Transcript

I've been a money manager for over 30 years and I haven't bought a stock in over 10 years. I can always get better edge by buying the option optionality. Let me show you a good example. Client call me today wanted to buy Tesla about 300 shares. So essentially stocks at 352. He wanted to put 300 shares. I was able to invest 63,000 at 1.3 years, but give him if we look over here, I can give him leverage on the upside, essentially I can give him 171% of the upside, but only 50% of the downside. So if Tesla is down or up 30, I'm up 48, but if Tesla is down 30, I'm only down 15 and that's the magic of optionality. Why doesn't everybody do it?
