I’ve Been Working on Something…

by | Dec 6, 2024

You know those dramatic Hollywood movies where an ordinary person—like a teacher or a plumber—is secretly working on a game-changing project that no one knows about?

Well, that’s kind of how I’ve felt over the past couple of months while working on this project I’ve been calling Investing 2.0.

It wasn’t part of my original plan or pipeline to invent something new. In fact, I still have several core strategies I’m planning to share with you in the coming months so this was more of a distraction.

But I started tinkering with this new idea, and I just couldn’t stop. 😂

Now, to be clear, this isn’t just another trading strategy or a signal for one-off gains.

What I’m really trying to create is an entirely new framework for investing with three primary goals:

  1. Less capital-intensive
  2. Higher returns
  3. More risk control

If you’ve been investing for any length of time, you probably know that claiming “lower risk and higher returns” is easy. Lots of people say it.

But actually achieving that combination in real market conditions? That’s much, much harder.

The reasons this is so difficult to accomplish are complex, but we can sum them up with an old saying: “You gotta risk it for the biscuit.”

And, for the most part, that’s true.

If you want to target high returns, you generally have to take on more risk.

But over the last year, as I’ve gone deeper into the world of using options to twist risk and reward dynamics, I started to believe this approach could go beyond just trading signals. 

I felt strongly that we could apply it to an entire investing framework—and maybe even achieve that “holy grail” of less capital at risk while targeting higher returns.

Then I started piecing it all together. And when I got test results like this:

Well, you can imagine how excited I got.

Now, let me be clear: I don’t believe historical performance guarantees future results.

I’ll be the first to admit that future market conditions could look very different from the past decade. That’s just how investing works.

For example, buying and holding the S&P 500 has worked phenomenally well over the last decade. But if the S&P were to decline over the next decade, that strategy wouldn’t perform nearly as well.

Of course, I don’t expect that to happen.

As I’ve said before, the biggest advantage of the stock market is that it generally goes up over time.

What excites me about the Investing 2.0 methodology is that it not only capitalizes on those up moves but also performs remarkably well in turbulent markets.

You see, most strategies focus on avoiding downturns.

While there’s nothing wrong with that, an effective investing strategy should keep your capital deployed consistently so that, even after market drawdowns, you’re ready to benefit from the recovery. If you spend too much time “avoiding drawdown” you won’t have your capital deployed enough to significantly outperform the market.

That’s why I was incredibly encouraged to see this approach—using positions directly on SPY—generate nearly a 50% return on capital used, even while SPY itself was down about 20%.

Let me repeat that:

A bullish-based strategy, trading directly on the SPY asset, delivered dramatically positive returns while SPY itself was negative.

I don’t care who you are—that’s incredible.

And it’s one of the many reasons I decided to teach you this Investing 2.0 method.

It’s not a fancy trading strategy. It’s not based on AI. And it’s not about finding penny stocks that might double.

My goal is to flip traditional investing on its head and give people a real opportunity to achieve bigger returns using less capital.

Now, I know that’s a bold claim.

And I’m the last person to promise future results. But when you see how this strategy works and the testing results, I think you’ll be as excited as I am to put it to the test.

So, on Monday, I’m going to show everyone exactly how it works during a free class.

This will be an education-first class, where I’ll break down the nuts and bolts of what we’re doing and why it works.

I think everyone should attend.

Make sure you register here for the class on Monday at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time.

I’ll see you there!
