It's time to scale from $100K to $500K or even a million dollars. In this market, there are a lot of opportunities, and in this video, I want to cover three stocks, two of which I do not cover at all on this channel. These are two new stocks that I think are very good opportunities for this bull run. If you want to become a millionaire, there's more upside in this market. I made really good bets, and based on my research, I'm going to give you some new plays. I made over 15% in the last month alone, and here's a breakdown of what I think is going to happen for the rest of 2025.
I'm going to explain why I think this is still an inflection point in the market, why I think there's still a lot more room to run, and why we're in something called the Industrial Revolution for AI stocks. Okay, so I was looking at Morgan Stanley's private wealth director, and she was referring to something called the Industrial Revolution. So check out this quick clip, and let's talk about it.
Now, I feel like we're potentially at another inflection point. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that you have the resurgence in tech. What do you make of it? As you say, we're in a not-to-miss Industrial Revolution. That tells me you're focused on tech. If you go back to 2023, that market was 10 stocks. In 2024, we got 40% of the S&P, so we got a bit of broadening. 2025 is going to be a broader broadening, but the difference is that we should start to see companies that aren't already positioned for the download of AI are going to have to play rapid catch-up. That's what I mean by sort of these corporate extinction events that hearken back to the early 2000s. It's going to be very hard for companies to catch up, and we're already seeing that as an example in some of the companies within the chip sector.
Do you like sectors and stocks outside of tech? Because I guess in some respects, what I hear you saying is, "I like tech, but I don't have to be all focused on the mega cap. I like the derivative plays." The derivative plays because AI is an equal opportunity installation across all business cycles. That's the difference between this moment and 2001, and that's why I think the opportunity is so big because we're installing a technology that improves business models, takes current earnings, expands them, and reduces costs. It's a very different kind of Industrial Revolution than the uncertainty of the early 2000s around what the internet was going to be.
In this economy, guys, as you can see from that clip, we are in an inflection point right now. I can see the market continuing to go higher. Whether it's Palantir or Tesla, I'm going to cover some stocks in this video like AMD. I'm also going to cover Google. You might think that these are not that hot of stocks. I want to stick to Palantir; I want to stick to the high-flying stocks. But these stocks right now are also presenting a really good opportunity because when a stock has pulled back in a very crazy market, it does deserve attention. It does deserve a lot of attention because it's still part of AI; it's still part of the trend.
Guys, so look, in 2025, I'm telling you AI is going to dominate. AI is going to make the most money that you have ever seen in 2025. You want to be in that sector versus other sectors because the momentum is really hot. I've already talked about in a lot of my videos that momentum is key. So all three of the stocks that I'm going to cover in this video have a component of AI in them. So let's not waste any time. We've already seen a clip; we've already seen what my thought process is. Let's go to the first one.
This is a known stock; this is a stock I've been talking about for a long time: Palantir. I'm going to be looking at my notes right here. I've been watching a recent interview with Alex Karp, and he was talking about his company. Honestly, I said this in my last video: Palantir can be a $75 stock easily or even an $85 stock this year. We've actually seen a little bit of volatility with Palantir, going up to like $82 and then falling down a lot in one day. I'm telling you, that's what it's about. You can't really avoid the volatility; we're just going to have to ride the volatility. We're going to have to be smart about volatility. You can't just look at a stock and say, "This stock's just going to go off to the moon, and nothing else." We're not going to see any pullback. But along with the pullbacks, you should be purchasing; you should be dollar-cost averaging.
As Palantir goes up to, I think, maybe $85 at the end of this year, obviously that's a short time frame, and you guys know I don't like short time frames. But in 2025, we're going to see this business skyrocket. I'm really, really bullish on Palantir. What I think is going to happen is I'm placing my trust in Alex Karp. The confidence and the truth that Alex Karp spoke about in his recent interview made me realize two things. Okay, watch this quick clip about what Alex Karp said, and then we'll talk about it.
