I remember you making the first video and I scoffed thinking you couldn’t double but clearly you’re good at this. I know it’s extremely speculative but this is so exciting to watch
Haha! Well, I was equally prepared to blow up my account and then make videos about it. I am hoping I can hit 100% gain in my Schwab account this week so I can stop documenting everything. It's been a tad stressful the last 4 months!
i'm going to sound like a 'groupie', I know, but Jake, the quality of your video teaching is outstanding. I think you win the 'Internet All-Comers Trophy'.
Your videos on Ukraine have been outstanding. I am just going back and starting to watch some of these videos from before the war. Very interesting and easy to understand. Thanks for your content from 🇬🇧
I always just go with the closest OTM strike price and select an expiration date 4-6 months out. My intention always being to sell to close it before the last 1-2 months.
Thank you for sharing so much with us on your channel! One of the skills set you shared to equip with is Technical Analysis, do you have any UA-cam Channels or Books to share with us?
Here comes another good presentation.I do appreciate your time, honesty,passion,energy and humble enough to share this educative information to all of us.Thank you Jake.
Hey James! I like to buy to open at the money options 6 months out. My intention is always to sell to close them 2 months before expiration to avoid losing the rest of the theta value.
If I may add, not only is your playlist helpful and those other channels helpful, but actually practicing options and options strategies is helpful. I opened a TD Ameritrade account just to use their paper trading in Think or Swim. It's proven to be very helpful to practice, learn, and make mistakes without risking my own money. Highly recommend!
I've heard good things about TD Ameritrade's paper trading. I've never tried it, but since Schwab bought out TD, I'm hoping I get access to that sometime to try it out. Cheers!
@@yvnnewd9217 I was making money for a short time but gravitated towards trading futures contracts bc it aligns with my lifestyle quite nicely. I plan on coming back to options by doing the wheel strategy sometime in the future tho.
@jakebroe thanks for sharing an awesome video. In your video when you spoke about moving averages were you referring to simple or exponential moving averages
This video is incredibly informative, thank you!. You did a great job breaking down your criteria for stocks and how to get the data. This helped clarify some concepts I didn't understand, thanks for sharing.
That's the plan John! I'm waiting for the fed to raise interest rates and as soon as the velocity of money in the economy slows down, it will be a great time to buy some puts!
@@JakeBroe I am kind of cautious now for any long term investing for myself nearing retirement. Have plenty of cash on side waiting for another possible deep like last March if it will ever get there. Either way, looking forward to learning more about trading options out longer than a few weeks with my Schwab account.
Great video as always Jake! I've been investing for a few years now, and recently started dipping my toes into options. I bought calls recently that are expiring in a few weeks. Is it generally best to sell the calls when the stock price is running up, or exercise the options and sell the stock right after?
I like you channel because you aren't trying to sell anything, but just provide information. I appreciate that very much. I am trying to learn more about shorting and options, but there isn't a lot of Good videos on it.
Hey Richard! No, I did not. I just sold puts and sold covered calls a couple times to get the experience of it all. Selling is much lower risk that buying. But paper trading is a good idea if you are still learning the lesser know details!
Absolutely love how you provide clear understanding of many moving things related to stocks/options and just genuinely honest!! Thanks so very much. Going to go through more videos now...
Jake, great videos, thanks! This video went over how you pick the stocks, but could you break down how you chose the options, strike, expiration, cost, etc?
Hey Mark! I cover all this in my videos in my options trading playlist, but I can make a video giving more to the point tips. That might be coming next week!
One of the most important videos I have seen. Wishing I saw this before losing a lot on PLTR CCIV FUBO etc. Big thank you Jake. One follow up question, How do u know when to baseball swing which stock. Do u keep checking all the 100 companies on a regular basis.
Hey Shiv! My next video will go more in depth with finding stocks. The answer now is that I have fractional shares of hundreds of companies in my brokerage account and every day I sort by biggest gainers or biggest losers and I just check a couple by looking at their charts and their fundamentals. When I find one I like, I make a buy!
Jake I really appreciate you making all these educational videos. Can you please show us how, buy to open and sell to close on fidelity platform. thank you!
Great video .. we rarely see such good video about option buying. Can you provide some info about how do you select strik price and expiration while buying call ?
You started trading in beginning of 2020. Anyone including me could make money. I doubled my money starting in March 2020. I started investing March 2020. If I would have put all my money in the biggest winner and could have made so much more. NVAX 348%, NVDA 122%, CVNA 241%, PLL 119%, PLON 168%, SOXL 138%, YETI 180% these are my highest returns and many more. I had no previous experience. It was pure luck. It was a learning experience. They are long positions. I want to learn call and puts but definitely scarly to me. I have 183k in my acct. so I can do margin.
Jake I love your channel. It’s been great starting point to learn the basics and a resource full guide on where to get more valuable information. Thanks for sharing
hey jake. you are one of few youtubers with qualitative content. sharp helpful and right on the point. great video as usual. just subscribed. thank you.
Your discussion of fundamental stock analysis was extremely helpful. I took extensive notes and I plan to follow your example when evaluating stocks in the future.
Great video Jake. What strategies do you like for your personal accounts? I am new at this and get a bit overwhelmed by all the different youtube opinions.
