56

lot of implied volatility and I have

9:58

formed a strong opinion on them based on

10:00

my own research. In my opinion, the

10:02

volatility profile makes sense for what

10:04

I'm trying to do. Every trader has to

10:06

weigh that risk for themselves. So

10:08

before I pull anything up on my own

10:10

account, I want to show you how I

10:11

actually run this because this is where

10:13

I think most of the videos out there get

10:15

it wrong. It's the part that took me

10:17

years to really dial in. It starts with

10:19

the stock, not the premium. A lot of

10:22

people open their brokerage account,

10:23

sort the whole list by the fattest

10:25

premium that they can find, and then

10:26

they sell it put on whatever is paying

10:28

the most amount of money. That is

10:30

completely backwards and exactly how

10:32

people get burned and end up losing

10:34

money. The first question I ask before I

10:36

actually look at a single option is

10:37

simple. Would I actually be happy owning

10:39

the company at a lower price? Because

10:42

remember, when I sell that cash secured

10:43

put, I'm agreeing to buy the stock if it

10:45

drops. If I wouldn't want to own it in

10:48

the first place, no premium is worth it.

10:50

So, I start with names that I actually

10:51

believe in. I look at the fundamentals.

10:53

I look at where the stock is

10:55

technically, and I look at how the

10:56

market's feeling about it. Only after a

10:59

stock clears that bar do I even open the

11:01

option chain. Once I'm there, the next

11:03

decision is a strike price. And this is

11:05

where a number called delta comes in.

11:08

Delta tells you roughly how many cents

11:10

an option moves for every dollar the

11:12

stock moves. But there's a second way

11:14

sellers like me use it. And it's the

11:16

useful one. Delta also gives you a rough

11:18

read on the odds the option finishes in

11:21

the money. A put with a 30 delta has

11:23

very roughly about a 30% chance of

11:26

landing in the money by expiration. So

11:28

when I pick a strike, I'm not just

11:30

eyeballing it. I'm using delta as an

11:32

odds check. I tend to sell puts well

11:34

below the current price at a lower delta

11:37

because I'd rather collect a slightly

11:38

smaller premium and give the stock more

11:40

room to breathe then reach for a fat

11:42

premium sitting right there where the

11:44

stock is trading. That is a deliberate

11:46

choice. It's more conservative one that

11:48

you'll see most people don't want to

11:50

make. Then the other mistake that a lot

11:52

of investors make with Google strategy

11:54

is there's time. How far out will you

11:56

sell? They go way far out when they sell

11:59

options. And I actually lean towards

12:00

shorter data contracts. And the reason

12:02

is a thing called theta. Theta is time

12:05

decay. It's the amount an option loses

12:07

in value every single day just from time

12:09

passing. And when I'm the seller, the

12:12

decay is working in my favor because the

12:14

option I sold is slowly losing money.

12:16

And that is the whole point. When the

12:18

option is in its final week, theta is

12:20

incredibly high and it starts to decay

12:22

very fast. In fact, if the option is out

12:24

of the money, it is going to decay to

12:26

absolutely nothing at expiration. if the

12:29

option stays out of the money. Data

12:31

speeds up the closer you get to

12:33

expiration. So selling shortdated puts

12:35

means that the DK is working hard for me

12:37

and my cash isn't tied up for months

12:39

just to collect a modest premium. In

12:40

fact, my cash is being tied up for say 1

12:43

week and in that one week that option

12:45

may lose 100% of the value that it's

12:48

worth whenever I sell it. And the last

12:49

piece of all this is before I ever hit

12:51

sell its size. I decide upfront how much

12:54

of my account any single name is allowed

12:56

to take up and I don't budget and I'll

12:59

come back to why that one number matters

13:01

so much more and is potentially the most

13:03

important number that you can have in

13:05

the entire process of doing the bull

13:06

strategy. So, that is a setup, a stock

13:09

that I generally want to own, a strike

13:11

price that is sensible to me makes sense

13:13

based on the technical analysis that

13:14

I'll show you later on. A shorter window

13:16

of time because that option is going to

13:18

expire worthless ideally if it continues

13:21

to stay out of the money. And size, a

13:22

size that I'm comfortable with that

13:24

makes sense for risk management

13:25

purposes. So, enough theory. Now, I'm

13:27

going to open up my portfolio and

13:28

discuss what I'm actually seeing with

13:30

real stocks. I'm going to walk you

13:32

through on three different names that I

13:33

mentioned, Palanteer, Nvidia, and

13:35

Nebius. And I'm also going to give you a

13:37

bonus that has very high implied

13:38

volatility. And I'm going to show you a

13:40

unique way of running the wheel strategy

13:42

based on a stock that has very high

13:43

implied volatility. All right guys,

13:45

let's jump into my portfolio. And as I

13:46

show you the wheel strategy in my Robin

13:48

Hood account, I'm also going to be going

13:49

over some technical analysis. So we're

13:50

going to do a deep dive on Palunteer

13:52

first and then we will go into the other

13:55

two stocks that I want to mention as

13:56

well. So first of all, Palanteer on the

13:58

technical chart here is $132 per share.

14:00

It's up 1.4% 4% and as we will talk

14:03

about technical analysis later in this

14:05

course you will understand a bowlinger

14:07

band which I'm going to open up right

14:08

now but I'm going to keep this a little

14:10

bit more simple for now. So right here

14:12

you can see this is a bowlinger band and

14:14

we'll get into much more detail here

14:16

later but essentially you can see that

14:18

pounds here is right at the moving

14:19

average. So it looks pretty fairly

14:21

valued and the RSI here is also right in

14:23

the middle at 53. Okay so let's jump

14:25

into my account here. We're doing pretty

14:28

good. Then I go to search. I'm going to

14:30

type in Palunteer. I'm going to show you

14:32

how I'm going to think about entering

14:34

into the wheel strategy right now on

14:36

Palunteer stock. So I'm going to go to

14:38

trade options. Okay. And my first step

14:40

is really to build the wheel strategy by

14:42

selling put options. Okay. So I'm going

14:44

to go for an expiration that's going to

14:46

be roughly a month a month and a half

14:49

out. So I'm going to go for September 18

14:51

as an expiration right now. And yeah,

14:53

I'm at selling puts. Make sure you're

14:55

selling. Don't make the mistake of

14:56

buying a put by accident. I've seen that

14:58

happen very very rarely, but yeah, just

15:00

make sure you have the correct order.

15:02

So, it should be sell to open uh put

15:04

option. Okay, now I'm going to scroll

15:06

down here and I'm going to click 120.

15:09

Okay, you'll see here that the bid is

15:11

740 and the ask the 760, which is really

15:14

nice. The tighter the bid ass spread,

15:16

the better really. If it's tighter, that

15:18

means you're losing less money and Robin

15:20

Hood as a brokerage and as a financial

15:22

platform makes money specifically on

15:24

option trading when the bid and asset

15:26

spread is very wide. So make sure that

15:27

you find stocks that have a nice bid ass

15:30

spread. Doesn't have to be Palenter. It

15:31

could be any of the other number of AI

15:33

stocks or safe stocks or consumer

15:35

stocks, whatever you want. So yeah,

15:36

Palunteer 120 put September 18. The

15:40

delta here is right around 30, which

15:41

means a 30% chance or three out of 10

15:44

times that, you know, this option will

15:46

end in the money at expiration. So it'll

15:48

be 120 or less at expiration about 30%

15:51

of the time based off of the Greek

15:53

delta. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, if I wanted

15:54

to sell this, which I actually will. I'm

15:56

going to just execute on this trade. I'm

15:58

just going to do one contract here just

15:59

so I can eat my own cooking. You guys, I

16:01

want you to know that whatever I'm

16:03

teaching on this channel, I'm actually

16:04

genuinely doing for myself as well. And

16:06

I have a lot of, you know, stocks and

16:08

options in my portfolio. And I've been

16:09

doing this for 10 years, but I still

16:11

want to kind of put the proof in the

16:12

pudding that I'm going to execute on

16:13

this trade. I'm going to just do one

16:15

contract here. So, let me sell this. And

16:18

there you go. I got filled. So, um, I

16:21

just collected $739.96

16:24

because even there's some regulatory

16:26

fees. But anyways, this is kind of like

16:27

the first option that I'm executing in

16:30

terms of the wheel strategy on

16:31

Palunteer. Let me go into Palunteer and

16:33

just show you the position I currently

16:34

have because I've been running the

16:35

strategy for a while before I move over

16:37

into the second stock, which will be

16:39

Nvidia. I actually have a lot of shares

16:40

and I originally got into it at IPO and

16:43

I cover a lot of stocks on this channel.

16:45

So, make sure to subscribe because I do

16:46

option trading, but I also do stock

16:48

research and that's what I spend a

16:49

considerable amount of my time doing

16:51

every single day. But you can see here

16:53

that I have 120 puts. Actually, I'm not

16:55

running too much of the wheel strategy

16:57

on Palunteer. I have some option buying

16:59

here. And I also have a covered call

17:00

that's in the money. We'll talk about

17:02

rolling and how to manage in the money

17:03

covered calls. You might think, well,

17:05

you have a 115. Yeah, but also you can

17:07

see the gain that I have. I have

17:08

$161,000 here that I made personally on

17:11

Palunteer. This is part of the wheel

17:13

strategy, but this is like endstage.

17:15

This is late stage wheel. Don't worry

17:17

about this for now until later on in

17:18

this course. Let's jump into our next

17:20

stock, which is going to be Nvidia.

17:23

Nvidia is a great company and it's

17:25

actually been going sideways a lot. And

17:26

then, you know, when I show you

17:28

different market environments to run the

17:30

wheel strategy, honestly, like a

17:32

sideways market or, you know, a stock

17:34

that's pretty rangebound, it's not bad.

17:35

It's not a bad thing. So, Nvidia here,

17:37

$29 per share and can actually see I

17:40

have a covered call here. So, I'm

17:42

running the wheel here and we can see

17:44

that I'm still in the process. But yeah,

17:46

if I want to start over, I would simply

17:48

go to the option chain here and go for

17:50

an expiration date. Let's use a shorter

17:52

term August 21st. I'm going to go to

17:53

sell put option and let's just jump into

17:55

the technical analysis to see what type

17:58

of strike price that we want to do. So,

18:00

I'm going to go to chart here and I want

18:02

to show you the strike price that I'm

18:03

going to be looking at for Nvidia. The

18:05

moving average is actually right around

18:07

the current value of the stock, which is

18:09

$28 per share. Um, but the bottom of the

18:12

Ballinger band is 190. Okay, so that's

18:15

pretty much here. You can also see the

18:16

stock is bouncing off of 193. Pretty

18:19

significant bounce actually. Little bit

18:21

of a pullback and then another bounce

18:23

pretty hard from 195. So my goal is

18:25

really to get as close to 195 as

18:27

possible. But if I go lower in terms of

18:30

the strike that I'm picking, the amount

18:32

of premium that I'm going to collect is

18:33

going to go lower and lower. So you want

18:36

to basically balance out within the

18:37

wheel strategy. So, if I go for 205,

18:40

like that's great and that's going to

18:42

have a high premium collected, but you

18:44

know, the chance of assignment here is

18:46

going to be a little bit higher. So, let

18:47

me click in here. It's a delta 40. Okay,

18:49

I'm going to show you how to adapt delta

18:51

later as well, but simply I think 40 is

18:54

going to be a little bit high for, you

18:56

know, kind of the breadand butter

18:57

strategy that I have. So, I'll go a

18:59

little bit lower here at 200. Okay, let

19:02

me expand this 200. This is great. This

19:04

is right around my peanut butter jelly

19:06

sandwich, whatever. You know, I'm

19:08

excited about this. I'm genuinely

19:09

excited about this because 33 delta is

19:11

great, but also keep in mind the 200

19:14

strike price if you factor in the

19:16

premium here, which is $6.50. And look

19:18

at that bid ass, man. It's beautiful.

