by Peter Pru
I’m Peter Pru (Peter Prusinowski), and I teach busy people how to build income from the stock market without the hype, the day-trading, or staring at charts all day. Here you’ll find plain-English breakdowns of the strategies I actually use: cash-secured puts, covered calls, the wheel, dividend investing (SCHD and friends), covered-call ETFs like JEPI, and building a real monthly income floor. Some weeks that’s options. Some weeks it’s dividends or ETFs. It’s all the same goal, steady income, built slowly and on purpose. No screenshots of giant accounts. No income claims. No “get rich by Friday.” Just how this stuff actually works, so you can make your own informed decisions. Whether you’re brand new or already investing and want more structure, you’re in the right place. 🇺🇸 Faith. Family. Investing 🇺🇸 Income Investing For Real People Educational Only. Not Financial Advice.

In this video, we break down the honest, step-by-step math of a 10-year dollar-cost averaging journey into SCHD—showing how a modest weekly commitment transforms from a quiet $45 quarterly dividend in year one into over $84,000 in assets and nearly $300 a month in passive income by year 10. We explore why surviving the flat part of the curve requires immense behavioral discipline, how percentage growth on an expanding base makes late-stage compounding bend sharply upward, and how crossing milestones like 1,000 shares opens up the optionality of layering covered calls on top

We explore how my "Income Floor" layer (using monthly covered call ETFs like SPYI and QQQI in a taxable account) generates steady cash flow, how my "Accumulation Engine" layer builds long-term wealth across a Roth IRA and SEP IRA (using JEPQ, JEPI, SCHD, VIG, VYM, VXUS, VTI, SPY, and QQQ), and how my active options account implements the Ark strategy to capture premium safely. We also dive deep into tax location strategy—explaining why certain funds belong in tax-advantaged accounts versus taxable brokerages to maximize your compounding potential without giving up unnecessary cuts to the IRS.

In this video, we break down the real-world math, behavior, and psychology of holding a $205,000 VOO position over a 10-year period—showing how weathering a 20% drawdown in year three or resisting the urge to chase risk during a market rally builds true discipline. We explore why the ending number isn't the full story, how a low 0.03% expense ratio and qualified dividend tax treatment compound your gains, and how building a foundational asset like VOO unlocks the future optionality of layering conservative covered calls on top.

In this video, we break down what a 20-year DCA journey in VOO actually looks like—starting from a $500 monthly commitment growing toward that headline $1.1 million milestone—while examining why surviving a 20% drawdown in year three or navigating an 18-month flat stretch in year 12 is where your true discipline is tested. We explore how consistent weekly buying builds a resilient cost basis, why the real goal isn't just a static ending number but the future optionality of dividend growth and covered call income, and how pairing a growth engine like VOO with a cash flow pillar like SCHD creates a complete financial foundation.

In this video, we break down why that trade-off makes complete mathematical sense during the wealth accumulation phase. While QQQI’s strict call spreads lock in high cash flow, they aggressively cap upside NAV participation during strong Nasdaq bull runs; by contrast, Goldman Sachs' GPIQ applies a dynamic 25% to 75% options overlay that actively scales down coverage in trending markets, allowing it to capture roughly 87% of the Nasdaq's upside while charging a remarkably low 0.29% expense ratio. We explore how total return ultimately trumps headline yield when you are in an accumulation phase where every distribution is automatically reinvested, contrasting it with the income phase where maximum immediate cash flow takes priority.

In this video, I break down the 10-year head-to-head math—showing how VOO's growth and tech-heavy focus won the total return race over the past decade, while SCHD's lower volatility during bear markets and superior long-term dividend growth trajectory offer an unmatched income engine for the future. We'll explore the concept of assigning the right "job" to your capital depending on whether you're in the wealth-building phase or preparing for retirement, and why understanding these differences changes everything about how you construct your portfolio.

In this video, I break down seven practical biblical principles—from avoiding haste and building wealth little by little, to pre-trade planning and proper risk diversification—and show you how they form the exact backbone of the Ark options strategy. We’ll explore how these principles keep you from making emotional mistakes during market swings, why counting the cost before every trade protects your capital, and how treating discipline as a habit matters more than chasing short-term returns.

In this video, I break down the real-world math of a 100-share JEPI position—worth roughly $5,800—showing you exactly what those monthly distributions look like in your account, how frequent reinvestment cycles accelerate your compounding, and why holding this in a tax-advantaged account like a Roth IRA changes your long-term results. We’ll also look at how layering a conservative covered call on top of your monthly payout can push your yield into the high teens during favorable market ranges.
