Portugal Views and Stock Picks You Can't Miss!
Greetings from beautiful Portugal! As I wrap up my visit to this stunning country, I wanted to share more than just scenic photos. While the architecture, ocean views, and historical landmarks are breathtaking, there's something else equally exciting I want to discuss: the stocks that should be on your radar right now. Whether you're on vacation or glued to your trading screen, these picks could bring strong cash flow potential to your portfolio.
Behind the Lens: Portugal Highlights
Portugal has quickly become one of my favorite travel destinations. The cities, the food, and the people make it a place you must visit. But even on vacation, I stay connected with the market, analyzing trends and screening for top-performing cash flow stocks. In fact, while exploring cobblestone streets and coastal views, I’ve kept my eye on key breakout stocks—and I’m here to share them with you.
The Cash Flow Machine Screen
Every week or so, I run a special screening for my Cash Flow Machine Mastermind group. It highlights high-quality stocks that meet strict income criteria and show strong technical setups. The U.S. market recently turned green, giving us the momentum we need. These stock picks are bubbling up right now with solid income potential.
Stock Picks You Shouldn’t Miss
- Broadcom (AVGO)
Broadcom is showing a strong breakout pattern. We see consistent earnings growth and a bullish chart setup. After a healthy pullback, it's climbing out of a cup formation. With eight to nine weeks of rising volume and earnings growing from $4 to $8 per share, it’s a fundamental and technical winner.
- Cloudflare (NET)
This stock is breaking out from a V-cup formation. While the breakout volume is a bit low, Cloudflare has rising earnings projections and strong potential. For those willing to take a little more risk, consider selling at-the-money or slightly out-of-the-money covered calls.
- Nvidia (NVDA)
NVDA is nearing its all-time high at $152. A few weeks ago, it gapped up with momentum and is now in a potential early entry zone. Not officially breaking out yet, but it's getting close. Selling out-of-the-money calls could let you capture both the juice (extrinsic value) and upside movement.
- Palantir (PLTR)
Palantir is already in breakout mode and showing strong weekly gains. It also offers high weekly premiums, sometimes up to 3%. The best time to buy was a few weeks ago, but it may still offer opportunities depending on your strategy.
- Celestica (CLS), Futu Holdings (FUTU), KLA Corporation (KLAC), and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) are all trending upward with promising setups. Some are nearing breakout levels, while others are already moving.
Strategy Spotlight: Covered Calls with Juice
Let’s say you own Nvidia and want to make additional income. Selling an eight-day call with a $146 strike can earn you $1.59 in juice per share. That’s $1,590 per week if you own 1,000 shares. And even if the stock doesn’t go up, you still keep the juice. This is how consistent cash flow is generated week after week.
For those with smaller portfolios, the principle is the same—just scaled down. Whether you have 500 shares or 50, the income can make a real impact. If the stock is moving upward and the market is green, consider using a 30-delta out-of-the-money option for more upside.
Real Talk: Covered Call Misconceptions
People often worry about getting assigned. But assignment isn’t a penalty—it’s the maximum profit you planned for. And with a rolling strategy, you can often avoid assignment altogether. Covered calls are not about predicting stock prices; they’re about managing probabilities and generating steady income.
Take Apple, for instance. Over the last two years, its stock price has remained relatively flat. But if you had been selling covered calls and collecting just 1% per week, you would have doubled your money with zero stock appreciation. That’s the power of the juice.
Key Takeaway
Sell calls on quality stocks when the market is green and the stock is strong. Use in-the-money calls when you want protection, and out-of-the-money calls when you want upside. The juice is your friend. Don’t let capital just sit there—put it to work every week.
Life-Improving Tips from a Covered Call Lifestyle
Covered call investing isn’t just a strategy—it’s a mindset shift. Here are actionable life-improving lessons inspired by Mark’s approach:
- Start With What You Have
Don’t wait for the “perfect” time or a million-dollar portfolio. Start with a stock you already own and build from there. - Trade Time for Freedom, Not Money
Selling covered calls turns your investments into employees that work for you while you focus on what truly matters—health, relationships, and experiences. - Stay Mechanical, Not Emotional
Following a plan removes emotion from investing. That discipline also translates into more calm, less stress, and smarter life decisions. - Focus on Income, Not Just Growth
Capital gains are nice—but predictable income gives you freedom. Treat your stocks like rental properties and collect your “rent” weekly. - Keep Learning, Keep Earning
Mark travels, teaches, and trades. His lifestyle proves that continuous learning creates confidence—and consistent cash flow. - Optimize for Simplicity
The best systems are the ones you can stick to. Covered calls are repeatable and understandable. Build your lifestyle around simplicity. - Design a Lifestyle You Don’t Need to Escape From
Covered call income allows flexibility. Want to spend a month in Portugal or Greece? With a laptop and discipline, it’s possible. - Measure What Matters
Forget the hype. Track your weekly “juice” (income). Over time, that’s what changes your life—not daily stock price swings.
FAQ
Q: What is the juice in options trading?
A: It’s the extrinsic (time) value you earn by selling options. It’s like weekly rent paid by gamblers who want the right to buy your shares.
Q: What if the stock goes down?
A: That’s where in-the-money covered calls provide protection. The premium you collect helps offset losses.
Q: What if I get assigned?
A: Assignment isn’t a bad thing. You hit your profit target. And you can always buy the stock back.
Q: Can I do this with a small account?
A: Yes. Start with lower-priced stocks or ETFs and scale up as your confidence grows.