19:20

That bid ass spread. Oh, I don't even

19:22

know how to say it. It's like bisumo,

19:24

whatever other languages you might

19:26

speak. Comment down below beautiful in

19:28

your language because this is beautiful.

19:30

This bit ass spread so tight, so good.

19:33

It's very small and difference. It's

19:35

only five bucks. So, if you take the

19:38

$200 strike price and you account for

19:40

the premium, your actual break even here

19:42

is going to be $193.50.

19:46

And based off of the technical analysis

19:48

like I showed you, that's great because

19:50

it's bouncing off of 195 hard. So, by

19:52

selling this put option to begin the

19:54

wheel strategy, I'm effectively getting

19:55

in under a support level. So, that is as

19:58

beautiful as it gets for what I am

20:01

looking for when I want to open up a

20:02

position. Now, the next stock that I

20:04

want to cover is going to be Nebius. Now

20:06

this is going to be a higher volatility

20:08

stock and this stock's down 4% just

20:10

today and in the last 1 month is down

20:13

12% just really really huge kind of drop

20:16

here dramatic drop and in 6 months the

20:19

stock is obviously up a whole triple

20:22

digits but there's a lot of volatility

20:24

here and I would keep your position

20:25

sizing very careful on AI stocks but I'm

20:28

not saying don't do the wheel strategy

20:30

on AI stocks I think they're great as

20:31

well so going to the technical analysis

20:34

here it's very hard to do technical

20:35

analys analysis on a stock that's up so

20:37

much like Nebius. The risk and the

20:39

danger on the stock is very high. So

20:41

there's not too much technical analysis

20:43

that I'm doing is basically when I'm

20:45

looking at an AI stock because they're

20:46

very momentum driven. I'm going to use a

20:48

small amount of capital. You know, I

20:50

would limit it to 3 to 5% of the

20:52

portfolio, which is hard to do on Nebia

20:53

since it is a more expensive stock. So

20:55

maybe you dial in the risk a little bit

20:57

higher. 5% is what I would limit it at.

21:00

But the whole thing is you want to learn

21:01

how to do this. So let me show you how

21:03

to fish. So let me go into Nebius. Okay,

21:05

you can see on my phone Nebius Group.

21:06

I'm going to go to trade options. And

21:08

because the stock has so much

21:10

volatility, if I go to August 21st here,

21:12

you can see just how wild the premiums

21:15

are. And if I open up 200, you'll see

21:17

that the implied volatility or IP is

21:20

142. Anything over 50 is high. This is

21:24

142. That is bonkers. That's next level

21:27

implied volatility, meaning that this is

21:29

a very risky stock. However, you are

21:32

appropriately seeing very high premiums

21:35

as well. That's why the premiums here

21:37

are also pretty much off the chart. So,

21:39

what you can do is you can actually

21:40

scroll a lot lower and be very very out

21:43

of the money. You can go for a very OTM

21:45

option because there's so much

21:47

volatility that these option premiums

21:48

are elevated. So, you can go

21:50

significantly out of the money. So, for

21:51

example, 150 here is a full $50 away

21:54

from the current stock price. Yet, the

21:56

premium here is still very, very high.

21:58

The bid ass spread is not as good as it

22:00

is for Nvidia, but the bid ass spread is

22:02

it's okay. I would categorize this as

22:04

like I would rate it 6 out of 10 bid ass

22:06

spread. Okay, you are losing your $30

22:08

$40 on the difference from the bid and

22:10

the ask. You can see here the delta is

22:12

actually 0.19. So the premium is very

22:14

significant yet the delta is actually

22:16

pretty low. This is what's so attractive

22:18

about trading the wheel strategy using

22:20

AI stocks is because of their high

22:22

implied volatility makes the premium so

22:24

juicy. I mean, if you want like a big

22:26

juicy steak, it's not going to really be

22:28

coming from those safer stocks, right?

22:30

Some of the safer stocks, like one that

22:32

I have in my portfolio is Walmart, and

22:34

I've been trading Walmart for years now.

22:36

My community has done extremely well

22:37

with Walmart. Yet, I don't really

22:38

mention on YouTube because it's not

22:40

going to get much attention. And it's

22:42

also not something that most people

22:43

even, you know, want to look at. They

22:44

want something more sexy and more fun.

22:46

And that's fine. I'm not judging you. If

22:48

you join my coaching, I'm going to work

22:49

on the boring stuff to get to

22:51

consistency and stability. But, you

22:53

know, that's up to you. you decide your

22:54

own risk preferences. If you're just

22:56

going to watch this YouTube video, then

22:57

keep this in mind. If you're doing this

22:59

on a more volatile stock, you want to

23:01

keep the position sizing appropriate.

23:03

Obviously, the more positions you have

23:04

in different stocks, the more diversity

23:06

you have in your portfolio and the lower

23:08

overall impact or volatility you will

23:10

see. That being said, a lot of AI stocks

23:12

are correlated to each other. Meaning

23:13

that when one AI stock falls, another

23:16

one is also potentially likely to fall.

23:18

I'm actually going to show you a chart

23:19

here of two, you know, stocks that are

23:22

in AI sector that, you know, what

23:24

happens when one goes down. I'm going to

23:25

show you that. So, let's wrap up with

23:27

this example. 150 cell put is still very

23:30

attractive even though it's very out of

23:31

the money. So, yeah, let me show you a

23:33

another stock that is probably similar

23:35

to Nebius. You're just in the AI space.

23:37

I'm going to show you how correlated

23:38

they are and why it's important to run

23:40

the Google strategy on different stocks.

23:42

So, let's go into here. I'm going to go

23:44

here into comparison and then I could

23:47

type in another ticker symbol. So, let

23:49

me go for something that could be

23:51

correlated with Nebius. So, I'm going to

23:53

go for like another popular AI stock

23:56

which is actually down a lot which is

23:57

Na'vi. And I'm going to just put this on

23:59

the chart right here. But now you can

24:01

actually see a pretty clear picture of

24:02

how similar these stocks are and how

24:04

much they move together. I can actually

24:06

put another comparison here. We can go

24:08

for another stock. I'll do APLD. I know

24:10

that's another like popular AS stock.

24:12

And you can see here how APLD actually

24:14

has a much lower volatility. Still kind

24:16

of looks similar here, but it's actually

24:18

quite Nvidia because Nvidia is the

24:20

leader in in AI stocks. Basically, it's

24:22

the biggest one. It's actually the

24:23

biggest company in the world at 5

24:25

trillion. And that makes sense that

24:27

Nvidia has much lower volatility. Has

24:30

been going pretty much sideways in

24:32

comparison to Nabitas and in comparison

24:34

to Nebius. But this is what I want you

24:36

to be aware of is that if you're running

24:38

the wheel strategy, you can pick stocks

24:40

that are not that correlated. So, for

24:41

example, let me get rid of APLD. Let me

24:44

get rid of Nvidia. And I actually want

24:46

to show you how you can just pick a

24:48

stock that's totally unorrelated. So,

24:50

let me get rid of that. And I'm going to

24:52

just compare McDonald's, which is a

24:54

stock that I like because it has crashed

24:56

pretty hard and it's at a 52- week low.

24:58

So, you can see here how like the

24:59

similarity here is just not that much.

25:02

Also, you can go to indicators and you

25:04

can actually see what the actual

25:06

correlation is by just simply writing

25:09

correlation here. So correlation

25:10

coefficient and I'll just do the 14

25:12

days. That's fine. Okay. So you can see

25:14

here that the correlation is actually

25:16

negative. That's actually interesting. A

25:18

negative correlation basically implies

25:20

that these two assets move differently

25:23

in opposite directions essentially. So

25:26

that's exactly what you want to see. If

25:27

you're trying to minimize risk and lower

25:29

risk in your portfolio, you're going to

25:31

want to look for some negative

25:32

correlation. I can go on and on about

25:34

this and I'd be more than happy to help

25:36

you personally build your own portfolio

25:38

based off the cash that you have, the

25:39

horizon that you have to reach your

25:41

goals or retirement. Anyways, you can

25:43

check out the top link in the

25:44

description. This is what I love to do

25:46

and I love to customize specifically to

25:48

someone's specific goals. All right, you

25:50

have seen three stocks. I'm going to

25:52

show you the fourth bonus stock after I

25:54

go over some more advanced techniques

25:56

within the wheel strategy just so you

25:57

can understand and actually use the

25:59

wheel strategy even on higher implied

26:01

volatility stocks that might be a lot

26:03

riskier. So to get there, we need to

26:04

understand how to manage the wheel

26:06

strategy, what to do if the stock goes

26:07

up, down, or sideways. Okay, so once you

26:10

actually got one of these trades on, the

26:12

question I get most often is, what do I

26:15

do now? What happens if the stock moves?

26:17

What happens if I'm in the money so

26:19

quickly? What happens if there's a lot

26:21

of time left and I went for a one month

26:23

expiration and the stock is just

26:25

standing still? What do you do in all

26:26

these scenarios? Well, let me walk you

26:28

through every single direction and

26:29

scenario that can happen so you can be

26:31

absolutely confident that you know how

26:33

to manage the wheel strategy in almost

26:35

any single situation because there is a

26:37

plan for each and every single

26:38

situation. And honestly, that's the

26:40

whole point of the strategy. You should

26:42

be very comfortable with it. I have been

26:44

coaching for the past 6 years. I have

26:46

over a thousand successful students.

26:47

Many of them have gone on to retire.

26:49

Many of them are generating their dream

26:51

income not to have to work anymore. And

26:53

a lot of that is actually not the risky

26:55

strategies. Although some of the

26:56

strategy videos that I have on this

26:58

YouTube channel, if you're subscribed,

26:59

might be a little bit riskier. Say leap

27:01

options or poor man's cover calls or

27:02

spreads or any of those exciting things.

27:04

But really, my bread and butter, what I

27:06

have been teaching for the last 6 years,

27:07

and I was originally first on YouTube

27:09

with was the wheel strategy. And that's

27:11

because when I learned the wheel

27:12

strategy, it had changed my life so

27:15

much. It finally gave me the confidence

27:17

to not have to worry about the stock

27:18

market fluctuation and really just to

27:20

focus on highquality companies. So,

27:22

let's start with the stock going up.

27:24

This is the easy one. If I sold a cash

27:26

secure put and the stock climbs, well,

27:28

that put that I sold loses value.

27:30

Remember, as a seller, I want it to

27:32

expire worthless. And if it stays above

27:34

my strike price, all that happens is the

27:36

option expires worthless. It never goes

27:39

below my strike. Therefore, it's not

27:41

worth anything to be exercised. The

27:43

premium I collected is mine and really

27:46

no shares change hands and I'm free to

27:48

sell another put option or I'm free to

27:50

do anything that I want with my capital

27:51

that is now freed up. Now let's flip the

27:54

equation. Let's say that we have already

27:55

had been assigned the shares and now

27:57

we're in the second stage of the wheel

27:59

strategy which is we have the shares, we

28:00

have a covered call. And if I already

28:02

been assigned shares earlier and I'm

28:04

sitting on a covered call, that's the

28:06

second half of the wheel strategy. If

28:07

the stock goes up, that means that my

28:09

shares will get called away at my strike

28:12

price and I will have to sell them at

28:14

the price that I actually already agreed

28:16

to. So, whenever I choose a strike price

28:18

and I am in the wheel strategy section

28:20

of covered calls, I must be happy with

28:23

the covered call strike price because if

28:25

it's in the money, I will lose my

28:27

shares. All right, so we know when to

28:28

sell puts, if it stays above our strike

28:30

price, nothing happens. However, if we

28:32

go to covered calls and it goes above

28:34

our strike price, we could do something

28:36

about it. we could actually end up

28:38

closing the option to give ourselves

28:40

more room for stock to go up. We can

28:42

actually adjust the strike price and

28:44

roll our strike price higher. So, let's

28:46

say that we have a stock trading for

28:48

$110 per share and that stock goes to

28:50

$125 per share and we have a covered

28:53

call at $120 strike price. Our strike

28:56

price is now in the money at $120 is our

28:59

strike price and the stock is $5 higher

29:01

than what we sold the strike price for.

