$TSLA 20241220 160.0 PUT$ So in my journey to understand options, I'm doing well on buying calls, betting on Winners. This is just a demo trade so please don't be alarmed, no real money lost. But I think I have learned a valuable lesson here.  Don't bet on something that even while you believe the stock is going to drop like a stone, other factors come into play. namely, too many big investors are in on it, and while they might be less bullish, there is no way they are getting out cause there's too much skin in the game. For now, I'll stick to buying call options, and will continue to hone my skills at betting on losers on the demo platform. This is truly a great part of the tiger trading platform. You really can test you

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Still some way to go... At least according to the chart... There are obviously risks and opportunities involved for 🐯 broker. 🐯, as we know, has been building up its community platform through various activities. It has grown its community into a platform of information sharing, as I am doing now [Tongue]  . A major risk comes from China as the Chinese legislation has been targeting Chinese money outflow. New law is in the work to prevent Chinese investors from using trading platforms such as 🐯 to invest outside China. To be fair, 🐯 broker has taken steps to alleviate China's concerns. The question will always be is it enough. Opportunities obviously lie in the platform itself. Tiger broker has been

$(AMD)$   Four months ago, I embarked on a Wheel Strategy with AMD. The moment of truth arrived in the third week of April when my Cash Secured Put with a strike price of $150 was met, and the underlying shares were assigned. For the past seven weeks, I've been actively selling Covered Calls against this lot of 100 shares. While a few of these options expired worthless, most were bought to close within a few short days, capturing quick profits whenever the odds favored me. The total profit from the initial put option and the subsequent call options amounted to $780. Additionally, the profit from the underlying stock itself was $1,750. In total, this seven-week wheel cycle yielded a handsome profit of $2,530. Had

Alibaba and PDD: The Race for Market Supremacy Revenue and Profit Margin: Alibaba's Stroll vs. PDD's Sprint In 2024, Alibaba and PDD are battling for market supremacy. Alibaba, the seasoned veteran, reported a revenue of RMB 941,168 million (US$130,350 million) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024—an 8% increase. Their net income, however, was RMB 79,741 million (US$11,044 million), giving them a net profit margin of about 8.5%. Respectable, but not exactly headline-grabbing.

Selective readings? When you read news articles, about US stocks, Crypto, US economy etc.. do you selectively read only the “good” stuff eg. positive news or are you indifferent ? For myself, I like to read about all things under the sun. That means news articles that are the good, the bad and the ugly. When it comes to US stock market, nothing is impossible. One only needs to hark back to March 2023. Who would have thought that US banking sector will encounter a bank run in this century, aided by social media platform -“X” (former Twitter). Which is why when I came across the above post, I did not hesitate and read it. Wasn’t it Jamie Dimon CEO of $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ who said the same thing recently?
