Walk up to Jensen Huang & say: "I bought a 1-month call on $NVDA. Can you make the whole company worth more by then?"

He'd laugh at you. "One MONTH? Impossible."
Now ask him: "Can you do it in a year or two?"
"Absolutely."
Here's the part everyone misses... that's EXACTLY how CEOs get paid.
The board doesn't hand Jensen 30-day options & say "pump it by Friday." They give him 1, 2, 3 YEAR stock options... because that's how long it takes to actually grow a company.
So the most powerful, most informed people in the market are all positioned LONG duration...
& retail is out here buying weeklies.
I buy LEAP calls 1-2 years out & sell portfolio secured puts a year+ out.
Same timeline as the people who actually run the companies.
Align with the CEOs. Not the gamblers.
