How a Covered Call Works for a Small Investor

May 15, 2022 by Road-to-wealth, posted in FINANCE / MONEY

On the famous Friday the 13th, I was scrolling my Twitter account. I felt like talking to people and answering my opinion on various investment issues and the market in general.

I saw a post (I’m not going to mention names because I didn’t ask for permission) where he mentioned covered calls, one of his primary sources of income through his investment portfolio.

Among the comments, there was one that caught my attention and said:

“I’m still learning. I have a $50 call on Verizon ($VZ) which expires in June of next year. Is there a better way to do this than buy and wait?”

I answered:

“Yes. Sell weekly or monthly covered calls. You’ll get income every month apart from dividends every three months (Verizon pays quarterly dividends). Reinvest profits. A call that expires in a year freezes your money.”

He tells me:

“Could you explain a covered call to me like I’m 6 years old? I understand calls and puts perfectly. I don’t understand anything beyond that. So I did that option really to learn and because it was so cheap. So I thought, why not?

I want to say I congratulate you and Thank you very much.

I congratulate you because not many dare to accept that they still do not have the necessary knowledge and are afraid to ask for help, especially in public, as is the Twitter network.

Thank you very much because I just got back from vacation from the island of Puerto Rico and I wasn’t sure what to write. You allow me to help you and others in a similar learning position.

Let’s do it this way first, I’ll give an example of a child investor, then I’ll cover what a covered call is, its risks and benefits, and I’ll finish with two real-life examples that I’m actively managing.

Key takeaways:

* What is a ‘covered call’?

* Risks of this strategy

* Benefits of this strategy

* Real examples

The Small Investor

You’re 6 years old, and you buy 100 hot-wheels cars for $2. However, you want to sell them in the future at a higher price. A ‘covered call‘ gives you the option to sell them at a higher price in the future while earning you income while keeping the cars in your possession.

Therefore, you sell the option to Juanito to buy the cars from you for $2.50 if the cars are worth $2.50 or more in the future. Juanito pays you a credit, let’s say $0.50, for having the opportunity to buy those cars.

At a stipulated date in the future, say a month from now, one of two things will happen.

1. Cars are worth $2.50 or more. Juanito returns to you to buy the cars. He takes your cars and pays you the $2.50. You keep the $0.50 he paid you for the contract and receive the $2.50 per car in cash.

You have the cash and credit to go back and make another investment. You generated a profit of $0.50 per car ($2.50 sale price – $2 cost) plus the $0.50 credit.

2. Cars have not yet increased in value above $2.50. The contract expires. Since it is not worth more than $2.50, Juanito will not want to exercise his contract since he can get the cars at a lower price. Juanito loses $0.50 that you keep for yourself.

So you keep the $0.50 contract and keep your cars in your possession. It allows you to make a new contract for the next month, generating more income while you continue to reduce the cost of your cars.

What is a ‘covered call’?

It is an income strategy that helps investors generate income in addition to dividends (if the company pays dividends) and capital gains on the stocks or ETFs that you already manage in your portfolio.

Risks of ‘covered calls’

There are two types of risks:

1. The most considerable risk we incur is that we limit our profits on price appreciation.

For example, we buy 100 shares at $45 and sell a call at $50. We limit our earnings to $5 per share ($50 – $45) plus the credit we receive. If the stock rises above $50, the person who bought the call will exercise their option to buy $50 from us and sell it at the current market price.

2. The other type of risk is if the share price falls too low from where we buy because the further the price is from our effective cost, the credit we receive also decreases.

Benefits of ‘covered calls’

1. Selling ‘covered calls’ provides weekly or monthly income depending on the company. Some companies, like Verizon, sell weekly options. Others, like MPLX LP, sell options on a month-to-month basis.

2. Regardless of what price does after selling a covered call, the credit we receive is ours to do with as we please.

Buy whole shares or fractional shares of your favorite stocks, whether Tesla (TSLA) or any other company, commission-free with **Robinhood**.

Possible results

When we sell ‘covered calls,’ there are 2 possibilities:

1. The stock price rises more than the price established by our sale. At this point, the buyer is very likely to exercise his option and take our shares. Then, automatically, the equivalent of the money appears in our account as cash, and our shares disappear.

