$NVIDIA(NVDA)$   I'm bullish for the long term.  This stock is rather volatile over the past few weeks.  I am selling and rolling weekly OTM covered calls to collect premiums ✌️

I am an IT professional. I am confident and endorse that NVDA long term AI journey. Over time there would be turbulence in the progress of the business model due to politics, regulatory, chip supplies and market sentiment.  However I am taking a long term bullish position. During the last March/April when the share price pulled back to <$100, I carried out the following trades with risk mitigation in mind. Sounds crazy wanting to buy $NVDA @ $60? Yes, it is possible but not probable. Nevertheless, I'm happy to buy @$60 or just keep the premium 😊!

$MAPLETREE INDUSTRIAL TRUST(ME8U.SI)$I am a great fans of Singapore incorporated REITS for their consistent healthy payouts year on year.  It's highly regulated as our government mandates 90% of the net gains to be distributed to the unit holders.  Many of them I accumulated since IPO days.  This is one of them.  Dividend yield currently stands at > 5%, not bad at all.   Watching and awaiting the 'technical buy' signal confirmation to accumulate more 🤗!

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$   Last Friday, the share price ended at $187.66.  I thought my covered call of $187.50 then would have been exercised with the shares sold.  To my surprise, my NVDA shares are still intact and continue to be on volatile uptrend.   This week I continue with selling weekly covered calls but raised the strike price to $195 with $3.71 as the premium.  The covered call pairs are moving at the right anticipated direction ✌️.

$POP MART(09992)$   100 days into investing this stock, yielding a solid 107% gain thus far.  Honestly, I'm not a fan of that cute and ugly Labubu.  Somehow this stock is showing extremely bullish trend.  Looks like the bull run is still not over yet.  

$DBS(D05.SI)$  This is my golden goose that lays golden eggs ✌️.  Had been selling partial portfolio each time it reached new highs and reversed direction.  Later bought It back when it dips and rebounds.  This is the profit accumulated after repeating the 'buy sell' cycles several iterations.   

$INTC 20260116 29.0 CALL$  Bought this when $INTC uptrend just started.   It is now in deep ITM state.  I intend to keep this for some time since it is still in steady uptrend.   To combat the time decay, I sell weekly far distance OTM calls to collect premiums.  

$PropNex(OYY.SI)$   I am treating this as a regular source of income.  >4% dividends for a Singapore stock is not bad.  This is coupled with gradual increase in share price.  Owning this stock is like having a goose that lays golden eggs 🤗

It is no surprise that Singapore tops 2022 World Most Expensive City this year accordingto EIU (Economist Intelligence Unit).  Supplychain disruption due to China's zero Covid policy and Russia-Ukraine war had driven theworld's inflation by and large.  Singapore being a premier world investment hub has the most expensive car ownership price due to government's strict control in car number.  Heavy duty is also imposed in alcohol and tobacco.   It is indeed the most expensive city for foreigners to live in.  However, for the local residents, we have our own way of surviving.  The public transport is easily accessible, affordable and convenient.  Car ownership is therefore not a strict necessity.   Most of us could also do witho

I remember I once went to the community center with my 9-year old daughter to browse through some holiday short courses.  She chose 'Business  Concepts for Young Children, 8-12 year old'.   After the 3-hour course, she excitedly explained to me 'capital outlays', 'compound interest', 'risk management' with some business case studies using simple hand made charts, graphs and cardboard tools.   I was pleasantly surprised how much knowledge she gained through fun learning.    Today my daughter is in her early 30s and is a business entrepreneur.   I suppose there's no model answer whether to teach the young children 'investment' or 'business' or any subject.   Ultimately it boils down to the children's aptitude and interest.     I'm glad I

$ASCENDAS REAL ESTATE INV TRUST(A17U.SI)$Today there's dividend exercise of $0.07873 per share.   Share price had been soften by 7-8 cents.  Will keep this for longer term.   

I don’t currently own the stock. There’s nothing for me to hold. Nevertheless, the stock’s volatility is suitable for option swing trade. I just did one and closed within the hour for some small gain [Smile]

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$   Last week my option call was exercised at a strike price of $132 against an average cost of $120+.  That's about 10% profit margin realized.   Not bad at all.  This Monday it continued to run up beyond $135 😅!   Anyway I sold an option put of $125 strike price with an expiration date of Oct 25.   2 possibilities: the put option either expires without the stock price pulling back to the $125 mark.  It then means I get to keep the premium or it gets exercised when it falls below $125 on Oct W25.   For the latter scenario, it means I have to pick up the shares @ $125.   Either way works for me 🤗!

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$   Accumulated 110 shares by buying 10 shares each time rebounce after severe dip.  This is for long term investment using cost averaging method.  Occasionally I sell covered calls to collect premium. My other strategies are riding on puts and calls which I have shared in my earlier write-up. 

$GoPro(GPRO)$Got this as a courtesy fromTigers (thanks 😄) after doing a survey.  Long term business growth not that positive.  Nevertheless, no issue since it comes free and nothing to lose anyway 🤗!

It was a week of price turbulence for $NVIDIA(NVDA).  Based on the earnings and forecast, I remain cautiously bullish for the long term.  I have confidence over its management to do a good job and adjust the business plan from time to time accordingly. I am not overly worried.  However, it is good to have a strategy and risk mitigation as an investor. Before the earnings announcement, I guessed the price to be in the range of $180-185.  So I bought 2 Aug 29 $165/$175 bull spread pair for $5.30, hoping to make a gain of >40%. On Aug 29, it went thru price correction and closed at $8. I am good with that, no-issue.   My other short puts and covered call as indicated in the attached expired worthless.  In other words, I captured the full values.  While th

$QQQ 20250620 490.0 CALL$ Profit on volatility 🤗

$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$Adding this to my long term portfolio while the market is pulling back.Simple consideration:  REITs with regular dividend output, currently stands at > 5%.  Reasonable PE ratio on par with other REITs in comparison.   Singapore economy is in post covid recovery state with property and land prices appreciating fast.   In other words, there is near term capital appreciation opportunity.  Most importantly, this is spare cash that I do not need for daily living expense and hence no stress for short term price fluctuation 🤗!

$APAC REALTY LIMITED(CLN.SI)$Added this to my long term portfolio.  This company deals with property services, 8000+ agents. Current PE ratio is less than 7 with dividend rate of 10.7%.   Tomorrow there will be an exercise of $0.035 dividend.  With property prices and sales volume on an uptrend in a recovery economy, I am expecting the commission and service charges to be correspondingly trending up.   

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$   I once accumulated 100+ NVDA shares @$120+ and repeatedly sold calls thereafter.   Finally it was exercised at $132.  I then started selling short term put @$125 strike price.  So far I only managed to collect premiums but not the shares at the target price desired.   I am long term bullish for this stock.  However I am expecting short term volatility in either direction.    Prior to the earning announcement, I took the following actions:  1. Buy Jan 17 $140 call 2. Sell Nov 22 $160 call    3. Sell Nov 22 $125 put  The premiums for my shorts are lucrative due to the market volatility.   My view is, the stock is
