Ep83 - Macro Forces Affecting Your Investments: An Interview with Robert Savage of Savage Markets
Season 1 · Episode 83
Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 35:07
Dan sits down with Robert Savage of Savage Markets to explore the macro forces shaping today's investment landscape. With more than 40 years of experience in global markets, Robert brings a unique perspective from his career in foreign exchange, commodities, options, research and market strategy. He explains how options data can provide forward-looking information and why investors should pay attention to forces well beyond the individual stocks in their portfolios.
Dan and Robert discuss prediction markets, currency moves, the Japanese yen, interest rates, inflation, supply shocks and the possibility of stagflation. They also examine how these forces can filter down to individual stocks and Wheel trades. Robert explains why he expects greater dispersion between market winners and losers, why volatility could remain important and why materials and related industries stand out in a world increasingly focused on supply constraints.
Key Topics
Insights from Robert Savage's four decades of experience in global macro markets
Using options data as a forward-looking indicator of market expectations
How liquidity affects the usefulness of options market signals
The growing role of prediction markets in investment research
Using prediction markets to evaluate economic, political and earnings-related events
How moves in the Japanese yen can affect U.S. equities and options
The potential unwinding of global carry trades
How supply shocks are changing the inflation and interest-rate environment
Why stagflation could create greater volatility and stock market dispersion
Opportunities Robert sees in materials, mining and related industries
Key Takeaways
Macro forces can affect even a stock-focused investor. Currency movements, global capital flows, interest rates and supply-chain disruptions can ultimately influence individual equities and options positions.
Options provide valuable forward-looking information. Robert uses option markets to evaluate factors such as bullish or bearish skew, expected volatility and where the market may be anticipating future trouble.
Prediction markets are becoming another source of market intelligence. Event contracts can provide insight into expectations surrounding earnings, economic data, regulation and political developments that could eventually affect individual investments.
Currency markets can have a ripple effect across portfolios. Moves in the yen and dollar can affect Treasury markets, international investment flows, interest rates and ultimately the relative attractiveness of U.S. stocks.
The carry trade remains part of the global market picture. Changes in interest rates across Japan, Korea and other markets can alter the economics of global investment strategies and influence capital flows.
The economic environment has shifted from a demand problem to a supply problem. Robert argues that shortages and disruptions involving oil, copper, rare earth metals and other resources have created a fundamentally different inflationary environment.
Higher volatility may require Wheel traders to adjust their expectations. Stocks that historically moved only a few percentage points could experience larger swings as supply chains, capital flows and economic conditions become less predictable.
Nominal GDP is one macro indicator Robert watches closely. Strong nominal growth can support corporate profitability even in an inflationary environment, but the benefits won't necessarily be distributed evenly across companies.
Stock selection could become increasingly important. Greater dispersion means some companies and industries may thrive while others struggle, making individual company and sector analysis more valuable.
Materials stand out as an area to watch. Robert believes years of underinvestment combined with growing demand for critical resources could create opportunities in materials, mining and the companies supplying equipment to those industries.

AI can be a powerful research assistant for investors, but only if you know how to ask the right questions. In this episode, Dan shares the AI prompts he uses to research potential stock investments, analyze companies and dig deeper into fundamentals. From simple questions about what a company actually does to more advanced analysis of financial ratios, earnings trends and discounted cash flow, Dan demonstrates how AI can help investors conduct more thorough research.
Dan also explains one of the biggest dangers of relying on AI for investment research: inaccurate or outdated information. He shares how trial and error led him to refine his prompts to demand current financial data, calculations based on company financial statements and verification of the numbers. The goal isn't to let AI make investment decisions for you. It's to use it as a tool for gathering information, asking better questions and becoming a more informed investor.
Key Topics
Using AI as a research tool for finding stock investments
Simple prompts for understanding what a company actually does
Evaluating whether a company has a competitive moat
Analyzing stocks through the perspectives of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham
Researching P/E, price-to-book, price-to-cash-flow and other financial ratios
Comparing GAAP and non-GAAP earnings
Evaluating five-year earnings growth and identifying potential red flags
Analyzing changes in management guidance and earnings-call sentiment
Using AI to perform discounted cash flow analysis
Improving AI accuracy by requiring current data, verification and calculations
Key Takeaways
Start simple. Asking AI what a company actually does can reveal details about its business model, customers and revenue sources that aren't always obvious from its industry classification or stock symbol.
Use AI to explore different investment perspectives. Asking whether a company has a moat or how investors such as Warren Buffett or Benjamin Graham might evaluate it can uncover factors you may not have considered.
Don't blindly trust the numbers AI provides. Dan has encountered outdated financial data during his own research, making precision and verification critical when AI is being used for investment analysis.