"We have the best people and the best products, and we built these products that were basically built years before people thought were irrelevant. The most relevant one now is how do you manage large language models in AI so that you can actually extract value? The value is quantifiable either on the battlefield to bring soldiers home, kill our enemies, or in commercial to change margins, reduce dwell time, and reinvent your business. One last point: one of the most important things people do not understand about AI is they understand roughly how it could work. Of course, they also have noticed that many AI companies or the large language models alone basically lead to a science project. But the purpose of what you can do with AI is you can do exactly what we did at Palantir, which is build your institution the way it ought to be built. A country ought to have a border; a military ought to be efficient in both how it spends and how it kills and how it protects. An enterprise that's in manufacturing should be able to control the supply chain, manage the workforce, and manage people who are smart but not technical, or technical but maybe don't have business acumen. Those kinds of things can be managed. Bringing an institution back to what it ought to be is the single purpose of what Palantir does, and we're now able to do it, which is why our enterprise business in the U.S. is just very, very strong. I mean, it's unbelievable. Total commercial sales in the third quarter rose 27% to $317 million."
Did you notice his body language? His body language is confident. This man is like, "I'm confident." He's going like this; he's about to jump out of his seat because he's so excited about what's going on with Palantir. I think that is the biggest telltale sign. It's not about what a CEO says because a CEO can be like, "Well, I think the company can do well." But if the CEO is like, "We're going to the moon; I'm confident," that's exactly what I read from Alex Karp. His body language really showed me that he's not just saying things; he actually means what he says. So I'm confident in him as a CEO, and he said that he's building institutions.
He says AI directly is impacting large enterprises' efficiency. All right, check it out. Let me tell you what this means. When you are affecting a large institution's efficiency, meaning that AI from Palantir is reducing costs, that is a direct bonus to that company. They are directly profiting from more efficiencies through data. This is why AI is so important because AI gives you the ability to analyze data, to basically create data, to make business decisions. Every single company needs to make business decisions. Even I, myself, as a coach during my one-on-one calls, I'm asking students, "Where are your wins? Where are your losses? What have you followed that I've done? Have you made trades that are outside of what I have told you from my Discord?" If I see, "Okay, my Discord is making trades, and they're making their own trades not working," that's a simple example of data that I use to understand how to improve my coaching.
This is data that every company needs; every person even needs data. Even you yourself have health data: how well did you sleep? What is your body weight? What are you eating? How many calories? Data is exactly what drives performance. Without data, there's literally no point. That's why I have a degree in finance, economics, and business analytics. Business analytics is very similar to data analytics; it's the same thing, just called something else, right?
So listen, when it comes to Palantir, I'm really bullish in 2025. I'm giving you the full rundown explanation here so you understand why I'm in my plays. Because it's not that hard to just look up my channel and say, "Hey, Henry's made this play; Henry has this leap, this covered call, this sell put." I mean, it's not that hard, right? You can just look at those plays. But why you want to understand why I'm holding them is because when you get a pullback in a stock, you want to understand, "Is this an inflection point? Is this a change of momentum? Should I jump ship?"
If you understand and listen to this video, then you will know exactly what to do. You'll say, "Hey, Palantir is down a little bit; I'm not worried." I did have some people panic about Palantir and get a little bit upset, but the thing is, we're up so much money on it that we can afford to have a little bit of a pullback, hold, and then wait for the rest of the pullback. I mean, we don't go up in a straight line; we go up basically by steps. Step, step, step. We take a little bit of an elevator down and back to taking steps up. That's how the stock market works, and that volatility is something that you have to bear. You have to bear through volatility; you have to go through some hard times if you want to see the good times.
I don't know anything in life where you just get good times, and I mean, there's no bad times. Even I, myself, have millions and millions of dollars, and I still have lots of things that I am overcoming. I'm struggling, and I'm always looking to improve. If I'm not looking to improve, you shouldn't even be watching my videos because someone who's not looking to improve and thinks they're already perfect is not a person to follow because this market's always changing, and life's always changing.