In this example, we realize capital gains plus any credit we have received. Now we start looking for another investment to repeat the process.

2. The share price remains below the established price by our sale. At this point, the option loses most or all of its value, generating our credit income, and we keep our shares intact so we can repeat the process.

In this example, we have 2 options:

a. We can wait for the option to expire and go up into the options heaven. It happens on Fridays, either weekly or monthly depending on the availability of the options. Then, when the market opens the following Monday after the expiration, we go back to sell another call with a new expiration date in the future.

b. We can do what is called a ‘roll over’ of the position, which means that we buy/close the current position before it expires for a low price between $1 to $5 and sell/open a new position for a credit to a new date in the future.

As an investor, it is up to you to decide which options to execute. It is your portfolio, and you must manage it your way. Both options are feasible.

Real examples:

Before we get into the examples, there are 2 requirements for this to work.

1. You must be authorized to buy and sell options.

2. You must be able to buy at least 100 shares of the company of your interest.

Each option consists of 100 shares. Therefore, if you do not have at least 100 shares in your portfolio, you cannot sell options contracts against that position. The part that refers to ‘covered’ means that your 100 shares are collateral for that position.

With **Fundrise**, you can become a digital landlord anywhere in the United States without the hassle.

MPLX LP ($MPLX)

1. The ex-dividend date for MPLX LP ($MPLX) was May 5, 22. If we wanted to receive its dividend, we had to buy the shares on May 4. That’s precisely what I did.

On May 4th, I bought 100 shares at $33 for an investment of $3,300. I sold the $33 call expiring May 20, 22, for a $40 credit.

It left me with two options:

1) the price closes below $33, and I keep the $40 credit and the shares to receive the $70 dividend ($0.70 dividend * 100 shares). By keeping the shares, I could continue to sell covered calls in the future.

2) the price closes above $33, and my shares get assigned to the person who bought my call. So I had $3,300 deposited into my account, and my shares disappeared.

The second option was what happened.

For a couple of hours of holding the stock, I received a $40 credit. After that, the shares disappeared, and my $3,300 returned to my account as cash. It left me with $3,340 to repeat the process.

**Get This High Dividend Tobacco Company Cover Your Expenses**

Intel Corporation ($INTC)

Like $MPLX, Intel Corporation had an ex-dividend date of May 5, but the difference is that $INTC has options available weekly.

So on May 3rd, I bought 100 shares for $45.40 for an investment of $4,540. I sold the call expiring on May 6 at $46 for a $38 credit.

Since the price of $INTC was below $46 on May 6, the option’s value lost the vast majority of its value, falling to $3. Therefore, I decided to roll over that position before the end of the day, buying the position for $3 and selling/opening a new position for $54 credit expiring May 13.

The price of $INTC is down, with the rest of the market hovering around $43.64 at yesterday’s close. Therefore, I did another ‘rollover,’ closing the position for $2 and selling/opening another position expiring on May 20th for a credit of $27.

I currently have a loss in the value of $INTC shares of ($176). However, I have received $114 in credits in two weeks. Here is the breakdown:

Credit: $38

Debit: $3

Credit: $54

Debit: $2

Credit: $27

Adding the credits ($119) and subtracting the debits ($5) gives us $114. Add to this the dividend of $36.50 ($0.365 dividend * 100 shares) that I will receive on June 1 since I held the shares as of May 5, and we have a total of $150.50 ($114 + $36.50).

I will keep doing this process until, in the future, the price of $INTC recovers to $46 or higher. Then, my shares get assigned to someone else, giving me my money back in the form of cash and allowing me to start the process with a new position either at $INTC or another company.

**Which Oil Stock Is A Better Buy? Exxon Mobil (XOM) or Enbridge (ENB)**

Note: We have several things to keep in mind.

1. If we want to keep our shares, depending on the price recovers, we can sell ‘covered calls’ at higher prices like $48, $50, etc. Not only does this continue to leave us weekly or monthly income through credits, but we also ensure more significant capital gains.

2. If the stock price continues to decline with the market, two things can happen:

a. Credits decrease if we continue to sell covered calls at the same price we started.

b. We are forced to sell covered calls at lower prices than initially started. It decreases the capital gain when shares get assigned to someone else. However, the credits must be higher since we are approaching the current share price.

