Can anyone share advice on how I should invest $125k where I will get good returns, yet have my initial investment be safe, or mostly safe? I could tie up the money for a year without any concerns.

Thanks in advance - Jason

Buy 300 Microstrategy today at $350, sell 3 $400 covered calls for Dec 13 for $35 each netting you $10,000 cash.In all likelihood, it is $400 by December 13th, so you make $20k in less than a month.Safe? To me? absolutely. To you? You probably don't see it, but come back in a month and see if I was right. Then you can buy MSTR at $450 and sell the $500 call, but you will only be able to do 2.

Jennifer of Diamond NestEgg is very smart and is outstanding in explaining how to do things. She is also a Financial Planner in New York.

AFAIK, she's not into stocks or options.

mNAV is 1.57, bitcoin is unlikely to go below $112k.

If you want super safe, STRC is paying 9.5% and will probably move up to $100 from $94.5 within 3-4 months.

If you want shorter term, buy MSTR here and sell a call 30 days our at say, $360.

Great chance they are included in the S&P500 in that time, if not, just keep selling that same call.
