Options basics: calls, puts, and trading with defined risk
How I think about options as tools for leverage and protection — with a focus on knowing your max loss before you click buy.
ReadMoney
Everything money, from the trading desk to the savings account.
I trade stocks and options, invest for the long run, keep a boring savings system, and build side income. Here’s what I’ve learned.
Stocks & options
Defined-risk trades, position sizing, and a journal for every entry and exit.
Investing
Low-cost, diversified, automated. The boring core that funds everything else.
Savings
Emergency funds, high-yield accounts, and systems that work without willpower.
Side gigs
Income streams that compound — and how to turn one into a real business.
Principles
The rules I actually follow
Simple to say, hard to do consistently. Consistency is the whole game.
- 01Know your maximum loss before you enter a trade.
- 02Automate saving and investing on payday.
- 03Keep costs and taxes low — they compound too.
- 04Write the thesis down. Review it honestly.
- 05Build income that keeps paying after the work is done.