29:03

If we are approaching expiration and we

29:05

change our mind and we don't want to let

29:07

go of the stock, we like the stock, we

29:09

don't want to sell it off, we don't want

29:10

to get exercised, we can actually close

29:12

out the $120 strike price. We can buy

29:15

the option to close or BTC order, buy to

29:19

close, and then we can open up another

29:21

option that has a higher strike price.

29:23

So, we can actually buy back the 120

29:25

strike price and we can sell something

29:27

higher, say the 130 strike price to

29:29

change. Now oftent times whenever I'm

29:32

rolling options, whenever I make this

29:33

change, I also add time to my trade

29:36

because time is so important in option

29:38

trading and time is money. So whenever

29:40

you add more time to the option, you can

29:42

actually get a lot more premium for it.

29:44

In fact, you can change the strike

29:46

price, move it higher, and actually get

29:47

paid for it. Let me show you what that

29:49

looks like. All right, so now I want to

29:51

go over an example that I have of a 110

29:53

covered call that I want to roll up so

29:55

you can understand how the rollup

29:56

process works, right? So, let's say that

29:58

you have solely covered call, but stock

30:00

now has rallied much faster than you

30:02

expected. Something similar basically

30:04

happened to me with Walmart. I have a

30:06

pretty large gain on Walmart. However,

30:08

my covered call is in the money. You can

30:09

see here I'm up $469,000 on Walmart

30:12

stock, but my covered call here is down

30:14

$39,000 and the strike price is 110, but

30:18

Walmart is at 114. So, I want to show

30:20

you how a roll would look like on this

30:22

because if you're short a call and it's

30:24

deep in the money, it can be pretty

30:26

difficult to roll. And I'll show you an

30:27

example of that. But first, I want to

30:29

show you an example of something that is

30:30

a little bit easier. Like here on

30:32

Walmart, I'm just a little bit in the

30:34

money. And I know this seems like a lot

30:35

of money, and it is a lot of money.

30:36

However, this is totally fixable because

30:38

Walmart is in the money for me by just a

30:41

little bit over $4 and less than $5. So,

30:43

if I click right here, you will see

30:44

Walmart call. And again, I'm down on

30:47

this position. So, what I'm going to do

30:49

is I'm going to click trade options. And

30:51

first of all, just note that the

30:53

expiration date is January 15, 2027. In

30:56

the ideal scenario, when I usually roll

30:58

an option, I typically want to roll it

31:00

when there's only 3 months left. And

31:02

because I'm making this video right now,

31:04

when it's like middle of July 2026,

31:06

there is about five, six more months for

31:09

this option until expiration. So, it's

31:11

not the best time to roll, but I'll

31:12

still show you a roll because the roll

31:14

will help you understand how you can

31:16

basically turn a losing position or

31:17

whenever you're in the money into going

31:19

to out of the money and actually

31:21

collecting a credit as well. So, let's

31:22

go to roll position. Okay, I'm going to

31:24

click new position here. And the whole

31:26

point of a roll is to add more time.

31:28

Rolling up simply means buying back a

31:31

stock that you already have an existing

31:33

covered call on and then just selling

31:35

another one at a higher strike price.

31:37

And usually I do that with a later

31:39

expiration date. The goal is to give

31:41

your shares more room to appreciate

31:43

while you continue to collect option

31:45

premium. Now, you're trying to improve

31:47

your position, not magically avoid risk.

31:49

So, I usually only consider rolling if I

31:51

still believe the stock has meaningful

31:53

upside and I'm happy to continue to own

31:55

it, which is absolutely the case for

31:56

Walmart stock right here. And actually

31:58

within my community, Walmart has been a

32:00

great stabilizer. It's a stabilizer. I

32:02

call it that, which is something unique

32:04

you might have not heard before, but a

32:05

stabilizer is a hydro stock that is big

32:09

portion of your portfolio that acts as a

32:11

stabilizer for other volatile names in

32:13

your portfolio. So even when other

32:14

stocks are very volatile, Walmart based

32:16

on my own research has been an extremely

32:18

good stock to own. And of course, I'm up

32:20

almost half a million dollars. So it has

32:22

proven to be a great stabilizer and

32:24

anchor within my portfolio. So if I'm

32:26

perfectly happy to own the stock, well,

32:28

you know, basically I want to adjust my

32:30

original strike price. So my strike

32:32

price right here is 110 and my goal is

32:34

to move it higher. So you can see here

32:36

the current position is 110 and the cost

32:38

is $12.50.

32:40

And if I end up buying back this option,

32:42

right, and going for a different option,

32:44

I'm going to choose a different

32:46

expiration date. Okay? I'm going to go

32:47

for a future one. So, if I change the

32:49

date here to March, then you'll see the

32:51

prices have changed. If I go to June

32:53

again, the prices have changed. Now, I'm

32:55

just going to use June for this example.

32:57

If I were to go from my current

32:59

expiration or 110 to 115 and I click

33:01

this right here, you will see that

33:03

essentially I can go from 110 to 115 and

33:05

I'm going to be adding time. So, the

33:07

amount of time that I'm adding is 153

33:09

days. Okay, so I'm changing the

33:11

expiration date and that is the most

33:13

important factor because time is money

33:15

and because there's more time to this

33:16

option then it is worth more money at

33:19

the same strike price and in this case

33:21

it's even worth more money at a

33:23

different strike price. Okay, so a

33:25

different strike price here is 115. So I

33:27

can go from 110 strike price to 115 and

33:30

I can adjust this by $5. Now, this role

33:33

would include me closing the 110,

33:36

selling the 115, increasing my strike

33:38

price by $5, which gives me $5 more of

33:41

appreciation. And actually, Walmart is

33:44

trading for $114.80.

33:46

So, this option is now out of the money.

33:48

So, I can turn an in the money option,

33:50

which is $110 on a covered coal, into

33:52

out of the money, which is 115 using a

33:55

roll. So, this roll right here could

33:56

change the dynamics of the wheel

33:58

strategy. And essentially, this one is

34:00

pretty easy to roll. And that's because

34:02

it's only really slightly in the money.

34:03

So that's why you want to roll early.

34:05

Essentially, as soon as your covered

34:07

call goes into the money, if you still

34:08

want to benefit off the stock, if you

34:09

still want capital appreciation, then

34:11

pretty much the best thing that you can

34:13

do is roll earlier because once an

34:15

option is already deep in the money, it

34:16

can be a lot harder to roll it. I'll

34:17

show you what I mean by that. And we'll

34:19

finish off this example. I'll show you

34:20

what a deeper in the money covered call

34:22

is going to be like, and it's going to

34:23

be a little bit more difficult here.

34:25

Again, total credit. I'm going to

34:26

collect total credit of $16,000. getting

34:28

a neck rate of $153 per contract. And

34:31

just adding time to this trade helps you

34:33

completely adjust. You know, take this

34:34

from an in the money to out of the

34:36

money. I think that's pretty much enough

34:37

for that. Let's go into a deep in the

34:40

money example because I really want you

34:41

to understand that if you do this

34:43

earlier, then you'll be in a much better

34:44

situation. So, let's see a option that I

34:47

have that's kind of deep in the money

34:49

that's really against me, which will be

34:50

Google. But before I show you Google, I

34:52

actually want to show you an interesting

34:53

case, which is Palanteer. So Palanteer

34:55

is a stock that I've had in my community

34:56

for a long time and because I'm very

34:58

good on Palenteer's valuation when it

35:00

had been around $200 per share. I ended

35:02

up doing a deep in the money covered

35:04

call. So this is a little bit more

35:06

advanced and I just want to throw in

35:08

this golden nugget right now as I'm kind

35:10

of taking this unscripted video and I'm

35:12

doing this live is Palanteer. The reason

35:15

why it is up $169,000

35:18

is because you can actually use a deep

35:20

in the money covered call as a hedge.

35:23

Okay, let me say that one more time. A

35:25

deep in the money covered call, you can

35:27

open it up already deep in the money and

35:29

use that as a hedge because if the stock

35:32

falls down, it doesn't really matter

35:33

unless it falls down below your strike

35:35

price. And for example, a option that's

35:38

deep in the money is going to have a lot

35:39

of intrinsic value, which we covered

35:41

earlier in this course, a lot of

35:43

intrinsic value. And that intrinsic

35:44

value is yours, you know, regardless

35:46

because you've sold it. And then in the

35:48

money option is going to be, you know,

35:49

worth a potential lot of money depending

35:51

on how much it is in the money. So if

35:53

it's, you know, 150 strike price and the

35:56

stock is at 200, well, of course option

35:58

is going to be worth at least $50

36:00

because it's already $50 intrinsically

36:03

plus not even counting all the extrinsic

36:05

value like ton volatility. So anyways,

36:07

um I can go a little bit deeper later in

36:09

this video or in the one-on-one coaching

36:10

if you decide that you want to do

36:12

coaching with me. But anyways, a deep in

36:13

the money covered call can be very very

36:15

lucrative as you see $169,000

36:18

gain. But let's get back at the topic at

36:20

hand which is still the covered call

36:22

which has gone against me which is going

36:23

to be Google. Okay, Google here is a

36:25

very interesting position because it has

36:27

gone against me quite a bit actually. So

36:30

you can see here that it's against me

36:33

$118%, right? It's I'm down total return

36:36

31 basically $32,000. But here it's not

36:38

going to be as easy because Google is

36:40

trading for $353 per share and my cover

36:43

call has a strike price of 300. So I'm

36:45

in the money by $53. With Walmart I'm in

36:48

the money by four. So it's pretty easy

36:50

for me to roll. And this is not going to

36:53

be the same thing. So, if I go to roll

36:54

position, you'll see real quickly how

36:56

this is going to be a much more kind of

36:58

difficult situation to get out of. So,

37:00

check this out. If I take this $300

37:02

covered call that I had that's currently

37:04

deep in the money and I wanted to adjust

37:06

it and roll this option to a future date

37:08

such as January, then I can move from

37:11

September to January, adding about 3 4

37:13

months to this trade and I can adjust

37:16

the strike price. However, you can see

37:18

that I'm not going to be able to fully

37:20

adjust. You can only see by the premiums

37:22

that I'm scrolling through here, they

37:24

are not going to be more than $59. So,

37:26

if I wanted to go up to $355, which

37:28

would be out of the money, it's only

37:29

$37. And the value to close it is $59.

37:32

So, there's no way for me to completely

37:34

fix this option. But the good news is I

37:36

don't really have to. I can still do

37:38

really well and I'm happy with the

37:40

profit if I just move up and have more

37:42

capital appreciation and actually

37:44

collect a credit. So, I'm going to show

37:45

you now the difference between

37:46

collecting a credit versus a debit. So,

37:48

first of all, if I want to move from 300

37:50

to 305, sure, you know, that's easy. I

37:53

get a total credit of $8,000 and I have

37:55

some extra appreciation. It's not a

37:57

whole lot, but it's five extra dollars,

37:58

which is not bad. Plus, I get credit,

38:00

right? So, obviously, that makes sense

38:02

right there. But the bigger thing is

38:04

when would I be comfortable paying a

38:06

debit? And I'll show you what that looks

38:07

like. So, if I go for January 15 and I

38:10

move up to say, let's go for 325. Okay.

38:13

So, 325. This is very interesting

38:16

because this is probably, you know, the

38:18

first time you're seeing a total debit

38:19

or maybe now you want to see how this

38:20

would work. Well, a total debit here is

38:23

$4.30. Okay, that's per contract. We're

38:25

going to focus on per contract right

38:27

now. $4.30 is basically what I have to

38:29

pay in terms of a debit upfront to

38:31

basically, you know, close out the $300

38:33

call option and shift it to 325. Well,

38:36

would this make sense? Honestly, this is

38:38

actually a great trade in my eyes

38:40

because if I have to pay $4.30, 30.

38:43

Okay, that's the amount of money that

38:44

I'm paying, which is a total of $4,300.

