I'm only going to say this once:
LEAPS are by far the best way to grow a small account when done correctly.
One contract. Exposure to 100 shares. A fraction of the cost. 12+ months of runway. Amplified returns. Defined max loss.
No margin. No weeklies. No staring at charts all day.
My results from LEAPS:
- $IREN: 800% gain
- $HOOD: 700% gain
- $NVDA: 300% gain
But this only works if you're disciplined about entry. Most people buy LEAPs at the wrong time, on the wrong stock, with the wrong strike and expiration. That's how a leveraged position bleeds to zero.
There are specific conditions I look for before I enter, and specific rules around strike selection and expiration that keep the odds in my favor. Get those wrong and LEAPs will hurt you. Get them right and a small account can do things most people don't think are possible.
Comment "LEAPS" and I'll send you my free cheat sheet - everything I use to find, structure, and manage these trades on one page.
How far should you long toss to gain velocity? It depends on your arm slot. Over-the-top guys with good backspin naturally throw further than lower slot guys with side spin. But distance doesn't mean one throws harder than the other.
My ideal presidential ticket for 2028….
Rand Paul / Thomas Massie
That’s the anti-MAGA ticket in the GOP. If they run, I’ll support them over Vance/Rubio in the primaries.
Pitino made the Sweet 16 at Providence.
Pitino made the Sweet 16 at Kentucky.
Pitino made the Sweet 16 at Louisville.
Pitino made the Sweet 16 at St. John’s.
He is the greatest coach of all-time.
It might not be close.