Okay, look, when it comes to Palantir and AI, unfortunately, I got to say this, but I don't like wars. But Palantir is revolutionizing the Ukraine war and the Israel war. They're playing a key component, and wars are now done through cyber warfare. A lot of it is cyber warfare. So, you know, unfortunately, I don't think war is going to be really stopping, and that's going to be a benefit to Palantir. I don't want war; I want peace. But you know, when you look at what Palantir is doing and the role that they're playing when it comes to defense, that's not going anywhere. Guys, we need more cyber defense. People are not fighting wars like, you know, maybe I don't know what's going on with China and Taiwan, right? I'm not into politics, but you see countries, neighbors that have issues and stuff, you know, Pakistan, India, whatever, right? All these countries that may have some issues with each other, they're not preparing with physical armies on each other's borders, although they are doing that as well. It depends on the country they're fighting with.
They're preparing technologically, so that's going to be essential. Palantir has grown their commercial business and their government business tremendously, and it's going to continue. Analysts have been wrong about Palantir for years. I think since I covered Palantir from IPO, this stock has been one of the best investments. I always say I'm going to show my portfolio, so let me show you this. It wouldn't be an Invest with Henry video if I didn't show you proof in my portfolio. I'm doing pretty good, actually. So even though we had a little bit of choppy market, I'm at $4.2 million or thereabouts. I do have to take out money for taxes very, very soon, so you guys will probably see my portfolio drop a little bit. I got to pay my end-of-year taxes, and I'm also thinking about doing an end-of-year tax webinar, potentially. We'll see if I have enough time for that.
So I'm going to look up PLTR; I'm going to show you my position right now and what I'm going to be doing. Excuse me if I'm taking a long time; I got three stocks. You know I want to make sure that I'm telling you guys the full story. So look, Palantir is at $72, and we did have that little bit of volatility. I know that Palantir went up to $80, and I know people are like, "Hey, that's it! That's it! I'm going $100 here!" But look, you know, like I said, there's going to be some pullbacks. It shows who's a good investor and who's a bad investor. When there's a pullback, do you panic? Because I don't at all. I'm just holding the stock. I have it at $21. You think I really care when this stock basically pulls back just a little bit? I don't care. You know, it's fine. That is what it is; that's the stock market for you. It kind of cracks me up if you think there's not going to be volatility. We're going to see volatility, and we're going to capitalize on volatility.
Let me tell you, when I was working on Wall Street and I asked one of the traders, you know, it's a volatile market that day. Things are going up and down. You know, is this okay? It was hilarious because that's like me asking an airplane pilot. I work with many airplane pilots. Actually, we have doctors, lawyers, engineers. I have a lot of pilots lately in my one-on-one coaching. That would be the equivalent of me asking, "Hey, you know, on a plane, hey, we got some turbulence. Is it okay?" The pilot's going to be like, "Of course it's okay. I mean, we're in the air right now. We're going a little bit up and down because we got some wind. It's okay." Right? He was going to look at me like, I mean, it's going to be a joke, right?
So same thing when it comes to volatility in the market. I mean, that's just part of the game. I have my average cost at $21.71. You think it's a big deal? No, it's not. I'm going to be continuing to hold into Q1, and we'll see what happens in Q2 of 2025. Guys, it's really important to stay subscribed to this channel because I'm looking at any inflection points. I'm looking at momentum; I'm looking at trend changes. Right now, everything's clear; the coast is clear. Don't worry about any pullbacks. The coast is clear right now. I'm giving you the green flag that there's a lot more money to be made. But at some point when the market pulls back, I may change the strategy, but I'm not going to talk about it right now. What would be the point? Too early right now; we're going to be good for a while.