38:47

That's how much I'm paying. But the

38:48

benefit that I get is going to be 10

38:51

contracts worth of an increase of $25,

38:54

which would be $25,000. So, I have to

38:56

pay $4,000, but I get a benefit of

38:58

$25,000. That is something that I am

39:00

interested in. So, look, I discuss a lot

39:02

more when it makes sense to roll for a

39:04

credit and when it makes sense to roll

39:05

for a debit inside of my community. For

39:07

this video, I'm not going to dive too

39:09

deep into the mathematics as YouTube

39:10

could potentially give me some issues

39:12

around this concepts. So, let's move

39:13

over to the next section, which is a

39:15

sideways market for the wheel strategy.

39:17

We have discussed what would happen in

39:18

an up market. So, an up market for the

39:21

sellput positions, they perform very

39:22

well. They expire out of the money. For

39:24

an up market for, you know, the covered

39:25

call side of the wheel strategy, either

39:27

get out of the wheel strategy and you go

39:28

full circle and start over again, or you

39:30

can roll up as I showed you there.

39:32

However, let's now discuss a sideways

39:33

market because one of the biggest

39:35

misconceptions about the wheel strategy

39:36

that you need the stock to keep going

39:38

higher. And the truth is you really

39:41

don't. In fact, one of my very favorite

39:43

market environments is a sideways market

39:45

where it just kind of goes a little bit

39:46

up, a little bit down. And that little

39:48

bit of volatility is actually great

39:50

because imagine that you own a great

39:52

company trading for around $100. And for

39:54

the next 6 months, it balances between

39:56

$95 and $105 without really going

39:59

anywhere. Well, most investors get

40:01

frustrated because their stock hasn't

40:02

really appreciated much. But as a wheel

40:04

trader, that can actually be a fantastic

40:07

outcome. Why? Well, because every few

40:09

weeks I'm selling another option,

40:11

collecting another premium using the

40:13

wheel strategy. If I put option expires

40:15

worthless, I simply just sell another

40:17

one. If I'm assigned shares, well, I

40:19

move into step two of the wheel

40:20

strategy, which is I sell covered calls.

40:22

If those covered calls expire worthless,

40:24

great. Then I get to sell more covered

40:26

calls. And if they don't expire

40:28

worthless and now the options in the

40:30

money well I can let it get assigned get

40:32

out of the strategy or I can use rolling

40:35

as I discussed in the previous chapter

40:37

in the timestamps of this video course

40:39

right so every cycle gives me another

40:42

opportunity to generate income while the

40:44

stock moves sideways and that's why yes

40:47

there is a risk that stock can move

40:49

sideways and a stock investor might not

40:51

make any money but a wheel trader might

40:53

actually have a decent time in a

40:55

sideways market if they don't really get

40:57

exercise whether it's on selling puts

40:59

and even if they get exercised on

41:00

selling puts maybe they don't get

41:02

exercised on covered calls and being

41:04

rangebound is actually a great

41:06

experience because they are option

41:08

selling. So selling puts and covered

41:10

calls is the premium generating kind of

41:12

vehicle there, right? So think of it

41:14

very similar to owning a rental

41:15

property. You don't really need the

41:17

house to go up in value. You don't need

41:19

your $150,000 house to be at $300,000

41:22

house in value because what you can do

41:24

is every single month you will collect

41:26

rents, right? You have tenants and you

41:27

collect rent. So with the wheel

41:29

strategy, those option premiums are very

41:31

similar to collecting rents on the

41:33

capital while you wait. So even if your

41:35

capital is not going up, you are still

41:36

collecting rents along the way. And

41:38

that's why I love this strategy so much.

41:40

Specifically, I'm using this as a

41:42

retirement strategy. And that's why so

41:43

many people in my one-on-one coaching

41:45

are often times folks that have a good

41:47

job, that have a good income, but they

41:49

don't really have a clear defined plan

41:50

on how to retire because, well, they

41:52

have some assets, but they don't have

41:54

enough cash flow to sustain their

41:55

monthly expenses. And the wheel strategy

41:57

is a great solution for that. That's why

41:59

I don't really mind when a highquality

42:01

stock really takes a break whenever it's

42:03

going sideways. And sideways movement

42:04

often means that I can collect multiple

42:06

rounds of premium instead of watching a

42:08

stock shoot past my covered call in one

42:10

single week. You know, when a stock goes

42:12

up so much in a short amount of time, I

42:14

pass my covered call, that's fine, but

42:16

you know, then I have to run the wheel

42:17

strategy all over again. But when the

42:19

market's going sideways, actually even

42:21

less work for me. So, of course, this

42:22

doesn't mean that every sideways market

42:24

is perfect because if a company is

42:26

deteriorating fundamentally, well, that

42:28

is a different story because, you know,

42:30

ideally, you don't want to be in a stock

42:31

that just going sideways forever even if

42:34

the premium is good. oftentimes the

42:35

wheel strategy is attractive because the

42:38

capital appreciation that you have in

42:40

the covered call portion of the wheel

42:42

strategy. So I only want to run the

42:44

wheel strategy on businesses that I am

42:46

happy owning long-term and I do think

42:48

they're going to go up even though I

42:50

might be modestly bullish. If I'm mega

42:52

bullish then well the will strategy is

42:54

not the best for that because in the

42:55

covered call situation you might be

42:57

frustrated when your covered call is you

42:59

know deep in the money especially if

43:00

that happens too quickly. Now, buy and

43:02

hold investors get paid when the stock

43:04

moves, while wheel traders get paid

43:06

really when the stock doesn't have to

43:08

move that much. Okay, so that's the

43:10

sideways market. Now, let's talk about

43:11

the down market, which is oo the town

43:14

market. If there's one thing I hope that

43:16

you remember from this entire video is

43:17

this. Please don't sell puts on

43:20

companies just because the premium looks

43:22

attractive. It's like a pretty woman in

43:24

a really pretty dress, but oh man, you

43:26

might get in a lot of trouble with that,

43:28

right? So, I've seen too many people

43:30

chase the highest premium, get assigned

43:32

into a business they never want to own,

43:35

and then they spend months hoping that

43:37

it comes back. And I mean, I don't want

43:39

that happening to you. If this strategy

43:40

is going to work over the long run, the

43:42

company has to come first and the option

43:44

has to come second. If this one sentence

43:47

saves you from that bad trade happening

43:49

to you, then I'm happy with this video

43:51

and it's well worth it spending all

43:52

these hours on it. So, what happens if

43:54

the stock or even the entire market

43:56

starts going down while you're running

43:58

the wheel shop? Well, first, very

44:00

important, don't panic. That possibility

44:02

was always part of the plan. If you're

44:04

only comfortable owning the company when

44:06

it's going up, well, then you never

44:08

really wanted to own it to begin with,

44:10

right? You were just hoping to collect

44:12

the premium, and the strategy probably

44:14

will end up disappointing you in that

44:16

case. The investors who do well with the

44:18

wheel aren't the ones who avoid every

44:20

pullback. They're the ones who choose

44:22

businesses they still believe in even

44:24

when these businesses temporarily fall

44:27

and do have pullbacks which inevitably

44:29

will happen. So instead, take a step

44:31

back and ask yourself one simple

44:33

question. Has the business actually

44:35

changed or has only the stock price

44:37

changed? Those are two very different

44:39

things. If the company still executing

44:42

growing revenue in your original reason

44:43

for investing hasn't changed, then hey,

44:46

step back a little bit. Put your

44:47

emotions to the side. I know that it can

44:50

get in the way. and then just accept

44:51

that the stock is going to go lower in

44:54

the short term. Collect the premium and

44:55

continue to run the strategy and don't

44:57

be too concerned the wheel strategy

44:59

isn't working suddenly. So, let's say

45:00

that you get assigned and the shares are

45:03

significantly down. Now that you own

45:05

shares, this is where the second half of

45:06

the wheel begins. Rather than sitting

45:08

there hoping that the stock rebounds, I

45:10

will immediately look to start selling

45:11

covered calls and continue generating

45:13

income via selling premium while I wait.

45:16

That's why it's called the wheel. It

45:18

doesn't stop just because you were

45:19

assigned. And I know what you might be

45:20

thinking right now. You might be

45:22

thinking, well, what if it's down so

45:23

much that I have to sell covered calls

45:25

that are, you know, essentially below my

45:27

average cost. And I will tell you right

45:29

now, that is okay. Because if you sell a

45:31

covered call below your average cost and

45:33

it goes into the money, you can always

45:35

use the rolling strategy and technique

45:37

that I just showed you. You can always

45:39

move the strike price higher. But

45:41

sitting there doing nothing indefinitely

45:43

is honestly not the best way to go

45:45

around it because sometimes stocks can

45:47

fall. they can crash and you know let's

45:50

say a stock comes crashing down and this

45:51

happens even to good companies. It went

45:53

from $80 down to $45 and now you're like

45:56

well I can't sell covered calls because

45:58

it's below my cost basis. What are you

45:59

going to do? Wait potentially 2 years

46:01

for the $45 stock to come back to $8 per

46:04

share after it has crashed so much. No,

46:06

you still ideally want your shares to be

46:08

as productive as possible. Now this

46:10

situation can depend a lot because it

46:12

also depends on technical analysis which

46:13

I'm going to show you very soon in this

46:16

course. So, it can depend on technical

46:17

analysis and sometimes you don't want to

46:19

sell a covered call. But usually,

46:21

probably 85% of the time, I am selling

46:23

covered calls and I'm not waiting for

46:24

the stock to recover if it has gone down

46:26

a lot. If you sell a covered call below

46:28

your call basis and it goes into the

46:30

money, then review the rolling technique

46:31

I taught you several minutes ago or

46:33

toggle the timestamps below to find the

46:34

rolling covered call example. Again,

46:36

let's move over into the next section.

46:38

Let's talk about position sizing. If I

46:40

had to pick one lesson that has

46:41

protected my portfolio more than any

46:44

technical indicator, more than any

46:45

charting pattern or even option

46:47

strategy, it would be position sizing.

46:49

You can survive being wrong in a trade.

46:51

What you can't survive is being too big

46:53

when you are wrong. Think about it this

46:55

way. Imagine you find the perfect

46:57

company, great fundamentals, strong

46:59

growth, beautiful chart, and excellent

47:01

premiums. Does that mean that you should

47:02

put half your portfolio into it?

47:04

Absolutely not. Definitely not. That is

47:07

way too dangerous and way too risky.

47:09

Even the best companies can disappoint.

47:11

Earnings can miss. Markets can panic or

47:13

unexpected news could send a stock down

47:15

20% overnight. That has happened. I have

47:18

seen many people blow up portfolios. I

47:20

never want one position to determine

47:22

whether I had a good year or a bad year.

47:24

That's why I decide my position sizing

47:26

before I ever look at the premium. The

47:28

premium doesn't tell me how much to

47:30

invest. My risk management tells me how

47:32

much I should invest. So, you want to be

47:34

diversified into different companies and

47:36

that can mean different things for

47:37

different portfolios. So if you have a

47:39

bigger portfolio, you want to be in 10

47:41

to 15 positions. If you have a smaller

47:43

portfolio, well maybe you don't have the

47:45

same kind of fortune of having a big

47:46

portfolio. You might have less diversity

47:48

in your portfolio. But it's a very

47:50

important to diversify across different

47:51

companies and across different sectors.

47:54

I always look at diversification,

47:56

capital allocation, and position sizing

47:57

on an individual basis because different

48:00

people will have different risk

48:01

tolerances. But I'm going to do my best

48:03

right now and go over different common

48:05

mistakes that you know will generally be

48:07

applicable to most portfolios. And in

48:09

fact, these common mistakes will

48:11

probably apply to 99% of people. So

48:13

let's now jump into this really

48:14

interesting portion of this course,

48:16

which is common mistakes. And if you

48:17

don't do these common mistakes, you're

48:19

going to have a much better time

48:20

utilizing the wheel strategy. Now, these

48:22

mistakes can literally drain accounts.

48:24

the ones that I've made myself over

48:26

years and the ones that I watch other

48:27

people in my community make over time.

