$AAPL 20250314 227.5 CALL$ Decided to play some apple calls last night after ibsaw the sharp sell off. Was waiting to buy a call at the bounce and make a quick snipe. Unfortunately, I misread the volume data, while reading the MACD histogram. I should have waited for confirmation on the volume. Instead I wanted to get in early, and instead bought the fake out and the stock pushed lower.  In red you see where I highlight the fake out, and in green I circled the real volume building, the stock was going down, but volume was steadily building, that should have been my confirmation and I would have bought at 0.25 a contract instead of 0.35, and made 0.13 difference instead of 0.3 Remember people ALWAYS watch the volume care

TL;DR: Alphabet is probably the safest high-growth play in the market right now. Megacaps are definitely not value investment but if you want the stability of megacap but the cheapest one on the market, then Google is your best bet. DCF calculations pit it at a a range of 114-221 $Alphabet(GOOG)$ another bloody red day, Google fell a bit lower to 163. And is now in morningstars range of a fair vakue pick. However I think Google could very well go lower amidst all this fear and the DOJ break up. But in the long term its great at generating FCF, doing share buybacks and is the most intuitive software out there, while LLMs like ChatGPT may compete in the search engine game, not many people know how to use them reliably and many still rely on the eas

$Alphabet(GOOG)$   Market continuing its sell off, however economic data remains unchanged which means all this reaction is future worries over Trump Tarrifs and cost cutting. My view still remains the same, though I'd maybe advise people from choosing options right now and instead pick ordinary shares.  The harsh reality is that Market Movers and institutions control more of the stock market then you, so if they want to force the stock market to move somewhere, there is nothing you or I can do about it.  However the good news is that these guys make their moves pretty short term, 1 to 3 months at max and week to week in their shortest. In the long run, 10 to 30 years the stock market always grows as a whole, so owning shares of com

$TIGR 20250307 6.5 PUT$    Saw tiger reaching 6.5 levels and decided to sell puts there. The good thing is I'm glad I followed my original plans to not just sell puts weekly but to wait for the right price first. I'll be watching these key levels but if the China Market continues to pump, I will be betting that there will be a new floor for this stock around 7 -7.5. Market is in panic right now so proceed with caution. Selling puts is a bullish strategy, for those of you who own stocks, selling calls might be a safer hedge for you in this market.  Im still in the red for my NVDA calls, but I plan on still holding, I'll keep you guys updated. @CaptainTiger &nbs

【Voting Post】$Alphabet(GOOG)$   Trump, Tarrifs and (Global) Tension. The three big Ts, that are the most notorious for pushing down the stock market as of late. Eventhough most companies are reporting earnings within expectations, Trump's economic plan and policy changes has shaken up investors to the point where they are no longer confident in the market. The Fear and Greed Index has been brought down to extreme fear at 22. The last time we were close to these levels was August 5th 2024, and QQQ gapped down to 421.  However flash forward to now, we can see the market reacted irrationally because at the same fear level, QQQ is at 500, with a previous high of 528.  So now that we know the market can react irrational

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ my 3rd Google trade, buying fractional here and there to accumulate. 

$Alphabet(GOOG)$ Opening another Google position, just edge in a bit little by little, don't shoot all your bullets

$Alphabet(GOOG)$   Bought some Google shares but small position 1. Its the only cloud not dependent on Nvidia:  Google Cloud has carved out 11% of the global cloud market, a significant jump from 6% just a few years ago. In 2023, they generated about $33.1 billion in revenue, showing impressive growth and potential. 2. Leader in quantum computing:  Google's "Willow" chip might be a quantum leap. It can tackle problems in minutes that would take even supercomputers 10 septillion(what the heck is the number?) years to solve. 3. Search Domination:  Google still holds over 90% of the search engine market share worldwide. Every day, billions turn to Google first, last, and always. Perplexity? Not even close. Google's still the king,

$GRAB 20250307 4.0 CALL$ so I've been kinds quiet lately because I have been making some bad trades, and didn't want to advertise crappy trades in case anyone watching followed them, however I do want to be transparent and upfront. My return has taken a huge hit mainly because of one of my stocks $Stellantis NV(STLA)$ . I also made a mistake with this Grab call, where I sold too deep and too early, when the stock was only halfway up its recovery, I sold a call at 0.80, when if I had waited a day longer I could have sold at 1.10. It was ITM too so if it had been called away, with my previous option gains I would have just only been break even.  So the second I saw 

