Markus Heitkoetter is CEO of Rockwell Trading Services, as well as a long-time stock and options trader, educator, and author of The Wheel Options Trading Strategy. In this interview, he explains how he began investing as a high schooler in his native Germany with one share of Volkswagen (ETR:VOWG_p) AG. Now, his firm offers trading systems, software, coaching, and content aimed at beginning and expert stock and options traders.
We discuss Markus’ methods for generating “SRC” profits – those that are Systematic, Repeatable, and Consistent – rather than simply chasing “10 Baggers.” He also shares tips on options selling and identifying the best stocks to target when doing so. Plus, he explains how his “Wheel Options” approach works by combining put option selling, buying underlying value stocks at a discount, and then selling covered calls against them.
Later, Markus shares his views on the challenges facing investors in this current environment – from rising interest rates to increased stock market volatility. But he explains why higher vol can be a trader’s best friend...AND why we’re set up for a nice year-end rally.
