Grant Cardone sure knows how to party! Even Arnold Schwarzenegger was impressed, saying “This has become the largest business conference in the world.”
Jon and Pete Najarian joined a line-up of top entrepreneurs, professional athletes and financial experts for this year’s 10X Development Conference. The event ran from April 2-4, offering networkers the opportunity to learn strategies from some of the most successful entrepreneurs from around the world.
Each speaker brought immense knowledge and intensity to the stage. Themes are included investing in yourself, going all-in to your goals, building strong foundations for your business and discipline.
It was the perfect introduction for the Najarian brothers, who brought their unique combination of commercial expertise, business acumen and a commitment to discipline to the main stage to help kick off the third and final day of 10XGrowthCon 2024.
They even previewed a TOP SECRET plan they were working with Grant behind the scenes…
The 3 best investments people can make today
Grant Cardone is no stranger to the stock market. His father was a stockbroker and is not known for his skepticism towards Wall Street. From the outside, that might seem to make Najarian’s and Cardone odd bedfellows.
But here’s the thing… Jon and Pete created Market Rebellion because they he knew the market was far from a level playing field. Their goal was to empower independent investors with trading education, content and tools so they could compete with the big boys.
Knowing Jon and Pete’s investment expertise, Grant started the conversation by asking “What are the three best investments people can make today?”
- Invest in YOU, in your business
“The best investment is YOU, in your business. That’s the single best investment because you control everything when you do that.” – John
“You need to invest in yourself, Grant. You know, you have 10X Health. You have to be healthy to have the mental and physical side of things. And that’s what you use to build your business.” – Pete
- Real estate
“The first time I was on the scene with Grant in 2019, I invested with him in real estate. I think many of you here may have done the same thing. Now, my wife gets a check every month from Cardone, so that worked out really well.” – John
“The properties are incredible. As a Florida resident, I became an investor a few years ago and have become a much bigger investor in the last four or five years because I think I understand it better—the ups and downs. But I think it can be an incredible investment.” – Pete
- Follow the Smart Money
“Trillion dollars are traded every day in the markets and it’s all about following the smart money. In other words, do you want to trade what Nancy Pelosi is trading? Of course – because he knows. Want to trade what Warren Buffett and Bill Gates trade? Many of these people who built incredible businesses did so on Wall Street—and we aim to follow the trades they make.” – John
Benefits of trading options over stocks
When we talk about the world of options, people sometimes promote a false narrative that options are dangerous. The truth is, they aren’t—IF you have the knowledge to trade them for the discipline.
Pete Najarian explained that if you know what you’re doing, options can give you leverage and the opportunity to exchange names that you might not otherwise be able to exchange;
“How many people in here could buy a thousand shares of Microsoft (MSFT) right now or Meta Platforms (META) right now or Nvidia (NVDA) right now. But you could in the world of choices—and that’s where we see a lot of secret things.”
While trading on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), Jon and Pete saw firsthand the power of options in the world.
“We have to look at the whole world that a lot of people never want to talk about, which is the world of options. Where Warren Buffett, who call it “weapons of mass destruction”. But the reality is that he is one of the greatest traders in the world of options. Carl Icahn, one of the biggest options traders in the world.”
Jon Najarian emphasized his brothers’ point of view:
“Michael Dell, one of the greatest options traders on Earth. Mark Cuban, one of the greatest options traders out there. It’s a smarter way to trade, it lets you follow the smart money. And instead of spending $900,000 on 1000 shares of Nvidia, you could invest $10,000, $15,000—cover those same 1000 shares instead of having all that money tied up in stock when you could have it in something like real estate .”
The reason we follow the smart money
John and Pete dive deep into power following the flagship of ‘Smart Money’ and the Market Rebellion Unusual selection activity strategy.
Using Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO)The diabetes/weight loss drug Ozempic and its competitor Viking Therapeutics (VKTX)Jon gave a recent example of potential initiates in action:
“One of the biggest things besides AI this year is Ozempic. Why; Because people lose weight and don’t want to be diabetic. Well, there’s another company out there called Viking Therapeutics. And I’m not endorsing any of that, guys. But with Ozempic, it’s a shot in the foot every week. Viking Therapeutics offers a pill. Which do you think will become more popular over time? I know who I’m going with. But some people knew it was going to have a great FDA test and they made 10 times the options they bought. We’re looking to go after the smart people who make that bet.”
How did this Smart Money transaction work? First, here’s a look at said unusual selection activity:
At the time, those $44 VKTX call options were over $10 out of the money. With a month to go, the trade was relatively large — even with the recent volatility in the stock.
Just two weeks later, the stock soared to $90 per share after news of the positive FDA test results. That inherently means, those March $44 call options were valued at over $50 apiece. We’re talking about 10X!
Pete continued, combining the beauty of choices and the unusual strategy of choice activity:
“John and I built these algorithms to find these exact trades. We will and will see someone buy 20,000 options on NVDA—and sure, that’s a monster trade. If that was the thing side of things, it would be too expensive for almost anyone out there. But on the options side, you could have a chance.”
Think about it. Assuming you actually bought the stock equivalent, you’d end up paying about $1.8 billion to control the same 2 million shares. As Jon said earlier, why is all this money tied up in stock? Pete continued:
“Just recently we saw a $1 million trade on the options side. But if you did the same trade in stocks, it would cost you $250 million. So what sounds like a better opportunity 10X?”
Jon then noted that the inside information is intrinsic. Which is true. Someone always has tomorrow’s paper, today.
“It’s a rigged game. There is always someone who knows. If a stock makes a really big move, someone knew about it. Now, that doesn’t mean they actually traded on it. There is inside information all the time. But sometimes, that information gets leaked. Sometimes even politicians act on it.”
Sometimes the information is so juicy, these insiders just can’t help themselves and act illegally on it. But once they make a transaction, it becomes public information — available to everyone.
Here’s the problem: with 50 million options traded every day the market is open, these trades are nearly impossible to spot without the power of Market Rebellion’s Heat SeekerTM algorithm and team of professional analysts.

TOP SECRET: Creating a 10X Revolutionary Nation
“We’re going to build a business together, I’m just telling you guys.” Grant said to John and Pete. Then he pointed to the crowd. “But what are they doing?”
Pete went on to explain why trade training is the first step:
“Even before you create the account, you need to educate yourself. You have to go through the training process – just like anything else. You have to understand it backwards and forwards. It’s the money you worked so hard to get, you just don’t want to (waste it).”
With something more up his sleeve, Grant got straight to the point: “Let’s tell them what we’re going to do. We haven’t signed an agreement yet. We haven’t signed an agreement. But we will tell you what we want to do.”
Jon Najarian replied, “So when we sat down with Grant and his team, we said ‘hey guys, we sold tradeMONSTER for $750 million in 2016.’ We will do this 10 times over.”
Pointing to Grant, John continued:
“When you have a guy with that kind of genius and magic, that’s why we came to Grant. We said look, your guys are marketing real estate, investing in real estate, and investing in your expertise. I guarantee many have (business) accounts or want them. If those people came to us, that’s just a homerun for everybody. Well, we’ll be making an announcement in the very near future.”
Looking out into the audience, Grant asked “Who would care about that?” Enthusiastically, the 10X crowd applauded.
“Awesome! Big thumbs up to Jon and Pete Najarian, my friends and future partners.”
Something big is coming soon, Rebels… Stay tuned!
