@KyleTibbitts We are hiring *only* monsters. I would put our last 20 hires against last 20 hires of *any* tech company.

@KyleTibbitts @MattMiller_AZ @nejatian @jude_k_y Did you use to work for Opendoor?

@MattMiller_AZ @nejatian @jude_k_y Wander to $10B+ first! :)

The talent @nejatian is recruiting into $OPEN is making me increasingly bullish. The team you build is the company you build.

My “I quit my job as an attorney thanks to selling options” post yesterday gained some traction and I gained some new followers. So I'd like to introduce myself to to anyone that doesn't know me. I've been interested in the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement since I was a teenager. In pursuit of that goal, I got my Electrical Engineering degree then went to law school to become a patent attorney. I thought that was the fastest way to financial independence. At the time, first year associates at big law firms were starting at $160,000/year which felt like millions to me. When I graduated law school in 2015 I had over $200,000 in student loan debt that I took out to pay for law school under the "Federal graduate PLUS loan" program. This federal program has obsurd predatory interest rates (currently loaning money to students at 9% interest rate), but that's a conversation for another time. My 200k debt was growing at a clip of about $1,500/month, and that big salary didn't feel that magical. A few weeks into my law career I discovered that I didn't pass the California Bar to my great embarrassment. My law firm let me go and I found myself in a situation where I was 200k in debt, had failed the entrance exam to my chosen profession, and I was jobless. Eventually I passed the bar and landed a job in Patent Litigation with one of the best Plaintiff side patent litigation firms in the world. We tried some really high profile cases and set new precedent repeatedly in patent law. For example, we won the largest patent litigation verdict in history at the time during Covid, trying the case remotely and breaking every California Covid mandate to do so. See here hsfkramer.com/kl-pdfs/6/1/61…. During my time at that firm, I was recognized as the 4th best performing plaintiff side attorney in the country by Patexia. patexia.com/feed/patexia-i…. My work was exciting at times, but often the hours were long and grueling. I felt like Pavlov's dog in my office. I missed weekends, evenings with friends, and vacations. I started to realize that this is not what I wanted but I needed a way to replace my income or wait for my net worth to reach FIRE. In 2021 (after $TSLA's major run) I decided to invest heavily in $TSLA. I dollar-cost-averaged from my entry point of around $400/share over the next 4-5 years until today. Not a great success here, but I also invested in a rental house and primary house in 2020 that appreciated well during the 2021 housing boom. I was also learning to sell options well during that time. I read every book, attended conferences, watched every youtube video. I was obsessed and passionate about selling options because it had the potential to get me to FIRE. Last week I finally made the decision to retire from law and focus on options full time. Last year I made about $280,000 selling options (verifiable on the 1099 I share publicly). I've never had a down year or even multi-month span selling options. And I'm still as in love and passionate about options as ever. I also started coaching and teaching options at the beginning of this year. That was another driver for me to retire from law. I was working long hours in my law career and teaching during the evenings and on the weekends. My wife is patient but wasn't loving it. I'm looking forward to spending more time teaching other attorneys, business owners, and professionals how to use options to leave their demanding careers earlier. If you're interested in learning how to sell options profitably and safely, join my intensive one-day Options Portfolio Masterclass next Saturday, May 30th. You will also be invited to join our weekly diner club and be a part of like-minded community trading options safely and professionally. 👉 bttcourse.com/options-course…

@VigilantFox I’ve helped thousands of patients lose weight on GLP-1 in the last 4 years. Most of them have kept their weight off. They feel so much better. Some stay on low dose. Others cycle it. Most of them would’ve never lost weight if it weren’t for the GLP-1 tool.

@GregProctor Do you ever use margins as collateral to sell puts?

@DanielKim828 Easily

I quit my job as a lawyer today. Selling options has given me the income I need to support myself and my family while continuing to build wealth. I'm looking forward to more time spent with my family and friends, doing things I love, traveling and touching grass more often. Not quite at @BoBbyPleWniaK status but we're working on it.

We are entering a new era at the Federal Reserve. I sat down with @kurtsaltrichter to discuss Kevin Warsh, interest rates, inflation, stocks, commodities, and navigating volatility.

