The BIGGEST hack with selling portfolio secured puts is that you can technically make an unlimited ROI.
(not kidding)
Roll with me on this one, it will BLOW YOUR MIND!
So selling puts is a bullish strategy.
That's why I would never want to sell "cash secured puts", I sell "portfolios secured puts."
(cash sits there and does nothing, but portfolio secured works for you being invested)
Ok.
So when I sell portfolio secured puts and collect say $20k for example, I take that cash flow and buy $20k in shares of the company I am bullish on. (same one I am selling puts on)
I usually sell 1 year contra

Most CEOs are compensated with stock options.
They can exercise them when the stock hits a certain price.
So what does every CEO want?
Stock to go up.
EPS to grow.
Revenue to grow.
They are all incentivized to make the company more valuable.
And they do this in years... not months.
When you buy 1-2 year LEAP calls.
You are on the exact same side as the CEO.
They want EPS to grow.
So does your call option.
They want the stock higher.
So does your call option.
You are aligned with some of the most motivated people in the world.
People who have millions/billions of dollars personal

If you held a gun to my head and said "Brandon, beat the market in the next 10 years or you are dead"
I would say, no problem.
There is a 99% chance I will.
This is exactly how.
First off, "the market" is the SP500.
We will say I have a $1m account to start.
The first thing I would do to beat the market is to simply buy the market.
So I would buy $1m of $VOO (sp500 ETF)
Second, just buying the market via $VOO will actually underperform a tad because of the expense ratio... no prob
So here is the spot that matters to beat it.
In that 10 year period, I would be patient, sitting, & waiting for a

Here is something nobody talks about.
When the market is running hot.
Everyone is excited. Buying calls. Leveraging up.
That excitement drives up the price of call options.
High demand = high premium.
I am not buying those calls with the crowd.
I am selling them.
Taking top dollar from the people chasing the market up.
Generating cash flow at the worst possible time to be buying calls.
Because statistically.
The farther the market stretches above the EPS growth line.
The higher the chance of reversion.
So I take their money now.
Keep powder dry.
Wait for the dip.
Then I flip.

People always ask how the $30k a month actually works that I get from my investing system.
Here is the loop. Step by step.
1. Find a quality company at a good valuation with EPS growing.
2. Sell a 2 year portfolio secured put. Collect $5,000 to $25,000 instantly depending on the position size.
3. Take about 60% of that premium. Buy shares of the same company/ETF.
4. Take about 40%. Buy 2 year LEAP calls of the same company/ETF
5. Repeat this across multiple quality setups. Keep total assignment value under 40% of liquidity.
Now you have puts working. Shares compounding. LEAP calls magnify

The stock market will NOT go green every year.
Sometimes we will see -40%🔴
Sometimes we will see +40%🟢
If your portfolio can't handle this, you don't have a portfolio, you have casino chips at the blackjack table.
Eventually you will lose if you keep playing.

Before I sell any put option I ask myself one question.
"Am I comfortable holding these shares long term if I get assigned?"
If the answer is no.
I did not do enough research.
I do not actually believe in the company at this valuation.
I do not sell the put.
I move on.
If the answer is yes.
I sell the put (portfolio secured not cash secured)
Collect the premium.
Deploy it into shares and LEAP calls of the same company.
If I get assigned I am happy.
I own a quality company at a cheaper price.
If I do not get assigned the put expires and I keep the premium.
I win either way.

I have over $2 MILLION bucks in the stock market in $VOO and $Q.
That will average 11% annually int he long run.
I’ll make $220k a year for doing nothing
This doesn't even account for the $25k+/mo I make with 1+ year portfolio secured put options
Fibonacci that!

Two people. Market is cheap. Both sell puts.
Person A sells a 1 month put.
Collects about $1,000.
Market goes up. Makes money.
I sell a 2 year put when the setup is compelling.
Collect $18,000 instantly.
Both made money.
But I made 18x more.
And here is the thing that kills Person A.
To match what I made.
They have to sell 18 puts in a row perfectly. Month after month after month.
Some months the market is hot.
Premiums are small.
Some months the market dips.
They lose on their sold put.
Some months they roll.
It costs them money.
I made one trade at the right time.

One day you will remember this pic & wish you didn't waste so much time and energy day/swing trading.
Yes, I trade stocks
Yes, I trade options
But I do EVERYTHING in terms of 1 to 2 year tome horizons.
That's where the big money is.

When the market is cheap and everyone is panicking.
Two things are true at the exact same time.
1. Put options are expensive.
Herd is buying them for protection.
2. Call options are cheap.
Nobody wants to be bullish.
So I do both at once.
Sell puts for top dollar.
Buy calls for bottom dollar.
Then the market recovers.
The put I sold for top dollar is now worth almost nothing. I close it early. Take the profit.
The call I bought for bottom dollar is now worth a lot. Sentiment flipped. Everyone wants calls again.

