The Truth About My 400% Options Win (and Why Most Lose It All)
Kamilah Stevenson made a 425% gain on a SERV options trade, but explains why most traders lose big wins: they lack psychology and risk management. She walks through her framework: build a financial foundation first, allocate only a small portion to high-risk plays, use chart signals for entry and exit, set 8-10% stop-losses, and take partial profits.

What's going on? I drop where you from real quick. Where are you chiming in from? Let's get into this. Huge things, um, are ahead. And, um, this video is in response to a comment that was put in my, um, in my chats, in my comments. All right, what's going on? Um, first of all, first of all, I got a lot— I got a few things to address. This is gonna be good, y'all. Trust me, this is going to be absolutely life-changing. Um, so stick to the end because I'm also going to give you, uh, one of the plays that I just got in, uh, for 2027. Some of y'all been following my poet uh, option plays. I bought option plays in POET, and I bought actual stock in POET. I am up 150% or over 150% in my POET plays. Some people have been following me with it, but I got a play that did even better. It's called SERV, S-E-R-V, over 400%, um, Make sure I'm— 425.37% to be exact. All right, I want to talk about some things. Put, uh, where you from? What's going— what's going on, Joy? We just got out of a powerful coaching session, so I've done a lot of talking today. Hey, I clicked so quick. What's going on, Fabulous Fab? Hey, beautiful from Detroit. Dallas as well. I hope I'm saying that right. Wyoming, what's going on? Florida is in the house. New York is in the house. Um, some— I'm starting my portfolio this week. Let's do it, let's do it. Um, I wanna— I'm gonna address something that was said in my comment, uh, in my comments, right? And so I really, I really have to address this, and, and that's why I'm going to help you to live by a principle that is, is absolutely going to change your life forever. Okay, what's going on from Boston, Houston, Alabama? Y'all are in the house. Michigan, Chicago, my city, right? Y'all are in the house. What's going on, Alabama? Uh, again, California. Um, what's going on? All right, in my last video, let me make sure I can pull it up because I want to address something that was said. Go watch it if you haven't watched it. I talked about what I would do with $500 if I was getting into crypto, and I was very precise about that. Somebody said in the comments that putting money, um, or starting with Bitcoin and Ethereum was the worst advice ever. And you're never going to make any real money that way. And basically, how can anybody make money off this bull run? Um, yeah, they were just basically saying nobody can make money off the bull run with that, right? I'm going to tell you exactly what I told him. Now, just— I want you to know this. I am a— what's up, New Jersey in the house— I'm a psychology major, so everything I do and say includes psychology. If you get people burned by high-risk plays, they're gonna have to deal with the scars while also trying to start over again. And one thing I can tell you about people is they're going to look for someone to blame, okay? So I'm going to read what I, I pulled it— I just pulled it up over here in this screen. I told him most people aren't prepared to handle risk in a bull run. They don't understand cycles. Profit-taking or emotions, and that's exactly how they lose everything. My framework was never ever meant, um, to be about quick flips, okay? It's built for long-term growth and wealth preservation, not hype chasing. And y'all know that if y'all know that about me, starting with Bitcoin and Utility-based coins give a foundation that actually lasts. Once you understand how to manage profits and risk, then you can play with the higher risk assets. I am not trying to make people miss a bull run. I'm trying to make sure they survive it. That is the comment that I put, and I want to talk through that. Okay, uh, somebody said you are the best teacher on YouTube. Period. I'll take it. God is using you to help me. I will take it. Uh, North Carolina is in the house. Uh, they lied and don't know what they talking about, right? So context, everybody, context. But I'm going to talk about this. Share this video, hit that like button, hit the subscribe button if you have not. Um, and also, uh, I just want to say I'm not telling you what to buy, hold, or sell. Um, anything I say is for educational purposes only. I'm not your financial advisor. Go see your own financial advisor if you want to take some risk and invest, just know that investing carries risk and you can lose everything you have. Okay, so, um, yeah, I just wanted you to know what I respond— and I want to talk about that today because this is, this is going to matter for your entire life, right? People don't realize that risk management is what keeps you in the game, and you need to understand how to survive success, right? We're not trying to survive being broke. We trying to overcome that. But when it comes to success, you do have to survive, right? Because what kills most people isn't losing, it's winning and then not knowing what to do next, right? I, uh, just got into a Poet play, um, and I talked to y'all about it. I got in Poet play at $5 and something. Poet hit over $9 today, okay? And I locked in some profits, got some runners. And, um, I saw somebody in the comments who said, man, I, I took, um, I took my profits from, uh, POET, but I wish I stayed in longer. Let me tell y'all something, don't look back when you take profits. It don't matter, it's always another