Started the year steady.
Had a monster August.
Got punched in the face at year-end.
This is what options trading actually looks like:
Not perfect.
Not linear.
Still insanely profitable.
For 2026, I’m doing something different.
Introducing "𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹" — a series delivered via email where I’ll document:
• Realized gains
• Every trade
• The logic behind it
• Mistakes & adjustments

Not gonna lie, seeing people make a killing on $AMD, $MU, $SNDK and other AI names while most of my positions are still 40%+ off the highs can feel frustrating.
But this is where patience, discipline & emotional control come into play.
Anyone can stay confident when everything is green.
The real test is whether you can sit through the bloodbath without panic selling at the worst possible time.
The market isn’t stressing most people out.
Their habits are.
Spending hours on X.
Checking prices 50 times a day.
Obsessing over every red candle.
Long-term investing becomes emotionally exhausting when you treat every day like it matters.
Zoom out.
Focus on the long-term.
It’s funny when you think about it.
People love buying things on sale.
Cheaper clothes.
Cheaper cars.
Cheaper TVs.
But when stocks go on sale?
Everyone panics and runs away.
People say they’re “long-term investors.”
Then panic after 3 red days in a row.
If your conviction disappears because of short-term price action, your conviction was never based on fundamentals to begin with.
The market transfers money from emotional people to disciplined people.
Hot take:
We're in a stock market crash right now.
You just can't see it because $NVDA, $AMD, $GOOG and $MU are covering for everyone else.
If we look beneath the surface:
• 37% of Russell 3000 stocks are down 30%+ from their highs
• 65% are down double digits
That's not a bull market.
That's a bull market for a handful of chip stocks dragging the index up while everything else bleeds.
Investing is risky.
Relying on a paycheck is risky.
Building a business is risky.
Everything in life carries risk.
But the biggest risk is standing still while inflation eats away at your future.
Seeing your stock drop doesn’t feel good.
I get it.
But bad price action alone shouldn’t destroy our conviction.
The only thing that should change our conviction is a change in fundamentals.
If the thesis is still intact, there’s no reason to suddenly lose conviction.
I'm so tempted to trim some $OSCR.
- Up more than 2x since March 30th.
- Overbought (RSI 87)
- My position getting big.
But it's still so undervalued + it seems like narrative is finally shifting.
Let's see if it can finally break $24 which it failed to do 4 times in the last couple of years.
$NVDA vs $AMD
Gross margin
• NVDA: 75%
• AMD: 55%
Net income margin
• NVDA: 60%
• AMD: 13%
Rule of 40
• NVDA: ~140%
• AMD: 64%
Forward PE
• NVDA: 23x
• AMD: 50x
$AMD is up 87% last month and still trades at a higher multiple.
However, it seems that people expect $AMD to:
- accelerate revenue growth
- expand margins
While for $NVDA they are worried about:
- revenue growth slowdown
- margin pressures
Which could explain the recent move in $AMD & higher multiple.
Selling options isn’t a get-rich-quick game.
It’s a get-paid-consistently game.
No overnight millions.
No 12-month miracles.
But give it time...
And it starts covering your lifestyle: your home, your bills, your freedom.
All without leaving your house.
Hard to find a better way to do it.
The underrated part of selling options?
It doesn’t take over your life.
You can go to the gym.
Spend time with people you care about.
Travel to a new location in the middle of the week.
And your positions keep doing their job quietly in the background.
Selling options can seriously change your life.
But a lot of "option sellers" don't take it seriously.
Spend some time learning the theory.
Know all the terminilogy.
Experiment with small amounts of money.
Once you have some consistency, scale in heavier.
And for the love of God, please stick with QUALITY stocks!