Ep81 - Master Class on the Wheel
Season 1 · Episode 81
Tuesday, August 25, 2026 • Duration 28:40
As he does during his live weekly Wealth Builder Trade Room, Dan takes listeners inside his own IRA to demonstrate how he manages Wheel trades in real time. He walks through several positions and explains the thought process behind deciding whether to sell puts, write calls, roll an existing position, wait for a better opportunity or simply let the trade develop.
Using examples from his actual portfolio, Dan shows how the Wheel is less about finding one perfect trade and more about methodically managing a series of decisions. He covers assignment, net zero rolls, earnings volatility, technical analysis, option premium and the importance of knowing when the math no longer justifies a trade.
Key Topics
How Dan methodically reviews and manages Wheel positions in his IRA
What happens after assignment on a cash-secured put
Using net zero rolls to move strikes and manage positions
Managing deep in-the-money covered calls when a stock rallies
Why time value matters when selecting options to sell
Taking advantage of higher implied volatility around earnings
Using support, moving averages, RSI and PAS Bands to guide decisions
Why sideways stocks can be particularly attractive for the Wheel
Using option premium to offset negative stock scalps
How wishlist orders can create opportunities without forcing a trade
Key Takeaways
Treat the Wheel as a process, not a collection of isolated trades. Dan's approach is to work through positions methodically, starting with the broader market and then focusing on stocks that require attention, particularly as expiration approaches.
Assignment is simply another step in the Wheel. After being assigned shares from a cash-secured put, the next decision may be to sell a covered call, but timing and pricing still matter.
Rolling can give a position more room to work. Dan demonstrates how net zero rolls can be used to change strikes while continuing to manage the overall position.
Don't sell an option just for the sake of selling one. When managing an in-the-money covered call, Dan looks for enough remaining time value to justify the new option. If the economics aren't there, the trade doesn't make sense.

Ep80 - Two Guys Talking About the Wheel
Season 1 · Episode 80
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 • Duration 30:51
Dan sits down with Market Taker Mentoring head coach John Kmiecik for a candid conversation about the Wheel strategy, what they’re seeing from real traders, and why a strategy that can sometimes feel “boring” may be exactly what many investors need. John shares how students are incorporating the Wheel into their portfolios, including traders with smaller accounts, and why the strategy can provide a very different experience from the constant ups and downs of swing trading.
Dan and John also dig into what makes the Wheel work, from the volatility risk premium and changing implied volatility environments to earnings opportunities and the realities of assignment. They discuss the psychology of watching a stock blow through a put or call strike, why missing some upside doesn't necessarily mean a trade went wrong, and how adopting an investor's mindset can make it easier to focus on the long-term process instead of trying to achieve a perfect outcome on every trade.
Key Topics
How traders are using the Wheel in real-world portfolios
Why the Wheel can work for smaller accounts
The difference between the Wheel and higher-stress swing trading
Why “boring” investing can be a good thing
How the volatility risk premium helps drive the Wheel strategy
Whether the Wheel still makes sense when implied volatility is low
Active vs. passive approaches to selling option premium
Using the Wheel around earnings announcements
Why cash-secured puts have become one of Dan's favorite strategies
Managing the psychology of assignment and missed upside
Key Takeaways
Consistency can be more important than excitement. The Wheel may not deliver the immediate gratification of a successful swing trade, but its appeal comes from repeatedly executing a process and evaluating results over longer periods.
Low volatility doesn't automatically eliminate Wheel opportunities. Premium may be less attractive when implied volatility is low, but Dan and John argue that investors can still evaluate each opportunity based on the available return, technical setup and their individual objectives.
You should be comfortable owning the underlying stock. When starting with a cash-secured put, the possibility of assignment should be part of the plan not an unexpected consequence.