opportunity. Do not look back. Like, that, that's what makes people, like, you know, staying longer than they should. We all take profits along the way, or early, or whatever. Barely do people wind up getting it on top, okay? Learn how to take profits because you do not want to get greedy. I'm going to talk about that risk management, okay, so that y'all can understand what, what the game look like. Now, I am up over 400%, like I said, on my serve options, right? And I know that sounds great, but I want you to hear this very, very carefully. Okay, I'm looking at, um, how do I get to your coaching sessions? Um, the description is in— or the description— the link is in the description if you want access to the coaching classes. Listen, I want you to hear this. Listen, I want y'all to hear this, okay? The win is not the 150% poet. The win is not the 400% serve. It's not, it's not. The win is that I kept it. Y'all gotta hear this, and y'all gotta hear this very clear, because the moment you start thinking, I'm just gonna keep going, I'm just gonna— you already started losing, right? To the lady, like I said, who wish that she held on longer, it's always another opportunity. Every trader, every investor, every entrepreneur Hits this crossroad. Do I protect what I've built, or do I gamble for more? I'm going to help you to reprogram your mind. It's going to change your life forever, I'm telling you. Do I protect what I've built, or do I gamble for more? This is the wrestle of the human nature, and that's exactly what I'm going to talk about, is the psychology of risk. I am not here to tell you not to take risks. I'm here to show you how to take them without destroying yourself. I— when I was leaving the last, um, video, I saw a comment and somebody was, uh, from Cape Town, all the way from Cape Town. I love it. Um, somebody was saying, I believe that they lost millions of dollars, right? Because they was like, listen to what she's saying. Well, with the risk stuff, and they were saying that like they stayed in too long with the bull run or something like that. I learned from my lesson. Like, I caught it like when I was exiting out, I had captured it, and I was like, oh my goodness. But whoever it was said they lost a lot of money. Risk is not the problem, unawareness is. Most people are taking massive risks every single day, they just don't call it that. They spend like their income is guaranteed. They sleep 5 hours a night like their body or their brain is never going to break down. They live emotionally, not strategically. And then wonder why they lose everything they built. People do it all the time. So we gotta figure out why most people chase risk instead of managing it. Make sure you like and subscribe if you have not done that already. I want to speak to that person who is trying to— and, and look, that person may have an understanding of crypto and bull runs and cycles, and they may even have a hedge against their risk and all of that. And so now they're wondering, why am I communicating to people to take safer moves? Now, I did have a 10% allocation for risk, but y'all doing it backwards. If you don't have your foundation in place and emerge, you know, get rid of the high, um, uh, the, the high-interest credit card and the debt, um, and I don't want to say like I'm not saying loans, but debt, like, um, where you're in the negative, you know what I mean? Or where your interest rates are outpacing what you're adding to your stash. If you don't have an emergency fund, you don't have no ETFs, you don't have like, you know, your safe— you're doing it backwards. Like, it's some people who are like over-risked, and— but I'm telling you, I see people blow up their accounts every single day doing this. And I want to talk about why, why do most people lose after they win? The biggest misconception about risk is that people think taking a risk makes them brave. It doesn't. It makes you human. Everybody take risks, but most people do it unconsciously. They take emotional risks and they don't even realize they're doing it. You know what they do? They confuse adrenaline for confidence. And that's what I feel like I've seen in the, you know, in the comment. Somebody wanted the rush of the bull run, not the longevity of wealth. And I understand that if I tell people, oh, just like I got into the Poet call, you know what I'm saying? Like, okay, I say I get it. I'm gonna tell you another call I just got into in a little bit, um, and I got an option play all the way out to 2027, and I'll tell you why I got into it. But then you'll get other people that get into it, and then they, they see it come down and they're like, oh, and they don't have the patience to endure, and they don't have no stop losses, they're not managing their risk, you know what I mean? They're greedy. They're, they fear of missing out. The plane took off. Now you coming in on the bottom end, just like in at the end of the crypto cycle, people gonna start pushing the price up because they come. No, we've been in this 2 years ago. I'm trying to give you a safe route because, and I'll, and I'll talk about when to take risks, but the reality is, is that real investors understand something that's much deeper, and it's if you do not have a foundation, your wins will collapse under the weight of your excitement. Here's what I mean. When I took profits on POET, um, and I got— I had shares and options. You can always get back in. I do a lot of re-entering, okay? When I see— I don't— I like going off the RSI often. When I see, um, when I see something overbought or oversold, it kind of lets me know when to exit, when to enter, and