The markets are sitting at all-time highs again. SPY and QQQ keep breaking records.
The VIX? Practically asleep. We have to be careful selling too much premium at all time highs when volatility are low.
A year ago, the headlines were screaming “uncertainty, inflation, and recession risk.” Now? Everyone’s bullish, chasing momentum, and piling into tech stocks like it’s a sure thing.
But here’s what You needs to understand:
🔹 The best trades aren’t made when everything looks obvious.
🔹 The market always cycles. If you only make money in one environment, you’re in trouble.
🔹 Low volatility means cheap options—and that’s where smart traders get to work.
So what am I doing?
I’m crushing earnings trades in Good Kids Trading Discord. Just a few of my winning trades, it's been an amazing couple of months. Goodkidstrading.com/join to get access.
How I’m Making Money Selling Puts on Earnings Gaps
Lately, I’ve been selling puts on quality stocks that gap down on earnings.
It’s a simple, math-based approach:
✅ Find a company I don't mind owning 100 shares of.
✅ Wait for an overreaction (good earnings, but poor guidance, causing short-term fear).
✅ Sell a cash-secured put at a strike price where I’d love to buy shares.
✅ Get paid immediately for the obligation.

Either I keep the premium if the stock bounces, or I get the stock at a discount.
I’ve been doing this on solid companies that the market is temporarily punishing.
And next week? It’s a shortened trading week because of the holiday—meaning fewer trading days, but still plenty of opportunities to collect cash flow.
The Power of Small, Repeatable Wins
There are 252 trading days in a year.
Think about this:
💰 If you make just $25 a day in options premium, that’s $6,300 a year.
💰 If you make $50 a day, that’s $12,600 a year.
💰 If you make $100 a day, that’s $25,200 a year.
That’s real passive income—without taking huge risks, without staring at charts all day, and without needing some “perfect stock pick.” This is exactly what I teach in my free Put Selling Mini-Course.
What Comes After You Get the Stock? The Covered Call Game Begins.
Selling puts is great for entering trades. But what do you do when you actually own the shares?
That’s where covered calls come in.
If I sell a put and end up with stock at a discount, I can immediately start renting out my shares by selling covered calls.
Real estate investors rent out houses. I rent out my shares.
And this is exactly why I’m teaching the Covered Call Mini-Course in March.
