Reader Q + quiz: pick A, B or C before the market decides for you.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Reader Q: “Phil, I’ve been sitting in cash since January because everything felt ‘too expensive.’ The S&P’s up 18% and I’m still on the bench-now what?”
Take a breath and take this two-second quiz:
A. Buy the top like a FOMO junkie
B. Keep hiding in cash and hate yourself later
C. Deploy a trade that gets paid even if price only wobbles sideways
Pencils down.
I was in the same paralysis club back in 1995-until Nick Leeson’s £827 million kamikaze blew the doors off Barings Bank. Markets dove, the press shrieked, and I froze harder than a possum in truck headlights.
Spoiler: the index clawed back every point within months, while my “safety” cash earned a blistering 0%. Lesson learned.
SPX Options = Cashflow Engine.
With this setup? It’s practically an ATM with a checklist.
These days I whip out the Kryptonite Spread-a lazy-sleep option credit spread that profits if the market merely fails to implode. No cape required.
Why it beats A & B:
| Mis-step | Pain | Kryptonite Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Buy the top | Get rug-pulled the first red day | You sell edge instead of buying hype |
| Stay in cash | Inflation gnaws at your stack | Collect premium every week while waiting |
| Overtrade | Death by commissions | One spread, set-and-forget |
Pop quiz recap: If you circled C, gold star. Everyone else, detention.