stuff like that, right? So when I took some of the profits on POET, I wasn't scared. I was strategic. I had my runners, my stop-loss set, I have my re-entry plan, I have my hedge. Like, this is not playing scared, that's playing smart, and most people don't get that. So one of the plays I just entered is a 2027 Amazon leap. It wasn't a gamble, um, I had a plan, and my plan was if Amazon closes over $224 by end of day, I'm going into a leap. So I did it at the last minute, but I saw that the 30-minute was overbought. So instead of buying it on top, I waited for about an hour and a half for it to come back down, and I got in at the price that I knew I wanted to get in. And I knew it wasn't going to drop under $224. That's what I was waiting on. Now I'm not saying it's not going to be dips and stuff along the way. You can't— you, you can't know everything, right? But I have my own plan, and I do have my stop loss also. So I believe in fundamentals. I believe in long-term innovation, and I'm okay with holding some shares, some leaps if I have to, for years, right? Because I understand my time horizon. Things could change, right? I know how to scale in, I know how to scale out. That is what, uh, like a more mature risk looks like, right? It's not throwing money at opportunity, but it's structuring opportunity to protect your money because you got to protect it. That's how people blow their accounts up. So Let me be clear. If you don't have it to lose, if you don't have a foundation, if you don't have a plan to re-enter or to protect your capital, then what you're doing isn't taking a risk, it's taking a bet. And that's the difference. And when your emotions are part of your investment strategy, the market will take your money faster than you can say this time is different. No, no, this time is it look different. No, no, it ain't. It's not different. It's no, it's not different, right? You always think this is it, this is the time, and then you don't have your stop loss in place, and then boom, your stuff come crumbling down when you thought it was going to take off. Or it does take off and you like a little more, a little more, a little more. Okay, I see it every cycle. People win sometimes big early, 100%, 200%, 400%, just like I did. And then they lose it all because they never learn how to stop. There's some plays where it's like, Poet, I knew at $9 I'm taking profit. I don't care. And I'll leave a runner, but I'm taking a— I'll figure out, because right now it's looking oversold on the daily. I can see institutions are buying in. Big green candle, but it looks oversold. So I'm looking for a little— now sometimes it don't, sometimes it'll stay oversold forever. I don't— I can't tell you, but I am looking for a little pullback. And there's, there's conditionals, right? And I'll get back in, I'll put some more back in, but I still have my shares, but I also have stop losses. Okay, so you gotta understand that most people don't realize taking profits is not— hear me out— it's not missing the move. It's funding the next move. You take profits— whoever, whoever that was who took their profits on POET, you take the profits and then it could take off. It could— I don't care. I don't care. $9, I was taking my profits. I don't care if that thing went, shot up to $20 in one day, okay? I was taking my— and I'm not looking back. I'll figure out a re-entry, okay? I am taking profits to fund the next opportunity. That's the way I look at it. And if you can't secure a win, you're not an investor, you're a gambler who got lucky once or twice. Okay, so hear me out. Risk is beautiful when it's controlled, it's dangerous when it's emotional. And until you learn the difference, every gain you get is already a risk. You don't even know that. Okay, so I want to help you to understand what really makes risk dangerous. It's not the money, it's not the market, it's the mindset. I always say that. When people hear the word risk, they think of courage. They think, I'm bold, I'm daring, I'm going for it. Yeah, yeah. Most of the time what they're calling, uh, calling bold or courageous is actually emotional instability dressed up as confidence. They don't have a strategy, they don't have a plan. And I know most people don't, and that's why I don't want to tell you to get a risky play when you don't have foundation. You need utility crypto. Why you just don't go into crap coins and stuff that you know is going to make an ROI, but it could lose every— you could lose every dime you have? I explained that in the last video. It's not wise, right? No plan. They just want to get the feeling of doing something risky because it gives them like a temporary high. I've been there. It's not courage, it's chemistry, okay? Most of them are addicted. They're addicted to the dopamine hit of the unknown. That's why people like the casino, which is cool if you got a game plan. If you're going in, you're like, I'm only spending $200. If I lose this $200, that's it, right? You, you you have fun with it. But that dopamine hit, that's why most people don't manage risk. They chase it. It's not just trading, it's human nature. I want y'all to know this. I'm not talking about trading right now, I'm talking about life. People gamble. They gamble with their health, their relationships, their money because they want excitement, not accountability. Think about it. I said earlier, somebody miss sleep, they skipping sleep, living off of 5 hours a night. I work with dementia. I know what happens to long-term sleep deprivation. And people brag about it. I'm a grinder. I'm— no, sometimes it's just like self-neglect disguised as ambition. You