48:29

Even when I warn them, sometimes people

48:31

just don't listen. They have to go

48:32

through some hard times themselves. So,

48:34

you know, hopefully you learn from this

48:35

video and you don't have to go through,

48:37

you know, the hard times yourself. So,

48:38

for each one, I'll show you what the

48:40

mistake is, why it's so tempting, and

48:42

exactly what to do instead. First one is

48:44

the most common one by a mile. It's

48:46

selling your puts too close to the money

48:48

or basically at the money. This just

48:50

means your strike price is sitting right

48:51

around the stock where it's currently

48:53

trading at. Almost every beginner does

48:55

this. And I get why. The closer your

48:57

strike is to the current price, the

48:58

fatter the premium. It's juicy and it's

49:00

tempting. Your eyes go straight to the

49:02

biggest number. And a strike right under

49:04

the stock is always paid the most

49:06

because it has a higher risk. It has a

49:07

higher delta. It feels like you're just

49:09

being efficient. It feels like you're

49:10

getting all this premium. And you might

49:12

even be thinking to yourself, why would

49:14

I collect less premium upfront when I

49:16

could just collect more? And here's what

49:18

the premium is actually costing you. Say

49:20

a stock is trading for $100. You sell $1

49:23

below at a 99 strike and you collect a

49:26

big fat juicy premium, but that option

49:28

probably has 45 even 50 delta, which

49:31

remember is roughly the market's

49:33

estimate of the odds it finishes in the

49:35

money. So you're really looking at close

49:37

to a coin flip that you get for

49:39

assignment. It's roughly 50/50% chance.

49:42

Now drop your strike price down to 90

49:44

put option instead. The premium is a lot

49:46

smaller. Yeah, maybe it's half or even

49:48

less than half the premium, but the

49:49

delta will go way down. Say 20 delta,

49:52

meaning roughly one in five chances of

49:54

assignment. And now the stock has to

49:56

fall a full 10% before you even in

49:59

trouble. That gap between a coin flip

50:01

and a one in five shot is enormous. And

50:03

you're handing away some premium. But

50:05

I'm telling you, in most cases, it's

50:07

well worth it to go for less risk and

50:10

less premium because you're going to

50:11

have a better riskreward ratio. And the

50:14

assignment odds are only half or even

50:16

less than half of a 50 delta option if

50:18

it's 20 delta or so. Right? The bigger

50:20

problem with selling right at the money

50:22

is that even when it goes fine, you get

50:24

assigned. You've bought the stock at

50:26

basically today's price. No discount, no

50:29

cushion. So the second it keeps

50:31

dropping, you're underwater essentially

50:33

from potentially like day one or day

50:35

two. So compare that to a trader who

50:38

sold a $90 put option and if they get

50:40

assigned they brought the same company

50:43

10% cheaper and their cost basis is even

50:46

lower than that after they have

50:47

accounted for premium. Same strategy,

50:50

same stock but one starts in the selling

50:52

puts phase in the hole and the other one

50:54

starts with a real edge. Over dozens of

50:57

trades that difference compounds into a

50:59

completely different account and most

51:00

importantly that account is going to

51:02

experience a lot less volatility. So

51:03

here's what I would actually do. I'm not

51:05

hunting for the fattest premium. I'm

51:07

picking a strike with sensible odds and

51:09

real room underneath. As a general

51:11

guide, I like something puts somewhere

51:13

in the 30 to 35 delta range. And when I

51:15

say 30 to 35 delta range, I mean 0.3 or

51:18

0.35 delta range. That is my sweet spot.

51:22

In my opinion, 20 is a bit too low and

51:25

40 is a bit too high. But I'm going to

51:27

show you how I adapt delta later on in

51:30

my delta system towards the end of this

51:32

free course. I'm going to show you how I

51:34

adapt the strategy with higher

51:36

volatility stocks and the higher

51:38

volatility AI pick that I had in this

51:40

video. But again, coming back around 30

51:43

delta gives me a comfortable probability

51:45

that the put simply expires and I get to

51:48

keep the premium. And if I do get

51:49

assigned, I'm going to be buying the

51:51

stock at a genuine discount to where it

51:53

was trading at, you know, compared to

51:55

the stock price. So, is the premium

51:57

smaller than selling at the money? Of

51:58

course, it's smaller. But is the amount

52:00

of cushion that I get and the discount,

52:03

the value that I get worth it? I believe

52:05

so. Because I'm not just gambling on a

52:07

coin flip for it. I'm collecting a fair

52:09

amount of premium to buy a company that

52:11

I like at a better price. And that's the

52:13

trade I want every single time rather

52:16

than a higher risk trade that has higher

52:18

premium but has less certainty. So the

52:20

next common mistake is where chasing

52:22

premium actually gets people hurt and it

52:25

deserves its own spot. selling puts on

52:27

garbage companies because the names

52:29

throwing off the very big premiums for

52:31

usually the ones in most trouble.

52:33

Beatating down meme stocks, tiny

52:35

speculative names, companies burning

52:37

cash with no real path to profitability.

52:40

Their premiums are enormous and people

52:42

get suckered in by their yield without

52:44

ever stopping to ask what they're

52:46

actually signing up for. And what you're

52:47

signing up for is ownership. Never

52:49

forget that selling a cashsecured put is

52:51

a promise to buy that company if it

52:53

fails. So the real question isn't how

52:55

big is the premium. It's do I actually

52:57

want to own the business at the price

52:58

that I'm selling the strike price

53:00

accounting for the premium that I'm also

53:02

collecting. This is where you have to

53:03

separate two things that look identical

53:05

on a chart but could not be more

53:07

different. A great company that

53:08

temporarily is on sale versus a bad

53:10

company that's cheap for a very good

53:12

reason. A quality business that drops

53:14

because the whole market pull back is an

53:16

opportunity and I'm happy to get a sign

53:18

on a company like that. But a business

53:20

that's fallen because it's generally

53:21

breaking is a fallen knife and the

53:23

premium is just bait to get you to catch

53:25

on. So how do you tell them apart? You

53:27

actually have to look under the hood. Is

53:29

revenue growing or is revenue shrinking?

53:31

Is the company profitable or at least is

53:34

clearly on a path to become profitable

53:36

or are they burning cash at faster and

53:38

bigger rates? And if anything bad

53:40

happens in the market such as a

53:41

pullback, they have enough cash on their

53:43

balance sheet or are they pretty much

53:45

strapped with lots of debt? And last but

53:47

not least, you also want to look at

53:48

qualitative factors. Does this business

53:50

actually have a product or a service or,

53:52

you know, a software that actual

53:54

customers want? Are these customers

53:56

doing more business with this company?

53:58

Or is this company just hype? Is it hot

53:59

on a narrative, but are they not

54:01

actually providing any value for their

54:03

customers? I'm not asking you to become,

54:05

you know, like a Wall Street analyst or

54:06

anything like that. Although I analyze

54:08

stocks every single day. I spend

54:09

multiple hours of research and in my

54:11

community, I say which stocks I think

54:12

are highquality stocks. You just have to

54:14

follow the some of the simple rules that

54:16

I already mentioned. At the end of the

54:17

day, it's also pretty simple. Just want

54:19

to ask yourself, would I be happy owning

54:20

the stock? Or if it goes down to this

54:22

price, would I be upset that I have to

54:24

own this stock? If it's the first case,

54:26

you're fine. It's the second case,

54:28

there's no point of doing the wheel

54:29

strategy at all. The next one is a

54:30

purely psychological one, and I watch

54:32

people do it all the time. Panicking on

54:34

their winners. Yeah, that's right.

54:36

Panicking on the stocks that they're

54:38

winning on, and when their wheel

54:39

strategy wins, they're actually not too

54:41

happy. Let me explain to you how that

54:42

works. So, picture this. You sold the

54:44

put option. Trade goes beautifully.

54:46

Thing is perfect. The option has already

54:47

lost most of its value and you're

54:49

basically at the finish line and smooth

54:50

sailing, right? Well, then the stock has

54:52

one ugly red day. The option ticks up a

54:55

little bit. You panic. You basically

54:58

slam your brakes and then you end up

54:59

getting out of the position as soon as

55:01

you see a little bit of pullback. The

55:02

honest truth is if the option is out of

55:05

the money, a majority of the time I do

55:07

not make any changes. Just because the,

55:10

you know, red candle or some technical

55:12

analysis that you're looking at hasn't

55:13

gone perfectly and the stock looks like

55:15

it's going to come crashing down doesn't

55:17

mean that it's actually going to come

55:18

crashing down. You don't really need to

55:19

take more action than is needed, right?

55:21

So, you don't want to overtrade. I see

55:23

this mistake way too often. Whenever the

55:25

stock pulls back a little bit, their

55:27

sell put is fine. It's out of the money.

55:29

Now, all of a sudden, they start

55:30

thinking differently about the stock.

55:32

But what if the stock is broken? Maybe I

55:33

don't want the stock anymore. That is a

55:35

huge mistake. Once you sold the put,

55:37

time is your employee. Every single day

55:39

that passes, data eats away at the

55:42

options value and pushes the trade in

55:44

your favor. As long as you don't do

55:45

anything, then the option is going to

55:47

completely expire, worthless as long as

55:49

it stays out of the money. And again,

55:50

even if it goes into the money, that's

55:52

not really a problem. If you sold a put

55:53

option on a stock that you wanted to own

55:55

anyways. Okay, so the next one is also

55:57

kind of a psychological one, which is

55:59

basically take emotions out entirely by

56:01

deciding your exit point before you ever

56:03

enter. A lot of people enter a trade,

56:05

everything's going fine. As soon as kind

56:06

of things don't go according to plan,

56:08

all of a sudden they are thinking about

56:10

exiting the trade. But if I had asked

56:12

you did you want to exit the trade at

56:14

this level when you had entered into the

56:15

trade, if I can go back in time would

56:17

say, no, that's not my plan. I think

56:19

this is going to happen. And then all of

56:20

a sudden, your view changes. But your

56:22

view doesn't change based off of off of

56:23

anything fundamentally changing in the

56:25

company. Your view could change based

56:27

off of just your own emotions. So again,

56:28

this is a psychological one. I know when

56:30

I place the trade, what would make me

56:32

close it early, a profit target, a

56:34

specific event, and then I let that rule

56:36

make decision, not my nerves at the

56:39

moment or how I'm feeling. You can

56:40

pretty much tell that you have this

56:41

issue if you're always refreshing your

56:43

positions every hour and seeing, you

56:44

know, where they're going up and down.

56:46

Don't judge the quality of the wheel

56:48

trade by whether you were signed or not.

56:49

Before we jump into technical analysis,

56:51

I want to mention something that's often

56:53

overlooked. Finding a great company is

56:55

only one piece of the puzzle. The bigger

56:57

challenge is figuring out how the

56:58

position fits into your overall

57:00

portfolio. Questions like, "How much

57:02

exposure should I have to one sector?