How Do Dividends Work? Explained

January 2, 2022December 31, 2021 by Road-to-wealth, posted in FINANCE / MONEY

Companies that pay dividends more often do so in cash. It is a way of generating passive income. Yes, my dear readers, although cash dividends are the most popular and recognized type, there are other dividends besides cash.

These include dividends on stocks, bonds, property, and scrip (promissory notes). These are more likely to be used when acquisitions of other companies or in particular situations.

When companies pay cash dividends, they are sharing the company’s retained earnings with their investors. Cash payment will be deposited automatically in the accounts of each investor without requiring any action on their part. So if you invest in a company that pays dividends, you do not have to do anything to receive it. Your broker will do everything for you. You will have 2 options: receive the cash and use it as you think best, or activate what is known as (DRIP), a Dividend Reinvestment Plan that automatically buys you more shares in the company you are investing in.

APPLE (AAPL) has gained almost 50% for the year. Get your gains. Start Now!

How do you know which one suits you?

Very simple, if you are retired, with a good pension check and a huge investment account, accept the dividend as cash and enjoy it while supplementing your passive income.

If you still work and have a small account that cannot live on those dividends, enable your DRIP and not touch it until you retire.

Important dates:

To know if you will receive the dividend or not, you have to understand the following dates.

– Declaration Date: this is the day when the board of directors sits down and decides to announce the amount that each investor will receive per share and the ex-dividend date. Please understand that this date is just an announcement of what will happen. You still do not have the right to receive the dividend.

For example, the local newspaper has a page announcing that they will give toys to the children present on Saturday. Just as the child must be present on Saturday to receive his toy, you will receive your dividend if you owned shares in the company on the announced day.

– Ex-Dividend Date: this is the most important date apart from the payment date. To receive the dividend, you have to own shares by this date. Therefore, anyone who wishes to receive the dividend must purchase their shares BEFORE this date. At least the day prior since this is the first day that the shares start trading without the right to receive the dividend. Every day the market opens, shares will go up and down in price, but this date is the one that separates the line from each other, whether you receive the dividend or not.

For example:

The directors of Apple (AAPL) announced on October 28, 2021, that they would pay a dividend of $0.22 per share. The ex-dividend date was November 5, 2021, payable on November 11, 2021.

Anyone who wanted to receive this dividend had to buy their shares BEFORE November 5, 2021. If you purchased on November 5, you would not be entitled to anything since the directors announced that this would be the ex-dividend day. In other words, everyone purchasing from this date forward would not be entitled to the dividend until a new announcement.

– Record Date: is the date on which you must be a shareholder to receive the dividend. It is usually one or two days after the ex-dividend date. We do not do anything with this date. It is not as important to us as for the directors since this is the list of shareholders that will appear to receive the dividend.

– Payment date: It is the day you will receive your money. This date varies between companies. It can be from 1 week to a month after the ex-dividend date. Ensure to verify the information so you don’t miss your payday.

Let’s practice:

Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO) announced a $0.15 per share dividend with an ex-dividend date of January 4, 2022, payable on January 21, 2022.

1. If you have 100 shares, how much will you receive in dividends?

2. When is the last day you can buy shares and receive dividends?

3. When will you receive your $15?

Bank of America (BAC) has gained over 200% in the last 5 years.

Summary:

1. You will receive $15 in dividends. Multiply the number of shares by the amount of the dividend paid (100 shares x 0.15 cents in this example).

2. January 3, 2022, is the last day to buy and receive the dividend.

3. You will receive your dividend on January 21, 2022.

It’s that simple, my friends. If you want to verify which companies will pay dividends on a specific day, visit this Nasdaq page. Now put this new knowledge to good use.

¿Cómo Funcionan Los Dividendos? Explicado

January 2, 2022December 31, 2021 by Road-to-wealth, posted in FINANCE / MONEY

Las empresas que pagan dividendos, con mayor frecuencia lo hacen en efectivo. Es una forma de generar ingresos pasivos. Sí, mis queridos lectores, aunque los dividendos en efectivo son el tipo más popular y reconocido, existen otros dividendos además del efectivo.

Estos incluyen dividendos en acciones, bonos, propiedades y notas de promesas. Es más probable que se utilicen en adquisiciones de otras empresas o en situaciones especiales.