borrowing energy from the future and you calling it hustle. It's the same thing financially. People live off credit cards, finance vacations, spend their income like it's permanent, and then they think it's confidence. No, that is delusion disguised as optimism, okay? I'm using, I'm using that same hokey pokey right now, like Mimi. Most people, like, you know, they tell themselves, I ain't afraid to take risks, but they already living a high-risk life. They just have not admitted it. And many people are just one layoff away from panic. I'm telling y'all, one diagnosis away from a breakdown, one market swing away from a collapse. And they think they playing it safe, but safety is not the absence of risk, it's the presence of preparation. And you have to understand this, and this is why smart people keep over-risking. And I said smart people for reasons. One, like I said, fear of missing out, FOMO. And it's, it's the disease of comparison. You see somebody post a screenshot, oh, it got a 10x gain, I got a 40% profit, I got 100% profit, I gotta— and you jump into it, you know what I'm saying? Like, you want to slow down. First of all, this is not an emotional roller coaster, right? And if, and if you see somebody, somebody, oh, you got 400% gain, then they think that they little 20% gain ain't nothing. It is. You played it safe. You didn't lose. You didn't blow, blow it up. You kept a hedge around your wins. That is more important, y'all. I'm telling you, stop chasing these big risky. It is better to be consistently a winner Then I'm going big or going home with your entire portfolio. I said in the last video, if you don't have crypto and you don't understand crypto, yes, put the majority of your money in something like Ethereum, right? You— and then a nice little portion in utility coins, coins that are utilized. Why is that not good advice? Right? Number 2, greed. It's not about wanting more, it's about believing more will fix what discipline will not or has not. Number 3, the reason why people— smart people— over-risk: validation. A lot of people aren't trading money, they're trading identity. They don't want profit, they want praise. They want to prove they're right, not be consistent. Small consistent things like, right, they want validation. Number 4, what number? I done lost count. Impatience. We do live in a microwave world. People want overnight freedom from habits they built over years. How you gonna get overnight freedom from habits you built for years? The truth is, anything built fast usually breaks faster. Okay, so when I talk about risk, I'm not trying to make you afraid of it. Risk is necessary, y'all. Risk is what moves you forward. But when it's unmanaged, when it's emotional, when it's ego-driven, it destroys what is supposed to grow. Real maturity isn't learning how to take bigger risks, it's learning when not to. Do you hear what I'm saying? And if this makes sense, please hit that like button. And if you ain't subscribed, go ahead and do so because I'm gonna talk about it, right? I'm going to talk about these type of issues even though, yes, I want to make money, yes, I want financial wealth, yes, I want to get my health right, yes, all of these things are necessary. But I'm telling you, the psychology of human beings are going to trap them up into self-sabotage. And this is why I keep saying risk is fine when you have foundation, when you have something to lose, something to hedge, something to fall back on. But risk becomes dangerous when you're risking what you cannot replace. Can you replace it? That's why I always say take profits, use stop losses, and that's why I never risk what I cannot rebuild. Because that's, that's not fear, that's wisdom, y'all. Pride always comes with a downfall. Yes, right. So, uh, before you ask yourself or call yourself, uh, you know, hey, you know, am I a risk taker? Before you call, are you taking risks from a place of confidence or from a place of chaos? Are you managing it or are you chasing it? That's what I want to know, y'all, right? So again, I have to address that because I get what they mean, but I'm, I'm not here to make people make quick money. As quick as you make it is as quick as you're gonna lose it, okay? Let me just explain something that people never learn. First of all, risk is not your— it's not your enemy, okay? I'm not here to say that. It's not your enemy. Risk is neutral. It's energy, it's movement, it's opportunity, unless you Don't know that. The problem isn't risk, it's the version of you that's showing up to take it. Let me repeat that. The problem isn't risk, it's the version of you that's showing up to take the risk. If you're grounded, if you're disciplined, if you're emotionally stable, then risk will build you. But if you're impulsive, reactive, and ego-driven, risk is going to break you. Okay, so I needed to share this with you because risk without reflection is recklessness. And until you learn how to manage your emotions, every win you have will eventually become a loss. I'm telling you, there's enough people out there that will tell you. And this is not about trading or crypto. I'm telling y'all, this is about life. Do y'all hear what I'm saying? Be careful. Be smart, be wise, be good stewards over your life, okay? Build wealth, not fast money, like Stephen says. I love that. Somebody says, I have diabetes, age 23, type 2 diabetes. Um, that is a problem with the liver. Type 1 is a problem with the pancreas, and you can reverse Um, again, everything I say is for educational purposes. I want to get in trouble for saying this, um, but there are tons of people who reverse their diabetes and