My $198K Buy and Reno’s 5 Percent Months

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

This week’s market action delivered one of the most bullish setups we’ve seen all year, and momentum is now shifting in a powerful way. With the Fed turning dovish and a fresh rate cut on the books, several high-quality names are presenting rare opportunities before the next leg higher. I’ll walk you through where I see QQQ heading, a standout client win, and a clean free trade idea you can model safely. Plus, I’ve included a new video breaking down the $198K position I added and the top stocks I’m buying going into 2026.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My market outlook for the week

2. Client Spotlight

3. Free Trade of the Week

4. Bonus Resource video and updates

Market Snapshot

After today’s Fed announcement, my outlook is very bullish. The quarter-point rate cut combined with the Fed’s dovish tone on the economy, unemployment, and future policy direction sets the stage for continued upside.

$QQQ ( ▲ 0.41% ) is currently trading around 627.61 and looks ready to test its previous all-time highs near 637. With $VIX ( ▼ 6.85% ) in the 15s, we are approaching the zone where confidence expands, FOMO accelerates, and markets often push into new high territory. Several strong names remain below their all-time highs, and I break these setups down in my newest YouTube video, including the position I increased to $198,000.

Client Spotlight

This week we’re celebrating our client Reno, who has been hitting consistent returns of over 5 percent per month. He recently reached a major milestone by generating more than $20,000 in monthly profit, showing what disciplined execution of our system can achieve.

We also saw clients Steve, Terry, and Mike close out gains of $6,000, $2,300, and $1,800 today inside Options Trading University.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $HOOD ( ▼ 0.04% )  
Strategy: Sell the January 16th 120 strike put
Premium Collected: $400
Duration: 12 days
ROI: 3.33 percent
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): 151 percent
Risk: Assignment risk at 120, which would give you a meaningful discount on Robinhood shares.

Robinhood is trading right near the 50-day moving average, with RSI in a comfortable range and no signs of overheating. This setup offers strong premium for a short duration and aligns with my broader expectation that HOOD can break out to new all-time highs in the next one to two months. Solid entry and a straightforward wheel-friendly level.

Myth: Pet insurance doesn’t cover everything

Many pet owners worry that insurance won’t cover everything, especially routine care or pre-existing conditions. While that’s true in many cases, most insurers now offer wellness add-ons for preventive care like vaccines, dental cleanings, and check-ups, giving you more complete coverage.
