Financial Freedom Road Trip #2: Options Trading: Financial Freedom, #179

About this ebook
On my way to Tucson, Arizona, all I could think about was trading options. Options trading can be quite lucrative—if you can control yourself.
I trade options at the lowest level on my brokerage's platform. I aim to keep it as simple as I can.
However, you can get in over your head quite quickly. You must exercise restraint and discipline when trading options.
My goal is to generate 10% returns on my invested capital per month; having $20,000 invested should generate $2,000.
That's not a bad haul for clicking a couple of buttons. There is much to learn with trading options, but it is well worth the process. Good Luck!

01 Financial Freedom Road Trip #2: Options Trading
This is my sixth time driving between San Diego, California, and Pensacola, Florida. And this will be my last time doing it as a US Marine.
Arriving in Tucson, Arizona, is always a welcome feeling. Again, I love the desert more than any other environment, and Tucson has that old-school Western vibe.
Welcome back to the Financial Freedom Road Trip Series (Part 1), where I drive across the US talking about passive income and retirement.
Debt Snowball vs. Debt Avalanche
What are options? As I drove from Yuma to Tucson, I kept thinking about the options I had trading this morning.
I find myself checking the stock market first thing in the morning and the afternoon after it closes. Options trading can be as active or passive as you like. But what are equity options?
Options are contracts between two parties stating an agreement if the stock reaches the strike price. Options are derivatives of their underlying stocks.
The Sharing Economy vs. Inflation
Call options give the buyer the option to buy 100 shares of a stock from the seller. For call options, the seller sets the strike price above the current stock price.
Put options give the buyer the option to sell 100 shares of a stock to the seller. For put options, the seller sets the strike price below the current stock price.
Learning and more learning. I know that the last two sentences may sound confusing, but keep reading. It took me two years to completely wrap my head around options trading.
I am glad I learned the ins and outs, although I still have much more to learn. If you love math, options trading will be a fun detour in your passive income journey.
