Using Stock Options to Supercharge Long Term Investments

Let's talk about the recent frenzy surrounding meme stocks like $AMC and #GameStop:

First: What is a meme stock? 📈

Meme stocks are unique because they experience significant price volatility, often driven by social media trends and online communities. Rather than through factors like financial performance, they gain traction through platforms like Reddit, X, and stock trading forums.

Second: How and WHY were they able to blow up overnight? ðŸ’²

While there are several reasons, a large driving force that can be attributed to AMC and Gamestop’s sudden price surges is the influence of social media. Discussions, memes, and investment insights shared on platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and Discord helped to spur interest, leading to a retail investor frenzy.

What seems to set a meme stock apart is its extreme volatility — the underlying fundamentals of AMC and Gamestop haven’t changed, and yet the shares have skyrocketed.

And they can, just as suddenly, drop. This is why chasing after something as fickle as a meme stock is considered risky. But gambling on luck is not the only way to, not the best way to make money in the stock market. Over the years, I have learned that many successful investors use Options Investment hedging strategies to navigate the market and make consistent life changing income.

Make Options Investment Hedging Your Secret Weapon 💡

By selling put options against stocks with good financial health while hedging with farther term long puts, you can generate income while protecting yourself from potential downside risk.

Black Swan events no longer keep you up at night! The longer term put options act as a safety net, providing downside protection if the stock price falls drastically, while still allowing you to benefit from side way or flat market. Meanwhile, you would deploy a modest amount of LEAPs to capture any potential upside gains.

Maximize Your Returns 💸

With the right combination of options strategies, you can endure the ups and downs of the stock market and come out profitable consistently in the long term.

Investing should not have to rely on luck — you need to make a plan!
