Put your
patience
to work.
Capital should either work — or be
compensated for waiting.
Discover an income-first approach to investing, where time, discipline and volatility have a role to play.
Waiting is inevitable.
How you wait is a choice.
You can spend a lot of time waiting as an investor. Waiting for a price you like. Waiting for a holding to reach your selling price. Waiting for the market to move.
Paid to Wait asks a different question: can you accept a clearly understood obligation in exchange for income along the way? The starting point is a plan for your capital, before the next trade.
One framework.
A continuous discipline.
Follow the cycle to see how cash, share ownership and option premiums fit together.
Begin with a plan
for your capital.
Set aside cash for a potential share purchase. Decide what you are prepared to own, at what price, and how much capital you are willing to commit.
The allocation comes before the opportunity.
A simplified educational overview. Option premiums compensate for obligations and risk. Share prices can fall substantially, puts may require you to buy, and calls may require you to sell at the strike price. The cycle is not automatic and income is not guaranteed. Learn about options at ASX ↗
