Strategic Swing Trade: Managing Risk and Enhancing Returns with PLTR Options $PLTR 20251017 80.0 CALL$  As an options trader, leveraging both calls and puts strategically can create opportunities for short-term gains while effectively hedging risk. Recently, I executed a swing trade on Palantir (PLTR) options, targeting the $80 strike price with an expiry 11 months from now. Here’s a breakdown of my thought process and execution. The Trade Breakdown On November 19, I sold 2 PLTR call contracts at a premium of $9.50. This move capitalized on the elevated premiums due to the extended expiration and higher volatility. Shortly after, I identified an opportunity to buy back the same 2 call contracts at $9.23, locking in a quic

$Tesla (TSLA)$After seeing Tesla's new large option trades yesterday, I couldn't help but chuckle at the comedy of errors that could end up fueling a move to $370.First, the institutional hedgers rolled their $330-$360 collar up to $365-$405, now expecting TSLA to stay below $365 while hedging the $365-$405 upside:Sell $TSLA 20241122 365.0 CALL$ Buy $TSLA 20241122 405.0 CALL$ As I mentioned yesterday, the logical short strike for a pullback in week 2 should have been the prior $360 highs, not the $330 level from Friday's highs which was excessive.But with Monday's open above $340, they seemingly lacked convict

Selecting the right stocks to monitor isn’t just about spotting trends; it requires understanding the why behind each decision. Here's a step-by-step approach to stock selection, complete with examples and explanations of why these factors are important. 1. Evaluate Net Income: Is the Company Profitable? Why It Matters: A company with positive net income is making a profit, which indicates financial health and a better chance of long-term survival. Negative net income suggests the company might be struggling, which increases risk. Example: Company A: Net income of -$50 million (negative) [Facepalm]. Company B: Net income of $100 million (positive) [USD]. Decision: I focus on Company B, as profitability shows the company is generating more revenue than expenses, a critical sign of stabilit

[For Hong Kong Investor Only] The recent approval by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for 10 trillion yuan of local government debt swap aligns closely with market expectations. However, the meeting did not announce additional policies related to real estate and consumption that the market had anticipated. We believe that, based on the Chinese government's policy decision process, further policies concerning real estate, bank, and consumption are likely to be revealed at the Central Economic Work Conference and the Politburo Standing Committee meeting in December, as well as next year's Two Sessions. As the U.S. elections conclude, we contend that China's stimulus policies will continue to be a decisive factor for the performance of the Chinese market. The overall d