their insulin resistance. Okay, yeah, yeah, slay it. It's the version of you showing up to take the risk. That's, that's where the real problem comes, and a lot of people don't understand that. Okay, so the, you know, the question really is, are you just— are you taking calculated risks or convenient ones? Because calculated risk means you've built the foundation first, and there needs to be a foundation. You've got savings, you got a plan, you got awareness, you got your risk management, your stop losses, all of that, right? Convenient risk is when you take chances out of pressure, not purpose, okay? Trying to make up for lost time, trying to prove something to people who, who ain't even watching. They ain't even watching. Like, do y'all understand that? Like, people in life, they trying to prove stuff to people. Nobody watching you. Like that. Seriously, you might as— you might as well get your identity established and stop trying to perform for people. I'm telling y'all, this is psychology. And so again, I, you know, I just want to say this because a lot of things that I say, I do always take into consideration psychology. Like, if somebody come to me and they're like, oh, you know, I want to lose weight, where should I start? Should I start in my diet? Should I start in my exercise? I have to gauge where that person is on a psychological level by asking, well, what's easiest for you? You know what I mean? Because you can will people— like, the thing is, you get people to understand the unknown by bridging the gap with the known. You bridge the gap with the known to the unknown. So first, let's— let's— we got to get you some quick wins under your belt. What's easiest for you? I don't want to tell you to do what's the hardest thing to do. Okay, and you will make it really hard for people when you tell them to go all in and risk everything, and then boom, everything blows up. And now again, they're trying to heal from the damage, and they're trying to heal from the hurt and the pain and, and all the setbacks that whatever this thing caused them. And now they gotta rebuild again with less than what they even started, you know what I mean? It's tough, it's tough. We cannot try to escape the fire and learn how do we exit this fire while we're in the fire, right? I'm trying to make sure that you guys are safe and that you do what makes sense, okay? It's all common sense, honestly. So I get what that person meant because they're like, man, that ain't gonna make you no real money, that ain't gonna make you no 800. And you know what, I am, I am in some plays that I believe will make, you know what I'm saying, 500, 1,000%, you know, I'm trying to 10x some stuff. But that's because I got other things in place. I would never start off like that. I would never— I don't— I'm not going all in on nothing, right? Like, put everything in one basket. That doesn't even make sense. So again, maybe he's coming from his filtering of what he has established, but you gotta understand people. And that is what I'm here for, is I'm here to help you to understand how to, you know, like how to be relatable. Like, no, slow consistent wins, you know. In option, in option plays, we're not trying to make $10,000 a day. Why? If you're trying to make $10,000 a day, you got to go all in on a super risky play. That's not where you start, okay? Now I'm not saying you shouldn't make it. And I'm, and I'm, I've made some, a nice amount of money. But honestly, to become consistent at making $100 a day is where you start profit. Matter of fact, start with this: become profitable as a trader. Become profitable because people are— sometimes you can go a whole year and not be profitable. You, you, you win and then you lose big, and then you win a little bit and then you lose more. So then you look at the end of the month and the end of 3 months, you're like Oh, I'm negative. First of all, let's learn how to become profitable, okay? Did you make a dollar extra this month? You know what I'm saying? So I'm just saying that to say it's very risky, and I don't want y'all— y'all got to get the mindset right. This is about mindset. I'm telling you, this is about mindset. So understand that, um, and that's the way I give the information. Now, do I talk about plays? Absolutely. But I don't want you to go jumping after— I'm not telling you what to buy, hold, or sell. Again, this is for information informational purposes only. If I tell you I'm in an Amazon, um, LEAD call, I'm telling you why. Because it stayed over $224 today. I'm not saying it can't pull back, um, I'm looking for it, you know, I'm looking at the charts. There's a lot when you look at the charts. I mean, there's, there's, there's all— I just love simple charting, looking at the MACD when it, you know, giving a buy signal when it crosses the zero line up, um, looking at being, you know, RSI being overbought. Oversold, looking at volume where institutions buy in, the demand, um, of the stock, you know, looking on the chart where the demand is, where the supply is, like simple stuff. And then also, of course, charting, you know, you got flags and you got the 3 green, um, candles that'll come that'll tell you something. You got the cup and handle. I mean, there's a lot of different, you know, things to consider. But I'm just saying, if you, if you jump into a play, you know, I don't want you to say that I, you know, I don't want to— like, where's your exit point? Do you, do you even have the game plan? You know what I'm saying? That's why buying stock is safer, right? Because you put your stop loss there and you just don't sell if you in the negative. You just kind of