$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$  a little more... another push... when everyone chases the glamour of AI, semiconductors are like minerals, commodities... a paradox for me too... for my portfolio is not built for collapse... ironically the 🐻 is the 🐂 [Tongue]  [Silence]  [Chuckle]  [Evil]  

$Silvercorp Metals Inc(SVM)$ The gold and silver prices, together with copper are still holding well... SVM, as a silver miner, has its own moments. Nevertheless, we would still need silver to rebound strongly before it can once again takeoff. I have not given up SVM clearing $15. It did broke $15 when silver price went on a rampage. The good thing is that SVM continues to progress its other gold and silver mine (see my old article for more information if interested), so it doesn't need another super big silver price bull rampage to get back past $15.  Lie low and stay patient. Time is of essence.

$CRML 20261016 15.0 CALL$ chunk change for tea break... waiting for more opportunities to ride this wave 🌊 again... more political upheaval, more Trump's nonsense, more interest in its principal company... then I can earn more pocket change. Not going to worry if the principal got called away. Yes, I missed its big one at $30+ some time ago due to the calls options. However, I have also made two big rounds in the same trade, so I can't and shouldn't complain. Be patient... I am sure the next wave 🌊 for either rare earth minerals or Greenland 🇬🇱 issue would come again in the months ahead, like it or not. The principal company isn't borne by politics for no reason.

$ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$  Bad week... while others rejoice, my portfolio suffers... will update more in the next few days and hoping for a better week... and month ahead with US midterm elections around the corner in November!!!

$Elixir Energy Ltd(EXR.AU)$ 1-Oct is just around the corner. Market should have sniffed something by now? But it seems more uncertain at the moment. The share price corrected significantly yesterday while bouncing back in a meaningful today. This is probably a good thing - the deal has not been wrapped up. As I cannot be further from the real action, I can only read the tea ☕ 🍀 🌿 from the charts... and all I can see is price action in the movement chart if any. A cup and handle formation has apparently been formed recently. After the handle formed, it is followed by a first higher low and higher high. 8.5 cents is a near term resistance line. After clearing that, the target for cup and handle is 10.8 cents. Secondary charts look good at th

$CRITICAL METALS CORPORATION(CRML)$ it has been a gift that keeps giving. It might not be your $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$  or $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , it's still something worth celebrating 🥳🎉. A few shining lights in my weekly gloomy trades.  Greenland trades suddenly kicked in again last week when all was peace and quiet. To me, those were simply old news. Nevertheless, I wasted little time logging in some little loose changes for my efforts. True enough, the price corrected a little. As the profits are too small 🦐 to speak of, I have to simply sit through the options expiry... but tha

$Elixir Energy Ltd(EXR.AU)$ September has not been a great month for me. Just some weeks ago, I thought I could still ride this through... As of yesterday, with the month winding down, I must be truthful to myself. September is most likely a down month. I have existed most tech companies, and that probably explains why this is a down month. The US indices have been doing well after all. The hyperscalers running the AI related trades have been moving up. I have shifted a little heavy towards precious metals group (was positioned, but have added even more along the way).  The other thing I did lately was also to increase my shorts on semiconductors index! No, I didn't follow the big shorts into taking the positioning. It was an accumulation

$Silvercorp Metals Inc(SVM)$ As shared last week, this week provides more clarity... It's Friday. Do you see it? [Tongue]  As expected (though I didn't say), the Fed raised its rate... and the market? Growth stocks, bitcoin led cryptocurrency, precious metals group led by silver flew!? If this is not clarity, what is... It is actually a strange sense of clarity... Like a humour only this human world 🌍 can bring... a dark humour of sorts. Why do I say that? Yes, the US Fed raised rate and expects to raise rate 1-2 times more this year. Companies with high borrowing pay more interest at higher rates (looking at you, growth stocks [Glance]  [Smug]  [Sweats]  ) With AI led expenditures by hyperscalers, thei

$WHITE CLIFF MINERALS LTD(WCN.AU)$ I do not need Gina Rinehart to tell there's money to be make in copper mining... I have been following this sleepy miner for some time... just takes the richest woman in Australia to send it into a frenzy... I have time on my side. She has no magic and no premium should be attributed to her participation... to her, it's just loose change anyway... maybe to show off to her estranged son, who has been a board member for some time now... be patient and wait for our turn... 

