Retail investor: I buy short dated calls. In & out, quick hits.


Me: Let me ask you something. If you told Jensen Huang "boost NVDA's share price in 30 days"... what's he say?
Retail investor: Probably that it's impossible that fast.
Me: Right. The CEO... the guy with the MOST control over the company... can't move it in a month. But give him 1-2 years? Very possible.
Retail investor: Okay...
Me: Now go look at how CEOs get paid. Stock options. 1, 2, 3+ YEAR durations. The board gives them TIME because that's what it takes.
Retail investor: ...& I'm out here buying 2-week calls.
Me: You're playing a timeline the smartest & most powerful people in the market refuse to play.
Trade on the CEO's timeline, not the gambler's. Long duration options... it's what the people who actually run these companies bet on.
NVDA-2.32%
