What started out nicely to the year went one gear better in the month of May when most people stay away due to the age old adage of "sell in May", but little did I think that it was delayed to a month later where the bloodshed took place, wiping most of my earnings gone for the year and still bleeding now as the main detractors $GameStop(GME)$ (100 shares from called put option) and $Canadian Solar(CSIQ)$ (multiple call options that I bought and multiple put options that I sold) contributed the bulk of the losses. The losses on $Canadian Solar(CSIQ)$ was one that I didn't see it coming, with it being a profit making one compared to similar competitors in

I stared at my computer screen in despair, watching my US stock market investments hemorrhage money. Despite my cautious approach, the market's unpredictability had caught me off guard, leaving me with a five-figure loss. But I refused to give up. I dedicated myself to recovering my losses, pouring over financial news, analyzing trends, and studying stock performance. I diversified my portfolio, taking calculated risks and hedging my bets. Slowly but surely, my losses began to shrink. The journey was long and arduous, with setbacks and false starts along the way. But I persisted, driven by determination and a refusal to accept defeat. And then, something amazing happened. My investments began to turn around, with losses dwindling and gains piling up. As the weeks passed, my confidence g

Previously, TigerBrokers had a similar event - year-end 2023 review. I shared about my experience. today, I would like to share my mid-year 2024. I consider myself in goodwill in 2 good earnings from  $Rolls Royce Holdings plc(RYCEY)$ &  $Citigroup(C)$. Why did I say so.. I have to factor - global economy (ge), technology & innovation (ti), environment & climate (ec), geopolitics,   health & society (hs), science & space (ss). GE has showed signs of resilience despite challenges, like the US and China have experienced moderate growth yet varied performance. TI: Forward advancements in AI and automation are digital transformation. EC: Investment in renewable energy has growth, solar, wind and battery technologies. HS: The world continues to recover fr

During this bull market, has your portfolio experienced explosive growth? Would you like to share your 2024 investment stories with other Tigers?We launched an event last month, and several Tigers shared their stories. Let's look at their experiences togetherRethinking My High-Risk Investment Strategy@Emotional InvestorOverall my portfolio is up 26% annualised over the last 6 months. And my plays to bet on a potential winner are seriously lacking. So what was I thinking? I don't think I was thinking. Early adoption can clearly pay off if you get it right, but I bet on four stocks, three lost, one is a big winner, but so much effort to basically break even. I'm think

Oil Prices Surge Amid Supply Deficit Concerns and Geopolitical Tensions

Overview: Oil prices are experiencing an upward trajectory as we enter the second half of 2024, bolstered by forecasts of a supply deficit due to peak summer fuel consumption and extended OPEC+ production cuts. Despite global economic headwinds and increased non-OPEC+ output capping some gains, both Brent and WTI crude have shown notable resilience, positioning themselves for further potential increases. Supply Deficits and OPEC+ Cuts Drive Prices Higher: As of Monday, Brent crude futures rose by 0.6%, reaching $85.53 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures increased to $82.05 per barrel. Both benchmarks have sustained approximately a 6% gain in June, with Brent maintaining levels above $85 per barrel for the past two weeks. This bullish trend is largely attribu

Well, recapping is always a painful experience for me. Two fundamental questions always come to mind. First, what was I thinking and second, I wish I'd brought more. Let's deep dive on each...  WHAT WAS I THINKING  At the beginning of last year I took a small position in 3 Australian penny stocks. $MURRAY COD AUSTRALIA LTD(MCA.AU)$ $ELECTRO OPTIC SYSTEMS HOLDIN(EOS.AU)$  and $HighCom Ltd(HCL.AU)$ The first is a fish farming company that raises processes and sells fish. It's a fantastic, sustainable product and I love investing in primary industries. Yet, I always get burned in the primary industries. Down 28%, what was I thinking. Second, EOS

I am a newbie in investing in the US market. It took me such a long time (after witnessing my friends making money)before making the plunge. I have no regrets as my return on investments is around 6per cent If I had known how lucrative it is I should have started my journey earlier .
As I sat in front of my computer screen on June 30, 2024, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. My US stocks trading journey had been a rollercoaster ride, but the numbers didn't lie - I had achieved a 5% return on my investment. It all started six months ago, when I decided to take the plunge and invest in the US stock market. I had done my research, read books, and attended webinars to learn the ins and outs of trading. I was determined to make informed decisions and avoid impulsive mistakes. I began by setting clear goals and risk management strategies. I diversified my portfolio, investing in a mix of established companies and promising startups. I kept a close eye on market trends, economic news, and company performances. There were ups and downs, of course.
AI play did spur up mkt, best one (also lucky) to be assigned PDD at $117, held on for a month+ made 20+% and exited. others gained ~ 10+ %. Good time to hv cashed out looking at what happend this week [Cry]

Small retail options trader - 2024 Started options trading this year. Saw good returns from NVDA calls initially. Some losses after the GTC with a failed calls prediction. Made good returns on Intel puts during Israel/Iran conflict. Also saw returns from AMC puts.  Had some pre meme-stock calls prior to its first large run this year with GME calls and AMC calls. Have reinvested those returns currently into GME leaps. Also had some short term calls on GME, AMC and FFIE for the predicted 6/21 price run but those failed with the share prices all ending sideways that week.  From now to the end of the year I'm committed to increasing my GME leap position with $60, $125 calls expiring in Jan 25. Also considering some smaller short term NVDA calls which I believe should pay good re
Graph statistics from Jan 2023 though. 2023 was a rather incredible and revolutionary year for me. It was the year where I decided to 'wake up' and turn my account of bleeding reds around. 🍎➑️🍏 It was nightmarish difficult to reverse the many reds I had, especially the $22K loss in $Sono Group N.V.(SEV)$ πŸ₯΄πŸ˜΅πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« My portfolio suffered badly in Jan 2024 (2nd pic) when the Crypto sell off occurred (after the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs), and I've been on a roller coaster ride up and down multiple times (if you see my graph in first pic). 🀯🀯 My regret was not letting go of my stocks at the right time and not taking profits when due. Paper gains are not yours unless its realised, sadly. 😬πŸ˜ͺ Now, I'm on my 5th climb up. It's draining and o
Although my overall investment is still in lose stage, but I had managed to reduce lost from $80k to $50k in this first half of 2024. I am confident I will be able to break even by this year end 2024.