The obvious answer is C, which most of the replies suggest. The answer only becomes obvious if an individual gains more experience with investing. However, the answer could also be found in the write-up, under “A margin account is better suited to users who can… A newcomer likely won’t understand how margin works; not to mention understand account risk (if not, how is one to monitor?); meeting margin call requires one to understand what that means to begin with; if one is new to investment, one doesn’t know ones risk tolerance, so price swings would be a whole new overwhelming ball game; finally, who comes into investing expecting to take losses? It’s a totally big ask to seek repayment financing plan then… so you get the gist… margin accounts are not for everyone despite the obvious uses

$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$  it's never enough... at least not yet... I am topping up slowly, perhaps a little too slow to my liking. However, I am also keenly aware that buying into a leveraged short bet, only sufficient buffer would do the job. Something just can't be rushed. This is not the first time I have advocated getting insurance for this time period. There are a couple of things going on, all interconnected. The commonality? Trump-led US mess. Many people sing his praises... for various reasons. I do too, although a little out of tune, for the chaos he created for the world. No, there is no anger in my voice, just incredulously dumbfounded... War with Iran, tariffs for "friends of

$Silvercorp Metals Inc(SVM)$ It has not been a good week for precious metals group related investments. It has been a strange one though. One that I had struggled to hold above water with my current positioning of neutrality. I guess I have weighed too heavily towards precious metals and critical metals. $Silvercorp Metals Inc(SVM)$ is still going strong despite the week's mayhem. With the active war between US and Iran, oil prices have been rising, raising the prospect of global inflationary pressure. EU has just raised its interest rate. Japan, Australia and probably US are all expected to raise their interest rates to combat inflation. Strangely, technology companies' share

$ECHOIQ LTD(EIQ.AU)$ It has been 5-6 days since the announcement by EIQ that FDA didn’t approve its application. EchoSolv HF is off for now. 501(k) is supposed to be an easier and faster way to bring EchoSolv HF into the market. However, FDA has apparently cut that path off with the way the objection was raised. Obviously EIQ can still put EchoSolv HF to the market by using a different path (De Novo) for FDA approval. It’s not a preferred way since it would require a lot more time and effort. At least another 12-18 months would probably be required. Given this new unexpected uncertainty, the big crash in its stock price was expected. This is a genuinely difficult situation, and the honest answer is that there is no "safe" price in the traditiona

Replying to @Shernice軒嬣 2000:Errr… who repost 🦞?! [Smug][Glance][Surprised][Doubt][Gosh][OMG]//@Shernice軒嬣 2000: @InverseCramer why your  lobster post is every where?

$ECHOIQ LTD(EIQ.AU)$ This is another company that really test our patience. From the charts, it is becoming apparent that patience amongst the investing/speculatively crowd is wearing out. Those in the know or who has followed my previous posts would know that the company has been waiting for a FDA approval. Many deals have been signed pending this approval, so the FDA approval becomes increasingly weighted. The failure to get approval could spelt a large correction in the company shares price. Originally, the approval was gradually priced-in. However, with the recent reversal of price, approval triggered upside potential has also become a lot more mouthwatering, if there's a better word. From chart perspective, EIQ is showing lots of weak

$AML3D LTD(AL3.AU)$ It has been a while I last shared this company. No... I have not sold a single share... And yes, I have been holding on all the way down... Furthermore, I have been actively adding to my position. Sometimes, we do need drawdown control. However, it is still dependent on individual stocks and individual's objective and outlook for the company of interest. AML3D is a company that I had absolute fate on early in its run. I have been raising my position slowly, resulting in a much higher capital base. For the first time since my initial investment, the price had actually gone below my cost! I have added once or twice since. It's not irrational decision, nor is it for the purpose of averaging down. The corporate front was pretty
