Twelve Months of The Option Premium

A year ago this week, I sent the first issue of The Option Premium. Since then I have written every word, answered every subscriber email, and managed every trade alert across The Implied Perspective, The Income Foundation, and Wealth Without Shares, by myself. No team, no contractors, no affiliate deals, no paid advertising. No marketing period. Just the work, and the people who showed up to read it.

You are one of those people. That is why this email exists.

I told you when I started that I would not run sales and would not send marketing emails. I have held to both for a full year. I am breaking that pattern exactly once, today, to thank you for being here, and to fund the 2026 build I have been planning. Webinars, a structured PMCC course, video lessons, and a private community forum are all coming next year, and I want the people who joined early to come along for all of it without paying a dollar more.

So here is what I am offering, once.

Total access to all three services for $987 per year. The standard rate is $1,495. Your $987 is grandfathered for the life of your subscription, which means if I raise rates next year, or in three years, or in ten years, you will still pay $987. Every webinar, every course, every video, and every community feature I roll out in 2026 and beyond is included at no additional cost, for life.

To put that in context, the rest of this industry charges $3,000 to $5,000 a year, and often more, for materially less than what is in front of you right now.

What you actually get is hard to convey in a list, but I will try.

Every trade alert is written out in full. Not a one-line "sell the 30 delta put" with a ticker and a price, but the full thinking behind the position. Why the underlying, why the strike, why the expiration, why now. What the probability of profit looks like, what the risk profile is, where the breakeven sits, and what I will do if the trade moves against me before it works. Every opening alert has a defined plan for every outcome. Every closing alert explains the math behind the exit, including the trades that lose money. Especially those.

Each service also delivers its own curated weekly watchlist, built from the work I do every week to find the best probability-based setups across the market. The Implied Perspective publishes an IV Rank leaderboard and Premium Selling Scorecard, ranking the underlyings where the volatility risk premium is most attractive for credit spreads, iron condors, and VIX hedges. The Income Foundation publishes the Wheel watchlist, screened for the cash-secured put and covered call setups with the strongest probability profile for income generation. Wealth Without Shares publishes the PMCC watchlist, sorted by the underlyings best suited for Poor Man's Covered Calls across the All-Weather, Small Dogs, and Growth allocations.

The watchlists are not just lists. Each one comes with the context for why those underlyings made it through the screen, what to look for when you evaluate them, and how they fit the strategy. They are designed to give you a continuous source of high-quality ideas between trade alerts, so you are never sitting on cash wondering where to look next.

Underneath the alerts and the watchlists is a year of educational work: the deeper technical writing, research and strategy reports on Greeks, volatility, LEAPS, premium selling, beta-weighted delta, and the rest of the machinery professional traders actually use. All of it is in the archive. All of it is included.

And here is what I think is the part that does not show up on a feature list. I write every word myself. There is no content team, no ghostwriters, no rotating cast of contributors. This is not a direct marketing firm. The Option Premium is simply me. A passionate, professional options trader, 24+ years in. When you reply to an email, I read it and respond, usually within a day. When you ask a question about a trade, you get an answer from the person who put the trade on. That is not a marketing claim. It is just how this works, and it has not changed in a year.

If you want to hear from subscribers rather than from me, the testimonials page on theoptionpremium.com is the place. I will not quote them here. They speak for themselves.

The offer closes Sunday, May 3rd at 11:59 PM Eastern. I am also capping it at the first 50 subscribers, whichever comes first, because I would rather have 50 engaged founding members than 500 names on a list.

If now is not the right time, that is genuinely fine. The free newsletter continues exactly as it has, and I will not send another email like this. Either way, thank you for being part of this first year. It has been a privilege.

Twelve months down. The work that comes next is the work I have been waiting to do.

Thank you!!!
