My $300K Move + Mike’s $295K Win (Full Breakdown Inside)

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

The market has pushed higher post-hours, with $QQQ ( ▲ 0.44% ) now touching 578, almost at my 580–590 price prediction zone. I believe a market pullback is due, as profit taking becomes more likely after strong earnings from Microsoft, Qualcomm, Meta, Robinhood, and others.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. Market outlook and my updated cash allocation plan

2. Client wins: $295K year-to-date and $600K lifetime

3. Free trade of the week: $HOOD ( ▲ 0.5% ) 4% ROI in 30 days

4. Bonus video: my $300K move into HUD, Meta, and SoFi

Market Snapshot

We are in my caution phase. QQQ is almost at the top of my range, and VIX remains low. A short-term rally could still happen, but the risk of a pullback increases at these levels. Any dip will be a good opportunity to buy quality names, but I’m shoring up cash to be ready.

The Federal Reserve did not cut rates, which was already priced in. The CME FedWatch tool still shows over 80 percent odds of a rate cut in October. My current cash levels are 17 percent, as I recently put on a couple new positions. I may increase cash to 20–25 percent, possibly even 30 percent, later in the week.

Our featured interview this week is with Sean. In his first month with us, Sean made $79,000 in profit. Since then, he is up $600,000. This interview is one of our best and remains inspiring to watch.

Doc Mike posted his year-to-date gain since joining Options Trading University: $295,884.02. This is a massive achievement, and a clear example of applying our strategy consistently.

Free Trade of the Week

Robinhood $HOOD ( ▲ 0.5% ) is my free trade of the week now that earnings are behind us. I believe HOOD offers strong opportunities for consistent returns going forward.

Trade: Sell August 29th $97 cash-secured put
Premium: 4% ROI in 30 days (annualized ~48.7%)

Robinhood is forming a bull flag pattern and could break out soon if the market pushes higher. Any dips will likely be bought up. Earnings were strong, and fundamentals remain solid.

Learn from this investor’s $100m mistake

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
