$Nvidia (NVDA)$Institutions took some pain in rolling their covered call position higher, likely re-evaluating last week's strikes after the unexpected rally:Bought $NVDA 20241018 145.0 CALL$ Sold $NVDA 20241018 138.0 CALL$ This widens the strike range, setting next week's upside target around $140. Can consider selling calls around those levels for next week.I actually hope institutions keep being this aggressive with their rolls - it would allow Nvidia to keep rallying week after week.What caught my eye was a large at-the-money put buying flow in $STMicroelectronics (STM
Last week was an “interesting” way to kickstart Q4 2024 and the first week of October. 3 main events influenced and presided over the US market: Tue, 01 Oct 2024. Iran missiles attack. Status - “opened”. Tue, 01 Oct 2024. US Port strike. Status - “pend until 15 Jan 2024”. Fri, 04 Oct 2024. US Non-farm payroll report. Status - “completed”. Coupled with the 4 jobs related reports released between Tue, 01 Oct to Fri, 04 Oct, the US market edged marginally higher by the end of the week. (see below) Despite a (a) fluctuating rate cut bets, (b) geopolitical tensions, and (3) supply chain concerns: DJIA: +0.15% (+63.0 to 42,352.75). S&P 500: +0.43% (+24.55 to 5,715.07). Nasdaq: +0.38% (+68.02 to 18,137.85). As we head into a new week, I will be curious if residual effect from last week’s even
I opened $Apple(AAPL)$ ,I recently invested in Apple (AAPL) amid mixed signals. While Barclays reports a potential production cut of 3 million iPhones for December, the upcoming rollout of Apple Intelligence features could drive an upgrade cycle. Despite the risk of slower sales due to declining upgrade rates, I believe the AI enhancements may reignite consumer interest in Apple's devices.
I opened $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ ,I invested in Amazon (AMZN) due to its strong market position in e-commerce and cloud computing, coupled with exciting growth in generative AI. With AWS sales up 18.8% and advertising revenues climbing 20%, Amazon is well-positioned for sustained growth. Its high operating margin of 9% reflects excellent margin expansion, making it a solid long-term investment.
I opened $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ ,I invested in NVIDIA (NVDA) due to its unparalleled position in the AI race and strong demand for its GPUs, which dominate the data center market. With revenue growth of 122% year-over-year and a forecasted 29% CAGR for AI accelerators through 2030, NVIDIA is poised to generate substantial shareholder value in the coming years.
I opened $Microsoft(MSFT)$ ,I invested in Microsoft (MSFT) due to its strategic focus on artificial intelligence and cloud computing. With Azure capturing 25% of the market and a growing base of 60,000 AI customers, Microsoft is poised for substantial growth. Its investments in AI tools and partnerships, like the $13 billion in OpenAI, further enhance its competitive edge, making it a compelling long-term opportunity.
I opened $SMCI 20241108 60.0 CALL$ ,SMCI: sold covered call with strike at $60 which was 40% higher than market rate of $43 when selling this. Since then, SMCI rallied another $7 to close around $50. Some of my other covered call might be in the water if this rise continued. Then I’ll have 3 choices, close with loss, roll it out or let it expire in the money and sell my shares. Will decide soon.

Handling Chinese Stock Pullbacks: The Collar Strategy
Hong Kong stocks opened lower and kept falling. The $HSI(HSI)$ dropped over 2,000 points at one point, and the $HSTECH(HSTECH)$ tumbled by more than 14%.Two Main Reasons:First, the Fed's rate cut expectations have weakened significantly. Recently, the US dollar index and US Treasury yields have soared across the board. Yesterday, the 10-year Treasury yield hit above 4%. Today, non-US currencies rebounded across the board, especially the yen's rebound, leading to a sharp sell-off in Asia-Pacific markets.Second, Chinese assets have surged recently. Whether it's Hong Kong stocks, FTSE A50 futures, or ETFs of Chinese assets listed overseas, they've all seen high returns. Yesterday, A50 open interest hit an a

$SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ recently caught my attention when it announced that it's shipping over 100,000 AI GPUs per quarter. Shares surged 15% on the news, as investors rushed to take advantage of what seemed like a major win during the ongoing AI boom. With GPUs being essential for AI training and data centers, it's easy to see why Super Micro is being viewed as a key player in the AI infrastructure space. However, despite the surge, there are significant concerns beneath the surface that keep me from feeling confident in the long-term prospects of this stock. Super Micro Computer SMCI Let’s start with the elephant in the room: the allegations of accounting manipulation. Short-seller Hindenburg Research has accused Super Micro of "cooking

07 Oct Market Gave A Negative Bias Throughout The Whole Session
On Monday (07 Oct) the market gave a negative bias throughout the entire session. Slight declines was seen on the major indices initially, which saw heavier declines in the afternoon. The S&P 500 settled with 0.96% lower, while NASDAQ fell by 1.18% and DJIA was down with 0.94% lower. Russell 2000 ended with a 0.8% loss. Profit-taking After Recent Strong Performance Trigger Sell-Off After the recent strong performance, we saw profit-taking activities which trigger the sell-off. Major indices were near record highs, buoyed by a robust September jobs report. Additionally, geopolitical concerns regarding potential tensions between Israel and Iran contributed to the negative sentiment. This led to a significant rise in oil prices, with WTI crude oil futures climbing 3.7% to $77.18 per bar
