 Can you make $1,000, $2,000 or even $10,000 a week by making promises? The answer is yes, yes you can. Making promises and actually sticking to them is not only super important in real life if you wanna have healthy relationships, but it can also make you a lot of money in the stock market. Last week I made $3,878 by making promises and in this video I'll show you how you can do the same. I'm talking about options trading, in particular, selling options. I'm not the best at buying options but I'm really good at selling them. So every time you sell an option, you make a promise. So technically it's an obligation to buy or sell shares of a company. Let's just make up an example. Let's just say you have $5,000 to invest and there is your favorite company called Subscribe with the ticker symbol SUB which currently trades at $50. So now you can either buy 100 shares directly for the price of $5,000 or you can sell an option saying you would love to buy it at a discount. So now you can sell a put option with the strike price of $45 with a timeframe of one week and for this promise that you would buy 100 shares at the price of 45, you will receive a premium. So what does that mean? So with this specific contract, you make a promise to purchase 100 shares at the strike price of $45 within a timeframe of one week. If SUB drops below $45, you have the obligation to purchase 100 shares at the strike price of $45. And if it doesn't, you just keep the premium for making the promise and you can start all over again next week. Let's look at the real life trade. Last week I sold two put options on Nvidia with a strike price of $300 which paid me $600 or to be exact, 1% of my investment in one week. When I placed the options, Nvidia was trading around $315. By the end of the week, Nvidia finished the week at $303.90 which means I did not have to buy 200 shares but I kept my $600 in premium and I got my collateral of $60,000 back in my account. Another way to get paid for making promises is to sell covered calls. You can do that whenever you have 100 shares of a specific company. Let's hop back into our example. Let's just assume that you already bought your favorite company, SUB at $45 and it's currently trading at $50. You don't wanna sell at $50 but you wanna make money while holding the shares. Here's what you can do. So you can make a promise to sell your 100 shares of SUB at $60 a share in one week. For this promise, you guessed it, you get paid. So here are the two outcomes. If SUB shares increase in value and surpass $60, you have to sell your 100 shares at $60 and if it doesn't surpass $60, you keep your shares in the premium. Let's look at the real life example again. Last week I sold 33 covered calls on Riot with a strike price of $56 which paid me $1,188 for the week. Let's see what happened. When I sold the contracts, the price of Riot was somewhere below $40 and since I wanted to keep my shares but still make money with them, I chose a strike price so far out which decreased the chances of me getting a sign. By the end of the week, Riot traded at $44.19 which means I kept my shares and my premium. Once again, I made a promise to sell my shares at $56 and got paid for that promise. It never happened so I didn't have to sell my shares. I got my collateral back and I can start all over again next week. So in total, I placed 40 contracts this week on different companies which paid me $3,878 this week. Out of the 40 contracts, 39 of them were sell orders and only one was a purchase, a buy order. Here's a list of my option trades in week 45 in 2021. So selling options is one of my favorite ways to make my money work for me. If you want to give it a try but you don't wanna risk your money because you're not familiar with the process yet, don't worry, there are so many platforms like TD Ameritrade that offer paper trading. Paper trading means you have a fake, a play account where you can just test out the water and see how it feels. I think that's a great way to get started, test your skills with zero risk. So what are you waiting for? Make some promises and get paid.