Look, I have $12,000 or $13,000 basically made on the options themselves. I'm selling puts, guys. Sell puts on Palantir. Go for a $65 sell put. I would sell a $65 sell put probably for January expiration or February expiration or March. Listen, it's not that important whether you go for January, February, or March because you get paid in proportion to the time when you sell options. It's not really that rocket science. People will say, "Hey, this strike..." Sorry, not this strike. Strikes are important. Let me just talk about expiration dates in this video so we keep it efficient. Expiration dates are not that important. People say, "Oh, this expiration date is the best," or "Zero DTE is the best," or "Weekly is the best," or "Monthly is the best." Look, for me, monthly is the best, but you can also go two months out; you can also go three months out. That's fine because you get that passive income, and with passive income, you collect about the same in a two-month period versus a three-month period. So it's really not that big of a deal.
When I look at Palantir and see what they're doing with their government efficiency, how they're revolutionizing the market, we're going to do just okay, guys, for Q1 at least. Also, guys, I want to say one thing: I'm really passionate about Alex Karp because Alex Karp, he's transparent. This man's transparent, right? That's who I respect; that's who I look up to. To be honest, Alex Karp went to my high school. I learned about him when he launched his IPO a little bit before IPO. I learned that he was in my high school, so I was kind of gravitating towards him because, you know, obviously, I have some similarities there.
I just want to say that people have doubt nowadays in this economy, in this world that we have now. There's a lot of fake people, and even things like university feel like a scam. You pay so much money for a university; what did they teach you? You're not even guaranteed a job. Okay, when you look at government right now, there's a lot of people questioning, you know, Republicans, Democrats, both ways. People are questioning government in general, regardless of who's in the presidency. Right? And when it comes to Alex Karp, this man's transparent. He says it how it is. I believe he tells the truth. This man has a lot of money in Palantir himself, and he's growing a business. Okay, it's not a perfect business, but he's growing a business, and he's transparent about it, which is what I respect.
This is why I am invested in the stock because, you know, look at what politicians are doing. I'm paying a lot of taxes, guys. I don't fully know where my taxes are going. I paid a million dollars in taxes. All right, a million dollars I'm going to pay in 2024. I pay my estimates, right? That's a lot of tax, and I don't fully understand where it's going. It's going to worse or what, you know? And I want to be sure that when I invest in a company, that company is transparent, and the leadership is authentic. For me, that's the most important thing. I don't care how much a company makes if they're doing shady stuff because I don't want to be invested in a company that's potentially going to crash or do bad things, right? So I'm in a company that has American values that is actually helping. All right, it's not perfect, but it's helping.
All right, so that's Palantir for you. The next stock I want to talk about is AMD. All right, AMD. So this stock right here I haven't ever covered on this channel before, okay? But I want to really go over it because when I looked at AMD and I did some research, right, obviously, I got a lot of Nvidia. You know, chip buyers want to see more competition. Guys, chip buyers, they want to see competition, and amongst the AI chips, AMD intends to continue to compete in the market for AI chips.
All right, so I'm going to pull up AMD right now on the chart. I'm going to show you this really important chart right here. So as I was looking at it, and actually, let me refresh this because I was going to make this video yesterday, and I got a little bit busy here in Dubai with some business meetings. Look, AMD is in a very interesting position. If I go to the one-year chart, just check it out, guys. We're at the bottom; we're at the bottom, bottom. We're at the sea bottom. Okay, look, in the last one year, this stock has been as high as over $200 per share. Now take a look; we're hitting below support. Below support, we had a bottom here at around $130. We had a bottom here at around $133. We had another bottom here at $135. Now we have reached a new level of bottom. This, okay, we're at $127.74.
