Dude I love that you're back more consistently, not just for the implications on your health but selfishly because your presentation on information like this is peak.
I've always been fascinated by investing, but when I tried stock investing early this year, it hasn't been as successful as I expected. However, I keep seeing good news about the stock market. What are the best strategies for less risk and more gains?
I agree.Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations
My CFA is Laurel Ann Watkins, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I really needed it. I looked her up on Google and explored her website; she has an impressive background in investments. I've sent her an email, and I hope to hear back from her soon!
In the beginning of 2024, the whole talk was the fed was going to cut 6 - 7 times, and how many cuts did we actually get? The market always gets ahead of itself, give it a week or two and this thing will be at all time highs again.
Agreed, the market will realize that companies are still making revenue now, the ones that are not overleveraged on debt will not be completely crippled with fewer cuts.. By the time next quarter earnings are out, they won't even remember what Powell said
Welcome back to creating the content we love you for. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and i hope you continue to heal and get better, you sound better and you look better for what it's worth.
Hey man, glad to see you back. I haven't stumbled upon this channel in years, but your options video taught me the basics and how to get started. You're the man. You should put affiliate links for your gear in the description if that's still a thing youtubers do. Which camera are you using?
I'm glad to see you doing well! If it hadn't been for you years ago, I would have never reached the level of knowledge and abilities I have now. 🙏Praying for your good health
You have such a gift of explaining the economy. I love hearing your thoughts and the way you break down your analysis. Happy Holidays from one economist to another!
I appreciate this guy. We will never know each other yet he has taught me things. Glad you are doing better health wise bro. Anyway, I would love a drop in the markets. The Covid dip was so good for getting better prices
My wife and I were both laid off at the beginning of the year. I was really hoping for continued positive news to open the job market up. It’s brutal out here. Anyway, always happy to see new content. Thanks broski.
Well not all of us got destroyed... I have been watching your option trading videos lately and wrote a ton of cc's this week. Made out like a bandit! Anyways, glad to see you bounce back - you're looking and sounding really good!
But do you really make money selling CCs? Only when you want the underlying to get called away. The loss in value of a dropping asset is always larger than the premium from the CC. It reduces your loss for sure, but it’s a net loss, unless you hold the asset long enough to recover asset value.
@ I wasn’t advising you to not sell calls. It’s a great way to generate cash and pay monthly bills if you intend to keep the underlying for long periods. But it’s still true that you can’t outrun a drop in asset value selling calls. I pay a portion of a friend’s rent and my car lease payments selling calls. But they can cause trouble. For example, I’m watching an AH selloff in Tesla, which will create a gap down at market open tomorrow. I’d like to sell my shares and buy at the gap down price but I’m stuck because my shares cover the sold calls. I’m pocketing $1000 in the CCs and missing out on $10k+ from the retrace.
@@trick58 I do. I don’t write on all my shares either. I set strikes that I’m comfortable with. Selling CCs allows me to accumulate more shares and write more calls or CSP.
@@mentats8787 I try to be brief in these comments and don’t communicate well. If interested, please read my longer comment I posted in this thread. I know you make money selling CCs. I meant, in the final sum over the account, selling CCs works best on a flat account. For years, I held a railroad company that was super boring but also super flat. I earned good dividends and write weekly CCs. The share value rarely changed by more than 10%. No capital appreciation, but a regular passive income generator.paid for two vehicles that way! Happy investing!
Adam, its wonderful to see you look this good. And I moved some money out of stocks before Thanksgiving anticipating large losses. I feel like Powell is factoring in tariff impacts.
Genuinely, you are one of the more sophisticated figures on this platform when it comes to the world of investing and options. Good to see you back and wishing you the best of health moving forward. Welcome back
What you dont realize. Think about this: if i had a lot of shares. Thousands and thousands why wouldnt i sell to reset and buy back in with a lower interest rate? If it doesnt get cut why should i sell? Its a reset to get back in at better positions.
Got a question for the Nerds and Adam Is it theoritally possible to have 3% on credit spreads every week to a cummulative of more than 100% roi per year with minimum risk(with stop loss at -10%) ?? Religiously credit spreads on spy or qqq ?
They're expecting stickier inflation, i.e. they're expecting the economy to be stronger than they previously expected. The market reaction was exactly backwards. "Companies are going to be making more money than expected, so let's all sell at a discount"... Its insanity. I understand the interest rate is proportional tobthe cash-flow discount rate... but they're reacting to the effect while ignoring the cause. You're right about one thing though, now is the time to buy from all the dolts who are selling. I've leverd up.
The market was pricing in 2 cuts for next year prior to FOMC, although the general expectation was for 3. The reaction was due to the Fed specifically calling out Trump policy being potentially inflationary. Tariffs and the Trumps Immigration policy are inflationary and services inflation is a real concern to the Market. The size of the 1 day move was caused by a negative gamma loop.
I figured it would be a mess with tariffs and deportations on the horizon being inflationary policies and with the Govt. funding negotionts I took out a few dozen contracts on the VIXs, went pretty well.
Well done adam!! I see the rising interest rate as a very big problem, as more investors will definitely pull out more money from the Stock market. This might have worked when I was still invest-ing with a couple thousand dollars, but it is more difficult now to decide whether to pull out more than $365k from my port-folio. I know some inves-tors still make that despite the strong bear market. I wish I could pull that feat
I think the whole thing about holding stocks for long term will always apply. So I think you should get a quality broker who is able to analyze and pick stocks that will do well in the long term, else you will be in a long bear ride.
“DCA" is the golden term. My dollar portfolio is made up of 15% PLTR, 15% TSLA, 25% NVDA, 15% VOO and over 30% in digital assets, credits to my advisor. I've made over 80% capital growth minus dividends this year alone. It's getting better withe the Trump economy.
Annette Christine Conte’ is the licensed FA I use. Just google the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
thanks for the lead, just searched Annette by her full name, easily spotted her consulting page and was able to schedule a call session, she seems highly professional from her resumé..
Keep eye on AI...over next 5 years AI will take first the IT sector jobs (easiest for it to incorporate) followed by other spheres after that. This will cause unemployment to rise consistently into the future (maybe a few blips on the way) before the collapse. Great to see you looking good Adam!
your the reason I started gambling on options 5 years ago with dismal results 🙂That led to old skool stock picking investing. 6x in 4 years. so a big TY. Wonderful to see you fit.
It's panic stupidity. Even though safe investments will still have high return rates the market is still going to be higher. They aren't going to rapidly slash rates back to almost nothing.
You can! I’d be happy to help analyze your trades. I don’t do yolo’s but that doesn’t mean I can’t help you yolo better lol. Would appreciate the support! 🚀
I did not expect cuts in 2025. I believed the thinking that the initial cut was almost too agressive. I have been on the thinking, of "dump tech, as they reinvested into r&d" buy stuff that is selling energy to these companies as "safe space" and then also hold cash, ,because of liquidity issues. You also need energy to mine or maintain crypto, so energy makes sense to me in times like this. glhf. Also, the labor unions, and "word on the street" stuff is my favorite go to for labor. I just see the jobs splitting apart into side hustle, and the labor data very hard to get right on paper, because of how often people shift jobs now. unstable reality, not good data. The stress levels, and lack of passion of the average college student, paints a picture for me as well.

