How I'm Collecting "Rent" from Bank of America
Remember all the stress and massive capital you'd need to start a rental property business?
Forget that! I stumbled upon the gloriousāyet suspiciously goofy-soundingāPoor Manās Covered Call (PMCC).
I know, it sounds like something unfortunate that happens at a cheap bowling alley, but itās actually a genius options strategy that lets you mimic owning 100 shares of a stable stockālike Warren Buffettās beloved BACāwithout needing to sell a kidney upfront.
Hereās how it works: I buy a super long-dated call option (a LEAP) that acts as my āhouse,ā and then I sell short-term calls against it, collecting weekly or biweekly ārent.ā

My only tenant is my digital broker, and my worst maintenance issue is a slow WiFi connection. Since starting this BAC play, the consistent income has been rolling in.
Sometimes the clog happens when the price doesn't go my way but it's all good because I can be my own plumber and fix the mess by rolling the short call out or up before it causes real damage.
Hereās the twist: I almost never tried this strategy at all.
Why?
Because I was held hostage by a money myth I didnāt even know I had.
I grew up believing that āoptions are dangerous ā only financial geniuses and Wall Street wolves should touch them.ā
That myth sat in my head rent-free for years, quietly blocking opportunities.
If this struck a nerve, donāt miss the spotlight article below ā it dives deeper into the money myths that secretly hold people back.
Once I ditched that outdated belief, the doors flew open.
Suddenly, I wasnāt just investing⦠I was collecting ārentā from Bank of America with zero leaky roofs, zero screaming tenants, and zero awkward text messages asking if I could āfix the water heater today.ā
So ask yourself:
Kick it out ā politely or aggressively, your choice ā and thatās when the real wealth-building begins.

š¬ GOLD
A thrilling exploration of goldās journey from ancient symbol of power to modern speculative assetāitās like an Indiana Jones adventure, but rooted in real historical greed, fraud, and financial drama.
šÆ The Big Idea: Gold's value isn't just because it's shiny; its history is packed with political chaos, murder, and financial mayhem, making it the ultimate emotional, speculative "casino-chip" in times of crisis.
š” Why It Matters: Understanding gold's enduring role as a global safe haven shows why it behaves differently than stocks and why central banks (and savvy investors) hoard it during economic uncertainty.
š Action Step: Consider adding a small percentage of physical gold (or gold ETFs) to your portfolio as "insurance" against currency devaluation and market panic.
š„ Hot Take: The movie proves that the "barbarous relic" is still the financial world's biggest divaāalways demanding attention and skyrocketing in price the moment the global economy has a bad hair day.
