$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ Ok so this was the very first options trade I wrote, over a month ago. As you can see I went long, jan 2026, and paid $2.50 for a $2 Right to buy. I have a huge amount of confidence in rocket lab going forward and my intention for this call is to hold it and excise it. Well that was my original intention. But woot, it's now officially in the money today. I'm clearly a bunny when it comes to options. And loving the comments I get from you guys that help me to expand my knowledge. I'm thinking and have actually since this first option trade... looked to cheaper and shorter term trades, but I'm pleased to see the first one, and actually all of my calls so far being in positive territory now. But this trade

Yes I'll be looking to buy more, but not the stock more likely calls. The other item that has come to my attention is that nvidias new AI chips are apparently very very greedy on power, so maybe another long term play is power stocks. Look at where data centres are concentrated and buy into power companies that support those areas. This is going to take some research but I think it's worth it. @Tiger_chat @TigerPM @Daily_Discussion @TigerPicks 

So, i believe the biggest issue fundamental investors have is the information they rely on. Often, more often than you think, it's actually wrong, or sometimes it's just calculated in a way you didn't realise. I will use two cases to illustrate, from one investor class... the dividend investor. I look at data every day, and dividend investors are looking for consistent and growing company dividend over time. Personally I want a dividend stock to be doing both. At least once a week, information about the stock I invest in is actually wrong. #arcc last week for eg on one site told me it paid a dividend of only 3 cents per share during 2 quarters of last year, totally wrong. Checking other sources quickly confirmed it to be totally wrong. Moral of the story... don't trust one source of data,

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ It mite dip a bit more, then again it mite fly. Lets face it, retail investors have zero control. Its the bigs that determine the price. You can watch then manipulate stocks every day buying or selling 100 stocks a pop every second then pop 2k+ when the stock hits the desired price. Nvidia has a destiny, and that destiny is up. So my strategy is just to keep buying as funds permit. Its the big fish atm, but i find smaller fish taste better in the long run. So nvidia is a tiny part of my portfolio.

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ this is the one to watch this upcoming week in my humble opinion. Oh also $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ and $PayPal(PYPL)$ but ill just focus on sofi in this post. Ive been buying calls over the last few weeks already sold 2 and excised 1 with the profits. It will go to at least $14.50, and maybe hit over $20 prior to Christmas but it will be volatile. Anytime it drops to $12 im hitting the buy button (funds permitting). Buying into pltr and pypl is way more expensive than sofi, all have serious upside going forward but im a tiny invesment fish, so 3 trades for $500 has better outcomes for me than one $1500 trade. Oh and then o

So I always get bemused when market commentators try to spread fear because insiders are selling. This really is a totally stupid metric 97% of the time. And the commentators that discuss this metric, well in my humble opinion are not worthy. So let's explore this... First up, insiders are human, they have to pay taxes and other bills like the rest of us. But they generally get stock bonuses if they achieve certain milestones, and woops, that's a huge amount of extra income, and obviously the tax department has their hand out. Could be a tax bill for $300,000 give or take if you got a million worth of stock bonuses. So you have no choice, gotta sell some stock. Maybe the super yacht blows an engine, or your daughter gets engaged, or you find a cute little mansion in Tuscany, or you watch a

At $22, Rklb is getting a little ahead of itself, but if it goes to $50 next year you'll be upset you didn't pay $22 now. Is $50 realistic though? Well if all the tailwinds Aline, $50 is a low target... neutron launches and lands, backlog goes to 2 billion, electron launches 30x, annual revenue exceeds $500 mil.

Up over $10,000 NZD so far today thanks to $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ ;)@Daily_Discussion  @TigerWire @Tiger_chat @TigerPicks 

Frankly my dear, I don't give a dam. I have my own approach and I think I'm doing ok. I think the pic below pretty much illustrates that. Macro factors are important obviously. but for me, it's more about emotion. I buy because nobody else seems to get it. $NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$  It's a dividend stock, it's crashed seriously and as a result it's dividend is now over 21%, that's insane! Why is it down so much? Well Q3 was very bad, and there's a chance it could cut its dividend in the future. Emotionally dividend investors go crazy if they think their dividend mite be cut, and sell off big time. And that's exactly what's happening. But I don't think it will be cut. Since the company announced they mite not be able to increase their d

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Well, if you follow me you know I am obsessed with rocket lab... an there are $8,923 reasons why. Plus another $6,000 on top of that, profits from buying calls. Is it too late to get in? Well my cost basis is $4.10 and today in after hours trading, after their Q3 call it's over $18. I think it could drop back a little, and perhaps go sideways for a few months. But long term it's going to keep climbing at crazy rates due to the tailwinds it will announce and deliver on next year.  Also of note, on today's call, over ten analysts on the Q&A, last call it was like 4 from memory. The bigs are slowly getting a clue about the potential of RKLB.  Luckily I still have a few long calls I brought 6 months back at a

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ so how have I done it? and annual RoR of over 1300%. Well you will notice in the third pic that returns on a monthly basis are mixed. I joined tiger in March this year, and started learning how to trade options on the demo account. I spent the first two months just learning options trading and the tiger platform, hence negligible returns. then I started trading options and bam! Some fantastic months, and some not so much. But overall insane. But what am I doing, and why don't I spank it every month? Well a lot of the time I am setting up trades that will be lucrative at some point, but not this month. How do I know they will be lucrative? Because I spend all my spare time researching companies that are going to grow

