Mindset Videos about how I trading the stock market in general
I keep everything as simple as possible. I SELL, SELL, SELL premium to others who want to take the risk—in exchange for cash flow. That’s upfront cash in my wallet. We repeat this trade after trade, not concerned with where the stock goes. All we care about is a successful trade, generating cash flow, and using that cash to buy passive income investments so we can live off the stock market.

✅Rule #1: We TAKE from the stock market.
✅Rule #2: We TAKE what the market gives us.
✅Rule #3: We stay the course—remaining in our measured lane, creating continual cash flow—while others “buy and hold” and hope the market gives them something.

✅ SELL premium
✅ Generate cash flow
✅ Reinvest into passive income
✅ Repeat

COVERED CALL BASICS 101
THE BASICS OF WRITING COVERED CALL
The 'Writing Covered Call Setup Basics 101
Understanding the Basics of Covered Call Writing Video

A covered call is an options strategy where you own shares of a stock or ETF and then sell a call option against those shares. When you sell the call, you receive a premium, which becomes immediate income. In exchange, you agree to sell your shares at the strike price if the option is exercised.

The premium you collect is made up of time value (and sometimes a small amount of intrinsic value, depending on the strike). This premium helps lower your cost basis, generate cash flow, and improve returns—especially in sideways or slightly rising markets.

Because one call option represents 100 shares, you must own at least 100 shares for every contract you sell; this is what makes the position “covered.” Covered calls offer income with limited risk, but they also cap your upside because your shares may be called away if the price rises above the strike price.

IN THE MONEY Covered Call
ALL THINGS IN THE MONEY (ITM) COVERED CALLS
The 'In The Money' (ITM) Covered Call Trade Setup Basics
The ITM CC Trade Setup video

An in-the-money (ITM) covered call begins by purchasing shares at the current market price. You then sell a call option with a strike price below the current share price, which is considered "in the money." The premium you receive from selling the call consists of intrinsic value (the amount the stock is above the strike price) and time value (the added premium for the time until expiration). This strategy reduces your cost basis and offers downside protection, though it also limits your upside potential if the stock rises above the strike price.
The 'In The Money' (ITM) Covered Call Buy Back basics
The ITM CC BuyBack video

In this video I initiated a covered call by purchasing a stock and writing a call option at a strike price below my target, collecting a premium that included both intrinsic and time value. As the stock price moved significantly higher, the call option became deeper in the money, reducing the time value component. With minimal time value left and most of the premium now representing intrinsic value, I decided to buy back the call option. This allows me to lock in gains on the stock while capturing profit from the remaining time value erosion.

Poor Man's Covered Call Basics - The LEAPS Purchase Setup
The PMCC LEAPS purchase setup video

When implementing the Poor Man’s Covered Call strategy, the selection of the LEAPS call option is critical to both performance and cost-efficiency. It's essential to purchase a deep in-the-money LEAPS call—with a delta of 0.95 or greater—to closely mimic the behavior of the underlying stock while minimizing exposure to time decay. By targeting such high-delta options, investors significantly reduce the extrinsic (time) value premium they pay, thereby lowering the capital at risk and enhancing the strategy’s risk-reward profile. This foundational principle is a key focus of the instructional video and underpins the overall effectiveness of the Poor Man’s Covered Call approach.

Understanding Cash Secured Put is most important in our Success

A Cash Secured Put is an options strategy where an investor sells a put option while keeping enough cash on hand to buy the stock if it’s assigned. By doing this, the seller collects an upfront premium in exchange for agreeing to purchase the shares at a predetermined strike price before expiration. If the stock stays above the strike, the option expires worthless and the premium is kept as income. If the stock falls below the strike, the seller is assigned the shares at a price they already considered attractive, effectively buying the stock at a discount once the premium is factored in. This strategy is often used by investors who are comfortable owning the underlying stock and want to generate income while waiting for a favorable entry point.

ALL THINGS CHARTING
Getting Good Entry Points is the key to Success
Understanding Chart Reading is most important in our Success

Understanding how to read charts with tools like Keltner Channels and the RSI (Relative Strength Index) is crucial for timing strong entry points when initiating positions for covered calls and cash-secured puts. Keltner Channels help traders visualize volatility and identify when price action is stretching toward overbought or oversold zones relative to its moving average, while RSI provides momentum insights by measuring the speed and magnitude of price movements. Together, they create a powerful framework for spotting moments when a stock is primed for a bounce or a pullback, allowing you to sell options from a position of strength. This precision not only improves the likelihood of generating consistent premium income but also reduces the risk of entering trades at unfavorable price levels.
