Today’s Heat Map👇

Market was red overall today. That’s totally fine. Things need to take a breather. Remember my thesis, I’m in the camp that we are about 10% over valued.
Today’s Biggest Winners/Losers👇
Nasdaq Biggest Winnersâś…
Nasdaq Biggest Losers❌
Stock options are HORRIBLE...
Unless you do it right.
The problem?
Most people do it completely wrong.
Most people want the 10x overnight.Guess what... It's prob not going to happen.

Fear & Greed Index For Today👇
35 Yesterday & 34 Today.
Stocks took a dip today and this was much needed, pushing us deeper into fear category. THIS IS HEALTHY! MARKET CAN’T GO UP EVERY DAY!
I feel that we are closer to 60 vs what this says.
Be greedy when others are fearful.

Today’s Economic Updates👇
30 year fixed mortgage rate drops to 7.21% today vs 7.22% Yesterday.
10 year treasury bond yield increase to 4.63% today, versus 4.58% Yesterday.
2 year treasury bond yield flat at 4.33% today, same as Yesterday.
Market Crash Incoming or Just What We Needed?👇
Overall the market is red today.
This is okay. Things need to take a breather. We are about 10% over valued in my opinion.
Keep this in mind, just because we are 10% lofty, that does NOT mean we will dip back down to par value immediately or ever. The market can stay irrational longer than what makes sense.
So let’s think about this. There is a possibility the market can fall into the cheap category, maybe 20% under valued. So to swing from 10% over valued to 20% under valued is about a 30% dip.
This is possible and anyone that invests in the stock market should be able to stomach this volatility.
My main Schwab account is labeled the 700k account for a reason.
There is about $950k in it.
My plan is to continue to sell super conservative calls and collect premiums on the way down (if that is what happens).
That will pad my downside and help acquire more shares in base of my portfolio and this will better position me for bull runs of the future.
I’m not saying I’m a big bad bear. I just want to set the expectation very very clearly. The market is a little lofty so I am being cautiously optimistic.
If the market continues to pump, I win on the capital gains.
If the market dips, I win by getting things on sale and positioning for the next bull run just like I did in 2022.
Think About This👇
The market is down roughly 1.5% today.
I already got 12 DMs of people hedging positions and getting nervous about a crash.
Literally 1.5% drop….
Imagine a time when the market dips 30% in a few months.
That will happen one day…
I don’t know exactly when, but one day we will enter a bear market.
Go back through my course and understand everything I am saying through the 120+ lessons. This will help you in volatile times.
Things are a little lofty now.
I have literally been saying this for MONTHS.
Maybe we continue to pump or maybe we dip 30%.
You need to be prepared for ALL situations.
My Question To You Is This👇
Why are you worried about a dip now that things are red?
Why aren’t you thinking about it when things are green?
My Answer👇
Most people think like the herd.
They see green and only think more green is coming.
Now they see red and all they can think about is red.
Then they read negative news articles and the YouTubers drop videos talking about a market crash.
Then they believe it and panic sell out as things are becoming cheaper and safer.
FYI, I’m not saying now is a bad time to sell.
Maybe it is.
I have a long term horizon, so short term volatility is meaningless.
Again, I still have Schwab labeled as the “700k” account.
Final Comments On Today👇
The market was red today. Was this okay? YES
I continue to see us at a 10% over valuation, so I continue to stay cautious.
I have been saying this for months.
Remember, we can just easily swing from 10% over valued to 20% under valued (that is a 30% drop). Can this happen? Yes.
Remember, as QUALITY stocks fall, they get cheaper and safer.
The high PE stocks fall harder in times like this.
Keep your emotions in check.
Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.
When you find undervalued companies, use options to magnify gains

👇Current Value of My Trading Account👇
(updated daily)

I started this year at $506,110. Currently $955,551. This is the power of doing stocks and options the right way, but I do expect more volatility. I am being very cautious with options right now. I consider this account to be worth around $750k for the true intrinsic value, not $900k+. This means I wouldn’t be surprised if we take a dip!
