Sridhar’s $50K Month + 5 Stocks I’m Buying Into The Rate Cuts
Hey Options Trader,
The market is setting up for another strong rally as rate cuts are back on the table for September. With Powell confirming today that conditions may warrant cuts, we saw a rebound from the mini pullback. While I remain bullish, I’m sticking to my cash allocation levels for discipline and safety.
Here’s what we are covering:
Why I see QQQ heading to new all-time highs in the next two weeks
Client spotlight: Mark’s $40K win and multiple members profiting from Robinhood LEAPS
My free trade of the week on SOFI with 3.83% ROI in 35 days

Market Snapshot
I remain bullish, but with discipline. $QQQ ( ▲ 1.54% ) touched 556 on the pullback this week, before closing today at 571, and I believe we are headed to all-time highs at 590 soon. My target is for that move to happen over the next one to two weeks, especially as rate cut odds now stand at 89% for September after Powell’s comments.
$VIX ( ▼ 14.34% ) is currently 14.98. I expect it could push into the 13s and maybe even the high 12s before we get another real pullback. That’s why I’ve increased cash from 5% to 22% in just two days. Staying prepared is key, even while bullish.

QQQ has a ways to go before being overbought again on the RSI

VIX headed sub $14 by next week?
Client Spotlight
Mark joined with a $100K account and in his first four months has made $40,000. Last month, he nearly paid his rent in a day thanks to one of our LEAPS plays, booking $1,742 in profit.

This week, Sridhar led the way with a $50,000 win on Robinhood LEAPS, a 15% monthly return on his portfolio. Other members including Donald and Greg also booked nice wins, with Greg posting a $1,414 profit.

Free Trade of the Week
Trade: Sell September 26th $23 cash-secured put
Premium: $88
ROI: 3.83% in 35 days (annualized ~39.9%)
SOFI looks very strong here, with momentum suggesting it could reach 30 by year-end. The 23 strike is safe, offering attractive returns while keeping you positioned below current levels. SOFI also benefits from rate cuts and is not close to being overbought.