Listen, you guys are looking at all the big stocks that are up a lot. I like them too. I like SoFi; I like Nvidia. But listen, you also need some value stocks in your portfolio. Okay? Because when the market pulls back, we don't know when that's going to be, or just in general, when you see some volatility, you want a good growth play that is trading for a value, which is why I'm going to cover AMD and Google as my other two stocks. These stocks you have to pay attention to if you want to become a millionaire, and you have $100K, $200K, and you want to scale. You need to scale with growth stocks and some value stocks that are disguised as growth stocks. That's why I'm showing you this stuff, guys. I'm still showing you a growth stock, but I'm showing you a growth stock disguised as a value stock. Everyone thinks it's a value stock, but no, it's not a value stock. I'm going to explain to you why.
Look at the management and all the stuff that I was talking about with Palantir and Alex Karp. I'm going to tell you the same exact thought process here with AMD. Check it out; it's at $127. The chart is pretty, pretty freaking obvious. I'm not as bullish as I am on Nvidia, obviously. I like Nvidia more, but I do think that there's a short-term opportunity with AMD for at least in the next 90 days. What I want to do is I want to jump into this stock because it's at a 52-week low, and it's at support. It really can't go that much lower.
Okay, so I'm going to be selling. I'm going to show you an example. Let me show you an example of what I'm going to be doing. I'm going to pull up AMD right now. I'm going to show you several option positions for you to take a look into. So because AMD right now is under $130 per share, anything under $130 is fantastic. You can literally go look at $130 and anything below, close your eyes, throw a dart, you're good. Okay? But I'm going to show you the exact play that I'm going to do. So right now in my Discord community, I'm basically trading for January expiration, and I'm going to go ahead and do something like the $125.
Okay, so this is probably a trade that I'm going to make today. It's like early in the morning right now before the market opened up. As soon as the market opens up and I have my session, my group session, I'm going to be selling the $125 right here. So I'm going to sell the $125 put option for an entry into AMD, and essentially, I'm going to be collecting $480 worth of premium. So with $480 collected in premium, you know, that's roughly like a 4% return in 37 days. Now look, in this market, I'm making 10-15%, but like I said, you know, we can only be so much in the growth; we need a little bit of value as well. And if my value portion of my portfolio makes 4% a month, you know what? I'll take it. I'll take it, guys. I'll take the 4% a month.
AMD's revenues, by the way, soared by 122% year-over-year to $3.5 billion in the third quarter, and the company sees more growth ahead, and I believe it. I see more growth ahead as well because AI isn't going anywhere; chips aren't going anywhere. Look, just look at the AMD CEO, Lisa Su. All right, here are a quick three things that I need to point out because I study CEOs; I study leadership when I'm investing in a company because a company is just this leadership, right? It's not, you know, even on my YouTube channel, it's all about me. How much can I improve? Have I gone to the gym? Have I done my research? Have I improved myself? I get coaching myself. I spent a million dollars on personal coaching myself, not on financial coaching. I'm good there. I spend coaching on my mindset; I spend coaching on my business; I spend coaching on my health, and I'm investing in myself. That's really, really important because everything that I invest in myself, I bring to you here.
That's why I have the best plays up on YouTube; that's why I have the best returns on YouTube; that's why I have the number one options channel, and that's why I'm here to help you because I enjoy what I do, and this is my mission. And look, when I look at leadership, just like I look at humans, it's the most basic thing you can do. If you can judge a person well, if you have good intuition, you're going to make a lot of money. Okay? I have good intuition, and when it comes to Lisa Su, I think that she is doing the right things. This woman cares. All right? And you know, unlike Alex Karp, she didn't go to my high school, but that's okay. I did my research, and when I looked at Lisa Su, she became CEO in 2014. It's been 10 years she has been leading AMD.
I get it; AMD has not had the best performance, but there is something important about continuity. Okay? Continuity of a CEO is really important. When you see CEOs bouncing back and forth, like we saw with Chipotle, it was a win for Starbucks, not so much. Starbucks' stock went down after the CEO left. Right? When I look at Lisa Su, she's been loyal to the company. She has a lot of beliefs, and AMD was struggling financially and losing market share to competitors like Intel and Nvidia. But her strategy right now is focused on innovation; it's focused on efficiency, and she's identifying markets where AMD could excel.