57:03

How much cash should I have to keep

57:05

available? What if multiple puts get

57:07

assigned during a market correction? Am

57:09

I actually diversified or do all my

57:11

positions move together?" These are all

57:13

the kinds of decisions that separate

57:14

placing individual trades from managing

57:16

an entire portfolio. We're not going to

57:18

dive deeply into that in this video

57:21

because it's a much bigger topic. It's

57:22

something that I spent a lot of time

57:24

working through with my members inside

57:25

my coaching community using real

57:27

portfolios and real positions. I can't

57:29

really do justice by going over a couple

57:31

examples because they are unique to your

57:33

own portfolio. For now, let's focus on

57:35

the next step, which is learning how I

57:37

use technical analysis to decide when to

57:39

sell a put option and not just what

57:41

company that I want to own. So, we're

57:43

going to use American Airlines, but I'm

57:45

also going to do some technical analysis

57:46

on Robin Hood as well for you to see two

57:49

different stocks for this technical

57:50

analysis portion. So, the reason why I'm

57:52

using American Airlines is because I've

57:54

been trading American Airlines for over

57:56

6 years now in my community and

57:58

specifically the past 5 years of stock

58:00

has actually done nothing. So, it's

58:02

extremely valuable as a company to run

58:04

the wheel strategy on just because

58:06

whenever a company is like bouncing up

58:08

and down, that's actually not a bad

58:10

thing at all for the wheel strategy. But

58:12

anyways, let's go to the chart right now

58:14

and I'm going to show you the different

58:15

technical indicators that I look at and

58:17

which ones are important for me. So, we

58:20

can first of all go over RSI. And RSI is

58:23

the relative strength index. And this is

58:25

a technical indicator used in trading to

58:27

measure the speed and strength of price

58:29

movements. So, you can see right now

58:31

that it is at 51 and 51 is right at the

58:34

middle. RSI helps traders identify

58:36

whether an asset may be overbought, so

58:39

potentially due for a pullback, or if

58:41

it's oversold and potentially due for a

58:43

rebound. If the RSI is right at 50, that

58:46

indicates neutral momentum. However, if

58:48

this RSI is 70 or above, that is often

58:52

considered overbought and buying

58:53

pressure has been very strong in the

58:55

price may be due for a correction. So,

58:58

whenever RSI is high, basically it's a

59:00

little bit expensive. And if RSI is low,

59:02

such as 30 or below, that is considered

59:04

oversold. So selling pressure may have

59:06

been way too strong and now the stock is

59:09

due for a bounce. Keep in mind, in a

59:11

strong uptrend, the RSI can actually

59:13

stay 70 or above for a longer period of

59:16

time. And in big downfalls where the

59:18

market is very bearish, the RSI can

59:21

remain below 30 for a significant amount

59:23

of time as well. So you don't want to

59:24

use RSI just by itself. You also want to

59:27

combine it with other factors. My very

59:29

favorite indicator is Ballinger band.

59:31

And this is the most important technical

59:33

indicator that I have taught for years

59:35

now to literally thousands of students

59:37

that has made the biggest difference in

59:39

terms of basically when to use the wheel

59:41

strategy, how to select strike prices.

59:43

The bowlinger band is actually dictates

59:45

for me the strike selection as well. So

59:47

bowlinger band is a technical analysis

59:49

indicator that helps traders understand

59:51

volatility and whether a stock is

59:52

trading relatively high or low compared

59:55

to its recent average. A bullinger band

59:57

consists of a middle band. So you can

59:59

see here that the middle band is

60:01

essentially I'm going to have to scroll

60:02

in here because it's a little bit tight.

60:04

It's right the moving average. Oh wow.

60:07

It is the moving average pretty much. So

60:08

I can't even expand the bowlinger band

60:10

here. You actually can't even see the

60:11

bottom of the bowlinger band here

60:13

because it is the moving average. But

60:14

anyways, the middle of the bowlinger

60:16

band here is actually 1683. Excuse me.

60:18

It's this line right here. So this is

60:19

the middle of the Ballinger band. The

60:21

top of the Ballinger band is 1879. And

60:24

then the bottom of the Ballinger band is

60:25

being covered by the moving average. I

60:27

can actually get rid of the moving

60:28

average, but moving average is very

60:30

important as well. Moving average tells

60:31

you on average for the past whatever

60:33

time period you're using. So for me, I'm

60:35

using the 50-day moving average. You

60:37

know, what is the price that the stock

60:38

has been for the past 50 days on average

60:41

when they take all 50 and then they

60:43

divide it by they add it all up and then

60:44

they divide it by 50. That is basically

60:46

the average. And that's how the line

60:48

here is moving. It's moving up because

60:49

American Airlines continues to kind of

60:51

go up. So the moving average has risen

60:54

with this stock being elevated. But the

60:56

bottom of the bowlinger band is roughly

60:58

1470 something as well. But anyways, the

61:01

whole point of the bowlinger band is it

61:03

tells you whether it's in the middle

61:04

which means that the stock is pretty

61:06

much you know valued at what it should

61:08

be valued at or if it's at the upper end

61:10

of the bowlinger band that would give it

61:11

a two standard deviation or the bottom

61:14

of the bowlinger band is also a two

61:16

standard deviation. A standard deviation

61:18

is essentially how unlikely something is

61:20

to happen. Okay, so think of standard

61:22

deviation as one standard deviation away

61:25

would be about 68% of the data. Okay,

61:29

one standard deviation away is not that

61:31

big of a deal. It's basically 2/3. Okay,

61:34

two certain deviation is 95%. Okay, so

61:38

this is called a bell curve in

61:39

statistics and the more standard

61:41

deviations you go out basically the less

61:44

likely something is to happen. Now the

61:46

good news is at two standard deviations

61:48

that's already 95%. Three standard

61:50

deviations is 99%. So this is a two

61:53

standard deviation bowlinger band. And

61:56

essentially this is capturing 95% of

61:58

what the stock should be doing. If I

62:01

were to change the bowlinger band to

62:03

three, you'll see that this is going to

62:05

expand. So if I go for three here, this

62:08

is now going to capture in 99% of the

62:10

data. So you can see it's about to

62:12

expand. So I click done here. You can

62:14

see now that the bowlinger band top it

62:17

has risen almost to 20 and the bottom

62:19

has fallen almost to 1387. So series

62:22

deviation really explains the

62:23

variability of what can happen right to

62:26

the stock and bowlinger band is not only

62:29

used in stock trading it's used in many

62:31

areas of life whether it's human hike so

62:35

human height is on a bell curve as well

62:37

or standard deviation curve and many

62:39

many other things. So here the bowlinger

62:41

band tells me where the stock is likely

62:43

to trade. I'm going to change this back

62:45

to two because I just simply don't use

62:47

three. I think three is just overkill

62:49

and it's not that useful. But to get to

62:52

the conclusion, if you're running the

62:53

wheel strategy and you're selling puts,

62:55

you would want to sell towards the

62:56

bottom of the bowlinger band. That would

62:58

be a great indicator. If you're selling

63:00

covered calls and you don't want to get

63:01

rid of the stock, you would ideally sell

63:03

closer to the top of the bowlinger band.

63:04

The bands automatically expand and

63:07

contract depending on volatility. So, if

63:09

the stock is hugging the upper bowlinger

63:11

band and it's running 15 to 20% higher

63:14

in a short period of time, well, I would

63:15

usually become more selective. I don't

63:17

really want to run the wheel stock on a

63:19

company that would be up 15 or 20% and

63:22

it's at the top of its bowlinger band

63:24

because that would indicate that the

63:25

stock is overbought and it's pretty

63:28

expensive. So, I would not want to start

63:30

the wheel strategy by selling puts on a

63:32

stock that's already up so much and at

63:34

the top of its bowlinger band right

63:35

here. Basically, it's right at the

63:38

middle of the bowlinger band. I would

63:39

call American Airlines fairly valued

63:41

here. And actually, whether you're

63:43

selling puts or covered calls, you would

63:45

be pretty indifferent. So, you would be

63:47

able to run the wheel strategy by simply

63:49

selling puts here. Let me scroll in. For

63:51

example, if the stock is at 1631, right?

63:54

You can sell some put options and you

63:57

can go for something around 15550

64:00

and the premium subtracted from the

64:03

strike price would probably get you very

64:05

very close to the bottom of the

64:06

bowlinger band. And honestly, you don't

64:08

even have to be that good. You can still

64:10

sell puts right at $16 just because

64:13

based off technical analysis, the stock

64:15

is not expensive, right? The RSI is not

64:18

70. The stock is not at the top of the

64:19

bowlinger band. So, anything around the

64:21

middle or even lower than the middle is

64:23

great. Now the bowlinger band in of

64:25

itself is also just an indicator. So at

64:27

the end of the day the stock market

64:28

moves based off of emotions, herd

64:31

behavior, psychology in the market,

64:33

fundamentals of a company and

64:34

technicals. Okay? So I want you to keep

64:36

that in mind and whenever you're using

64:38

bowlinger band definitely use it as a

64:40

strong indicator for price action and

64:43

also combine it with the RSI. So if the

64:46

bowlinger band here was, you know, very

64:48

tight and American Airlines was above

64:50

the bowlinger band, but the RSI was like

64:52

30, right? That means high bowlinger

64:55

band, RSI low. Those two things usually

64:57

don't happen. But if that was the case,

64:59

that would be a very, very weird

65:01

situation. It would be difficult for you

65:03

to make a decision on, you know, what

65:05

strike to really select for the wheel

65:06

strategy. But if it's at the bottom of

65:08

the bowlinger band and the RSI is low,

65:10

then that is pretty much a good time for

65:13

a wheel trader to essentially start

65:15

selling put options. If it's at the top

65:17

of the bowlinger band and the RSI is

65:18

high, then you just wouldn't want to

65:20

sell. You wouldn't want to run the wheel

65:21

strategy at all. So when Bowlinger band

65:23

begins to expand, volatility is

65:25

increasing. So as a wheel trader, that

65:26

usually means that option premiums are

65:28

actually becoming more attractive. But

65:30

it also means that position sizing

65:32

becomes even more important. I don't

65:34

really get excited because a stock is

65:35

moving. I get interested because

65:37

expanding bowling your bands often mean

65:39

that the market is finally paying enough

65:41

premium to compensate me for taking on

65:44

assignment risk. Although assignment

65:45

risk isn't really that much of an issue

65:47

as we discussed in this course because

65:48

we want to get assigned in the wheel

65:50

strategy. But still, it's really nice to

65:52

get paid high premiums for having a

65:54

lower entry point. If the bands are

65:56

expanding because of paddic selling at a

65:58

company I already want to own, well

66:00

that's often when the wheel becomes the

66:01

most attractive. Premiums rise precisely

66:04

when others are least comfortable

66:06

selling puts. And when people are being

66:08

fearful, it's always good as an investor

66:10

to be greedy and take advantage of that

66:12

opportunity. So when bowling your bands

66:14

start expanding, I don't really

66:15

automatically think buy or sell. I think

66:18

about volatility. And for a wheel

66:19

trader, volatility is often where the

66:21

best premiums live. The key isn't only

66:23

chasing premiums. It's making sure that

66:25

you're getting paid enough to own a

66:27

company that you'd be happy holding if

66:28

you were signed. So this is basically

66:30

like the lay of the land here for

66:32

technical analysis on American Airlines

66:34

and in general. I'm going to go to Robin

66:36

Hood stock. Now I want to show you some

66:37

technical analysis on Robin Hood as well

66:40

because Robin Hood is a stock that I own

66:42

my personal portfolio and I've seen a

66:44

lot of investors make a massive mistake

66:46

and I actually have the wheel strategy

66:49

on Robin Hood myself right now. So I'll

66:51

kind of explain to you the technical

66:53

analysis and we'll kind of go from

66:55

there. So Robin has pulled back a lot

66:57

and a lot of investors have gotten very

66:59

fearful of the stock because they think

67:00

that the stock won't recover and

67:02

essentially a lot of investors made a

67:04

mistake of getting out of the stock and

67:06

basically just recovered on them and

67:08

that was yeah just massive loss. So you

67:11

can see here when I was trading at these

67:13

levels it was actually very confusing

67:15

because the stock actually was already

67:17

on a downfall. However, the downfall

67:20

continued. So, as a wheel trader, of

67:23

course, here this would have been a very

67:25

difficult time. And I guess this is a

67:27

good time to talk about managing the

67:29

wheel strategy as well. And whenever you

67:31

get signed and the stock comes crashing

67:33

down and you're well below your average

67:36

cost. So, for example, let's say that we

67:38

went down from $100 here. We sold a 95

67:43

put and then all of a sudden, let's say

67:45

we're somewhere in this range of $80.

67:48

Okay? And our average cost is 95. Well,

67:50

of course, if you got assigned for 95

67:52

and the stock is at 80, that's $15 away.

67:56

If you start selling 95 covered calls,

67:59

they are not going to be going for that

68:01

much money, right? Because they're $15

68:03

away. So, as a wheel trader who is in

68:06

that position, it's actually not as hard

68:08

as you might think. So, a lot of

68:10

investors start to just get really kind

68:12

of depressed. They're like, I can't make

68:14

any money. I'm stuck with this stock.

