1. Please briefly introduce yourself, share your personal investment growth experience, and how you made your first bucket of gold in the market?
@ZEROHERO: Hi everyone, ZEROHERO here. I lecture in a local arts college in media arts, and I run a digital media education company offering enrichment programmes to more than 300 schools in Singapore since 2000. I am blissfully married for two decades and we have two teenage gals pursuing tertiary education this year.

I invested in the local market during my army days through "tips from sources" which was certainly unsustainable. I only started investing in the US market right after the pandemic hit. My main tickers then were the speculative SPACs aka Special purpose acquisition companies, crypto mining firms like $Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ , $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$ and EV stocks such as $NIO Inc.(NIO)$ , $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ . The monetary easing by the Fed, the pumps from famous fund managers and online gurus caused those counters to soar as if the sky’s the limit. The failure to take profit caused by greed and the fear to cut loss soon took its toll from the pot of gold acquired.
2. From your trading share orders, it seems that you mainly trade options. Why did you choose options as your main trading category?
@ZEROHERO: During the bear market, I discovered that investing in shares is akin to “holding and hoping” as it is leaning towards one direction - up. There is nothing wrong if we have a long-term perspective to dollar cost average in those fundamentally strong and profitable companies. However, options trading allows one to profit from a bullish, sideways or even bearish market ONLY if we acquire a proper understanding on how option works.
3. What strategies will you usually use in trading options?
@ZEROHERO: I’m currently working on three strategies: 1) The selling of options generates about 2% gain per month, that is about 24% per year. 2) Credit spreads can garner between 5% to 10% per trade by taking either bull put or bear call spread at support and resistance, respectively. 3) Day trading is the most profitable with a possibility to achieve 10% per day, per trade but it is also the riskiest of them all. It may take up three to five years of daily trading to understand the market before making consistent profits.
4. What is the most successful or impressive investment experience you have had?
@ZEROHERO: Successful investments are never sexy. In fact, it is supposed to be a boring experience. Do you know that by compounding 10% per year using $300 per month could help us attain a million dollars over 35 years? Consider investing your kid’s red packet into $S&P 500(.SPX)$ for a start and they will thank you when they grow up. The tip here is to start early by using time to compound the returns exponentially.
S&P 500 has a track record to achieve about 10% per year on average since 1950s
I would not claim it as impressive investment but more like a one-hit wonder. Those were the SPACs run with $Churchill Capital Corp IV(CCIV)$ warrants soaring more than 1000% overnight after announcing Lucid Motors $Lucid Group Inc(LCID)$ as the merger company. The more recent event would be buying $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$ during the crypto sell off gaining more than 200% within a year.
Buy low, sell high
5. How do you select stocks and control risks?
@ZEROHERO: I prefer to invest long-term using dollar cost averaging method during a dip or pullback. I trade $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ , $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ and some big tech counters as they are highly liquid. My risks control: - Always take partial profits by scaling out at resistance levels, let runners run with a stop-loss set at breakeven so that green trades will never go red. - Avoid FOMO trading, over trading and revenge trading. - Trade management with a stop-loss order and proper position sizing risking only 1-2% of your capital per trade so that one wrong trade will not blow up the entire account.
6. I noticed you've been sharing a lot of trades recently. Could you introduce your current positions, and what is your follow-up trading plan?
@ZEROHERO: Currently I’m selling options on Tiger brokerage, day trading on $Interactive Brokers(IBKR)$ and taking long term investment by tracking S&P 500 using my CPF monies via Endowus. I hope to improve on my trading psychology, devote more time to master day trading and looking to further customise my platform to support one click trading for efficiency.
7. From the trades you shared, it seems you're also doing day trading. So how much of your portfolio is allocated to day trading? And what do you think are important considerations for DT?
@ZEROHERO: I’m tapping on 10% of my portfolio for day trading as I’m still a learner. From my experience, successful day traders are often very disciplined, patient, and consistent in their trades. Day traders may wait for hours to catch the momentum or reversal, profit within a few minutes from the breakout and call it a day. As our local time and the US market differs, we can only trade the first 2-3 hours at most. Sometimes, the deal can be done within the first 15-30 mins and we can start to enjoy time with our loved ones
Traders with a young family, a busy work schedule and other personal commitments may not find day trading suitable in this season of their lives. It is better to find an appropriate trading system according to our availability and personality so that we can enjoy the journey while seeking to achieve financial freedom.
8. What do you think the market will perform in 2024? And what's your investment goal this year?
@ZEROHERO : 2024 is the US Presidential election year. From historical data, the market is expected to climb another 8-10% until Santa Claus comes to town. The third quarter remains bullish and any news of a rate cut will likely send the rocket to Mars. However, healthy pullbacks of 5-10% are normal especially closing in towards the election month so there could be pockets of opportunities to accumulate discounted stocks.
My investment goal is to“Make all you can, invest all you can, give all you can”.I’m forming an avid trading team to establish our track records and to promote financial literacy programs for the next generation. If you have a better idea than putting money in the bank earning 1% interest per annum coupled with a passion to share your investing/trading journey with the young and the young at heart, let’s chat more！