wait it out. And forget that, that don't work with everything, because if you're buying, you know, companies that are not profitable yet and stuff like that, that don't work. That's why I say go into strong positions, like with your Microsofts, your Nvidias, you know, your Apples. Go into strong— your, you know, Meta. Meta pull back a little bit. Like, go into more solid plays where you can walk away. You know, this is what I say: get into stocks, start off with stocks where if you went into a coma and you woke up 2 years later— I'm not, you know, I don't want nobody going into no coma. I said, oh, come on, I don't want nobody going into a coma. But, and you could, you wake up and you'll be actually got some money, right? Don't, you know, don't go into a stock if you, you went into a coma, you wake up and all your money gone, right? Tesla, right? Good. You know what I'm saying? Safe plays. I have DCA on, uh, Microsoft. I just started it. Um, so that's— you got to have foundation, y'all. If you don't have that, don't do no risk plays. Now, I do like the risk of AI, but you know, there's AI bubble and stuff. But even within the AI, you still got your safer plays like Amazon, right? Nvidia. Right? You got your Tesla, you do have your safe— make sure you got— get the safe AIs first, you know. Please do that for me, okay? Get the safe stuff first. Get your VTIs, your VOOs, get those first because they— those are ETFs that perform very well. And if one company just tanks,, you know what I mean? An ETF can replace, and you know what I mean? Do your safe plays first. Robinhood is doing very well, you know what I'm saying? Somebody said Robinhood and Nvidia options rolling. Yes. Hey George, what's going on? So, um, the buy and hold technique works very well in stocks. Yeah, that's why I'm like, hey, I had, I had the, I had the stocks and I got options. And also, um, Like, you don't have to get everything all at once, you know what I'm saying? Like, you don't have to— if you got options, you can build, you can, you can take some profits, you can scale in and scale out. That's the best way I can say it, you know what I'm saying? To be safer, don't just dump all your money all in one, you know what I mean? Scale in and scale out. The, the chart— there's, there's healthy pullbacks that happen from the chart. I still do have one play I will let you know probably next week that I am— that I believe is going to double. Um, and I'm looking at it right now and I don't want to get in because it is totally overbought on the day, on the 2-day. It is all the way overbought. And you know, sometimes, hey, you know, I think the SPY stay overbought for, man, for weeks. Um, stealth selling, you know what I mean? Like but I'm just— I'm gonna wait for this one to pull back a little bit. Um, I just, you know, I don't like chasing when it's overbought, you know. Sometimes it just— nah, I don't— I don't want to do that anyway. But I'll let you know, um, what this stock is that I'm getting into, because I have one more that I really, really want to get into, um, for the month of October. And— but one of them was Amazon, and I told y'all that a few videos ago. If you go back and look at it, I say, hey, I'm looking at Amazon, but, but I've been, you know, of course I've been buying Amazon stock for quite some time, and I've been buying this month, but I was looking into getting into an option play, okay, for Amazon, right? So, um, uh, keep pouring into us, I'm listening, period. Absolutely. Uh, Elon Musk about to use his own money to pump up Tesla. Oh, look at the video that I gave you guys some time ago. I said, what did I say? Amazon I said Tesla, and I think I said POET. Those were the 3 things I said I'm about to start putting some money in. Go back and look at it. I think those were the 3. Was it— was it— I know it was Amazon and Tesla. I can't— I get confused because I know I brought up POET, but I know for sure Amazon and Tesla I said I'm about to start, and I have been. I had— when I tell y'all I'm doing it, I'm doing it, okay? Like, I'm doing it. Right? So I've been putting money into Amazon and Tesla shares. Okay, um, just tapping in. M1 is good for fractional shares. Yeah, and you can use fractional shares, guys, too. So I did— somebody just said you did— POET also. So I think I said Amazon, Tesla, and POET. I'm like, I just want to give y'all 3 plays that I'm really, um, looking into it. I'm going to be doing my LEAPS on my newly opened Charles Schwab. No, I wouldn't suggest that. I'm not telling you what's about to sell. I'm not giving y'all advice, okay? Um, I would not personally use Charles Schwab brokerage account for option plays. I would use a separate account for that— a MooMoo, a Webull, a Robinhood. I would use a Charles Schwab for long— I personally, for long-term, um, uh, shares, for more long-term, like your more main long-term portfolio, which are ETFs and stuff like that. Vanguard, I mean, but I don't, I don't, you know, their, their app is, um, but yeah, uh, I would suggest, uh, I personally would suggest a different one. I would do that for myself. Again, everything I say is for educational purposes only. I'm not telling you what to buy, hold, or sell. This is for educational purposes. Go talk to your financial advisor about all of this financial stuff. This is just for educational purposes. Mumu seems like a good trading platform. It is, and it keeps you up to date. It has some very, um, it has some things that are, um, like trailing stop losses. And I mean, it's just— and it's the AI integration of the updates of stocks and, you know, the information and the news that they give