HOW TO MAKE MONEY SELLING PUTS
The low-risk method for turning limit orders into cash.
Airbnb shares hit the market today and doubled right away. This in a time when half the planet is shut down and many people are scared to travel.
It is very hard to find a bargain anywhere, similar to June / July where everything popped, only to tank in value by September.
1) Sit in cash.
2) Buy now, expecting both a future drop and recovery.
3) Sell puts , treating them like limit orders and collecting cash while you wait for share prices to fall.
We'll focus on number three.
Anyway, back to the main content.
Sounds complicated, but it's not.
Here's a full explanation of the mechanics (with some simplified math):
You would collateralize $6,000 while being paid $46 as a premium. If Bristol-Myers closes lower than $60 on the 18th, you take possession of 100 shares.
HOWEVER...
You can also sell puts on ETFs like $VYM, $VOO, etc... which further lowers your long-term risk (if you're willing to hold long-term).
However, done right, this is a good way to generate extra cash while waiting for prices to lower on assets you already want to buy.

Yesterday was brutal for some people...
Losing life-changing money sucks, losing any money sucks...you can chase the market or you can change your strategy.

tl;dr
- Traded $32k to $1.2m
- Thought I was a genius
- Made poor investments
- Didn't conserve capital
- Peaked at 150 BTC
- Lost nearly all of it
2 weeks from losing my house + no income. Oops.
3/ I am going to assume you are in it for the money rather than the tech. Yeah, you might Tweet about the amazing blockchaining of cross-border payments and oracles yadda yadda...really, you are in it to make money.
If you are really in it for the tech, go and build something.
4/ Okay, so if you want to make money, trading is super hard, you are trading against:
- Better traders than you
- People who can move markets
- Unknown information
And if you are trading with leverage you might blow up your account with the volatility.
5/ If you are not trading, you are investing. Okay, so what are you investing in?
I made the decision that the crypto with the best opportunity of existing in 10 years is #Bitcoin:
- Solves a genuine problem
- The right tech
- A proven track record