I make about $29k a month with options.
NO Charts
NO Day trading
NO Swing trading
NO Covered calls
NO Cash secured puts
NO BS
INSTEAD, I DO THIS:
Build base portfolio
Sell portfolio secured puts (not cash secured)
Buy LEAPS with the premium from sold puts
BUY shares with the premium from sold puts
(all 1+year option contracts)
I can explain it to a 12 year old & I will likely outperform 95% of people that read this.
Simple wins.

Ask yourself this one question before any options trade.
Could a CEO make this company meaningfully more valuable in one week? No. Almost never.
Could they do it in 1 to 2 years? Almost every single time. Absolutely.
So why are you doing weekly options?
You are not betting on business fundamentals.
You are gambling on short term news flow, headlines, and market noise.
Fundamentals cannot change in a week.
EPS cannot grow in a week.
Revenue cannot compound in a week.
That is why most retail options traders lose money.
They are playing a game where the fundamentals cannot even show up.

Most people lose money with options.
Here is the exact reason why.
They treat options as the strategy.
They buy weekly calls because something "looks good."
No thesis. No conviction. Just a gut feeling.
That is a magnified bet on a guess.
You are going to take a magnified loss. Every time.
Options are not the strategy.
Options are the multiplier.
You find a great company at good valuation with EPS growing.
High confidence it goes up over 1-2 years.
Then you layer options on top to multiply the return.
No confidence in the direction.
No option trade. Simple.
That is why I have a 9

Volatility is elevated right now.
The herd is scared.
They are flooding into puts for protection.
Paying top dollar for them.
I am on the other side of that trade.
When IV spikes. Premium goes up.
That means I collect more money per contract sold.
Fear is my payday.
I sell the put. Collect the premium.
Deploy it into more shares & LEAP calls.
Nothing sits idle.
The herd waits for certainty.
Certainty never comes.
And they miss the entire rebound.
Same cycle. Every time.

A lot of people in my DMs asking how I have beaten the market for 10 years.
10 year CAGR of 25.89%.
S&P did about 15% over the same period.
Here is the system.
Base portfolio first:
- 40% VOO
- 40% Q
- 20% individual stocks that pass the 5 filters
This alone already beats 95% of professional fund managers.
Then the options layer on top:
- Sell portfolio secured puts on undervalued quality names
- Take the premium. Buy more shares & LEAP calls.
- Nothing sits idle. Ratios always in check.
The options layer is what separates 15% from 25%.
Base first. Always.

I am looking to 2030 for these plays.
$MSFT $MU $META $UNH $TSM $HOOD $NVDA
Not 2026. Not next quarter. Not next month.
Short term = Volatile. "Scary" Noisy.
Long term = Good companies. Good prices. EPS growing.
All in the buy range up right now.
You are probably going to wish you allocated to most of this when you look back from 2030.
The news will move on.
The Iran situation settles.
The next thing comes.
The next thing after that.
But EPS keeps growing.
And the stock follows EPS. Every time.
Only invest money you don't need for 5+ years.
If you can do that. The rest takes care

If the market dropped 40-50% from right now.
I would not get a margin call.
I would be completely fine.
That is not luck. That is keeping ratios in check.
The rule is simple.
Total dollar amount on hook for put assignments.
Divided by your 7 day liquidity.
Market expensive (PE 20-22+): Stay under 40%.
Market fair value (PE 17-19): 40-50% is fine.
Market cheap (under PE 14): Go up to 65%+.
Right now the market is a little lofty.
So I keep powder a little drier.
Best setups only.
Nothing sloppy.
When it gets cheap. I deploy more.
When it gets expensive. I pull back.

Cash secured put on Microsoft at $370 strike.
$37,000 sitting in your account doing nothing.
Just waiting. Earning zero.
That is the cash secured trap.
Portfolio secured put on the same trade.
$0 idle.
Secured by your existing VOO & Q.
Collect the premium.
Deploy it immediately.
Buy more shares. Buy LEAP calls.
Same risk profile on the put.
Completely different use of capital.
That is how I generate $30k+ a month from options.
Not by letting $37k sit idle per trade.
By using my base portfolio as the collateral.
And putting every dollar of premium to work instantly.
Nothing sits

Two people. Same stock. Same direction.
One buys monthly call options.
One buys 2 year call options.
Monthly: Right direction. Wrong week. Expires worthless. Buys again. Same result.
2 year: Right direction. Off on timing. EPS keeps growing into the contract. Market prices it in. Wins.
Same stock. Completely different outcome.
This is why I never touch monthly options.
When you go 2 years out.
The market is looking past your expiration date.
It is pricing in EPS growth beyond the contract.
Your option benefits from that.
You just have to be right on direction.
Timing is forgiven.
