Oh, all right, guys. You know, let's uh

grab a drink. I don't know. Grab

whatever makes you feel better. Let's

talk about the market. Let's go through

my portfolio. I'm going to open up my

Rob Moon app. And you know what? I'm not

so much planned for this video. I just

want to kind of go over the hardships

many of us are facing so we can kind of

understand what's going on and what we

can potentially do about it. Here's my

portfolio. It's at 3.7 million and I

have lost Let's see what my one week is.

I'm down 4%. I'm down $156,000.

[sighs]

That sucks. That sucks. That's probably

one of my worst performances whole year.

This is really tough. But hey, is my

portfolio doing really bad compared to

where the market's at? Oh no. Let's see

what the S&P 500 is down. SPY.

Let's see what we have for the one week.

One week is down 1%. So, I'm actually

doing pretty bad. I'm doing really,

really bad. And why am I making this

video and why is this on video

unplanned? Well, I just want to give you

the honest truth, the raw truth of

what's going on in my portfolio and see

what we can learn from it. Here's some

of the positions that I have. I have

options. Obviously, my channel is mainly

about options. I've been trading for

over 12 years and

looks like option trading is uh fairly

risky. That's what it looks like. But

let's do some analysis here on what's

actually going on. Um we can see one of

my biggest losses actually Google. And

[laughter] I'm going to need a sip for

this one.

It's water, by the way. I don't drink. I

don't smoke. We're here just to make

some money. Google down $91,000 and I'm

actually running a sell put strategy on

Google and boy oh boy is Google

detracting in my portfolio.

It's one of the biggest pain points in

the portfolio but other than that it's

pretty pretty stable. All right, so my

biggest position is actually Walmart in

my community. We have done pretty well

on Walmart. When I opened up Walmart a

while ago it was what $71 per share.

We've been holding it. And every time I

have my Monday and Wednesday calls, I

say, "Guys, we don't have to be sexy. We

don't have to chase AI stocks. I know

there's a lot of YouTubers getting lots

of views on YouTube on some AI stocks

that are really hot, but guys, that's

fine. We can have a portion of our

portfolio in something that's hot. Let's

have a bigger portion and what's more

stable." All right. Right. So, I'm a fan

of stability and I'd argue that my

portfolio, although down for the week

4%, which is sucks, is actually pretty

decent compared to um just a lot of

these tech stocks that are down like

double digits. Just crazy crashes in the

market. So much money is being wiped

out. And I'm not going to give you a

whole kind of spiel on why that's

happening or or what's why they're

losing so much. I'm sure you've already

watched other YouTube videos. This is

more so on how I'm managing my own

portfolio and sharing with you how I

view this. So I'm opening up my

portfolio just to look at it myself

first time today because it's a Friday

and I had Monday and Wednesday coaching

calls and on Friday I like to not look

at the portfolio because I have noticed

and I studied finance. The more you look

at your portfolio and the more you try

to trade the worse results you end up

getting because you overtrade and you do

too much and you end up panic selling.

So, I see some of my positions down, but

I'm man, I'm not doing anything about it

because there's nothing to do about it.

I have highquality companies. For

example, Walmart as the first one here.

I'm up 47,000. I mean, not long ago, I

was up over $500 something,000 on it,

but I'm not making any changes.

Actually, it's interesting. I have a

covered call at 110 and now it's out of

the money. Wow. It's out of the money

now. 7% down on Walmart. insane. But

yeah, Walmart hasn't been a huge

detracting factor in the community at

all. Walmart has been pretty stable.

Let's kind of go through more of the

positions that I have. Amazon. Now,

Amazon, I have $650,000.

So, that's a pretty large position, of

course, and I'm actually up on the

position, doing pretty well. 33K on the

options as well. So, this is this is

actually one of my better positions I'm

very happy with. I'm going to continue

to hold Amazon. Keep going here into

Palunteer. Palanteer 123. I think

Palanteer is cheap. 9 days left, guys,

until Palanteer has their Q2 earnings.

So, I bought Palunteer IPO and I'm still

holding it. I've had Palunteer IPO in my

Roth IRA, which my personal Roth IRA, I

started with like 10K is now at 100K.

It's a really small Roth IRA that I

have, nothing huge, but pounds here did

really well if you're an early investor.

And I want to just say like if you're

late, if you're late to the party and

you know you just started investing

recently, you're a beginner or maybe

you've been investing for a while, you

started putting more money to work

recently and the market pulled back and

you're feeling a lot of pain. I feel

you. We're all feeling pain together and

that's fine. The market's not supposed

to get all of us wealthy overnight. That

doesn't happen. It's supposed to take

time and if you do the smart moves, if

you have the proper asset allocation, if

you have the proper risk management,

it's not really a problem. I'm not so

concerned here being down 4% because I

know I'm going to make it back. I know

I'm going to make back in a pretty short

amount of time. Honestly, as long as the

market doesn't crash, of course, there's

a risk the market crashes further, but

I'm not going to watch a ton of videos

and try to like predict the future or,

you know, just read the news all the

time. It's not going to help, right?