you. Like, it really keeps you up to date. But I'm also liking Robinhood for this simple fact that they always come out with new stuff. Like, um, they may be coming out, I think, with where you can put stop losses in overnight. You know how, like, um, like 24-hour stop losses or something like that? You know, like you can't put a stop loss in unless it's trading hours, but I think Robinhood is doing something where they're going to allow for overnight stop losses or something like that. Um, don't, don't quote me, but I think they were talking about something like that. So, um, yeah, I earned $1,400. Listen, somebody said I earned $1,400 on POET. $7 call and $8 call expiration, 1/2. I had— I, I got a lot of money from POET as well. Like I just told y'all, I had over 100 and like 60% in POET, and I still have runners, and it's still running. Now again, it's a little oversold. I'm looking at it. But that runners are to, to go up. I have stop losses. I'm already up. There's no, there's no way I'll lose money. Once you make— this is my rule— usually if I'm up $50, I'm breaking even. I ain't no sense of me going, you know what I'm saying? I could get back in, especially if this thing is about to tank. I'm, I'm the, I'm the queen of exit and re-enter, okay? Because I'm not making green go red. I'm not. I would rather break even, you know. No, for what? And because you, you just never know. Now I'm not saying— there are some plays, don't get me wrong, where I have my stop loss at, you know, 8%, negative 8, 10%. I don't like going more than 10%, honestly. Um, and the only reason why I'm okay with that is if I'm looking at the charts and it's just really doing a healthy correction because maybe it's overbought. Okay, a healthy correction. But I'm, you know, I look at the day, I'm chart. I look at the week chart. I'm looking at the RSI. I'm looking at the MACD. I'm looking, you know what I'm saying? I'm looking at the news. So I will go down a little bit, but it's like, for me, I don't like to— I'd rather exit out, take my amount, and then re-enter. Okay, so, but once you, once you're in a really good play like POET, like, I'm, you know, when you're going up like 40, 80, 100%, and it takes that correct, you're not, you're not going to lose at that point. You, you're up too much. Now you do want to draw a line in the sand, like, okay, now POET, now I ain't gonna be up 100%, 160%, and then go down to, you know, 30%. I'm not doing that either, okay? So, but I don't mind a healthy correction if it's on an uptrend. But I have other targets for POET as well for my stock, but I still have a stop loss because you never know, you never know. This is not a Nvidia. Okay, so, um, looking through the, uh, do you think Webull will follow Hood? The only thing I personally don't like about, uh, Webull, and I was in a Webull option and I had to exit out because Webull, and, and it looked like it could be— there were some things to me that invalidated my option play. Um, I'm just not— I'm waiting to see if it's going to change directions. They keep diluting their shares. So what it kind of lets me know is, for me, like, Webull, like, their CEO, like, do they really believe in what they're doing? Because they keep diluting their shares, and I don't like that, you know what I'm saying? I need a CEO that's really like 100% confident. So I don't know, um, but I, I do— I did— I felt like, you know, Webull would go to 7. I was in a play where my, uh, take profit was around 17 to 17.50. Um, there's some invalidation, so I just got to see if Webull is going— if Bull is going to reverse. Um, you know, yeah, but I'm not in one now. I exited out. I was in some. So, uh, Capital Investment is a great broker as well. Check out LAC Trump, nice stack in the company. Okay, I will check that out. Would anyone move from— move to Chicago from Georgia? Not sure about that. I'm glad I caught this live. You made me feel good about my $20,000 decision I made, uh, whatever that is. I, I'm happy I made you feel glad about it. Hopefully it was a safe move and it was a foundation, a good play, a good solid play. Like, again, if y'all don't have y'all solid plays, there's no reason to be, uh, all investing in risky stuff. And you ain't got no Nvidia, you ain't got no Tesla, you ain't got no Apple, you ain't got no Amazon, you ain't got you know what I mean? No ETFs, you don't have no, you know, dividend— well, for dividends it just depends on your age too, you know. Some people who are older might prefer more dividends. I like growth companies because I'm younger, but I'm just saying, like, it makes no sense. You don't have a safe— you don't have an emergency fund. Like, it's backwards, y'all. All right, so anyway, I just wanted to share that. I hope that was of value. I'll continue on. And, you know, nothing against the person who said that. Maybe they're right for themselves. Themselves. But again, I have to play this safe, and I got to play this from mindset and, and programming and why— how your brains are wired in, in the psychology route. I'm a degree, uh, counselor, and I'm a psychology major, you know what I mean? So I, I studied the brain, you know, for decades, right? I, I worked with dementia and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and, you know what I mean, and under neurologists for over 15 years. I understand that all of this has to include the way you think, okay? Who is the person taking the risk is more important than the risk itself. And I want to leave you with that, and so that you can know that. Thank you so much, Steven says. I appreciate you. I want you guys to grow. I'm gonna continue to add value.