Cuando las empresas pagan dividendos en efectivo, están compartiendo las ganancias retenidas de la empresa con sus inversionistas. El pago en efectivo se depositará automáticamente en las cuentas de cada inversionista sin requerir algún tipo de acción por su parte. Entonces, si inviertes en una empresa que paga dividendos, no tienes que hacer nada para recibirlo. Su corredor de bolsa hará todo por usted. Tendrás 2 opciones: recibir el efectivo y usarlo como mejor te parezca, o activar lo que se conoce como (DRIP), un Plan de Reinversión de Dividendos el cual automáticamente te compra mas acciones en la empresa que estás invirtiendo.

APPLE (AAPL) a incrementado casi 50% por el año. ¡Comienza a generar dinero hoy!

¿Cómo sabes cuál te conviene?

Muy sencillo, si estás retirado, con un buen cheque de pensión y una cuenta muy grande de inversiones, acepta el dividendo como efectivo y disfrútalo mientras complementas tus ingresos pasivos.

Si todavía trabajas y tienes una cuenta pequeña la cual no puedes vivir de esos dividendos, conecta tu DRIP y no lo toques hasta que llegues al retiro.

Fechas importantes:

Para saber si recibirás el dividendo o no, tienes que entender las siguientes fechas.

– Fecha de Declaración: es el día cuando la junta de directores (consejo de administración) se sientan y deciden anunciar la cantidad que cada inversionista recibirá por acción y la fecha ex-dividendo. Por favor, comprenda que esta fecha es solo un anuncio de lo que sucederá. Aun no tienes derecho a recibir el dividendo.

Por ejemplo, el periódico local tiene una página anunciando que regalarán juguetes a los niños presentes el sábado. Al igual que el niño debe estar presente el sábado para recibir su juguete, usted tiene que estar invertido en la empresa el día que se anuncie para recibir su dividendo.

– Fecha Ex-Dividendo: esta es la fecha más importante a parte de la fecha de pago. Para recibir el dividendo, debe poseer acciones ANTES de esta fecha. Por tanto, y repito, quien desee recibir el dividendo debe comprar sus acciones ANTES de esta fecha. Este es el primer día que las acciones comienzan a cotizar sin derecho al dividendo. Cada día que el mercado abre, las acciones suben y bajan en precio, pero esta fecha es la que separa la línea entre sí recibes el dividendo o no.

Por ejemplo:

Los directores de Apple (AAPL) anunciaron el 28 Octubre 2021 que pagarían un dividendo de $0.22 por acción. La fecha ex-dividendo fue el 5 Noviembre 2021, pagadero el 11 Noviembre 2021.

Todo aquel que deseaba recibir este dividendo, debía comprar sus acciones ANTES del 5 Noviembre 2021. Si compraste el 5 de Noviembre, no recibirías nada ya que los directores anunciaron que este sería el día ex-dividendo. O sea, que no tendrían derecho al dividendo hasta un nuevo anuncio.

Con Fundrise puedes ser un propietario digital en cualquier lugar de los Estados Unidos, sin complicaciones.

– Fecha de Grabación (Record): es la fecha en la cual debes ser un accionista para recibir el dividendo. Usualmente es uno o dos días después de la fecha ex-dividendo. Nosotros no hacemos nada con esta fecha. No es importante para nosotros como lo es para los directores ya que esta es la lista de accionistas que aparecerán para recibir el dividendo.

– Fecha de pago: Es el día en el cual recibirás tu dinero. Esta fecha varía entre empresas. Puede ser desde 1 semana hasta un mes después de la fecha ex-dividendo. Asegúrate de verificar la información para que no se te pase tu día de paga.

Vamos a practicar:

Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO) anunció un dividendo de $0.15 por acción con fecha ex-dividendo de 4 Enero 2022 pagadero el 21 Enero 2022.

1. ¿Si tienes 100 acciones, cuanto recibirás en dividendo?

2. ¿Cuándo es el último día que puedes comprar acciones y recibir dividendos?

3. ¿Cuándo recibirás tus $15?

Bank of America (BAC) a incrementado más de 200% en los últimos 5 años.

