I spent a lot of time and money chasing complicated strategies and following people I thought were making money in the stock market. Turns out most of them were just making money selling the strategy.
I’ve heard from almost everyone how the stock market is a great place to lose money… I know it can be, but I also know if you keep it simple it’s the most passive income stream there is.
Sometimes I think all the terminology and acronyms are designed to keep you out. Confused people buy courses. Confident people don’t need them and then they end up getting humbled by the market.
What actually works is simpler than the industry wants you to believe.
Think about real estate. Almost everyone can relate to it even if you’ve never owned property. You’ve rented. You know the building has value. You know the owner collects money every month.
Stocks work the same way. You’re buying ownership in a real business. You ask the same questions a good real estate investor asks. What am I buying? Is it quality? What’s my time horizon? How much capital can I deploy? How much time do I have to manage this asset?
Find good companies. Learn a simple strategy to generate income from them. For me that’s selling puts and covered calls. Build a system simple enough that you can’t screw it up.
Math and statistics. Same as real estate. That’s it.
The market doesn’t have to feel like gambling. It just has to feel familiar.
I’ll keep sharing my simple strategies and how I underwrite and watch companies. I know this can be simple and passive because I built this system for myself and for other busy professionals.
