Mark’s 40% Return in 4 Months + My New CSP Setup (Free Trade)

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

Markets remain bullish as the September rate cut odds climb to 92 percent, supported by weak jobs data and renewed momentum in tech. QQQ recovered quickly from last week’s dip, closing today at 564.

I’ve reduced cash allocation to 13 percent and am looking at further adjustments tomorrow. With the pullback last week and quick rebound today, this is a strong environment to position into high-conviction names like SOFI, which I’ll cover in the Free Trade section.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. Market outlook and why I’m bullish

2. Free trade of the week: SOFI CSP with 3.05% ROI

3. Client wins: Mark’s 40% in 4 months + daily wins from the group

4. Bonus video: Palantir and HIMS earnings update (I’m Selling Off One Of Them)

Market Snapshot

The market’s tone has shifted dramatically over the past week. Last Friday’s weak non-farm payroll report and softer jobs data increased the probability of a September rate cut from roughly 80 percent to 92 percent, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Historically, higher odds of rate cuts in the near term tend to support equities, especially growth and tech.

$QQQ ( ▼ 0.04% ) saw a quick two percent drop last week, touching the lower Bollinger Band. That pullback was followed by a strong bounce today, with QQQ closing at 564. This level sits just below key resistance in the 570 range. If we break above this zone, we could retest previous highs in short order.

$VIX ( ▼ 0.66% ) spiked close to 22 last week during the pullback, reflecting short-term fear. Today, it has cooled, aligning with the market’s rebound. As long as VIX remains contained and below 18, this provides a favorable backdrop for option premium selling.

My cash allocation is currently 13 percent, down from 22 percent earlier. If we see continued strength tomorrow, I may reduce that to 10 percent to capitalize on favorable setups. The pullback and rebound pattern we just experienced is exactly the type of action that can set up strong moves in high-conviction names.

Palantir and HIMS reported earnings today. Both names are in focus for potential adjustments in my portfolio. I’ll be covering my exact positions, what I sold, and what I’m holding in my latest video.

Free Trade of the Week

This week’s trade is on $SOFI ( ▲ 1.94% ) Technologies.

Trade: Sell September 5th $20 cash-secured put
Premium: $0.61 per contract
ROI: 3.05 percent in 32 days (annualized ~34.8 percent)

The $20 strike is below the lower Bollinger Band on the daily timeframe, offering a great entry price if assigned. If not assigned, this is still a strong return for the duration.

Client Spotlight

We interviewed Mark, one of our newer clients. Within four months of joining, Mark has increased his portfolio by just under $40,000, about a 40 percent return. This is especially impressive as he runs a busy business, and trading is now integrated into his lifestyle.

Daily wins today were also substantial. One client posted a $6,000 profit, noting that this has paid for his mentorship entry many times over. We also had multiple clients post profits in the thousands today.

Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
