A Note From Publisher Stephen Prior: I’ve known Karim for years. He doesn’t get worked up easily.

So when he told me this is the setup he’s been waiting 46 years for… I paid attention.

Iran’s collapsing. Gold just hit $5,600. And Karim found a way to acquire the world’s best gold assets at a fraction of the cost.

On April 29 at 2 p.m. ET, he’s revealing the full strategy live. Seats are limited.

Don’t miss this.

Here’s a hard truth…

Most investors are putting themselves on the wrong side of the market.

Not because they aren’t trying and not because they lack access to information.

It’s because they are playing a game where the probabilities are working against them from the start.

Karim Rahemtulla has been on a mission to change that. I had him join me on MTA Live this week for a deep dive on one of his favorite strategies: put selling.

If you missed it, here is the replay.

Watch the Full Session Here

Retail investors have been conditioned to think options are a speculation tool meant to make a quick buck.

They chase leverage, upside, and quick wins, but in doing so they step into trades where time decay and probability are working against them from the moment they get in.

The market does not even need to move against them for them to lose. Time alone can do the job.

That’s how it’s possible that roughly 80% of options contracts expire worthless. It’s how the system is designed.

That means the majority of option buyers lose money. At the same time, the sellers of those worthless options collect what the buyers lose.

Guess who the sellers are?

Wall Street and professional traders.

Put selling flips the equation.

It is a better way to approach the options market and it does not require complex modeling or aggressive risk taking.

You sell a put option on a stock you want to own at a lower price. Instead of paying premium, you collect it. You get paid to wait for the market to come to you.

If the stock stays above that level, you keep the premium. If it drops below, you buy the shares at the price you already decided you were comfortable with.

It really is that simple.

This one strategy puts you in that 80% category that most people think is reserved for market makers. You know, the traders everyone thinks are ripping off investors like you and me. They are not. They just know which side of the market pays them.

When markets see uncertainty, option prices rise because fear gets priced in. If that fear inflates premiums beyond what the actual risk warrants, it creates a good opportunity to sell puts.

The mistake most traders make is selling puts too close to the current price just to capture the highest premium. That extra income isn’t worth it – it eliminates your safety buffer and makes a losing outcome far more likely.

The right approach is more disciplined…

You identify the price where you actually want to own the stock first. The premium available at that level comes second.

That one adjustment shifts the entire mindset from income chasing to strategic positioning. It’s what separates a controlled setup from a risky trade.

There is also a behavioral edge here worth mentioning…

Investors love buying things on sale in every part of life. Cars, clothes, electronics.

But when stocks go on sale they hesitate or panic.

Volatility creates emotional decisions. Put selling removes that problem by forcing discipline into your process before volatility has a chance to distort your thinking.

If the stock never reaches your price, you keep the premium. If it does, you buy it at a discount with a reduced cost basis.

Either outcome is acceptable. That’s key.

My Top Three Put-Sell Candidates

I’ve found three stocks that are all in established long-term bull trends, but recent volatility has created a disconnect between price and premium.

Elevated implied volatility is driving option pricing higher, which lets us collect solid premiums while targeting entry points well below current levels.

Cameco Corp. (CCJ) is trading at $129. I would love to own it at $95. Cameco benefits from the long-term bullish outlook on nuclear power as one of the largest uranium producers in the world.

Intel Corp. (INTC) is trading at $67. I would love to own it at $50. Intel’s next chapter is only in its beginning phase. The once dominant leader of the semiconductor industry has returned to a long-term bull trend, and the runway ahead does not look fully priced in yet.

Corning (GLW) is trading at $172. I would love to own it at $125. Corning is expanding its leadership from fiber optic communications into satellite components, which gives the long-term thesis real staying power.

Karim is going even deeper into the put-selling strategy in an upcoming free event from Monument Traders Alliance.
