If you’re new here, I share “buy-and-hold portfolios” that I believe can double in 3-5 years. You can see my Investment Scorecard here.
Results For Our Two Current Active Portfolios:
I had been hoping for a pull back prior to the elections, but the market has been quite resilient. This signals that the market is expecting a split government, that is, the House and Senate will not be swept.
We might still get one, but I ended up adding about 20% more exposure to Coffee Can 13 on Monday, so we’re now 93.5% invested:
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) at $128.84 (5%)
AMD Jan 2027 175 call (AMD270115C00175000) at $52.38 (2%)
Upstart Holdings (UPST) at $42.00 (5%)
Affirm Holdings (AFRM) at $39.21 (5%)
Semler Scientific (SMLR) at $25.33 (3%)

Revisiting Options Basics
Last week I wrote about an investment strategy I refer to as “Venture Capital in the Options Markets”.
The idea is pretty simple:
Step 1: Identify catalysts that can create sharp price movements in a stock
Tesla Robotaxi event tomorrow is an example, and will likely impact Tesla’s share price sharply in the near term.
Step 2: Use options to construct highly asymmetric bets
I believe this approach, although difficult, can generate a power law returns profile if executed effectively.
But…in order to apply options to create asymmetric bets, it is important to first understand how options work.
Most content that I’ve consumed about options theory is dry, verbose, convoluted, and filled with unnecessary information.
So I am writing a short options guide book. I’m thinking it will start off with Option Basics, followed by some practical ways in which to apply options theory.
So I’ve created a few short podcasts (with the help of AI) based on my option guide-book. The first one is on Options 101: The Basics. Please give it a listen (see above)…
Let me know whether you enjoyed this format.
Thanks, and Happy Investing!