Resumen:

1. Recibirás $15 en dividendos. Multiplica la cantidad de acciones por la cantidad de la paga (100 acciones x 0.15 centavos en este ejemplo).

2. El 3 Enero 2022 es el último día que puedes comprar y recibir el dividendo.

3. Recibirás tu dividendo el 21 Enero 2022.

Es así de sencillo mis amigos. Si quieres verificar que empresas pagaran dividendos en un día especifico, visita la pagina de Nasdaq. Es el momento de poner este nuevo conocimiento a buen uso.

¿Nuevo Año y Estás Haciendo Esto Otra Vez?

December 30, 2021 by Road-to-wealth, posted in FINANCE / MONEY

El año nuevo se acerca rápidamente. Estará aquí en menos de 48 horas, y es esa época del año en la que todos comienzan a pensar en las resoluciones de Año Nuevo. ¿Ya hiciste las tuyas?

Al final del artículo, cuénteme en los comentarios qué planificas mejorar en el nuevo año. ¿Estás esperando tu mejor versión para 2022? Yo sí y compartiré algunos de mis resoluciones con todos ustedes.

Las resoluciones más comunes son hacer más ejercicio y comer de manera más saludable. Un porcentaje de ustedes también está buscando comenzar a invertir. Mejorar sus finanzas es una excelente meta para usted y su nuevo y mejorado “YO” en 2022.

¿Está deseando concentrarse en sus metas de inversión y mejorar su vida y la de su familia? Es posible y lo sabes. Estás cansado de ver como muchas otras personas promedio lo hacen todo el tiempo verdad. Te entiendo.

Entonces, te pregunto nuevamente, ¿estás preparado para hacer el esfuerzo necesario y CONVERTIRTE en inversionista? Sabes que no sucede por sí solo.

PepsiCo (PEP) consistentemente subiendo de precio en el 2021.

He mencionado esto antes, pero como recordatorio, todos los inversores comienzan precisamente en el mismo lugar, sin conocimientos ni experiencia. Algunos tienen la suerte de nacer en una familia con experiencia financiera, que se transmite a una edad temprana. Sin embargo, eso no cambia el hecho de que todavía tienen que aprender y poner piel en el juego para ganar esa experiencia. Otros, como nosotros, tenemos que pulir ese conocimiento. Como resultado, sacrificamos innumerables horas, tiempo en familia, momentos de diversión y muchas otras cosas. Sin embargo, una vez que encontramos nuestro nuevo conocimiento, lo más importante es que no hay nada de qué preocuparse una vez que enseñe a sus familiares y amigos qué hacer y cuándo hacerlo. Hay una estrategia para la locura.

Algunos años se convierten en una línea divisoria en nuestras vidas: la vida antes y después de un evento. A menudo escuchas lo negativo, pero hay eventos y años positivos. ¡Puedes hacer del 2022 tu año!

Para mí, Covid en 2020 fue ese año. ¿¡Qué!? Joey, Covid todavía está fastidiando con todos mis planes, y estamos en 2021. Claro, los mío también. Pero fue durante ese cierre en 2020, que pude analizar todos mis sistemas de inversiones y averiguar cuáles funcionaban y cuáles no. Con algunos ajustes, me dirigí al 2021 con toda su fuerza. Tengo que decir; ha sido el mejor y más rentable año para mí, mi familia y mis amigos. Sí, ellos copian mis transacciones bajo su propio riesgo y pronto tu podrás hacerlo. Sigue leyendo; entenderás.

Quiero compartir algunas cosas importantes que aprendí este año junto con mis resoluciones para 2022.

1. Paciencia: a medida que el mundo atraviesa momentos difíciles y cambia constantemente, necesitamos más paciencia de la que nunca antes habíamos necesitado. Las cosas nunca volverán a ser iguales, y tenemos que adaptarnos y mejorar. Eso también requerirá paciencia; no nos adaptaremos y cambiaremos en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

2. Simplemente desconéctate: mientras el mundo se apagaba, me tomé ese tiempo y leí libros, analicé mis estrategias y, lo más importante, me acerqué a mi familia. No importa cuál sea su trabajo y cuán importante crea que es; una vez que te hayas ido, te reemplazarán. Usted es un activo para ellos, pero pueden encontrar otro activo. Tu familia no lo hará. No pueden; solo hay un tú. Eres único. Así que esté presente y preste atención a lo que es importante. Aprenda a desconectarse por ellos.

