About this episode

Best Options Strategy For Small Accounts and Beginners

In this episode, we'll revisit what I think is the best options strategy for small accounts and beginners. We're going replay Episode 2 of the podcast from March 2020 where I explained the idea of selling put credit spreads similar to how an insurance company would sell car insurance.

If you are a working professional and can’t watch the market all day but want to learn how you can implement the strategy discussed in this episode geared towards beginners and small accounts, head on over to the website and check out my SPX Income Masterclass where you’ll learn a mechanical strategy for trading weekly options that only requires you to check the market a couple times per week.