Ep79 - How I Find Wheel Trade Candidates
Season 1 · Episode 79
Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 32:04
Finding a great Wheel trade starts long before choosing a strike price or expiration. In this episode, Dan walks through his step-by-step process for finding candidates for covered calls and cash-secured puts. The process begins with a fundamental distinction: Are you evaluating a stock or ETF you already own or searching for a completely new opportunity? From there, whether you want to skate and collect premium or trade into or out of the stock determines which tools matter most.
Dan explains how he combines fundamental analysis with technical tools including support and resistance, RSI and his PAS Bands indicator. He also discusses where new investment ideas come from and why every idea still requires your own due diligence. The goal isn't simply to find stocks with attractive option premiums; it's to build a repeatable process for identifying candidates that fit your objective, valuation criteria and overall Wheel strategy.
Key Topics
Starting the candidate-selection process with stocks and ETFs you already own
Defining your skate vs. trade objective before choosing an option
Using horizontal resistance to select covered call strikes
Applying RSI to identify overbought and oversold opportunities
Using PAS Bands to help establish covered call and cash-secured put strikes
Evaluating long-term investments with fundamental analysis
Using P/E ratios, discounted cash flow and other valuation methods
Finding new Wheel candidates through research, scanners, AI, etc.
Using support levels when evaluating cash-secured put opportunities
Combining fundamentals and technical analysis based on the objective of the trade
Key Takeaways
Start with the objective. If you already own the stock, determine whether you're trying to collect premium and avoid assignment or intentionally trade out of the position.
Match the analysis to the trade. Long-term value opportunities generally call for fundamental analysis, while shorter-term skate opportunities rely more heavily on technical analysis.
Resistance matters for covered calls. Dan looks to position skate-objective covered call strikes at or above meaningful horizontal resistance.
Support matters for cash-secured puts. Strong support can help identify strike levels where historical buying pressure may improve the probability of skating.

Ep78 - The Metrics I Use on Wheel Trades and How They Work - Part 2
Season 1 · Episode 78
Tuesday, August 4, 2026 • Duration 23:09
In Part 2 of this series, Dan expands on the metrics every Wheel trader should understand by focusing on break-even calculations, cumulative discount effect, stock price basis and the often-overlooked role of interest rates. These metrics provide a more complete picture of long-term performance by tracking the combined impact of option premium, assignments, stock price movement and capital efficiency rather than evaluating each trade in isolation.
Dan also explains why different calculations require different stock price references, how cash and interest rates influence option pricing and trade selection, and why investors should evaluate Wheel trades as part of an ongoing business instead of a collection of unrelated positions. Together, these concepts help traders make more informed decisions while developing a consistent framework for measuring long-term success.
Key Topics
Understanding breakeven vs. tax cost basis
Calculating the cumulative discount effect
Tracking Wheel performance across multiple trade cycles
Why different metrics use different stock price references
Choosing the correct stock price basis for each calculation
How interest rates affect option pricing
The relationship between cash-secured puts and idle cash
Interest income as part of total Wheel returns
Using interest rates as an investment benchmark
Measuring Wheel trades as a long-term business
Key Takeaways
Breakeven calculations help measure how option premium reduces investment risk but should not be confused with tax cost basis.
The cumulative discount effect tracks the long-term impact of every premium collected, debit paid and stock assignment across an entire Wheel cycle.
Evaluating Wheel trades individually provides an incomplete picture; long-term results are best measured across multiple trades.
Different metrics require different stock price references depending on what the calculation is designed to measure.
Cash-secured puts should be evaluated using the strike price because it represents the capital committed to the trade.
Interest rates influence option pricing, put-call parity, early exercise decisions and overall trade evaluation.

Ep77 - The Metrics I Use on Wheel Trades and How They Work - Part 1
Season 1 · Episode 77
Tuesday, July 28, 2026 • Duration 29:15
Dan introduces the performance metrics he relies on to evaluate every Wheel trade. Rather than focusing on option premium alone, he explains how measuring returns correctly helps investors compare opportunities, improve decision-making and treat trading like a business. By understanding the numbers behind each trade, investors can benchmark their performance and make more informed choices over time.
Dan breaks down the calculations behind static return, annualized return, if-called return, skate return on cash and skate yield, explaining not only how they're calculated but why they matter. He also explores the psychological benefits of using objective metrics to overcome fear, avoid price anchoring and compare Wheel trades against any other investment opportunity.
Key Topics
Why every Wheel trader needs performance benchmarks
Calculating static return for covered calls
The importance of using time value instead of intrinsic value
Annualizing returns to compare investments objectively
Understanding the if-called return metric
Calculating skate return on cash for cash-secured puts
Why skate yield is one of the most powerful Wheel metrics
Comparing Wheel trades to stocks, bonds and other investments
Using metrics to overcome fear and price anchoring
Why objective data leads to better trading decisions
Key Takeaways
Measuring performance consistently is essential for improving as an investor and evaluating whether your trading outperforms alternative investments.
Static return provides a useful starting point for evaluating covered call income, but annualized returns allow meaningful comparisons across different trades and timeframes.
The if-called return helps investors understand the potential outcome when covered call shares are assigned.
Skate return on cash and skate yield offer a more accurate way to evaluate cash-secured put opportunities because they measure returns against the capital actually committed.
Objective metrics replace emotional decision-making with quantifiable risk and reward.
Annualizing returns makes it possible to compare Wheel trades with virtually any other investment opportunity.