Okay, she's doing what she can, right? The fierce competition from Nvidia, of course, but under her leadership, AMD is expanding into graphic technology. They're competing effectively with Nvidia to their best ability. Right? They're not destroying Nvidia, but they're maintaining their market share, and they're also in other areas like data centers and gaming. Okay? I'm bullish on data centers and gaming. So in general, I think AMD is a really good player right now, and Lisa Su led AMD into diversified segments, including partnerships with major companies like Microsoft. Guys, that's not a joke. When you partner with Microsoft, you don't have to be a genius, right? You're going to be printing money; you're going to be flooding your pockets with cash.
For me, partnering with Microsoft and Sony, by the way, they partner with Sony for gaming consoles, and they're expanding AMD's footprint into AI and machine learning. This is all stuff that I'm very, very interested in. You know, when I was studying in college, data analytics, when I graduated, this was like eight years ago or so, yeah, about eight years ago now, I could see the writing on the wall that AI and data analytics would take over. Right? I wanted to actually be a data scientist. I really like numbers, which is why I like option trading. I like numbers; I like data; I love that stuff. So, you know, that's really helped me pick the best stocks; that's helped me become a better investor.
So just understanding data analytics for me has been a game changer. I would say that when it comes to AMD, I'm just going to wrap it up. I think you can either sell puts at $125 or just honestly, here, straight up, just jump into the stock. Just buy 100 shares and sell a covered call. You know, I'm not going to recommend any leap options, although I did recommend some leap options on Target in my community. I'm so upset at myself because I told everyone to buy leap call options on Target, and I didn't do it myself. I didn't do it myself, but I did recommend it to my students, so we've had tremendous results on something as simple as just like Target.
Right? So when this stock pulled back, all right, this was right around here, I said, "Oh, this is a big pullback; buy calls." Okay? So now it's back up to $135. Buying calls was a money printer, right? So I myself have it at $121, and I'm up, you know, 11%. But this is 11%, which I said, you know, just a couple of weeks ago, or when was this? This is actually, no, this is November 20. Yeah, it's a couple of weeks ago. So this has been a beautiful trade. I love it. And look, that just shows you, you don't have to be into the hottest names. You can trade simple names. I'm up a lot on Walmart. I think I doubled my money on Walmart as well.
So look, AMD, sell $125 puts. Also, just jump into the stock and sell $130 covered calls for January expiration. Or on AMD, you can buy leaps. Let me show you what a leap would look like. I'm not sure I am super keen on a big fast recovery when it comes to AMD, so be cautious. Let me explain to you which leap I would use. You know, I don't think we're going to see it go back up to like $160, but we could see it go back up to like $140. That would not be unreasonable. All right? So you can buy a leap option for September, and you can say, "Hey, you know, I think we're going to get a bit of a recovery back up to $140."
But check it out; here's where you have to understand premiums. Okay? Premiums are really important because, look, even if you buy the $130 call option right here, look, you're not going to profit if it goes to $140. Look at the break-even; it's at $150.95. So you're not even going to see the profit on your hands by going to the $130 call option. It's not going to even work out because the premium here is $21 because the options market expects the stock to have some big moves. I mean, just look at the implied volatility; it's pretty high, actually, for a long-term leap option at 45%. I mean, are you kidding me? That's a lot of volatility; that's a lot of implied volatility here. The volume here, you know, it's all right; it's good. You can definitely trade this, but I won't personally recommend it because even if we go to $140, you won't be profitable here.
But I will show you a different strategy. This won't be like this is a leap. Buying a leap, you can just simply say, "Hey, I think it's going to go to $140." And now you will see a really good profit if you do a call debit spread. So the call debit spread right here, I'll buy the $130 and the $140. You're making a long-term bet here. And by the way, you don't have to go this long term. I'm going to show you a different play as well. I'll show you the difference, but the total cost here would be about $430, and the total gain is about 10%. So you can essentially turn $400 into $1,000 or 2.5 times your money in less than a year.
