Gary LeBlanc’s Options Strategy (Explained Like a Teacher) 🧠 The Core Idea (This is EVERYTHING) Gary is NOT trying to: • Pick the perfect stock • Time the market perfectly • Get rich off one big move 👉 Gary is trying to: Make consistent income over and over again using time (options decay) ⸻ 🏦 Step 1: Own the Stock (Your “Inventory”) Think of stocks like real estate. If you own 100–3000 shares of a stock, that’s like owning: • A house • An apartment building 👉 Now instead of selling the house… You rent it out ⸻ 💰 Step 2: Sell Covered Calls (Collect Rent) This is Gary’s MAIN move. What it means: You sell someone the right to buy your stock at a higher price. Example: • You own BGC at $11.60 • You sell a $13 call 👉 Someone pays you money (premium) for that right ⸻ 🧾 Real Life Analogy: You say: “Hey, you can buy my house for $13 anytime this month… but you pay me $ first.” ✔ You keep the money no matter what ⸻ 🧠 Outcomes: ✅ Stock stays below $13 • You keep your shares • You keep the premium 👉 WIN ⸻ ✅ Stock goes above $13 • Your shares get sold at $13 • You still keep premium 👉 WIN (you made profit + income) ⸻ 🔁 Step 3: Repeat (THIS is the system) Gary does this: • Every week • Every month • Over and over 👉 This is called: Theta decay farming (time working for you) ⸻ 📉 Step 4: Sell Cash-Secured Puts (Buy on Sale) Now let’s say a stock drops… Gary doesn panic. He does THIS: He sells a PUT Example: • Stock at $11 • Gary sells a $10 put 👉 Someone pays him money for the chance to sell him shares at $10 ⸻ 🧾 Real Life Analogy: “If this house drops to $10, I’ll buy it—but you pay me upfront.” ⸻ Outcomes: ✅ Stock stays above $10 • Gary keeps the premium 👉 WIN ✅ Stock drops below $10 • Gary buys shares cheaper 👉 WIN (he wanted them anyway) ⸻ 🔄 Step 5: Create a “Money Machine Loop” This is the FULL Gary system: 1. Own shares 2. Sell covered calls (income) 3. If stock drops → sell puts 4. Get assigned more shares

📂 Added to: Adrian Sosebee – ACE Account (Schwab $10K Portfolio) You’re running a tight, capital-efficient covered + hedge structure (especially ISSC), but Fastly (FSLY) is clearly your biggest swing factor right now. Let’s break this down like a pro desk strategist. 🔥 FASTLY (FSLY) — THE MAIN PLAY 🧠 What’s REALLY happening - Institutional ownership is MASSIVE (75–85%) → smart money dominates this stock - Recent surge = AI + turnaround narrative → edge cloud + AI traffic driving growth - Stock is UP HUGE (100%+ in 2026) → momentum is real, but… - ⚠️ Some models say overvalued ~30–40% - ⚠️ Insider selling (CEO sold shares recently) → not a great short-term signal 👉 Translation (Gary-style): Institutions love it long-term… but short-term it’s a battlefield. 🎯 YOUR CURRENT POSITION (KEY ISSUE) - 100 shares @ ~$24.41 - Down ~23% overall - BUT… stock is showing strength again (+5.8% day move) 👉 You are NOT wrong — just early and slightly trapped in volatility 🧭 GAME PLAN: TOMORROW MORNING (CRITICAL) ✅ Scenario 1: FSLY OPENS STRONG (↑ above 25) Action: SELL COVERED CALL - Sell weekly call (Fri expiration) - Strike: $26–$27 👉 Why: - You collect premium - Reduce your cost basis immediately - If it runs → you exit profitably ❗ Scenario 2: FSLY FLAT / WEAK (24–25 range) Action: DO NOTHING (this is key discipline) 👉 Why: - This stock is momentum-driven - Selling calls too low = you cap your recovery 🚨 Scenario 3: FSLY DROPS (below 23.50) Action: DEFENSIVE HEDGE - Buy 1 short-term put (1–2 weeks out) at ~$23 strike 👉 Why: - Protects downside - You’re already exposed with shares 💣 HIGH-LEVEL STRATEGY (REST OF WEEK) 🎯 Your goal with FSLY: Turn it into an income machine while it stabilizes So: - Sell calls on spikes - Hedge on weakness - DO NOT panic sell (institutions are still in control) ⚡ ISSC (YOUR BEST STRUCTURE RIGHT NOW) You are doing something VERY smart:

📊 PORTFOLIO SNAPSHOT (APRIL 13 CLOSE) Daily P/L: +$4,700 Open P/L: -$4,324 👉 Translation in plain English: You just had a monster bounce day, but you’re still underwater overall. That means: You’re in a recovery phase, not a victory phase. 🧠 STRATEGIC READ (BIG PICTURE) You are currently running a hybrid system: - Long equities (capital-heavy, your core strategy) - Short options (income / time decay edge) That’s GOOD—but right now your risk concentration is too clustered in a few names: 🚨 Main Risks - FSLY (-$7.5K) → anchor dragging portfolio - ISSC (-$3.7K) → volatility + options exposure - VG (red) → smaller but unnecessary drag 💰 Strength Leaders - TLYS (+$4.3K) → huge win (you nailed timing) - ORLA (+$3.8K) → stable, doing exactly what you want - FIGS (recovering) → slow grinder - WT / NOK / LXU → small but clean gains 🔥 WHAT YOU DID RIGHT (IMPORTANT) 1. You stayed in the game long enough to catch the bounce 2. You diversified across sectors (retail, mining, tech, telecom) 3. You’re using time decay (your real edge) 👉 This is NOT a broken portfolio. This is a portfolio mid-recovery with leverage potential. ⚠️ WHAT NEEDS ADJUSTMENT 1. FSLY = DECISION TIME You’re down heavy, but price is now ~$24.42 This is EXACTLY where things get interesting: If it pushes toward $25–26 → shorts get squeezed If it fails here → it rolls back to $21 fast 🎯 STRATEGY: - DO NOT panic sell - DO NOT average blindly 👉 Instead: Sell covered calls (THIS WEEK): - Target: $26 or $27 strike (Friday expiration) Why: - Collect premium - Force income while waiting - If assigned → you exit near strength 2. ISSC = YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TRADE RIGHT NOW You already said: - Short call + short put structure (covered system) But right now: - Stock: ~$24.93 - You’re underwater on equity 🎯 STRATEGY: 👉 This is a classic “defend the position” moment Do this: - Roll your short calls DOWN (closer to 25 strike) - Keep puts working for premium
