Hey friend,

If I haven’t mentioned it before, I’m an avid believer in side hustles.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve scaled and sold vending machines, a small software testing company, and other ventures. All of them required significant effort to start and maintain.

But the side hustle I’ve been earning money from since January 2026 is the easiest money I’ve ever made. Every Monday morning before getting out of bed, I earn between $150 and $200 without clients, meetings, or emails.

Just one action that takes less than 5 minutes, and I’m done for the week.

Let me teach you how to do this…


Strategy Overview:

Most traders have to time the market to be profitable. They have to be right about which direction the stock will go, how quickly it’ll get there, and they have to manage their risk the entire time.

As someone who made thousands of dollars doing it for a few years, I can tell you that now, with two kids, it’s exhausting. So, I don’t do this anymore.

Instead of getting paid for trying to time the market, I get paid no matter what the stock market does.

In a nutshell: I own great companies, sell their options to traders trying to time the market, and collect a small fee each time.


Step 1: Own The Right Kind of Companies

This is the first step, and often where beginners go wrong.

You need to buy well-known businesses with leading products and active options markets. These are companies you're comfortable holding long-term—think whales like Apple, Amazon, and TSM.

The problem is that these companies cost more than small-cap stocks, so beginners try this strategy with the cheapest stocks they can find to save money.

It never works out. Please, buy whales.

Here’s why the whales matter:

  • They pay you at least 15x more than cheap companies. That’s because the premium you collect is directly tied to the stock's price and volatility. So, the higher the price and volatility, the more income you’ll make.

  • Someone is always willing to buy options on them. This means you can consistently generate income week after week.

  • If the market falls, you're still holding quality stocks. You own the cream of the crop, not small companies that may never recover their value.

Over the years, I’ve built a curated list of 24 whales that I trust. Companies I’m completely comfortable holding even if the market gets messy.

Note for free subscribers: Apple, Amazon, and TSM are on that list. I mentioned them earlier, so try this strategy with those until you decide to join and get access to the other 21 companies.

Your mission is to own 100 shares of one of these companies. You cannot run this strategy until you do.