I mean, listen, you're talking about scaling fast. I told you scaling to $500K to a million. You have a $100K portfolio, and you're doing all the other stuff I talk about, but you mix in 5% of your portfolio into leaps, another 5% into, you know, potentially like debit spreads and call options and buying strategies. I said that has a place for sure. Listen, you're going to do pretty good. I'm telling you, my portfolio is up over 15% in a month. And I'm not even doing these types of strategies myself because I'm so busy coaching. I enjoy—I actually don't really enjoy trading, to be completely honest with you. I enjoy coaching more. I like human interaction. I like helping others. I mean, I enjoy trading to the extent of the results, but let me not ramble on here. This is a 2.5x return, so you can 2.5x your money. I mean, it's a no-brainer.
But look, you don't even have to go out to September. You can also do this for a shorter-term recovery. So let's say that I'm going to go for May, which is like five months out. So I'm going to just go ahead and buy a call option at $130. Okay? Again, same thing, same thought process, and then sell at $140. Now here, it's a shorter amount of time, still worth about the same. It's about $400, so it's kind of like a preference. You can say that you can go for September; you can go for May. It's about the same return, but obviously, AMD going out to September has a likelier chance to recover or go to $140.
So again, it's kind of crazy because this trade is—I'm not really—I'm just saying AMD can go up $10 to $12, which is just a 10% return, but you end up more than doubling your money on a 10% return. That's a 20x leverage factor, so it's no joke when you take a look at a trade like this. Now let's go into the third trade that I wanted to cover. So this is going to be on Google. All right, so Google is one of my favorite stocks of all, and I'm bullish on big tech in general because, you know, you look at the S&P 500, guys, we can hit 7,000 on the S&P 500 in 2025. We can absolutely hit 7,000 on the S&P 500. We can reach that pretty easily, and that's because of all the good momentum. And guess what? That's definitely going to go into Google, and I'm very positive on big tech, and I have a lot of money in Google. A lot, a lot.
I don't even post all my trades here on YouTube because I have a second portfolio. I save that for my one-on-one students. Right? You know, they obviously—I get compensated; I have a team; I have to compensate that. Families to feed, so I am a coach, and I do save some of my trades. And you know, one of my big, big, big, huge trades is Google. I just don't cover it on YouTube because it's not as popular, and it's just something that I focus on with my steady income students who are, you know, they're scaling to $500K; they're scaling to a million. I just simply say, "Listen, Google, don't ignore it. Google is like a top play."
And look, I have a lot of Google stock. I also have some Google leaps. I actually have some Google leaps in this portfolio. Let me actually show you the Google leaps I got in this portfolio. Let's scroll through my positions here real fast. I think my Google—yep, GOOG. I got a $170 sell put, which is doing well. Don't look at that; it says negative, but because the view here is last price versus a total return. Let me go to Palantir; it's doing pretty good. Google right there, I have a leap option. Oh wow, we got a $15.55 call option. I'm up $15,000. $15,000! Let's see, I opened up this position in October. I think I actually showed this to you guys recently on YouTube, or was it in my coaching? I put $20K; now it's $40K. We got a double.
And oh, I got to double this. $15K is not even enough because it's not even showing anything. I've closed gains by selling covered calls or poor man's covered calls. You guys know I made $5,000 more dollars. So this, I put $20K; I'm at $41K, over double that. You tell me, you guys see other stocks doubling? No, options, you can double if you play it right. So I got leaps; I got Google leaps. I put out that trade in Discord. Imagine you doubled your money in a month and a half. In a month and a half, obviously, keep safe position sizing, right? You don't want to put in too much, invest heavily because you got to pay attention to valuations.
