Most trading gurus show you screenshots. I show you my actual brokerage statements. In this episode, I walk through my real trading results for the last 12 months across two accounts—including the good months, the bad months, and the most important lessons I learned.

12-Month Highlights (Account 1: ~$1.2M → ~$2M): ✅ April 2025: +6.6% ✅ May 2025: +14.8% ✅ June 2025: +11.2% ✅ March 2026 (market down 7-10%): We were down less than 1% ✅ April 2026: +8.9%

12-Month Highlights (Account 2: ~$320k → ~$690k): ✅ June 2025: +30% ✅ July 2025: +13.4% ✅ March 2026 (market down 7-8%): We were down only 2.8% ✅ April 2026: +16.4%

The Most Important Lessons for Beginners:

Targeting 2.5% per month is better than chasing 6%+ (more risk = more volatility) Buying AND selling options protects you during crashes Keeping cash in fixed income (earning 4.5%) makes your idle money work for you Hedging with puts reduces your downside WITHOUT giving up upside One member told me: "In 10 days of trading, I have already surpassed my 3-month $1,250 subscription fee in profits."

Money Talk with Rashad claims you can retire with just $170,000 by making $10,000 a month—or 70% per year—trading LEAPS options on SPY. In this honest beginner-friendly review, I break down why I believe this claim is close to 0% likely to be true.

Here's what you'll learn: ✅ What is a LEAPS option? (Explained simply for beginners) ✅ What is a Poor Man's Covered Call (PMCC)? (And why it often fails) ✅ Why selling covered calls against your LEAPS caps your upside AND leaves you with full downside risk ✅ Why every covered call ETF dramatically underperforms the market by 5-6% per year ✅ Why you can actually LOSE money on this strategy even when the market goes UP ✅ The simple math: If the S&P 500 averages 10-12% per year, how could anyone consistently make 70%?

The Real Problem With Rashad's Strategy:

He sells a 40-delta short call that gets challenged roughly 45-50% of the time When the short call goes in the money, his short delta exceeds his long delta—meaning you lose money as SPY goes UP He never shows you what to do when the trade goes wrong His real income likely comes from his paid community, not from trading Bottom Line: Based on my analysis, this strategy is likely to return 8-10% per year at best—not 70%. And a simple buy-and-hold index fund would outperform it with far less work and stress.

Real comments from viewers who noticed the same problems:

"The market averages more than 1.35% moves monthly—how do you compensate for the losses?" "This strategy has risk on both sides. I wouldn't follow it."

Why do 90% of traders fail? It's not because they pick bad stocks—it's because they ignore basic risk management rules. In this beginner-friendly episode, I teach you the 5 iron rules that professional traders follow to survive and thrive in the stock market.

Here's what you'll learn: ✅ Rule 1: The 50% Rule – Never use more than 50-60% of your account (always keep cash in reserve) ✅ Rule 2: The 20% Rule – Never put more than 20% of your money in one stock (diversify or die) ✅ Rule 3: The Duration Rule – Only sell options that expire in 7-21 days (avoid long-dated options—they're dangerous) ✅ Rule 4: The Roll Rule – Close or roll any options beyond 21 days (don't let old positions blow up your account) ✅ Rule 5: The War Chest Rule – Keep cash ready to buy when the market crashes (use SGOV or BOX to earn interest while you wait)

Bonus Tips:

The 75% profit rule: Close your trade early if it's up 75% fast (don't get greedy) Why SPX and XSP save you money on taxes (Section 1256 explained simply) How to use AI (like Claude or Gemini) to check if you're following these rules Real Example: In March 2026, I sold SPX puts and made $4,500 in premium. The next day, the market rallied and I was up 50%—but I didn't close it (and I should have). Learn from my mistake.

These rules won't guarantee profits, but they WILL keep you alive. And in trading, survival is everything.

Want to make consistent income trading options without staring at charts all day? In this beginner-friendly episode, I share a simple, rule-based system that tells you exactly when to trade—and when NOT to trade.

Here's what you'll learn: ✅ The VIX Rule: How to use the VIX (fear gauge) to know when options premiums are worth selling ✅ Red Light Rule: If VIX is below 20, don't trade much (premiums are too small) ✅ Green Light Rule: If VIX is above 20, increase your size (premiums are juicy) ✅ The 1 DTE Strategy: How to sell options that expire in 1 day to capture maximum profit ✅ The 50% Profit Rule: When to close your trade early and lock in gains (this is key!) ✅ Risk Management: Never use more than 10% of your account on daily trades

I also explain why SPX and XSP are better than SPY for this strategy (hint: better tax treatment in the U.S.).

This is NOT day trading. This is a stress-free, repeatable system that works when the VIX tells you the conditions are right. No guesswork. No six monitors. Just simple rules.

Real Example: In March 2026, when VIX spiked over 30, I sold SPX puts 20% out of the money and collected $4,500 in premium. The next day, the market rallied and I locked in a 50% profit in less than 24 hours.

How do you participate in NVIDIA's upside for $0 out of pocket? In this episode, I break down the 1-1-2 Call Spread strategy, also known as the "Free Ride" strategy. This is an institutional-grade options structure that lets you control premium stocks like NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Apple without tying up capital.

Here's how it works: ✅ Step 1: Buy a call debit spread (e.g., buy the $175 call, sell the $180 call) for ~$2. ✅ Step 2: Sell 2 short-dated naked puts below the current price (e.g., two $145 puts) to collect ~$2 in premium. ✅ Step 3: Net cost = $0. You now have free upside participation.

If the stock rallies, your call spread profits and your puts expire worthless. If the stock dips, you acquire shares at a discount. Both are designed outcomes.

I also cover critical risk management: why you must keep your puts short-dated (7-21 DTE), why you should never apply this to meme stocks, and how to manage position sizing. This is how professionals structure trades to maximize capital efficiency.

In this episode, I explain the ultimate capital efficiency hack for options traders: The "Double Dip" strategy. Most traders leave thousands of dollars in cash sitting idle as collateral, earning 0% interest. I show you how to fix that using Portfolio Margin.

I break down the difference between Regulation T (Reg T) and Portfolio Margin (PM). With Portfolio Margin, you can buy cash-equivalent ETFs like S-GOV or the BOX ETF (which has 1256 tax advantages) to earn a safe 4-5% yield. Because these assets are marginable at roughly 90%, you can pledge them as collateral to sell options without paying any margin interest.

This allows you to earn interest on your collateral plus your premium from selling options. I also discuss the account requirements (usually $125k+) and the risk management required to handle 6x leverage responsibly.

In this Money Talk with Rashad review, I analyze his claim that you can retire early from your 9-to-5 using stock options. Specifically, Rashad recommends selling short strangles on QQQ and leveraged ETFs like TQQQ. Is Money Talk with Rashad legit, or is he providing dangerous advice to beginners?

I break down the math behind his strategy. Selling options on leveraged ETFs (TQQQ) is extremely risky, especially for small accounts. I explain why selling strangles often leads to underperforming the market (SPY) and why his advice to "buy shares" when a call is challenged is a capital-inefficient way to manage a losing trade.

We also discuss the marketing tactics used by YouTube trading gurus, including the use of religion to build false trust with an audience. Before you try to generate passive income with this strategy, listen to this episode to understand the real risks.
