This is my starting point for this Journey. Let me know your thoughts, concerns, critiques. Who should I be adding? $NVDA $EOSE $USAR $GRAB $NVDL $SCHG $ACHR

@TheGoatGains Not sure what to make of this. I don’t consider it “massive dilution” but I do find it odd

Archer Aviation files to resell 3.3 million shares and issues $8 million in stock. This is not anything close to a “massive dilution event”. I think actually a good thing. The company is raising fresh capital to support its growth roadmap, which is exactly what you want to see from a company like Archer as it scales toward commercialization. $ACHR to $100!

@asym_investor It’s pumping, and it was down for awhile so gave me a chance to accumulate a decent position. 🫡 excited to see how it continues to perform

@MSBInvests Yessir I was honestly expecting no movement today from it. Glad to see otherwise. The metrics looked great! 😎

$ONDS has a strong earnings and we pump 20% What a move, glad I bought into this one. I need to thank @asym_investor for this one. I got put on fairly early.

If it were to hit 170 and I lose my shares I would receive 31% in stock appreciation on 200 shares in a week. Plus the $274 premium. Seems insane for a 5.5T company to move 15% by next end of next week even with earnings, but if it does I will be happy because I also own $NVDA. Best case scenario is $NVDL pumps but not all the way to 170, I keep the premium. I get more share appreciation and I run another call next week.

Nvidia earnings is next week. I hold 200 shares left of $NVDL and they added more strikes today. I know they report earnings on the 20th but I was able to lock in a covered call on $NVDL for next Friday at 170. Which paid me $137 premium per contract. Juiced up premiums because of earnings. However if it reached $170 by next week I’d happily sell out and cash in the appreciation. Plus I got paid $274 in premium if it does or does not. 🤑

@HertzyTrades Great post Hertzy, you broke it down perfectly between the positions you aren’t trying to maximize premium income on and positions you care less about. Love your statement of “renting volatility and collecting checks”

Many of you know me as an option selling guy. Yes, it is a huge part of my strategy but I am not a traditional “wheeler” I’m playing a different game. The core strategy: own what I believe in, make it pay me while I wait. Here’s how it works. THE FOUNDATION I go heavy in shares and LEAPS on companies I actually think win over the next 5+ years. Not meme stocks. Not flavor of the month. Businesses with real moats, pricing power, and tailwinds that aren’t going anywhere. Think $RKLB in space. $HOOD in finance. $TSLA in autonomy. $AMZN in e-commerce. These aren’t trades. They’re positions. LEAPS give me leverage without the heart attack risk of weeklies. More upside control, less capital, and time on my side. THE COMPOUND LAYER Once I’m in shares or LEAPS, I OCCASIONALLY sell options against them to chip away at my cost basis continuously. Two ways I do it: 1. Covered calls on shares 2. Poor man’s covered calls on LEAPS The goal isn’t income. It’s systematically lowering my break-even while still riding the growth I’m betting on. Every premium collected is a permanent cost basis reduction. Stack enough and you’re eventually playing with house money. THE SIDE HUSTLE On top of conviction plays, I run pure wheel strategies on names I don’t mind owning. This is where I sell MAJORITY of my options. Sell cash-secured puts during pullbacks → get assigned at a discount → sell covered calls until they get called away or expire → repeat. I’m not married to these positions. I’m renting volatility and collecting checks. Some names I frequently wheel: $TSLL, $ONDS, $PYPL, $IBIT, $TEM — enough liquidity and vol to make premiums worth it, but not so wild I get blown out. WHY THIS ACTUALLY WORKS Most people do one of two things: Buy and hold forever — slow, boring, no leverage. Trade options naked — fast, fun, account go boom. I’m doing both. Equity for conviction. Options for income/more buying power. The setup means I’m long my winners with size, collecting premium to fund my patience, reducing risk with every contract I sell, and generating cash flow while my positions appreciate. It’s not always sexy. But it compounds. And compounding is how you actually get rich.

