Today’s Heat Map👇

Market pushed a littler higher today & clawed back losses from the morning.
Trump spoke at the world economic forum with some strong remarks.
Bond yields climbed again… (bad)
More on this below.
Fear & Greed Index For Today👇
43 Yesterday & 46 Today.
Market pushed a little higher today into the close and pushed the needle to the right.
I feel that we are closer to 62 vs what this says, so slightly greedy…
Always keep your emotions in check on pumps & dumps!
Short term market movements are usually irrelevant.
Volatility is opportunity.
Be greedy when others are fearful.
Be fearful when others are greedy.

One of the most important things that I ever did MY ENTIRE LIFE was moving out of the small town that I grew up in.
This is because literally $100,000 is an extreme amount of money where I grew up.
BUT!
The big city I live in right now, the few million dollars I have still… x.com/i/web/status/1…

Be Careful Who You Listen To👇
I'm not a big fan of most of these trading Discords or so-called "courses" popping up all over YouTube & X.
Let’s be real—most of these people running them aren’t even qualified to teach how to invest and do options…
They’re great at marketing.
Great at getting views.
But that doesn’t mean they’re good investors…
Most of the time, they’re just repackaging free information you could find on YouTube…
And that’s not even the biggest problem…
The real issue? These groups give you trades to blindly follow with zero understanding of why you’re making the trade!
Then when things go south, you’re on your own. No real support. No real guidance.
That’s why most people in these groups end up making the same mistakes over and over…
Selling too early out of fear
Holding onto losers way too long
Chasing trades they don’t understand
I’ve seen it happen too many times with people who came to me after burning cash in these groups.
That’s why I believe in real coaching—learning from someone who’s actually doing this successfully.
In my program, I teach the exact options strategies I’ve used to grow my portfolios to over $2m+ and generate tens of thousands per month with options cash flow.
You can then come into my community where you have access to me all day long to ask questions and see my exact trades with explanations why!
Unlike most of these Discord groups or Patreons, I don’t just hand out trades—I make sure you understand why they work.
I want you to be able to confidently place profitable trades on your own—not rely on me or anyone else.

Prices are going to go WAY up soon!
Notes From Trump Today👇
Here's some of the key points:
Demands interest rates go down. (he doesn't have power to do this but can pressure)
Wants to drill and produce more oil which goal is to lower inflation.
We need much more energy to fuel AI.
Wants America to be AI HQ.
Incentivized companies with lower taxes if they build in America.
Wants trade to be more fair with other countries.
Seems like the CEOs on the stage are kissing Trumps butt lol.
Cares about deregulation and making things easier to trade with and manufacture in America.
What Does This Mean?👇
Bond yields are climbing cause the market fears Trump’s policies will be inflationary.
This is bad for stocks cause bonds compete with stocks as the risk free rate vs risk on rate of stocks.
The risk reward of stocks is not as good as bond yields climb.
I do think energy is BIG for inflation, and if we drill more in America as he says, that will help the inflation story.
Time will tell!
Overall, trump has not done anything too crazy yet to spook the markets, but tariffs are expected February 1st…
Expect volatility!
Current Thoughts In My Head👇
The market feels a bit stretched—probably about 5-10% above intrinsic value.
Trump seems committed to keeping the economy strong and driving inflation down, which could provide stability if it actually pans out.
Earnings have been solid so far, which is exactly what’s needed to justify current stock valuations.
I’m not calling this a bubble, but let’s be real—things are a little frothy.
As always, be prepared for any scenario.
I’m an investor, not a speculator.
Words To Live By👇
Do not make plays to make plays.
ONLY make high margin of safety plays.
Do not buy something just cause the share price is going up
Continue to DCA into quality stocks/ETFs at good prices.
When you find undervalued companies, use options to magnify gains

Screenshot from today. Just over a Mil. I do think the market is a little pricy so I would NOT be surprised if we pull back to $800k ish in this account. I am positioned to capitalize on upside and downside!
👇Portfolio Thoughts
Amazing growth from 2018 to Current all off of a total contribution of $90,000.
That is over a 10x in 7 years!
I did this in a very low risk and conservative way.
I feel the market got a little stretched and this pull back is healthy.
If bond yields continue to climb, I expect pain in the markets to continue.
I will continue to find great investments / options plays that will pan out to explode the portfolio in the long run.
Month to month and even year to year volatility is irrelevant.
I see volatility as opportunity!
My goal is $5,000,000 in this account by 2030.
I see this as very achievable and if the market dips further, I will capitalize heavily, just like I did in 2022!
Stay the course and keep your emotions in check!