Jake as you are a massively great asset to Ukraine I can't see why they couldn't find a way to compensate you for your efforts eg offset your tax burden
This video is amazing! I am just getting started and I love the way you explain things. I just today converted my traditional IRA into a Roth, believing that I am going to really grow that money doing options. Then be able to take money out in retirement tax free. Is that what you are doing as well? Excellent content, love how you taught yourself all of this!
As always. Been following your Ukraine blogs. Wished I’d checked out these other blogs earlier. Your summary one of the better. When I watch yours and other UA-cam I reflect on where I made errors in the past … downside 30-40 years ago this info was not easy to access. THANK YOU.
Good Work, Jake! I do pretty well in trading now (thanks to options) and am listening to this video again to take notes on your selection process. Also shared this vid with someone I like who's down about 25-30% since she began trading 😳 and has had a difficult time with the whole options experience. I think your common-sense approach will help her a lot, so, thanks for doing this, especially this particular series.
I have been bingeing your videos.. Love you content and your way of explaining concepts with screenshot and charts. Followed you on instagram as well. Thank you so much for the video :)
I'm learning some good stuff, Jake. Love your transparency too. BTW, you mentioned there were only about 100 stocks you'd consider. Did you screen the entire S&P 500 one at a time or did you se a screener to find those key 100 stocks?
Hi Jake thank you for your videos. Can your share your thoughts about how to choose a right strike if you are buying a calls. Thank you in advance an greetings from Germany.
Yeah that true and so inspiring , I love the video and information, but my question is how can we gets a better signal to monitor my trade because am having 4BTC and 15k DOGE to invest with now
Hi Jake. Great video like always. Few questions. Do you always go for 4 months out? Do you ever exercise the option? If not, when do you generally sell to close?
I like contracts that are 4-6 months out because you don't lose as much value to theta decay and you don't pay as much for extrinsic value. I also never exercise contracts I buy. I always sell to close them for a profit. Weird things can happen after hours when contracts start getting exercised and I'll let the brokerage firms settle all that. I don't want something glitching out and then my account is down $30,000 because of an error in stock moving around.
Hey Jake! Can't tell you how much I appreciate your work on Y.T.. You have helped me out a lot. I have a burning question that relates to selling put options and when to "sell to close" Today I had 4 contracts with QQQ with a strike price of 367.50. This morning the stock fell a lot and I "sold to close" all four of my contracts right before QQQ dropped below my strike price. My account showed I was way up. I had a cost basis at 1.71 and I sold at 2.74. I still had until Friday before the contract expired and it was a week long 7 day contract. Instead of making the initial premium of 684.00, I sold and I "think" I made 1093.00 instead. Was this wise? Could I have done something else? Eventually the stock did drop below my strike price right after I "sold to close" my position. Thank you so much in advance Jake!
The Master!!!!!! I watched almost all of your teachings, some I even watched twice or more kakakaka and still not ready kakaka again....thank you thank you. I will post my first $1 profit someday kekekekekeke
Yep! 100% I agree! I am actually looking forward to seeing the market stall out or decline to learn what I can and figure out how to make money even when everything is going down (shorting and buying puts).
Hey Jake, thanks for being so transparent and educational. I'm pretty new still so I have no intention of doing what you're doing...yet. I'm happy for your gains though! I do have some questions about taxes. With so much trading and short term gains, how are those going to be calculated? Quarterly estimated payments? ....Can losses be [double] written off since they are UA-cam videos which is work-related(??)...? Right? Technically it's a loss and an expense...That's probably just asking to be audited.
Hey Xeqcme! The quarter tax payments I am supposed to pay this year are calculated based on what extra money I owed for last year. So not much in quarterly payments, but I will have a huge tax bill at the end of this year. As for taxes on active trading, i cover that more in detail in this video: ua-cam.com/video/z_FEsms4jdw/v-deo.html
this video is awesome. just re-watched after learning for the past month and can understand more. i'm really wishing you had some bond investing videos and wanted to ask you to consider it here. i've heard an investment strategy i like to fluctuate from 0-20% bond allocation and basically sell high on bonds to buy low on stocks and repeat. I'm hoping after you complete your challenge soon you'll be ready for the next thing...and i would really love to hear your perspective on an equally complicated subject
Buying options are powerful if done correctly. I've made >100% profits in a day several times. Although I would never risk greater than 1% of my portfolio at any time and always day trade or next-day swing trade these due to theta decay, it still adds up as a nice speculative play along with your other strategies. Slightly out of the money contracts when the market is moving is a great way to profit off the momentum. I haven't bought anything but puts this year. I'm assuming you're doing the same? Nice job! I'd be interested in knowing what timeframe (DTE) you're buying these at?
Hey jake, I really like your style of trading. Very unique for call options trader. I prefer selling options but I also do long buy call options. Do you go 6 months and itm or atm? Or long with otm?
It's amazing to meet someone who also trade options and stocks in the stock market! I'd love to connect with you and learn more about your experience in the process of joining the military and trading options. I'm also interesting in joining the military after college this year and I'm trading stocks (options too). I have no previous experience in military.

