In this episode of "Invest in Yourself," we crack open Options Jive: the real dictionary of trading language.

If you trade options — or you're thinking about it — you’ve already heard the slang: “selling premium,” “theta gang,” “cash-secured,” “high probability,” “wheel,” “iron condor,” “defined risk,” “infinite upside.” Sounds smart. Most of it is half true at best.

This episode is your translator.

We walk term by term through the real language of options: calls, puts, strike, assignment, IV crush, Delta, Theta, buying power reduction, rolling, defined vs. undefined risk — and we explain two things for each:

What it ACTUALLY means in math and capital.

How people lie with it.

You’ll hear why “I’m just selling a put” is not a chill income strategy if you’re actually agreeing to buy 100 shares of garbage in a crash. You’ll hear how “iron condor” gets sold as safe when it can still nuke you if you size it like an idiot. You’ll learn how to hear risk even when nobody says the word “risk.”

This is not motivational. This is execution. After this episode, you’ll be able to listen to any YouTube trader, any Discord guru, any broker marketing page — and know exactly what they’re really saying in dollars.