3. Vida, Inversión y Suerte – puedes hacer el trabajo, leer, estudiar, entrenar, trabajar, prepararte en general. Sin embargo, no se garantiza un resultado positivo. ¡Nunca! A veces ganarás y a veces perderás. Comprenda eso y su vida será menos estresante.

4. Sea una Grúa de remolque: nadie puede ser un campeón a menos que practique un deporte individual como el golf, boxeo, o el tenis. Aún así tienen entrenadores y un equipo. No tienes que hacerlo solo, ni en la vida ni invirtiendo. Mejorarse a sí mismo es solo el 50% del proceso. Una vez que esté donde quiere estar, o al menos cerca de, asegúrese de ser una grúa y levante a los demás. No puede escanear todo el mercado por sí mismo o cubrir todas las estrategias, pero puede tener un equipo que trabaje en conjunto. No importa si son familiares, amigos o personas que conoces en Internet. Si remamos todos en la misma dirección, llegaremos a donde queremos estar. Esa es una mentalidad de campeón.

5. Tiempo de calidad: aunque va de la mano con el punto 2 de desconectarse, el hecho de que se desconecte no significa que esté creando o pasando tiempo de calidad con sus seres queridos. Sentarse ahí mirándolos con el rostro pálido no cuenta como tiempo de calidad. En su lugar, tenga “citas” con sus hijos y su cónyuge. Tómese días para ir a sus lugares favoritos, así como también para ir a los suyos. Recuerda tener un balance. De esa forma, todos estarán felices mientras crean recuerdos de por vida; juntos.

Facebook (FB), conocido ahora como Meta ha visto ganancias de aproximadamente 200% en los últimos 5 años.

Mis resoluciones de Año Nuevo son:

– Voy a volver a estar en muy buena condición física. ¡Sí, lo sé! Uno de los más comunes, pero me he descuidado un poco durante mucho tiempo. No hago dietas, estrictamente ejercicio. Puede que haga algunas apariciones en las redes sociales. Sin embargo, no hay promesas.

– Seré una Grúa y levantaré a otros. Planifico hacer eso iniciando un canal de YouTube. De hecho, dos canales. Se invita a personas de habla inglesa y española. Se me ha mencionado un millón de veces antes que la mayoría de mis lectores prefieren videos cortos en lugar de leer artículos. Bueno, tu deseo es mi comando. El nuevo año te servirá bien, y estoy trabajando en los entresijos de como aprender a editar. Escribiré sobre ello una vez que el canal esté funcionando.

– Agregaré 3 fuentes de ingresos pasivos. Además, anímate a hacer lo mismo. Podría ser con dividendos, mercadeo por afiliación, comercio electrónico o cualquier otra forma que prefiera. No importa. Tú eliges lo que te interesa hacer porque recuerda que al principio tomará tiempo y trabajo, y debes mantenerte firme en las buenas y en las malas.

– Haré mi vida más divertida viajando más, creando cosas nuevas que nunca me vi haciendo, ayudando a los demás y pasando conocimientos a miles de personas.

Quiero que sueñes EN GRANDE, como yo lo estoy haciendo ahora mismo. Doce meses parece mucho tiempo y muy poco tiempo a la misma vez. De cualquier manera, el 2022 vendrá y se irá. ¡Así que haz de este tu año y actúa!

De mi familia para los tuyos, ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

¡Ahora, comience su camino hacia la riqueza!

New Year and You Are Doing This Again?

December 30, 2021December 30, 2021 by Road-to-wealth, posted in FINANCE / MONEY

The New Year is fast approaching. It will be here in less than 48 hours, and it’s that time of the year where everyone starts thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Are you there yet?

At the end of the article, go ahead and tell me in the comments below what you plan on improving in the new year. Are you looking forward to a better you in 2022? I am and will be sharing some of my resolutions with you all.

The most common goals are working out more and eating healthier. A percentage of you are also looking to start investing. Improving your finances is an excellent goal for a new and improved you in 2022.

Are you looking forward to focusing on your investing goals and improving your life and your family’s life? It’s possible, and you know it. And you see, many other average people do it all the time.