Thanks Alvin! I am trying my best to figure this out. I don't wanna work anymore, lol

@@JakeBroe you’re not far from it!
You’re the most honest person on UA-cam my friend!
I truly truly appreciate that. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks so much Carlos! I try!
@@JakeBroe I think you should plan a study session for ur subscribers on zoom meeting.
I wish you would do investment videos again. They were great, honest and extremely educational.

Bravo to you for just sharing your knowledge with us. No pressure. No affiliate program. Just great videos.
Thanks for watching Gyl! I'm just here to talk about finance and investing with people, haha. No pressure!
This is amazing. No bs, just straight education and sharing your experience. I look forward to more of your videos now.
I’m just really trying to study and learn Bc this is amazing to me 🤓

I'm fine with boring stocks as long as they make me money. Thank you for all the information.
Same Jose! I was boring and predictable stocks that I can leverage and make money off of.
Can you do a video on technical/chart analysis in the most simplest terms for beginners?
Jake - can you talk about how you pick your strike price and how you set the date of your call options? Great video, congrats!
I always just go with the closest OTM strike price and select an expiration date 4-6 months out. My intention always being to sell to close it before the last 1-2 months.
Jake I really appreciate you making all these educational videos. I love your honesty!
Thanks Wolfgang! I appreciate you supporting me and my content! Cheers!
I haven't seen one of your videos in a while but just wanna thank you for your tsp advice. I'm up 80k over the past year. My PIP is 62%!!!
That's awesome Sabry! Glad your accounts are looking solid!
One of the best overall concise explanations of active trading you will find on UA-cam.

Haha, you've been with me this long deadleague, so I feel like you are smart enough to pick it up. Cheers!
@@JakeBroe I’ve definitely learned a lot from you. Thanks Jake!
Your channel is absolutely great, very clear, thank you!
Thanks Sol! I appreciate that!
This is one of my favorite channels to keep up on. About how far out do you typically buy your call options for companies like these?
or rather how are you determining how far out your expiration dates are
Hey James! I like to buy to open at the money options 6 months out. My intention is always to sell to close them 2 months before expiration to avoid losing the rest of the theta value.

Lot depends on the market also. The good thing about options is even in a bear market, you can make great money with puts.

your stock picking criteria is very good thank you for your video, im going to mirror your system
It is really really a very good guideline to start with. Thanks!
Hey Jake! Can't tell you how much I appreciate your work on Y.T.. You have helped me out a lot. I have a burning question that relates to selling put options and when to "sell to close"
Today I had 4 contracts with QQQ with a strike price of 367.50. This morning the stock fell a lot and I "sold to close" all four of my contracts right before QQQ dropped below my strike price. My account showed I was way up. I had a cost basis at 1.71 and I sold at 2.74. I still had until Friday before the contract expired and it was a week long 7 day contract. Instead of making the initial premium of 684.00, I sold and I "think" I made 1093.00 instead.
Was this wise? Could I have done something else? Eventually the stock did drop below my strike price right after I "sold to close" my position.
Thank you so much in advance Jake!

I haven't bought anything but puts this year. I'm assuming you're doing the same? Nice job!
I'd be interested in knowing what timeframe (DTE) you're buying these at?
Hey jake,
I really like your style of trading. Very unique for call options trader. I prefer selling options but I also do long buy call options. Do you go 6 months and itm or atm? Or long with otm?
I buy calls that are 4-6 months out and I go with a strike price closest to ATM. Then I hope to sell to close before 1-2 months before expiration.
It's amazing to meet someone who also trade options and stocks in the stock market! I'd love to connect with you and learn more about your experience in the process of joining the military and trading options. I'm also interesting in joining the military after college this year and I'm trading stocks (options too). I have no previous experience in military.
thanks Jake, its been great watching your success!
Thanks Dan! I appreciate the support!
@@JakeBroe do you have any thoughts on President Biden's possible capital gains bill?
@@investandcyclecheap4890 , almost everyone in Congress is a millionaire who trades on insider information (which is legal for elected people of Congress). It has no chance of passing... so people who want to worry about a big nothing are free to do so.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
