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.

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