But Google, the good news is, guys, Google has the best valuation, the best number one because this stock, looking at my notes here, has the best PE ratio, the lowest PE ratio of the Magnificent Seven. The best! I invested heavily because the valuation is really, really important to me at the end of the day. Right? I'm talking about leadership; I'm talking about all this stuff, right? But at the end of the day, it comes to valuation. It's money, guys. Money, money, money. Why are we here? We're trying to make a lot of money. We're trying to get richer; we're trying to get retired; we're trying to get money.
So when it comes to money, I look at the facts as well. I'm not just looking at the, "Oh, the Palantir CEO is good." Right? No, no, no, I'm not dumb. I'm not just looking at the CEO; he's saying good things. I look at the numbers as well. So I should have said that earlier in this video. But look, Google, we got a lot of money there, and the valuation makes sense. There's this one chief marketing strategist that I saw this clip. Let me find it. It was from Chris Gani, and guys, nobody's giving respect to Google. Nobody gives it respect. It's ridiculous.
And this is what chief marketing strategist Chris Gani said the same thing, and he put it perfectly. Watch this 40 seconds. "Let's move along to Google then, which is catching your attention these days." "Why sure? Well, this is like the Rodney Dangerfield of stocks; it gets no respect. They are hitting their earnings numbers. I think I was actually on with you the day they reported. It was a terrific number. The stock was up 8% that day. Since then, the antitrust news has come out where the government has asked to break up the company. Now, I'd ask investors to take a deep breath. I am old enough to remember Microsoft in the late '90s having their six-year battle with the antitrust authorities where they asked the government to break up Microsoft. They lost the first round, and then Microsoft eventually prevailed on appeal. During that time, that stock tripled. Now, I think there's lots of reasons why you might like Google; you might not. But I would urge investors to look through the antitrust stuff that's going to take, I would say, at least a half a decade, right? And use this as an opportunity to do the numbers. It's now selling at its lowest PE relative to the market of all time. It's about 80% of the market PE in an expensive market. This is the one Magnificent Seven stock that I really like that can do well if it hits its earnings numbers. It's not terribly expensive, and it's a nice way to play in that space even if you're scared of the other value."
Look what Chris Gani said. You know, lowest PE ratio; this stock is not expensive at all in this market. The safest play, AMD is a safe play; Google's a safe play; Palantir is on that medium risk, you know, high return stuff. But you know, the valuation is perfect, and marketing is number one for companies. Okay? When I look at Google, Google is facilitating marketing. They're facilitating it. Every company has to market. Without marketing and without sales, products are useless practically. Right? And people are spending tons of money on Google, on their search, as well as YouTube ads. You guys may have seen some YouTube ads. I don't place them on this channel. I place them, but they have to be placed. Google actually puts them on channels even if they don't want ads, and that's because YouTube is making money off of advertising.
And the same thing with Meta. I'll cover Meta in a future video, but you saw that kind of famous clip; it blew up; it went very viral where a senator was asking Mark Zuckerberg, "How are you guys making all this money?" Mark Zuckerberg was like, "Senator, we run ads." Right? Facebook's free, right? So the same thing is with YouTube. I think it's genius; I think it's amazing. I love YouTube, guys. I love YouTube. I can share knowledge for free and teach people and make them a lot of money. Like, I've probably collectively already made a hundred million for other people for free, right, on YouTube. Obviously, even more in my coaching. It's crazy, and that's why I love Google. I think it's a no-brainer play from search being strong, from YouTube being strong, and spending on ads will only go up.
If you guys understand how Google and YouTube works, there's a CPM. People, when they advertise, they're paying per impression. Okay? And the cost of impressions keeps rising. The cost of impressions keeps going up. People's attention keeps getting more valuable. So, you know, there's going to be more spending, and that dollar amount is going to increase, and it makes sense for companies. YouTube is the best, and I'm really bullish on Google, and I'm buying leaps. You saw the leap option that I recommended. I would still say those leap options are good.
