Why This Market Looks Like 2019 (Plus Richard’s $26K SoFi Win)

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

Earnings season continues to show the market’s resilience. NVIDIA reported strong results, and while the stock dipped slightly post-earnings, I remain very bullish on the overall market.

Here’s what we are covering:

  1. Why this market reminds me of 2019

  2. Client spotlight: Richard’s $26K win on SoFi

  3. Bonus video: my NVIDIA earnings breakdown and $168K position update

Market Snapshot

I’m long-term very bullish here. $QQQ ( ▲ 0.63% ) looks like it can grind up to 590 in the short term, and earnings season has proven companies are still strong.

With VIX staying low, I’m sticking closely to my cash allocation levels. I’ll be around 20% in cash by Friday.

QQQ grinding higher

VIX heading to sub $14

One interesting comparison: the current market feels a lot like 2019. Back then, after the Fed announced rate cuts in December 2018, the $VIX ( ▼ 2.83% ) stayed under 20 nearly the entire year except for three brief spikes — all of which were buy-the-dip opportunities. I believe we’re seeing something very similar now, with rate cuts expected from late 2025 through 2026.

VIX above 20 only 3 times in 2019

Client Spotlight

Richard followed the exact principles we teach in OTU and sold safe cash-secured puts on SoFi. He closed them out for $26,000 in premium, a huge win from simply sticking to the system.

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.

Bonus Video

I just uploaded my latest video breaking down NVIDIA earnings, my $168K position, and how I plan on reallocating those funds tomorrow. This one is a must-watch if you’re trading NVIDIA into the next leg.

Every dip is a chance to position smarter for the next rally.