Ep76 - Covered Call Case Study
Season 1 · Episode 76
Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 30:03
In this episode of Wealth Building With Options, Dan Passarelli walks through a real-world covered call case study using AT&T stock. Rather than focusing on theory, Dan explains the decision-making process behind managing a dividend-focused Wheel strategy—from entering the trade with cash-secured puts to determining when it's time to exit using covered calls.
If you've ever wondered when to sell a covered call, how to balance dividend income with option premium, or how to think like a professional options trader instead of chasing individual trades, this episode is for you.
In This Episode
Why dividend yield—not stock price—is the primary objective for many Wheel trades
How cash-secured puts can be used to acquire quality dividend stocks at attractive prices
When a covered call becomes the right tool to exit a position
The tradeoffs between in-the-money, at-the-money, and out-of-the-money covered calls
Why longer-dated options often make more sense on lower-priced dividend stocks
How Dan uses Good-Til-Cancelled (GTC) limit orders to improve covered call pricing
A practical way to estimate where the stock price needs to be before a higher-priced limit order is likely to fill
How to think about rolling covered calls when expiration approaches
Why trading in cycles helps remove emotion from individual trades
The philosophy behind being "right even when you're wrong" with the Wheel strategy
Key Takeaways
One of the biggest mistakes investors make is focusing on the current dividend yield after a stock appreciates. Dan explains why your yield is effectively locked in based on your purchase price and why rising stock prices can actually create opportunities to rotate into better income-producing investments.
This episode also dives into the practical realities of covered call execution, including commission costs, option liquidity, expiration selection, and why maximizing premium isn't always the same as maximizing returns.
Most importantly, Dan emphasizes that successful Wheel traders don't judge a trade by a single outcome. They manage positions as part of an ongoing process, continually collecting option premium while making decisions based on valuation, income opportunities, and long-term consistency.
Ep75 - How Our Students Trade the Wheel
Season 1 · Episode 75
Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 35:43
Dan welcomes Market Taker Mentoring Head Coach John Kmiecik for a behind-the-scenes discussion about how real investors are using the wheel strategy. Drawing from John's experience coaching hundreds of options traders, they explore the common habits, misconceptions and breakthroughs they see from beginners to advanced traders, along with the techniques that consistently lead to better results.
They also discuss why the wheel has become one of the most popular options strategies, the psychology behind cash-secured puts vs. covered calls, the importance of understanding synthetic positions and why trade management often sets successful wheel traders apart. They also share practical advice on strike selection, technical analysis, annualized returns and building confidence with a strategy that can fit investors of nearly any account size.
Key Topics
The psychology behind cash-secured puts vs. covered calls
Understanding synthetic positions and why they matter
How annualized returns change the way investors evaluate wheel trades
Keeping the wheel strategy simple without sacrificing results
The importance of technical analysis when selecting strikes
Why trade management is the most overlooked part of the wheel
Common mistakes newer wheel traders make and how to avoid them
Practical advice for investors with both small and large account sizes
Key Takeaways
The wheel is approachable for investors of all experience levels when built around a repeatable process.
Cash-secured puts and covered calls are synthetically equivalent, but many traders struggle with the psychological differences.
Annualizing returns provides a more meaningful way to compare option trades across different expirations.
Technical analysis can improve strike selection and trade timing.
Every trade should begin with a clear plan for entry, management and exit.

Ep74 - WWWD (What Would Warren [Buffett] Do?)
Season 1 · Episode 74
Tuesday, July 7, 2026 • Duration 36:31
Dan explores the trade objective approach to cash-secured puts by breaking down a real Adobe trade from his own account. Inspired by Warren Buffett's well-known use of cash-secured puts, Dan demonstrates how investors can use them strategically to acquire high-quality stocks at attractive prices or generate income while waiting for the right opportunity.
Throughout the episode, Dan shares every step of his decision-making process, from evaluating Adobe's valuation and technical support levels to selecting the ideal strike price and expiration. He also explains how cumulative option premium, rolling strategies and changing market conditions influence long-term results, giving listeners a practical framework they can apply to their own cash-secured put trades.
Key Topics
Warren Buffett's approach to selling cash-secured puts
Trade objective vs. skate objective wheel strategies
Evaluating Adobe using valuation metrics and technical analysis
Selecting strike prices and expirations based on trade objectives
Using implied volatility and avoiding earnings risk
Managing trades with good-till-canceled exit orders
Understanding cumulative discount effect and effective purchase price
Rolling cash-secured puts while maintaining assignment goals
Adjusting trade objectives as market opportunities evolve
A complete case study of a real Adobe cash-secured put trade
Key Takeaways
Selling cash-secured puts can be an effective alternative to placing limit orders when you want to buy quality stocks at lower prices.
Every trade should begin with a clearly defined objective before selecting strikes and expirations.
Combining valuation, technical analysis and implied volatility can improve stock selection and option pricing decisions.
Cumulative option premium can significantly reduce your effective purchase price over multiple wheel cycles.
Rolling trades should support your long-term objective, whether that's acquiring shares or continuing to collect premium.
Trade management should remain flexible as new opportunities emerge without abandoning the overall process.
Consistency comes from following a repeatable decision-making framework rather than focusing on the outcome of any single trade.