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ my beautiful unicorn stock, is a 3.5x for me Now. To be fair, I wasn't expecting it to shoot up this quick. Then again I see institutions starting to jump in. I was expecting a 2x by Christmas, so I guess Santa decided to give me an early present. Will it retract or stay where it is?  I think it could pull back a little, but I'm expecting some good news before the end of the year or early next year... capped call transaction completed and repayment of the $350 million loan, a big new satellite contract of half a billion and/or access granted into the SDA satellite launch tranch. All three will happen, the only question is when.  It mite pull back if it doesn't launch electron a few more times in Q4, but that'

$Valero(VLO)$ So, why did i just buy this stock. Well i actually made a list of stocks that could go ballistic if trump got in, and this was one of them. $Caterpillar(CAT)$ is another I brought today. The other two are $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ but the latter two are getting very expensive. VLO is a massive oil refinery, trump plans to drill for oil, so its a no brainer. Likewise CAT with currently alot of off shore production will benefit big time from serious tax incentives to bring production home, and it has plenty in the war chest to do it, plus there products will suit trumps focus o

I hope harris will win, only because I am totally disgusted in putin and his invasion of ukriane. Trump doesnt support ukriane so thats huge for me. Putin is responsible for killing and destroying and displacing millions. He must be stopped. But regarding the market, i just want this election done and dusted. It creates uncertainty, and the market hates uncertainty. I believe whoever wins, the market will react positively due to a sence of certainty returning.

Nuts! I forgot November traditionally smashes it. Sadly all my funds are fully committed, so i guess ill just go buy some popcorn and watch. Hopefully my call options will pop and maybe i can realize some profit, then get back in when wall street goes to sleep over the Christmas. 

$HighCom Ltd(HCL.AU)$ Ok ive talked about this stock a couple of times. Its an Australian company with subsidiaries in the USA. I first brought it when russia invaded ukraine. They make military helmets and body armor, and do drones as well.  Im seriously anti war, but the stuff they make saves the lives of people that didn't start war, so i was fine investing in it. Shortly after i invested, the company Received the largest contract they had ever had to supply helmets and body armor to an anonymous buyer, and the cash was paid in advance in full. Obviously ukraine, but they could not disclose that. This was a game changer for the business but it took about 2 months for the market to pick the news up, and the stock skyrocketed eventually. T

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ Tomorrow will be very very interesting as SoFi presents their earnings pre market. As usual ill be late to the market as it opens at 1am New Zealand time. By 5am nz time ill be up, so i guess i'll see what's unfolding Then. The past would suggest it will be down regardless of how good the results are, but the last few times they had not secured an xtra $2 billion in funds to lend out to their clients. But here's another thought. If you follow me, you know I think $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and Elon in particular are total BS. The products are crap, and elon, the teflon don, makes promise after promise that he doesn't deliver on... he lies and gets away with it time and time again.

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Ok can someone please explain to me why i should be bullish on Tesla.  For a start there is Elon, pretending to be a electric car engineer, taking credit for the engineers he hires that actually know something. Same applies to spaceX btw. How many cars were recalled recently due to a fault? Two million plus I think, but I didn't fact check that, so mite be wrong. Regardless what did that cost. Then there's Elons new salary package... more than the GDP of quite a few countries, nuts. But at least it's affordable because he sacked all those Tesla employees. Bye bye the salary you were getting to barely support your family, hello Elon getting millions to support his. The bulletproof cyber truck... why? At least it kinda stop

I could crap on about why $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ Is a super growth stock but actually it only is until it isn't. Always been a huge $Apple(AAPL)$ Supporter, but now not so much. Sure I can buy an Apple Watch for about $600 nzd, or I can get a knock off for $12 nzd on Temu. obviously the Temu product is crap compared to the Apple Watch, but 12 bucks, it works ok, makes people think I have the real thing. And also makes me think apple is ripping me off. The thing about superior tech is that it's only superior until everyone else copies it. But nvidia, well love it or hate it, it's a great company in my mind for now. And yes I own it. But not so much because it's got insane growth potential, more that it's got

Since I joined tiger about 7 months ago I've turned just over $5000 usd into over $12000 usd. Does that make me happy? Heck yes. Faced with a total investment portfolio of about $35000 and less than 11 years til retirement, my predominately dividend based Portfolio is realistically not going to give me a comfortable retirement. So I felt better to burn out than fade away. I either take much greater risk and loose it all, or make a fortune. Hence I joined tiger to learn options trading. Granted, I've only deployed 5 of the 35k I have into options on high growth potential stocks but it's going rather well so far. And as options trades go in the money I do redeploy some of the profits excising the options for less risky stock, and also increase positions in more predictable dividend stocks to

$NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ Ok so latest earnings were not good. Two days after and we are down 20%. But wait at current prices the dividend yield is 17.5%, thats insane! And the dividend payout keeps going up, even though they said it's probably going to be flat for a while due to high interest rates.  But wait, interest rates are now coming down. Yes nep is in a very capital intensive business, and there is likely pressure To reduce the dividend or raise more capital. But seriously! Even if the dividend comes down to 10%, thats still a great return.  I think the market has totally overreacted, and im buying it because even if there are headwinds, its a great infrastructure company that is at bargain basement prices. Longer term it

$SOFI 20260116 5.0 CALL$ Ok so heres a stock i have not talked about. Its rallied alot was at $8 now over $10. So im crazy for getting in at $10 right? Earnings are close, end of this week but the street still has not factored in the recent $2 billion deal with fortress finance. Once they get round to crunching the numbers, valuations will seriously poop.  But thats the tip of the iceberg. I have been far too slow to get on this stock. Been doing my DD. I invest in quite a few bank stocks. Banks are always slow and very cautious. But SoFI represents the future of banking, and im now totally on board. Sofi has gone sideways for about 2 years, now all of a sudden its rocketing. But I believe this is early days. Why? Well, it