68:16

But hold on, you're not really stuck

68:18

with the stock. you like the stock to

68:20

begin with, your mindset should not have

68:22

changed that the stock is down $15.

68:24

That's part of the market and that's

68:26

part of volatility. But another thing is

68:28

you can just simply sell 90 covered

68:29

calls. So if you sell 90 covered calls,

68:32

which is below your average cost and

68:34

let's say you get one or $2, right? Even

68:37

including the premium, you're below your

68:38

average cost. But we talked about in

68:40

this course rolling. So if you just

68:43

simply become in the money, you just

68:45

roll higher need. So if you sell a cover

68:48

call under your cost basis, that's fine

68:50

because you're still generating premium

68:53

income and it's better than just sitting

68:55

and doing nothing. So a lot of times

68:57

investors will wait for the stock to

68:59

recover and that can work out. Let's

69:01

talk about managing a bad case scenario.

69:03

So Robin Hood fell and you're selling 95

69:05

covered calls. Let's go from this time

69:07

period of $80. So from February 4th, if

69:11

I basically take a line here from

69:14

February 4th, it popped up above here

69:16

actually on 420, which was actually a

69:19

traditional expiration because whenever

69:20

I sell options, I sell traditional

69:22

expiration. So let me just check. April

69:24

17th was a traditional expiration. So on

69:28

April 17th essentially, yeah, you would

69:30

be in a pretty difficult situation,

69:32

let's say, where the stock recovered to

69:35

$90. Actually, no. That's perfect

69:37

because if you did a 90 covered call,

69:40

you would literally be in the perfect

69:42

situation because it would go from 80 to

69:44

90 and you could just decide here on 417

69:47

expiration or just the day before

69:48

expiration. You can either roll your 90

69:50

covered call higher or you can just let

69:52

it sell. You wouldn't want to sell at

69:54

all, right? The whole point of managing

69:55

the strategy when it's losing money is

69:57

you wouldn't want to sell below your

69:58

total cost. So, yeah, you would just

69:59

roll up here. So you would roll up from

70:02

90 to say 92 or 95, right? You would

70:06

roll up by two or three or five dollars.

70:08

Well, guess what? If you rolled up, it

70:10

would cost you very little because this

70:12

would basically be an out- of-the- money

70:13

option. It's in the money, but very,

70:15

very slightly. You would actually have a

70:17

gate on the covered call. You'd be in

70:18

the interesting situation where this

70:20

covered call would have a gain, but it

70:23

would be an in the money. And that's

70:24

possible as well. An in the money

70:26

covered call could still be for a gain.

70:28

If you sold it for $3, but it's only in

70:30

the money by $1, you'd still be up $2.

70:33

So here, this interesting case that I'm

70:36

randomly showing you how I would think

70:38

about it, it's not that random because

70:39

this is actually the situation that I

70:41

was in more or less. I have 95 covered

70:43

calls on Robin Hood, but I'm taking it

70:45

down to 90 um to make the situation even

70:48

harder to show you how even a hard

70:49

situation you can work through really.

70:51

So 80 to 90, you would just roll it up

70:54

to 92 or 95. And guess what? Like Robin

70:57

Hood just went down and you made all

71:00

that premium. You collected a bunch of

71:01

premium here. Now it's coming down and

71:04

you don't really do anything. From April

71:06

expiration to May expiration, you would

71:08

do nothing and your option would expire

71:10

out of money again. So you would collect

71:11

premium income doing literally nothing

71:13

for the whole month. Then let's say you

71:15

sell more covered calls. Now your

71:16

covered call would likely go into the

71:18

money because on the next expiration

71:21

which is around $620

71:23

has basically recovered to $105.

71:26

At this point you would have 95 covered

71:28

call and here you would probably have

71:30

like 100 covered call give or take,

71:32

right? It depends on the situation and

71:34

obviously I'm giving you scenario

71:35

analysis. It's going to very much depend

71:38

on your mindset at that moment. How much

71:40

upside do you want etc. But you could go

71:42

from 90 to 95 and then here you'll

71:45

probably be around 100 and you would be

71:47

in the money again. But again, you're

71:48

not in the money by that much. Do you

71:50

see how much you can really change to

71:52

adjust the strike price? You can't

71:53

adjust it by like $10 or $20 as I showed

71:56

you earlier in this course that you know

71:57

I had to Google covered call which was

71:59

at 300 and I could not take it to 350

72:01

without paying a debit. And I told you

72:03

guys that paying a debit was fine. Well,

72:05

here the situation although it's a

72:07

volatile stock still not that hard to

72:09

manage. I mean it's it's completely

72:11

possible to manage even with a lot of

72:13

volatility like this. So keep in mind

72:14

the wheel strategy is actually very

72:16

versatile. So despite volatility the

72:19

stock you can always use rolling as a

72:21

strategy and adjust your strike prices

72:23

even if the technical analysis is quote

72:25

unquote I guess all over the place. All

72:27

right let's get into the bonus chapter

72:29

here in this course of my favorite AI

72:31

stock for the wheel strategy right now

72:33

and that is Coreweave. Coreweave is

72:35

interesting because they're not trying

72:36

to beat Nvidia, although they are an AI

72:39

stock. They're trying to become the

72:41

company that rents Nvidia GPUs to the

72:43

entire AI industry. Think of it like

72:45

Nvidia sells shovels. Well, Coree rents

72:47

the shovels by the hour. That's a

72:49

business model that investors are

72:51

starting to pay close attention to and

72:52

the stock actually fell very heavily.

72:55

So, let's take a look at the technicals

72:56

and see what I'm looking at. So, here's

72:58

Cororeweave. It's $80 per share and

72:59

Corweave is actually a Neocloud company.

73:02

A neocloud is a newer type of cloud

73:03

provider that is built specifically for

73:05

AI workloads rather than general purpose

73:07

cloud computing. And unlike traditional

73:09

hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure or

73:11

Google cloud, Neil cloud's focus on

73:13

providing massive amounts of GPU compute

73:15

for training and running AI models. So

73:17

what I'm looking at here is thatweave is

73:20

currently trading for $43 billion in

73:22

market cap. The most interesting part is

73:24

that the stock is down 20% in the last 1

73:26

month alone, but year to date the stock

73:28

has a positive return of 11%. Now,

73:30

here's what I'm going to do. I'm going

73:31

to look at the technical analysis with

73:33

you. And I already have RSI here. I'm

73:35

going to get rid of correlation because

73:37

we don't need that right now. I'm going

73:38

to go to moving average. Put the moving

73:40

average here, which is 50 days. And 50

73:42

days is perfectly fine. 50-day moving

73:44

average basically says the last 50 days,

73:46

what is the average price that the stock

73:47

has been at? And Coree has significantly

73:50

pulled below their moving average over

73:52

50 days. So, this is a really good

73:54

indicator that the stock has been way

73:56

too oversold in the short term. And

73:58

also, look at the RSI. is currently

74:00

sitting at 35. Now again, you don't have

74:02

to use this stock. You can always pick

74:03

different stocks, but I want to show you

74:04

like live example what I'm looking at

74:06

right now as I'm planning to do the

74:07

wheel strategy on this stock. So,

74:09

another reason that I picked this stock

74:10

despite the dramatic kind of uh pullback

74:12

here is because training and running AI

74:14

models requires enormous amounts of GPU

74:16

compute. Most companies don't want to

74:18

spend billions building their own AI

74:20

data centers, so they rent out compute

74:22

instead. And Corey specializes in

74:24

providing cloud infrastructure built

74:25

specifically for AI workloads rather

74:27

than general cloud computing. And one of

74:29

the reasons that investors were excited

74:31

is the huge backlog that Core Weef has.

74:33

But lately, the stock has fallen out of

74:35

favor. And it's not really because the

74:36

company did anything specifically. It's

74:38

just because AI stocks are experiencing

74:40

a lot of volatility in mid July as I'm

74:42

making this video. Now, management has

74:44

reported tens of billions of dollars in

74:45

contracted future revenue, giving

74:47

investors great visibility into future

74:49

growth than many software companies.

74:51

Recent reports suggest backlog has

74:53

continued to grow significantly as AI

74:55

demand expands. So Nvidia isn't simply

74:57

selling GPUs to Cororeweave. The company

74:59

actually has a deep strategic

75:00

relationship and Nvidia has expanded its

75:02

investment in Coree while continuing to

75:04

support its infrastructure growth.

75:06

Cororeef has secured major agreements

75:08

with leading AI companies including

75:10

OpenAI, Meta, Antropic and others which

75:12

helps validate demand for its

75:14

specialized infrastructure. Cororeef has

75:16

relied on substantial financing to fund

75:18

GPU purchases in data center expansion

75:20

leaving it with a highly leveraged

75:21

balance sheet. So that is part of the

75:23

risk. Now, that's why my position size

75:25

won't be too big on this position. I'm

75:27

only going to be investing just two

75:28

contracts here, which would basically be

75:30

$15,000 worth of risk. However, again,

75:32

with the wheel strategy, you can't

75:34

really look at the total capital that

75:35

you have as fully at risk because that

75:37

would require the stock to go down to

75:39

zero. Is that I basically look at it as

75:41

$15,000 worth my capital will be tied

75:43

up. And the strike that I'm going to

75:45

select is going to be $5 lower than the

75:47

current price. So, currently, Cory is

75:49

trading for $80 per share. I'm going to

75:51

do two contracts as soon as the market

75:52

opens up at $75 per share. All right. So

75:54

now I'm going to show you in my app what

75:56

I'm going to do as soon as soon as the

75:57

market opens up. So I'm going to go to

75:58

trade options and I want to go for a one

76:01

month expiry. So now it's like middle of

76:03

July. So I'm going to go for the third

76:05

traditional expiry Friday of August,

76:08

which is going to be August 21st. So I'm

76:10

going to scroll down here to 75. And as

76:12

you will see the premium here is

76:15

absolutely insane. And it's actually

76:17

very easy number to look at because

76:18

$7.50 50 is 10% of $75. So here the math

76:23

is actually breaking out pretty clearly

76:25

and of course this is I mean attractive

76:28

is to say the least. This is clearly

76:30

very attractive premium but what is the

76:32

risk here? Well the IV is 102% and again

76:35

as we looked at the technical analysis

76:37

coreweave is significantly under its

76:39

moving average. It's actually at the

76:40

bottom of its bowlinger band as well

76:42

which I didn't show you but you've

76:43

already seen bowlinger band in my

76:44

technical analysis portion on other

76:46

stocks. So the combination here of like

76:48

a checklist that I look for which is

76:50

under moving average, low RSI, bottom of

76:52

the bowlinger band, all those three

76:54

check out and really strong relationship

76:56

with Nvidia obviously helps as well. But

76:58

of course, I don't want to make this

76:59

video about one single stock. I just

77:01

want to show you my system and how I use

77:03

the Google strategy on a specific stock

77:04

when I see an opportunity that's

77:06

attractive. And this is one that I find

77:08

very attractive. Delta here is a little

77:09

bit higher.35 and I'm actually okay with

77:12

that because the premium is compensating

77:14

me very well. Also, the risk-reward

77:15

ratio I find very attractive. All right,

77:17

now I want to move over into one more

77:19

bonus or gift section of my entire

77:22

course here. This is going to be one of

77:23

the last sections that I give to you.

77:25

And this is what I call my 2040 delta

77:27

system. So, most people learn the wheel

77:29

using the same delta. And that's

77:30

traditionally what I have taught a lot

77:32

on YouTube is I will teach, hey, 30

77:34

delta is my sweet spot. Go ahead and run

77:35

with that as a beginner, right? But I

77:37

want to teach you something a little bit

77:38

more advanced and actually show you what

77:40

I actually do within my own program and

77:42

how I actually adjust delta. And again,

77:44

it's called the 240 delta system. And

77:45

here's how it works. So, I don't always

77:47

choose the same delta. Of course, I

77:49

adapt to different stocks based off of

77:51

their technical analysis. And the

77:53

simplest way that I can show you this is

77:55

basically let's go for a safer stock

77:57

versus a riskier stock. And the way that

77:58

I do this is essentially let's say that

78:00

I want to dial my risk lower. I want to

78:03

be safer. I want less volatile in my

78:05

portfolio and I want to focus more on

78:06

income. Coreweave here clearly 75 fight

78:09

price has $7.50.