Stock market goes up longterm. That's

all you have to know. Don't try to

predict anything short term. If you guys

are like watching a ton of videos and

you're trying to see what's going on in

Korea, which is which is crazy actually,

genuinely crazy how a lot of people had

a margin call in Korea because they all

bet on their two biggest stocks, right?

They have two stocks in their stock

market essentially that makes up like

67% of their market. But, you know,

we're not going to be in that position

if we're not being dumb about it. If we

have 10 to 15 stocks, which is what I

teach, I teach having a diversified

portfolio and then selling options for

premium. If you have that and the

market's down, we're all down together.

It's not like, okay, if you're down an

unreasonable amount versus the market,

that's a you problem. That means you've

done something wrong. But if you're down

a couple percentage points and the

market's down a couple percentage

points, that's normal. That's just

correlation. Everyone's going to be

down. So, I'm not concerned. you

shouldn't be concerned about that and

there's hope that you're going to do

pretty well in the near future. So, I'm

kind of trying to be your your therapist

here in a way to say don't overtrade and

don't panic and don't sell. Honestly,

buy the dip. If you have cash, buy the

dip. It's that simple. Just buy the dip

in high quality companies. I like

Palance here a lot. 9 days left here.

Great. Looks great to me that in 9 days

they're going to report earnings and I

think they're going to absolutely crush.

So over the last 3 months the stock is

down and they actually had a really huge

bounce from $17 per share. I told my

members to buy. They bought. So we're

happy with Palance here. 122 it's down a

little bit. We're not, you know, happy

today, but we're happy overall and we're

going to be happy here long term. So got

a whole lot of SoFi. 10,500 shares of

SoFi down 48k in the position, but I've

generated so much premium I' I've lost

track at this point. You see the total

return I have on options 8,200.

I've literally sold so many covered

calls. I don't know what I clicked

there, but I've literally sold so many

covered calls on SoFi that um I might

very well be breaking even on this

specific position. And I've already

taken profit on SoFi multiple times. So,

I'm going to guess I'm probably

somewhere around break even on SoFi. So,

again, like I'm not super concerned

because what's going to happen with

SoFi, mark my words, 3 months from now,

hey, maybe it's at $17.50 has done

nothing. Well, that's fine because I'm

an option seller. When I collect premium

and I sell options like this 19 covered

call, I'm up 64% on it. I have $4,620 to

go. So in August, if SoFi is trading for

like $17 per share, fine. Sure. I don't

have to hit a home run. The whole point

is I'm not trying to take my portfolio

to some astronomically high amount by

taking on crazy amounts of risk. I'm

just looking to outperform the market.

That's my personal goal. I'm looking for

something that's stable, for something

that's consistent, and I want to beat

the market because obviously like if I

just invest in S&P 500 or ETFs or

dividend stocks, I want to be able to

beat that, right? because I'm actively

I'm actively trading. I'm not that

active, but I'm doing, you know, weekly

trades and monthly trades in my

community and I am, you know, we can say

actively trading, right? I'm not crazy

actively trading, but I am actively

trading. So, my goal is to to beat the

market and I've been able to do that for

a very significant amount of time. Maybe

it was a little bit easier before. I

don't know. I think there's going to be

plenty of opportunities to be honest.

So, I just want to share that if you're

feeling down right now, if you're

feeling bad, like there's hope. Just

because the market is down shortterm

doesn't mean anything. You know how

people's emotions are like a roller

coaster? You guys literally know that.

Like every time the market pulls down,

everyone's like, "Oh, this time's

different and the market's crashing and

stocks are overvalued." Guys, the

market's not really overvalued. The PE

ratio of the S&P 500 is pretty

reasonable. So, we're not really

overvalued. So, whenever we see like a

downswing, unless the PE ratio is like

20 30% overvalued, which it's not, then

any pullback is really just an

opportunity. So yeah, that's SoFi.

Google is really difficult because

Google just had negative cash flow for

their first um time like really like I

want to say ever, but it's not ever, but

it's like the first negative cash flow

they've had I think in a decade. Don't

quote me on that, but it's like around

like a decade or so. It's because of all

their AI spending. They spent so much

money on AI um and data centers and

stuff like that. So, the stock is down

to 319 and I've given back a significant

amount of my gains. I have a,000 shares.

