Just finished chapter 8 of Set for Life by Scott Trench on audiobook and I’m absolutely hooked! 🤯 This book is straight fire if you want to build real wealth in your 20s/30s without living like a monk. 10/10 recommend.

$3,000 in my account in 2018.
$500,000 in my account in 2024.

No, I didn't hit a home run.

I just stopped swinging for the fences.

No 10X trades.
No viral meme stocks.
No lottery ticket options.

Just boring:
→ 5% per month selling puts
→ Compounding for 6 years
→ Not blowing up
→ Staying in the game

The secret to wealth isn't sexy.

It's just not losing for long enough.

@BerryHopelt Hey

[Benjamin Lizardo @Benji3pr]

@Noahhcalls Good morning, Noah.

Markets looking a tad bearish lately? Don't get ahead of yourself—zoom out and remember the bigger picture instead of fixating on those recent red days.

If you're in options, consider rolling your positions to buy some time and ride it out. Patience pays off in the long game!

[Healthy-ish @RealTalk8386]

We pride ourselves on being frugal and we value taking care, mending, and making things last...including our sanity! 🤪

🤯 Just had a coworker look at me like I’d grown a second head when I said I don’t buy new work scrubs every couple of months. That's fine. To her, it's nice to have a refresh of patterns. She just gets bored.
I respectfully said, "well, I have plenty of pairs that are still in great condition, and some I have even had since the start of my career."
Again, she looked at me like she thought I was crazy and said "no no you need to refresh" 🤨
She then said not only does she cycle out work scrubs and her clothes every few months...but she even replaces her dishes, pots and pans, bedding...everything.... Every....single... year.... 😳

I just said, “well I feel that is extremely wasteful” and just left it at that.
We are really big on to each their own, but this mindset right here... that constant need to replace what still works... all while being frugal is looked at as being cheap.

@joeytee_ I don't mind doing 7-14 days if no earnings call is expected during those next days near the expiration date.

[Benjamin Lizardo @Benji3pr]

This 100%!

Doing $3k/month with $50k account selling puts.

[Joey Tee @joeytee_]

Option selling, when executed properly, can be highly profitable:

$5k account: $75–$200/month
$10k: $150–$400/month
$25k: $400–$1,000/month
$50k: $750–$2,000/month
$100k: $1,500–$4,000/month
$250k: $3,000–$10,000/month
$500k: $7,500–$20,000/month
$1M: $15,000–$40,000/month

[Benjamin Lizardo @Benji3pr]

Just closed out my $HOOD short puts from yesterday for a quick 53.33% gain—love those fast movers! Also deployed some $TSLA Nov 7 '25 335P when the stock dipped under $420, avg fill at $1.18. Betting on a rebound post-earnings, but keeping it sized small in this vol. #OptionsTrading

[Benjamin Lizardo @Benji3pr]

🚨 TSLA Puts Alert! 📉 Earnings miss ($0.39 vs $0.55) tanked $TSLA to -4% of $438. Vol’s down (IV ~50%). Planning 1-2 far OTM puts ($350/360) at open for safe theta. $420 support holds.

Kicking off a new journey into options selling—sharing some thoughts as I go. Curious? Join me in the replies! #OptionsTrading

[Options selling with Christian @optionscjp]

1.) Know your risks and only sell puts on companies that you would not mind owning.

This way - if you get assigned, you will gladly buy the shares.

Avoid shit companies and hype companies like $BBBY $AMC etc

At this point, I am not advocating any particular candidate for NASA Administrator.

I am just desperate for someone with a 3 digit IQ.