78:11

I mean, to call that a big fat juicy

78:13

steak would be kind of an

78:14

understatement, right? It's borderline

78:16

unrealistic as it's so attractive. So,

78:19

what I want to do instead is I want to

78:20

kind of lower the risk because on a

78:22

long-term basis, if I want to be more

78:24

consistent, stable with the wheel

78:26

strategy, I want to have less chance of

78:28

assignment, right? Because assignment is

78:29

a danger that you get assigned and now

78:31

you have to be in the wheel strategy,

78:32

your capital's tied up. That's not a

78:33

fully bad thing, but again, if you can

78:35

sell premium and it can expire out of

78:37

the money many, many times, why not? the

78:39

premium's attractive and you don't get

78:40

assigned. Great. So, I'm going to show

78:42

you an adaptation here. I'm going to go

78:44

lower, a lot lower. Okay, so this 65 put

78:47

here has a 21 delta. And this is where

78:50

my first adaptation really comes in. The

78:52

2040 delta is 20 delta on the selling

78:55

put side. So, here with selling a put

78:57

option, I can go a lot lower delta. But

78:59

because the implied volatility is so

79:00

high because it's an AI stock, this is

79:02

exactly what I would be doing. Instead

79:04

of going for higher delta, I would be

79:06

going for lower delta if I wanted less

79:08

volatility. So look, the bid ask is

79:10

great. The IV here is extremely high,

79:12

but the delta is very low. So how come

79:14

I'm collecting so much premium because

79:16

this is actually very attractive, yet it

79:19

is very, very out of the money. I mean,

79:21

$65 is a full $15 away from the current

79:24

price of where poor Wee was trading at

79:26

making his video at $80 per share. How's

79:28

that possible? Well, AI stocks have a

79:30

lot of implied volatility. So investors

79:32

that are selling premium could still

79:34

collect large premiums without having to

79:36

have a high delta. So the adaptation

79:38

that I'm making for a lot of these high

79:40

volatile dangerous stocks and because I

79:42

tell my investing community a making

79:43

premium is great building accounts is

79:45

great but paying attention to risk

79:47

management is also very important. So I

79:48

simply just change the delta to 20 or 21

79:51

right here in this example. Now I'll

79:52

tell you the other adaptation for the

79:54

other side of the coin because once you

79:56

get a sign here you may get a sign here.

79:58

Although $65 would be like kind of a

80:00

steal. It seems like a steal of a price

80:01

at this moment. It's $15 away. The

80:03

stock's already down a lot right? and it

80:05

was like a $100 stock not that long ago.

80:07

Now 65, great. Well, I'm getting a

80:09

value. I'm getting a bargain where I'm

80:11

happy to own it. So, the step number one

80:12

is sell puts at 20 delta. I think of

80:15

this specifically as casting a wide

80:17

fishing net. A 20 delta puts a wider

80:18

net. I'm still getting paid, but I'm

80:20

giving the stock plenty of room to move

80:22

naturally without really forcing myself

80:23

into ownership every month. Right? I may

80:25

sell this. And again, 20 delta means two

80:27

out of 10 times I will get assigned. So,

80:29

two out of 10 months I might get

80:30

assigned. So, I may be running the

80:31

strategy for 10 months until I actually

80:34

get assigned into it. And I'd rather

80:35

collect, you know, eight smaller

80:36

premiums and, you know, before actually

80:38

getting assigned those other two two out

80:40

of 10 times. So, I don't really optimize

80:42

for premium. I optimize for purchase

80:44

price. That is a very important

80:46

distinction. I'm going to say one more

80:47

time. I don't optimize for premium. I

80:49

optimize for purchase price. So, premium

80:51

comes and premium goes. The price you

80:53

agree to buy the stock is a very

80:55

impactful number for you because that is

80:57

effectively your average cost that

80:59

matters a lot more in the long run

81:01

wealth building phase before I show you

81:03

the covered call portion of things. You

81:05

know looking at this position with this

81:06

high IV and this really attractive

81:08

premium reminds me of one of my

81:09

students. So one of my first students

81:11

this was a long time ago. This is 6

81:13

years ago was a really hardworking

81:14

farmer named Dale. And six years ago, I

81:16

was teaching him the wheel strategy and

81:18

he had the same exact discussion with

81:19

the about Delta because, you know,

81:21

obviously a hired Delta is very

81:22

attractive. And I remember having, you

81:24

know, one hour sit down with him on Zoom

81:25

and Dale had started was roughly $90,000

81:28

and in the first 3 months his portfolio

81:29

actually grew to $118,000 while

81:31

generating close to $7,000 per month in

81:33

premium. So his portfolio was doing

81:35

extremely well. He was very happy and it

81:37

was, you know, pretty smooth sailing

81:38

until some volatility came in.

81:40

Everything was very, very smooth. But

81:42

then, you know, early success really

81:43

started making him a little bit more

81:45

aggressive, which, you know, I'm not

81:47

really surprised that happened because,

81:48

you know, when things are easy, you feel

81:50

really light. You feel like there's more

81:51

that you can do. Well, you know, of

81:53

course, that was the situation. And Dale

81:54

began increasing his deltas on his cash

81:56

secured puts because, well, his strike

81:58

prices continued to get higher and

81:59

higher because the premium was more

82:01

attractive. It made sense logically,

82:03

right? You know, why not collect more

82:04

premium? And for a short amount of time,

82:06

like that first three months, it ended

82:07

up doing pretty well. You know, I still

82:09

remember Dale was, you know, he has some

82:10

cattle and he was like, "I'm very happy

82:12

with my premium, man. I might sell some

82:13

of my cattle." I was like, "Dude, we're

82:15

only three months in. Take it easy.

82:16

Option trading is great, but we got to

82:18

go through a little bit more time for

82:19

you to get more comfortable." And his

82:20

monthly income continued to increase as

82:22

he was, you know, basically doing more

82:24

higher delta. And it looked like he had

82:26

really discovered an easy way to

82:27

accelerate this strategy. And then

82:29

several of the stocks that he was

82:30

trading ended up declining at the same

82:32

time because, of course, we were still

82:34

trading tech stocks even 6 years ago.

82:36

People think history really is the same,

82:38

right? I mean, we look at AI stocks

82:39

right now. They're very popular. But six

82:41

years ago, we were trading Meta, we're

82:42

trading Apple, we were trading tech

82:44

stocks because they also had high

82:45

implied volatility and high growth.

82:47

We've been a really good time for mag

82:48

seven stocks. But anyways, uh because

82:50

Dale had a, you know, sold higher delta

82:52

puts closer to the current stock price.

82:54

He was getting assigned left and right.

82:55

All his capital was being tied up much

82:57

faster and at much higher strike prices

82:59

and a large portion of his buying power

83:01

had become tied up in shares. And

83:02

suddenly he no longer really had that

83:04

flexibility to take advantage of better

83:06

opportunities because there was

83:07

volatility 6 years ago as well believe

83:09

it or not. Um but yeah he couldn't

83:11

really take advantage of opportunities

83:12

because stocks were coming at lower

83:14

prices but he was already fully

83:15

invested. So the extra premium that he

83:17

had collected for a few weeks you know

83:19

even for several months those first

83:20

three months was really kind of small. I

83:23

don't want to call it bad but it was

83:24

small compared with the losses and

83:26

capital committed created by those

83:28

assignments. So it wasn't so much that

83:29

he lost money. just had slower capital

83:32

churning in the wheel. So, he was doing

83:34

well, but it wasn't churning as fast

83:36

because in the wheel strategy, you

83:37

either want to collect the premium and

83:38

not get assigned or if assigned, you

83:40

know, do covered calls and get out of

83:42

that strategy. But when you're fully

83:44

tied up and you have covered calls, then

83:46

you know, you're not really churning in

83:48

the wheel if the market isn't as

83:49

volatile and if it's just going down and

83:51

you don't have any cash to put to work,

83:53

well, it kind of takes some forward

83:54

planning to have some cash available for

83:56

the wheel strategy and to take advantage

83:58

of times where there is a pullback. So

83:59

really the frustration was around being

84:01

patient and inefficient and we were kind

84:03

of going back and forth on you know what

84:05

was the best situation for him because

84:06

you know once he saw more premium he

84:08

wanted to go all for it you know it was

84:09

like he wanted the cake and eat it too.

84:11

So most people aren't really running the

84:13

wheel that properly because they're

84:14

running a premium chasing strategy and

84:16

calling it the wheel but it's really you

84:18

know they're running more of a you know

84:20

high delta uh strategy. So basically

84:22

what that would look like it was

84:23

basically like the opposite of what I

84:24

just showed you with the 65 strike price

84:27

being super out of the money. for

84:28

example, Dale will be like, you know,

84:29

let me go for 77 and a half, right? And

84:31

here you can see that the delta is

84:33

point4 and yeah, I mean the the premium

84:35

is ridiculous, very high. But if you're

84:37

assigned here in a stock that has more

84:39

volatility continues to go down, you

84:41

know, sometimes I want to wait. I don't

84:43

want to sell a covered call right away.

84:44

Well, then you're kind of tied up and

84:45

you're not churning your capital as

84:47

fast. You're not really churning the

84:48

wheel. You're doing the wheel, but

84:49

you're not churning it. You know what I

84:51

mean? So, it needs to be churning. So,

84:52

that's really an important factor as

84:54

well. majority of the ISOs are going to

84:56

have higher IV and it's going to be a

84:58

lot better to be more conservative with

85:00

your entry and that's why you know I'm

85:02

teaching this adaptation which is the

85:03

2040 strategy. So the 20 refers to

85:05

selling puts and by now you probably

85:07

guess that the 40 refers to covered

85:10

calls. So why would you want to do 40 on

85:11

covered calls? Let's say we got a sign

85:13

on core weave and our average cost is

85:14

80. here. If our average cost is 80,

85:17

look, I can actually go for like a 80

85:20

covered call, which is a little bit in

85:22

the money, slightly in the money, but I

85:24

could literally go for this 80 and not

85:27

have any upside at all. And why could I

85:29

do that? Well, it's because it's 10 full

85:31

dollars of premium here. There's 10 full

85:33

dollars. So, even if I forced, I had

85:35

that risk, the danger of assignment.

85:38

Okay, I have the danger of getting

85:39

assigned at 80, but that doesn't take

85:40

away the premium that I collect whenever

85:42

I sell this covered call as a second

85:44

portion of the wheel strategy. Doesn't

85:45

take that away from me. So, if I got in,

85:47

I got paid premium and now I can get out

85:49

at the same price as I got in, but you

85:51

know, I don't get any upside on the

85:53

stock. I just have the premium only.

85:54

Fine, because AI stocks have so much

85:56

implied volatility. The premiums are

85:59

exaggerated. They're higher than normal.

86:01

So, because that is the case, I'm I'm

86:03

okay going with 40 delta. I'm okay with,

86:05

you know, I called it 2040 delta system,

86:06

but you can go 2050 delta system, right?

86:09

So, you can go higher in terms of a

86:10

delta when you're looking to exit the

86:12

trade as long as it makes sense. And it

86:14

makes sense when you're, you know, exit

86:15

price is higher than your average cost.

86:17

Hopefully, this video gave you a

86:19

completely different way of thinking

86:20

about the wheel strategy. It touches

86:22

some basics and it touches some more

86:23

advanced ways to think about it as well.

86:25

Remember, this isn't about chasing the

86:26

biggest premium. It's about building a

86:28

repeatable process that you can use for

86:30

years to come. If you enjoy this style

86:32

86:34