Ask AI to calculate financial ratios rather than simply retrieve them. Using the latest company financial statements and requiring the calculations to be shown makes it easier to understand where the numbers came from and identify potential errors.
Compare GAAP and non-GAAP earnings. A significant difference between the two can reveal something about a company's financial performance that deserves further investigation.
Look beyond a single quarter. Dan examines earnings growth over five years and treats multiple quarter-over-quarter declines as a reason to investigate more closely rather than an automatic deal breaker.
Management guidance matters. Comparing the tone and outlook of the latest earnings call with the previous quarter can provide insight into how management sees the company's future.
Discounted cash flow analysis can add another layer to valuation. AI can help calculate a potential share value based on future cash flows, growth assumptions and the company's cost of capital.
Tell AI to show its work. Seeing the calculations makes it easier to spot errors while also helping you understand how valuation methods and financial metrics work.
Use AI as a tool, not a substitute for due diligence. Dan's approach is essentially “trust but verify”: use AI to accelerate research and deepen your understanding while continuing to scrutinize the information it provides.

Higher implied volatility can create attractive premium opportunities. Dan's earnings-related put trade illustrates how elevated IV can produce substantially richer premium, but that additional potential return comes with additional risk.
Sideways stocks can provide an ideal environment for the Wheel. Repeatedly selling puts and calls can work particularly well when a stock remains within a range and time decay is allowed to do its job.
Not every Wheel trade will unfold perfectly. A stock can run through a call strike or create the possibility of a negative scalp, but accumulated option premium can help offset those less-than-ideal outcomes.
Sometimes waiting is the trade. When a stock becomes overextended or the setup isn't favorable, Dan is willing to give the position time rather than immediately adjusting it.
Wishlist orders can help investors stay disciplined. Instead of chasing premium, Dan places orders at strike prices and premiums he'd be happy to receive and lets the stock come to him.

The host and guests are not familiar with listeners’ specific situations. For trading information relevant to your specific needs, speak with a licensed broker or advisor.
Earnings can create richer option premiums, but they come with tradeoffs. Higher implied volatility around an earnings announcement can create opportunities, but investors still need to consider strike selection and whether they're willing to own the shares if assigned.
Assignment isn't necessarily failure. If a cash-secured put is assigned above the stock's current market price, Dan frames it similarly to buying a long-term investment with a limit order and then watching the stock subsequently decline.
Missing upside doesn't mean the covered call was a mistake. Stocks will occasionally move dramatically above a call strike. That's one possible outcome of a strategy designed to repeatedly collect option premium rather than capture every dollar of upside.
Think in terms of the overall process. Some individual trades will underperform expectations. The objective isn't perfection; it's building a repeatable approach that can produce attractive results across many trades and market environments.

RSI can improve timing. Dan watches for moves back below 70 after an overbought reading for covered calls and back above 30 after an oversold reading for cash-secured puts.
Valuation should guide entry and exit. If a valuation metric helped justify buying a stock when it was undervalued, that same framework can help identify when it has become sufficiently overvalued to sell.
Dividend holdings require different thinking. A dividend yield is effectively locked in based on your purchase price. A rising stock price doesn't automatically make an existing dividend investment less attractive.
Ideas are only the beginning. Friends, news, paid research, scanners and AI can generate candidates, but Dan emphasizes doing independent research before acting.
Premium alone doesn't make a good trade. For a fundamentally driven cash-secured put, both the prospective purchase price and the return earned if the put skates should make sense.
Build a repeatable process. The overarching theme is to use fundamentals for value-oriented investments and technical tools for skate opportunities rather than choosing candidates or strikes arbitrarily.

Cash reserved for cash-secured puts continues earning interest, making it an important contributor to total returns.
Interest rates also serve as a benchmark for comparing Wheel trades against lower-risk investment alternatives.
Consistently tracking meaningful metrics helps investors improve decision-making and better understand their long-term performance.
