Retail investor: I pulled out. Market's way too volatile right now, too risky.


Me: What do you think happens to great companies when the market drops?
Retail investor: They... go down too?
Me: They go on SALE. Same elite businesses, lower price. & fear makes option premiums fat at the exact same time.
Retail investor: So a drop is actually... good for you?
Me: It's the best buying window of the year. While everyone panics, I'm selling portfolio secured puts & collecting fat premium & taking that to buy calls for bottom dollar cause nobody wants them.
Retail investor: So volatility isn't the risk I thought it was?
Me: Volatility isn't risk. Permanent loss is. A 40% drop on a great company isn't a risk, it's a sale.
Don't run from volatility & call sitting in cash "safe"...
A crash isn't your risk. It's your biggest sale of the year.
