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..

Had an insightful chat with Paul about Paraguay and its benefits for mavericks. I plan to visit next year and obtain PR in Paraguay to add to my collection of global bases.
Portfolio Performance:
My notes:
Oil continues to gyrate in the paper market which has imho presented an opportunity in the service type plays I had built a position in before they ran up. I’m a happy buyer now they’ve pulled back. One such play offers me $500 in premium for the month needing only $10K in collateral. I’m a happy man with this offering nearly 48% ann. yield + a chance to get a discounted entry on my favourite tanker play.
I continue to use the roll function in the options chains to effectively lower my entry and continue to be paid nice yields to wait until the current spot price for the commodity settles. I find this also reduces a lot of the psychological anxiety from which many investors suffer.
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.