@SparkingFIRENC The slow mental death of us corporate rats

You think early retirement will be boring? Try sitting in meetings 7 hours a day about things you don't give a damn about followed by a 75 minute commute home

@SparkingFIRENC Still fresh I started beginning of February. But it’s felt like ages since I’ve been insanely busy 😂

@MSBInvests How long has it been since you started the new job?

Nothing is easy. Since switching jobs I’ve dealt with extreme pressure and career anxiety. It’s normal, it’s part of growth, it’s needed to elevate yourself. Getting comfortable in the uncomfortable is challenging. My paychecks feel incredible, it fuels my investments which gets me closer to Barista fire. I stand by the best way to get ahead is to continually learn and job hop for more pay. Take on more pressure. You’ll thank yourself later. PS: My investments are crushing and I hope everyone else’s portfolio is also.

@asym_investor Yeah it was nearly a 50% gain so can’t complain but the position could be worth even more haha. Hindsight 20/20 though.

@MSBInvests Darn, good to lock in the gains though!

@asym_investor Yeah it had a crazy earnings and it has retraced quite a bit. Sadly my position got trimmed in half cause I ran covered calls that got called away at 45. Is what it is

@MSBInvests $USAR was a good pick indeed. I sadly sold my $IREN but it was pretty awesome to see earnings!

I’ve learned first hand, as well as seen and heard it numerous times. You really only have leverage in your starting pay, from there it’s incremental cost of living raises. Love that for you dude. I’m in the thick of it right now but the pressure and skills equal more money bigger network. Just trying to retire early my friend.

@MSBInvests The job hopping advice is real. Loyalty to one company rarely gets rewarded the way switching does. Every jump I've made came with more money, more skills, and yeah more pressure. But the pressure is what funds the freedom.

@investing_note You said it perfectly! It’s always uncomfortable and staying complacent is appealing but we want to retire early so we have to continue to keep taking risk.

@MSBInvests Growth rarely feels comfortable in the moment, but the pressure can become fuel when it’s tied to a bigger goal.

@asym_investor $IREN is up 80% since I bought. $USAR finally pumping and getting love. So my thesis was right just was early early. That’s at 90%. I started scaling a position into a decent size for $UUUU this is barely up but I like this name a lot here. 🫡

@MSBInvests What’s the big winners lately boss?

@liza_MEXC This sounds like the opposite of what I want. 😂 I want to quit my 9-5 and lock in with trading while I travel.

Imagine you and bro finally quit trading, got 9-5s and locked in for 45 years 🧘🏻‍♀️

Monster Green Day today, I haven’t been able to post as much as I would like. However so many names are pumping. 🤑 Debating if I run covered calls here, or play it safe and see it run a bit more just to minimize the risk of getting any runner from being called away early.

@Goratamq I’ve tended to trim too early and miss out on big opportunity cost sadly. It’s happen numerous times, can’t complain about locking in gains but trying to manage this one carefully. It isn’t massive position either for me which makes it more likely for me to just hold.

@MSBInvests Got it, makes more sense. At that point the real question is how have you personally handled winners like that in the past. Do you let it run until the trend actually shows weakness? or it's your first real win ?

Trim my 100% $IREN or are people holding to 100s?

@Goratamq I should clarify that it’s not 100% portfolio allocation but was 100% return from initial investment

@MSBInvests The interesting question isn’t whether $IREN can still go higher, it’s whether the current upside still justifies staying 100% exposed after the rerating.

@RichNFT84 @zerohedge I would love that 🤑

@MSBInvests @zerohedge Hold. Goin way over 100 this year! Lol re rate incoming soon!

*NVIDIA & IREN REPORT PARTNERSHIP *NVIDIA TO INVEST UP TO $2.1B IN IREN

@AndressaRohr Long term, it’s pulled back a bit but I don’t see any reason not to continue to hold.