Um, Uh, POET will go back, wait for the pullback. Yeah, it's overbought if you look at the charts. Um, I don't know, you know, what the pullback looked like, but it's overbought. That's why I said I, I'm not, I'm not adding right now. I, I got out of 9. So wherever you took profits, great, it's a profit. Look for the next opportunity. Um, Marie said he thinks POET will pull back to $6, $6.50. Wait for a pullback. I always say wait for a pullback, y'all, straight up. Like the market is going to pull back, right? I only buy— I buy a lot on red days. I look through my portfolio, I say, hmm, what's down today? 5%. What's down today? You know, 7, 8%, 9%. I buy whatever's red. What's, what's down today?

I didn't have any at first, but Let me see real quick. Keep, keep telling me what y'all in. I feel like I got a little bit. I think I smart— I started, uh, maybe about a month ago. Shoot, I don't even remember. I'll be buying so much stuff. Um, what else? Lyft. AMD. Yes, AMD. Oh my goodness, y'all, I ain't even talk about that. Um, AMD, I, I woke up and, uh, I looked at my account, y'all, because I've been loading up on AMD for a while, man. I was a happy person. The, uh, was it yesterday when AMD jumped 20, 30%?

I do want to warn y'all before I leave, if you have stock in APLD, just know they have their earnings, I think tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken. See, that's another thing, Mumu. Mumu will tell you where their earnings are. I think so. I'm, I'm gonna put— I'm putting a stop loss because I don't know, y'all, what Target did last time, baby. Target dropped it like it was hot. I mean, a lot of people lost a lot of money on Target, um, for their quarterly earnings. But, um, APLD do have— I just— if you are invested in APLD, they have earnings tomorrow on the 9th. That's what I thought. So be careful, because if they don't— now, if they make it, you know, they might, you know, I don't know about the rumors, sell the news, but you know, it's always a gamble. Okay, so just in case, maybe you might want to put some stop losses if you got a lot of stock and you, you're up a lot, you know what I'm saying? You never know.

Don't be a consumer. Go all in on your investment and your wealth-building capabilities. I I promise you, you will thank yourself for doing that. All right, I love this community.

What, what you talking about? Like, y'all can go on TikTok and be doing all the dances and stuff and waste your time, you know what I mean? I'm not saying I don't, you know, watch that stuff too sometimes. It's just funny, right? I like a little scrolling from time to time. But let's get in here and learn, right? Let's put our energy, let's put our mind together, because we empower one another, right? We make each other feel good about, yeah, what I'm doing, what I'm wasting my money on, all this other stupid stuff, what kind of identity I'm trying to, you know, come to and prove to my— you know, no, we ain't doing that. It's time to get serious about wealth building, because I'm gonna— if I live like nobody now, I'm gonna live like nobody later, and I'm gonna be doing it, you know what I'm saying?

Again, I'm waiting on a pullback, so y'all not too late. I'm watching the charts. It's severely oversold in the day. So, but I ain't gonna tell y'all now. I'm gonna tell y'all next time, um, but it's gonna be a good play. Um, and, and, you know, again, I'm not telling you what's about to sell. I'm telling you what I'm doing.