The importance of mitigating risks might be why many investors are turning to advisors for guidance.

This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment.

It makes me so happy to see you doing so much better Adam.
Thanks bro 🥲

Thank you 🫡
Dude looking better, may you and your bro and entire family have a wonderful Holiday season.
DUDE!!!! I'm glad you're here and looking healthy!! Hope everything is getting better for you.
Simple, concise, and never a dull moment. You're the best finance related TH-cam channel and it's not even close dude. Glad to see you back more often
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you! Have a great Christmas.
This man been the man even stronger 💪 ❤
i had a great day yesterday - in all transparency i was overleveraged in TQQQ puts
Why are you paying a premium to trade TQQQ when you could trade NDX?
@Felale because I wanted more smaller contracts with more theta to be able to control my risk tighter, as well as average out
Welcome back to creating the content we love you for. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and i hope you continue to heal and get better, you sound better and you look better for what it's worth.
I started watching your channel during the 2021 bull run. Some good times. Glad to see you’re back and hope you are feeling better!
You’re the man bro. You’ve been giving out knowledge to us for years. Appreciate you and its great to see you doing better
Thank you for this. I greatly appreciate if you continue doing video summaries of post-fomc meetings like this with your take on it as well.
I mean, I'm not holding any option, and that seems to make a big difference right now. Y'all have fun with that.
My man 🙏🏼 so glad to see you looking healthier! I owe so much of my analytical knowledge to you, keep going!
Hell yes, glad to see you feeling better!!!
Glad to see you back looking healthy. Happy holidays🎉🎁
Same to you! Thank you!

Dude you are the best. So happy to see you back on here.
Glad to know I’m not the only one that got REKT, was all in on diversified calls - heaviest one in META and I squandered it
Ride the waves
You sound so much more stronger now, the new meds are working well.
Yessir, on the upswing. Thank you.

It's also triple witching on Friday. So there's probably a bunch of trades being closed out and rolled over at the same time.

Powell said "hawk tuah"
The market was pricing in 2 cuts for next year prior to FOMC, although the general expectation was for 3.

Fed said also tariffs could cause more inflation.

Sorry for the rough start. 6x is 4 years is huge. Nice job.
Gonna watch this video 10 times to boost your algo

B: I don't feel so bad for getting clobbered yesterday 🤕
I figured I’d full port into IWM at around $239….. I have an ability to time the top like no other man god dammit
I got clobbered on IWM too with call options. The price action over last 2 weeks has been really suspicious...ugh
