To The Moon

In times of market panic, most retail investors run — I don’t. I stay, and if the setup is right, I press in. I’ve learned that real wealth is built not during the bull market, but in the fearful chaos of a downturn. It’s when prices disconnect from fundamentals that my edge reveals itself.

Many panic-sell, hoping to sidestep the crash. But history is clear: missing the worst days may spare you pain, but missing the best rebound days costs you fortune. It’s not timing the market that wins — it’s strategic positioning with discipline and patience.

📉 When Others Sell, I Sell Puts

On green days, when stocks are stable or rising, I lean into opportunity. Take my Alphabet (GOOGL) position as an example.

I own 101 shares of GOOGL, purchased at an average cost of $135.47 — now sitting at $168.13, I’m sitting on a comfortable gain of over $3,300. Rather than sit idle, I’ve sold a GOOGL 115 PUT expiring in December 2025, collecting $1.98 per share in premium.

What does this mean?

I’m essentially telling the market: “I’d gladly buy more GOOGL at $115 — a huge discount from today’s price — and you’re going to pay me $198 upfront for keeping that promise for the next 18 months.” That’s 0.5% to 1% return on cash just for holding the position — annualized, it’s even more attractive.

🧠 Why This Strategy Works for Me

This method gives me three critical advantages:

1. Income regardless of price direction – I get paid whether GOOGL moves up, down, or sideways, as long as it stays above $115.

2. Buy quality at a discount – If the market does crash and GOOGL drops to $115, I acquire a fantastic business at 30% off.

3. Risk management by conviction – I only sell puts on stocks I already own or am willing to own more of. That’s key.

When markets are calm or rising, I sell puts with lower strikes, far from current prices, minimizing assignment risk while still collecting healthy premiums. I don’t chase, I calculate. I’ve done this repeatedly — earning 0.5% to 1% every 60–90 days — and it compounds beautifully.

📊 Courage, Not Luck

When market volatility strikes like lightning, many ask: “Should I get out?” I ask, “Where’s my next entry point?” I remain invested in companies I understand, like Alphabet — with massive cash flow, dominant platforms like YouTube, and AI investments that give it durable growth.

I’m not gambling. I’m structuring trades with the patience of a landlord collecting rent — even if a storm brews outside.@Daily_Discussion @TigerStars @TigerEvents @MillionaireTiger @CaptainTiger 

Because when you prepare your portfolio like a fortress, you don’t fear the lightning. You wait for it. ⚡