So, I ask you again, are you prepared to do the work to BECOME an investor? You know it doesn’t happen by itself.

Pepsico (PEP) moving up and steady in 2021.

I have mentioned this before, but as a reminder, all investors begin precisely at the same place, with no knowledge and no experience. Some are lucky to be born in a family with financial expertise, which is passed down at an early age. However, that doesn’t change that they still have to learn and put skin in the game to gain that experience. Others, like us, have to grind out that knowledge. As a result, we sacrifice countless hours, family time, fun times, and many other things. However, once we find our new knowledge, the most important thing is there is nothing to worry about once you teach family and friends what to do and when to do it. There is a strategy to the madness.

Some years become a dividing line in our lives—the life before and after a specific event. You often hear the negative, but there are positive events and years. You can make 2022 your year!

For me, Covid in 2020 was that year. What!? Joey, covid is still messing with all of my plans, and it’s 2021. Sure, mine too. But it was during that lockdown in 2020, I was able to analyze all of my trading systems and figure out which ones worked and the ones that didn’t. With a few tweaks, I headed to 2021 with full force. I have to say; it has been the best and most profitable year for me, my family, and friends have ever had. Yes, they copy my trades at their own risk, and you will be able to soon enough. Keep reading; you will understand.

I want to share a few important things I learned in conjunction with my resolutions for 2022.

1. Patience – as the world goes through rough patches and keeps constantly changing, we need more patience than we have ever needed before. Things will never be the same, and we have to adapt and improve ourselves. That will also take patience; we won’t adapt and change in the blink of an eye.

2. Just shut off – as the world was shutting down, I took that time away from everyone and read books, analyzed my strategies, and most importantly, got closer with my family. It doesn’t matter what your job is and how important you think you are; once you are gone, they will replace you. You are an asset to them, but they can find another asset. Your family won’t. They can’t; there is only one of you. So be present and pay attention to what is important. Learn to shut off for them.

3. Life, Investing and Luck – you can put in the work, reading, studying, training, working, preparing in general. However, a positive outcome is not guaranteed. Ever! You will win some, and you will lose some. Understand that, and your life will be less stressful.

4. Be a Crane – no one can be a champion unless they play a one-person sport like golf, boxing, or tennis. And they still have coaches and a team behind them. You don’t have to do it by yourself in life and investing, but improving yourself is only 50% of the process. Once you are where you want to be, or at least close to it, ensure to be a Crane and lift others. You can’t scan the whole market by yourself or cover all the strategies, but you can have a team that works together. It doesn’t matter if they are family, friends, or people you meet on the internet. If we all row in the same direction, we will get where we want to be. That’s a Champion mentality.

5. Quality time – although it goes in hand with point 2 to shut off, just because you shut off doesn’t mean you are creating or having quality time with your loved ones. Sitting there staring at them with a pale face doesn’t count as quality time. Instead, have “dates” with your kids and spouse. Take days to go to their favorite places, as well as take days to go to yours. Remember to have a balance. That way, everyone is happy while you create life memories; together.

Facebook (FB), newly known as Meta has seen gains of nearly 200% in the last 5 years.

My new year’s resolutions are:

– I’m going to get back in great physical shape. Yes, I know! One of the most common ones, but I have neglected myself a little bit for far too long. I don’t do diets, strictly exercise. I may do some social media appearances. No promises, though.

– I will be a Crane and lift others. I plan on doing that by starting a YouTube channel. As a matter of fact, two channels. English and Spanish-speaking individuals are all invited. It has been brought up to me a million times before that most of my readers prefer short videos rather than reading articles. Well, your wish is my command. The new year will serve you well, and I’m working on the ins and outs of it. I will write about it once the channel is up and running.

– I will add 3 passive income sources. Also, encourage you to do the same. It could be with dividends, affiliate marketing, e-commerce, or any other way you prefer. It doesn’t matter. You choose what you are interested in doing because remember that it will take time and work initially, and you need to stick through thick and thin.

– I will make my life more fun by traveling more, creating new things that I never saw myself doing, helping others, and paying it forward.

I want you to be dreaming BIG, just like I’m doing right now. Twelve months seems like such a long time and no time at all. Either way, 2022 will come and go. So make this your year and take ACTION!

From my family to yours, Happy New Year!
