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.

@theficouple Too many unknowns to answer. Am I debt free other than the mortgage? What rate do I have on the mortgage and other debts? How market savvy am I? On the surface I would say invest about 80% and out the rest towards the house

@NPHSLadyHoops You are the standard now, and everyone will be gunning to take down the champs!

@NPHSLadyHoops Awesome win ladies. Love the way you all play team ball. 10 played out of her mind last night. She's definitely on her way. 23 hit clutch shots whenever they needed one. It was fun to watch! Enjoy your history making win for awhile, but be prepared for next season

Genuine question on a restaurant situation:
You walk up to a counter to order.
You find your own table and seat yourself.
If you order coffee, they hand you a cup and you go fill it up yourself.
If you order food, they hand you a buzzer and when it goes off, you go pick it up yourself.
The iPad has a “20%, 25%, 30%, Other” tip option, with 20% already preselected.
What’s your move?

@NPHSLadyHoops Great W tonight ladies! Keep grinding and please box out! 😄

@MarkZinno At 40 I'm guessing you had at least 20 years of gym experience too. So yes at 21 or so, this is insane. He's still developing and likely isn't as strong as he's gonna be.

Uhhh … that’s my height and weight and I was doing 20 reps of 225 at 40 years old. It’s not that insane.

Insane: Georgia WR Zachariah Branch doing 20 bench reps is absolutely mad for a guy his size. Branch is 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds. 🤯🤯🤯

@NFL_DovKleiman Here come the form police! Obviously bouncing is allowed. It also does not take away from the fact that the young man is very strong.

@Raindropsmedia1 He is working on his defense. He will likely say he has some time of disorder
