Fear Just Collapsed, Here’s What I’m Buying Next

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The VIX collapsed from 29 to 18 in just days, while QQQ pressed toward all-time highs at 613. This week, I’ll break down why that shift matters, a simple 61% annualized setup on PLTR, and how one client is quietly compounding 7–15% per month while the rest of the market hesitates.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. Why I turned bullish after the market’s reversal

2. Client Spotlight: Zach’s 7–15% monthly gains

3. Free trade setup on PLTR (2.4% in 18 days)

4. Bonus Resource: 3 stocks I’m buying before November earnings

Market Snapshot

The market had two paths this week, either the $VIX ( ▼ 10.39% ) would collapse, or stocks would roll over. We got our answer.

The VIX dropped sharply from 29 on Friday to 18.24 today, while $QQQ ( ▲ 1.26% ) surged to 613. If we break that level tomorrow, I expect a move to 620 by the end of the week. Fear is easing, and strong companies are leading the move higher. Apple leading today’s rally is a great sign, smart money is flowing into high-quality names again.

I’m currently sitting at 13% cash, planning to raise that closer to 18–20% in line with my VIX allocation levels. Earnings so far have been solid. American Express crushed it last week, and this week brings key reports from Netflix, IBM, and $VRT ( ▲ 0.99% ) .

Next week’s rate cut decision (98% odds) could fuel the next leg of this rally.

Client Spotlight

Our client Zach joined the program and made $18,500 in his first month. Since then, he’s been consistently generating between 7 and 15% monthly returns.

We also had a flood of wins this week from members who took part in the Robinhood leaps trade with me, one client made $13,000, another $1,900, and another $2,388, with over 100 participants following the same setup.

That’s what disciplined trading looks like — consistent execution leading to consistent returns.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: PLTR
Strategy: Cash-Secured Put
Expiration: November 7
Strike: 157.5
Premium Collected: $375 (2.4% ROI in 18 days)
Annualized Compounded Return: 61%

Palantir continues to consolidate between 170 and 187, showing real strength ahead of earnings. Selling the 157.5 put gives a wide cushion and strong premium income. It’s a 20-delta setup that balances safety with solid reward in this bullish environment.
