Hey there Maverick.
Welcome to the new look of the publication ‘ The Maverick Life’.
Here I document my progress towards building a ‘Maverick Life’ for myself in Latin America which I will call home starting April 2024. This portfolio is focused on regular income generation using options on publicly traded stocks with a targeted annualised return of 27% PA. I share everything with the subscribers of this publication. If you’re interest in learning more see this free article with a full video presentation here.
Now, to business..
The Maverick Life Podcast
Tommy Deepwater is a handle you should be following on twitter. Exceptional analysis on offshore oil Co.s from the viewpoint of a credit analyst. I managed to get him on the show for his first ever podcast.
Portfolio Performance:
My notes:
The Fed has announced a pause in rate hikes and expects to cut rates 3x next year. This is super important for near-term market valuations:
Expect some serious vol over the next 18-24 months as traditionally once they start cutting, the market for financial assets actually suffers.
I expect inflation to return with a nasty punch. Hence why commodities and particularly energy stocks remain my main way of protecting myself.
Below you can find a chart of the dollar index, the DXY which has dropped below its 5 yr 200 day MA. I’ve mentioned in the past this is the catalyst for my brazilian stocks to gather momentum and so far STNE 0.00%↑ PAGS 0.00%↑ and $PBRA have done wonders in my portfolios.
The way I use options allows me to withdraw a regular income for lifestyle spending (if I need to). So while the overall rates of return have been impressive, the nimble and liquid nature of the portfolio is truly an ‘x’ factor. I find this a nice compliment to my longer-term deep value portfolios which simply sit in the background and compound. Additionally the more active options portfolio occupies my monkey mind so I’m less tempted to tamper with the long term wealth building.
Ok, here is where I drop the curtain and share in exact detail how I’m positioning for the weeks ahead including every single trade. You’ll discover how I: plan them, place them and weight them in the portfolio. Obviously this is for paying squad members only. If you’re interested in becoming a squad member and living ‘The Maverick Life’ then why not take it for a test drive with a free trial where you’ll instantly get access to all the material, past and present in the archives?
You’ll bear witness to my documentary of generating the income of the top 1% of society with only a modest amount of capital living the maverick life i.e living: Where I want, when I want, with whom I want, doing What I want.
In true Maverick spirit, let's embrace adventure and see what happens.
See you inside the squad.
Benjamin.
