I’m in pain, man.

Kidney stones have been killing me lately, but even through this haze I can’t stop thinking about what’s happening with platinum right now.

So here’s the thing about platinum that nobody’s connecting.

I’m looking at platinum and it’s up like 25-30% in the last couple months and I think I know exactly why.

All this news that’s hammering the EV sector? Everything is hammering EVs right now.

But here’s what nobody’s seeing – what sector uses platinum? Internal combustion engines.

They use catalytic converters which are loaded with platinum and palladium.

So while everyone’s freaking out about their Tesla positions getting crushed, the market’s repricing platinum because internal combustion engines are going to stick around a lot longer than people thought.

The math on this is so clean it almost seems wrong.

I think I might be the only guy watching this connection right now.

Look, this platinum discovery got me thinking about next week’s trade.

A Trade Few Think About

I’m going to do another one of my deep in-the-money covered call trades, and since I’ve got your attention, let me explain exactly how this works because most people get this completely backwards.

When you do a deep ITM covered call, your objective is for the shares to get called away…

That’s the goal.

You buy 100 shares of stock at the current price – let’s say the stock is trading at $50. Most people would sell a call option at $55 or $60 because they think the stock’s going higher.

We do the opposite. We sell a call option at $45 – well below the current price.

Here’s why this works. We collect a premium immediately from selling that call option.

Let’s say we collect $8 per share in premium. So our cost basis becomes $42 ($50 stock minus $8 premium).

Now, if the stock stays flat at $50, our shares get called away at $45 and we make $3 per share profit because we collected $8 in premium ($8-$5 = $3)

We don’t care if it stays at $50 or trades higher. We make money and are collecting income. We only lose if it drops below our $42 cost basis. And we’re targeting stocks where that’s unlikely.

So that’s why we target 10-12% gains over six months with this strategy. Low risk, consistent returns.

Which is exactly what we’ve been doing in Catalyst Cash-Outs Live…

YOUR ACTION PLAN

This platinum thing is just getting started. Jay Powell said yesterday that if it wasn’t for tariffs, he would have already lowered rates. So rates are coming down – it’s just when, not if.

And this shift away from EVs is creating real demand for the metals that make traditional engines work.

I’m watching platinum exposure through industrial companies that actually use this stuff for manufacturing, not just the miners.

And next week we’re setting up that deep ITM covered call on a “staycation play” that benefits from expensive European travel.

This is just one of the many opportunities we uncover in Catalyst Cash-Outs Live.