I have a $319,000 market value. But when

Google was trading here for $400 per

share, I was like $80,000 richer. But

I'm not complaining. I still think

Google's going to be $400 again. And I

can't time the market. I don't want to

be like Michael Bur who predicts 27 of

the last three crashes, right? It's a

funny joke. You get it? He He predicted

27, but only three happened, right? So,

don't listen to the bears. All the bears

are like, "Oh, this time's different.

There's going to be a market crash." No,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bears make

money. They can make money if they're

good at timing. But bulls also make

money, and that's much more stable to be

bull.

So, I'd rather be a bull. Um, oh, let me

go back to Google. So, Google, we see

the 370 put option is super in the

money. Super in the money. And I've been

selling options. Um, and by the way, I'm

not a financial adviser cuz what I'm

going to say is going to be kind of

risky. So, I'm not a financial adviser.

This is just educational purposes only.

But I personally use margin. Okay? I

like margin. And I've been also using it

with my one-on-one students. I have

one-on-one students who basically

message me. They have my phone number.

They can message me anytime they want

and we fill up their portfolio. We

allocate their capital and I'm there to

support them throughout their journey.

And I'll be honest with you, a lot of

the times I like to use partners. I like

to sell puts on margin just like this

because I don't actually personally have

the cash to take assignment here. Okay?

And I'm not going to go too deep into

detail here, but I'm just letting you

know that this position right here is

pretty dang massive. It is it is very

massive. like I need to take a sip of

water here and I want you to just

calculate the math. Just just do the

math right now. All right. So, what is

the math that you did? Well, one

contract of Google is $37,000.

That means that 10 contracts is 370K. I

sold 40 puts here. Okay. So, that's what

that's like 600 1.2 mil and then 70 * 4

is 280. So, it's like 1,480,000

that I personally don't have. So, I'm

doing something risky, but I've been

doing this for over a decade and just

going to manage this as it approaches

September 18. I know exactly what to do.

So, if I'm on $1.5 million that I don't

even have that's above my market value,

like above my portfolio value, and I'm

not really that concerned, you know,

it's really a confidence thing. It's

understanding what you're doing. The

market being down is not really the

issue. It's how you manage the market

being down. And by the way, I've seen

some comments like, "Oh, Henry's, you

know, wrong all the time and stuff." But

I take money out of my portfolio

consistently on a monthly basis because

I use it for living expenses and I

travel. You guys have seen throughout

the years my background changes a lot

cuz I'm traveling. I'm donating money.

I'm Yeah, I'm spending a good amount of

money to to, you know, have a decent

lifestyle and my portfolio has been very

stable. Anyways, not to ramble on. I

don't want to waste any time here. I'm

not concerned that I might get assigned

here because I know how to manage this.

Okay, that's the whole kind of story I'm

trying to get at. Um, all right. So,

let's go into the next kind of stocks

that I have. I have really small

positions on some of these, so I'm not

going to go into that. But, I will go to

Meta because Meta is a pretty I would

say larger Yeah, it is a large position.

It's like 8% of my total kind of

portfolio here. So, it's a it's a big

position for me. I'm down $16,000 and I

have a couple of long call options. And

actually my call options were doing

pretty well last time I checked. Let me

go into the 600 call option here. 600

call option. Okay. Yeah. No, no, this

one was the one that was down. The 580

I'm up on. Oo, but it eroded a lot as

well. So anyways, I've given back a good

amount because I was up significantly on

this position even just a couple days

ago for my Wednesday coaching session.

And now just taking a look at things,

man. Pretty difficult. Pretty difficult,

huh? NBIS. This is uh actually $200 per

share I think is fair value. So I kind

of like it here, but it has the craziest

implied volatility ever. Has like

literally insane volatility. That's a

good thing for an option seller again.

So I think there's a lot of opportunity

with NBIS. I ran oo I ran down 20% in

the month. I have negative 15% and then

I have some covered calls which are

down. Honestly, this is probably one of

the more difficult times that I've seen

other than co such a big market. I

honestly call it pretty much like a

crash specifically because all these AI

stocks are crashing. But again, I'm not

too concerned. Anyways, here's kind of

like the moral of the story. Don't be

too concerned with the stock market. If

I have $1.5 million in Google exposure

that I don't even have cash to buy and

I'm not even concerned, I have SoFi, I

have Palanteer, I have a lot of the

stocks I talk about on this channel. I

haven't sold any of the stocks and I'm

very confident that I'm going to be

fine. I have no concerns. I'm $1.5

million at more risk than probably

anyone watching my video right now. So,

don't be concerned. Just have a

long-term perspective. Buy the right

stocks. If you need more support, I

don't know, message me, email me, join

my Discord. I'd be happy to support you.

But honestly, it's not about watching

more videos or taking more action. It's

actually about doing less. So, hope that

helps. And thanks for watching. If you
