Tesla closes at $407 per share (split adjusted)
The financial media is calling it the greatest stock run in recent history.
But here's what they didn't tell you...
If you had bought Tesla stock at the beginning of 2020 when it was trading around $32, you would have made just over 1,200%.
Not bad.
But if you had bought Tesla LEAPS instead...
You would have made 12,700%.
That's not a typo.
A $1,000 investment in Tesla LEAPS in early 2020 was worth $127,000 by the end of 2021.
While stock investors made 10x their money, LEAPS investors made 127x.
Same company. Same time period. Completely different results.
That's the power of asymmetric upside… when your potential gains are outsized compared to your potential losses.
You risk a little to make a lot.
And it’s exactly how the biggest fortunes are built.
Let me give you some real examples…
Take Nvidia in 2022.
When the stock was beaten down to $12 (again, split adjusted), you could have bought 2-year LEAPS calls for around $2,000.
Those options had a 2,250% return.
Here’s another one…
In March 2020, when everyone was panicking about COVID, you could have bought Amazon LEAPS calls for $30,000.
Six months later, those same calls were worth $380,000.
That’s a 1,267% return in half a year.
Now here’s what’s important to understand…
These weren’t lucky lottery tickets… these were calculated bets on quality companies during temporary setbacks.
Tesla was revolutionizing the auto industry.
Nvidia was positioned perfectly for the AI boom.
Amazon was going to dominate e-commerce post-COVID.
The writing was on the wall.
But most investors missed these opportunities because they were thinking about risk all wrong.
They saw Tesla at $30 and thought “What if it goes to zero?”
Instead of “What if it goes to $400?”
They focused on protecting their downside instead of maximizing their upside.
And that’s the difference between getting rich and staying in the messy middle.
Because here’s the truth about wealth building…
Part of getting rich is avoiding losses.
The other part is capturing asymmetric upside.
By finding situations where you can risk $1 to make $10.
Or $100.
Or in the case of those Tesla LEAPs… $127.
The problem is most people don’t know how to identify these opportunities.
Or they don’t understand how to structure the trades properly.
That’s why I’m hosting a free training this Thursday at 11AM ET where I’ll show you...
