Fear & Greed Index For Today👇
66 on Friday & 67 Today.
The market pushed higher today, which pushed us deeper into the greed category.
Check out today’s YouTube video, I cover this index in more depth, link below
Be greedy when others are fearful.
Be fearful when others are greedy.

Million Dollar Lesson👇
While it does feel great to make money, the market has been pretty easy lately.
Do not get over confident.
Everyone is a genius in a bull market.
I currently generate about $30k/month with stock options.

SMCI Just Dropped A Bombshell
Today, SMCI announced the completion of an independent review by a Special Committee, which found no evidence of fraud or misconduct by the company’s management or Board.
The Special Committee recommended several measures to enhance corporate governance, including appointing a new Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer.
SMCI has adopted these recommendations and is actively recruiting for these positions.
Additionally, the company has filed a compliance plan with Nasdaq to address previous filing delays.
They also said they will not have to re-file previous earnings reports, which means the previous earnings can be trusted. This was big for me!
So the main reason the stock to dropped from around $125/share in the last year to $42 now was because of the accounting fraud fears.
This is now basically resolved and the stock is still appears super undervalued.

So Just How Under Valued Is SMCI Now?👇
Earnings per share of $3.19 is expected for 2025. So let’s run some numbers.
$42 current price divided by $3.19
That’s a PE of 13
Growing EPS 59% YoY
You can’t find that anywhere
$85 price target end of year 2025.
Be greedy when others are fearful
I added call positions today that expire in June of 2025.
There is still risks and nothing is 100%, but I like the risk reward.
Is The Stock Market Going To Crash?
YES!
AND It’s a matter of when.
Maybe tomorrow starts the crash, maybe next week, maybe next year, maybe 2026, or even 2027…
Guess what, NOBODY KNOWS 100%.
The market naturally goes through boom and bust cycles and that is totally fine and normal.
Time in the market > timing the market.
The S&P500 usually averages 10% annually, and we have been doing well beyond that the last few years.
I do feel we are a little over valued.
That doesn’t mean I am going to go sell everything.
I am actually not selling anything at all. I am a net buyer.
There is always plays and undervalued companies out there, you just gotta be able to find them.
I have been crushing the markets the last few years in particular with options to magnify my returns on plays I have high conviction in.

So How Can You Use Options To Skyrocket Your Portfolio?👇
Start with this first…
DCA into VOO & QQQ.(base portfolio)
Only buy individual companies if you are getting a good price.
Use options to magnify your returns on companies you have a high margin of safety on for the given trade.
My favorite strategy is selling puts. This is how I generate $30k+/mo
I will buy calls sometimes too, but that is more risky.
ONLY SELL PUTS OR BUY CALLS WHEN THE UNDERLYING STOCK OR ETF IS TRADING BELOW INTRINSIC VALUE AND YOU ARE OK TO HOLD IT FOR YEARS!
Most ppl get wiped out making plays on garbage companies and they might dip but they never recover.
If I feel something is very over valued, I may sell calls or buy puts.
70% of my trading is selling puts though.
Check out my watchlist towards the bottom to see some of my plays!
Final Comments On Today👇
The market continues to push deeper into the greedy category so be careful.
SMCI gives the green light for the stock to pump because of the successful audit.
Only use options when you have high confidence in a play.
Do not get over confident. Everyone is a genius in a bull market.
Check out my watchlist below!
Keep your emotions in check on pumps and dumps.
Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.
When you find undervalued companies, use options to magnify gains