@dayetweets @techbudsolution @KelzRey21 False. He never dumped.

@techbudsolution @KelzRey21 The only reason $OPEN ripped to $10 was Eric Jackson's pump and dump. Now the price will return to its true value.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Let’s be honest. Warsh at the Fed. Kevin Warsh’s arrival at the Federal Reserve is not a personnel change. It is a regime change attempt inside an institution built to prevent one. A supply-sider now runs a central bank hard-wired for Keynesian demand management, and the machine is already resisting the new code. The next mistake is visible in plain sight. Keynesians on Wall Street and inside the Fed are treating a supply shock as if it were a demand boom and calling for tighter money. This is dogma masquerading as seriousness. A chokepoint in the Strait of Hormuz, a jump in energy prices, and a cost shock rolling through transport, food, and manufacturing are not evidence of overheated demand. They are evidence of a damaged supply side. Monetary policy cannot reopen a shipping lane. It cannot pump more oil. It cannot repeal geopolitics. It can only crush demand somewhere else, usually with a lag, and usually in the most interest-rate-sensitive corners of the economy first, housing, commercial real estate, capital spending, and durables. Those sectors did not close the Strait. They are simply first in line to pay for the Fed’s intellectual mistakes. That is the Keynesian reflex in its purest form. Every price spike becomes “inflation.” Every inflation scare requires a rate move. Every rate move is advertised as proof of resolve. It is nonsense. A change in relative prices caused by a supply shock is not the same thing as an inflationary spiral. Pretending otherwise is how central banks turn an external shock into a domestic recession. Machiavelli explained why change is so hard. The innovator makes enemies of everyone who did well under the old order and wins only lukewarm defenders among those who might benefit from the new. Christensen gave the same warning in corporate language. Incumbent institutions kill disruptive change because their processes, incentives, and prestige are built around the existing model. That is the real problem Warsh faces. The resistance is not incidental. It is structural. The test for Warsh is not whether he can sound tough on television. It is whether he can resist the Wall Street catechism that every supply shock must be met with tighter money. If he hikes rates into a supply-driven price spike to prove his anti-inflation credentials, he will not have broken with the Keynesian regime. He will have submitted to it. This is not the 1970s. Expectations are not unanchored, and the productive economy is already scarred by years of policy excess, fiscal decadence, and institutional bias. The hope is that Warsh understands the difference between inflation and a supply shock, ignores the Keynesian pundits, and refuses to compound one policy error with another.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says Kevin Warsh will PLUMMET Fed interest rates, which will help Americans afford houses "I had a ROTTEN head of the Fed. Now I have a great head of the Fed. Kevin Warsh!" "Housing is all about interest rates. I know more about housing than anybody in history. No president. And they can pass all the bills they want. It's about interest rates." "You get the interest rates down. Everybody's going to be very, very happy. We're going to get it down very quickly."

When a man marries, his wife becomes his standard of beauty. Not Instagram. Not p*rn. Not the world. Not his memories. Her. Her smile. Her shape. Her laugh. God didn't call you to compare. He called you to cherish. Be a husband who reflects Christ's love for His bride.

@GregProctor 1 million?

@DanielKim828 You can do it with much less.

Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail. She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage. Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists. She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment. This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action. Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call.

@GregProctor Thanks for this info Greg. I guess all I need is 2-3 million dollars.

I haven't calculated my average monthly profit. As options sellers, we expect to make 1-5% per month on our net liquidity. I've found that to be a realistic figure. I would use that as a reference for what you can make realistically. Yes, my options income generally ranges from 15k - 60k per month.

@McDankins @Davo0820 Actually, they were removed on June 27, 2025

@Davo0820 Opendoor is already in the Russell 2000.....

@McDankins @Davo0820 That’s what I thought

@GregProctor What’s your average monthly profit from selling options? Based on your posts, I’ve seen figures ranging from about $15,000 to $37,000 per month. At roughly what portfolio size or asset value does generating that level of income become realistic?

@DanielKim828 No I usually have about 10-14 different underlying on.