$STLA 20250321 15.0 CALL$   Closing my stellantis call that I opened  about 2 weeks ago when the stock was at 13.80, I was hoping market mover would push down the stock before earnings. I miscalculated and the stock remained at 14 and above right up till earnings. But Stellantis released earnings last night and reported a 50% dip in revenue. As expected the stock dropped, in premarket about 1 whole dollar. I decided to close my call at a decent profit, instead of waiting till expiry. I was already expecting a bleak reality to the  expectations, which us why I've been selling calls. I think the stock has further to go down but I'm gonna wait and see before deciding to sell puts or calls. Be sure to stay tuned bec

$TIGR 20250228 7.0 PUT$   Closing 3rd contract 

$TIGR 20250228 7.0 PUT$   Closing 2nd contract

$TIGR 20250228 7.0 PUT$ bought back my tiger put that I sold last week, when stock dipped to 7 dollars. I knew the stock had been oversold, with 2 straight days of selling. Judging from the EMA and volume analysis, I determined that there wouldn't be much more room to go down, and that Market Movers would be looking to scoop up the stock. It was a risky bet selling so close and I made the mistake of trying to fight the price so ended with 0.26 premium for 3 contracts. The following day Tiger stock fell even more and my position was ITM, but I did not panic because my conviction was strong. And even if was wrong. I would get assigned and own shares of s company I didn't mind holding. 7 is not the price I would buy at but don't m

$Hershey(HSY)$ HUAT AH! Decided to take profit on my Hershey holdings. I bought it at an undervalued valuation, but also was prepared for the stock to go down further and I would buy more, however the opposite has happened and the stock has gone up a lot. Now the global cocoa crisis has not changed, but perhaps market outlook on consumer spending has changed, with the Trump tax cuts well on their way and News about a possible $5000 tax refund on the way to every American citizen, its entirely possible that this could be a great year for retail spending. Considering how one of the reasons why Hershey went down was because of market fear over how people cutting back would cut back on luxury food stuffs like chocolates, this seems to be a reversal of

$TIGR 20250221 7.5 PUT$ now this was a risky play, since Tiger has been a really volatile stock, and I think 6.5 or 7.0 is the long term bottom for Tiger. But 7.5 is good for the short term. The market clearly wants to invest in on the Singaporean Brokerage market and they are willing to pay a premium for it. So I expect Tiger shares to stay up for a fair bit, I don't like buying shares at this price, and I'm not comfortable doing naked calls either. So I'll be selling puts at lower strikes. If it expires ITM and I get assigned, I don't mind holding onto these shares because I can always like selling options on shares that move a lot. $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  

$GRAB 20250221 5.0 CALL$ Taking profit on my final grab call of the week. In total I did 2 calls in the same week. 1 at Monday Open when stock hit 52 week high, then closed after the dip. Then I saw that the sell off was extreme and knew that the following day the market would buy the dip. So sold another call, but used a GTC order which I think is important for Singapore traders, we cant stay up late at night monitoring the market. This time instead of closing I decided to see how the option would decay as the week came to an end.  On Friday the option was bouncing between 0.15 and 0.05 and I decided that 90% profit is more than enough, didn't want to risk the chance of market pumping last minute and having to sell

$Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ I bought Grab shares yesterday at the high and sold a covered call at 5.5 then when the stock fell took profit, waited for the rebound and sold a deeper call, 5.0 strike because I wanted to hedge my position and lower my venture cost. In total I manged too reduce my cost to 4.77 and with a 3 day strike at 5.0 this is an acceptable capped profit of 0.23. If the stock falls before expiry, then I'm hedged until 4.77 and I shall sell more calls. Here's why I think in the short term I can make a decent profit and that my trade is safe. Options Market Signals Implied Volatility: 104.6% (extremely high), reflecting expectations of sharp price swings. Call/Put Ratio: 7.29 (bullish bias), with heavy call volume at $5.0 and $5.5 strik

$GRAB 20250221 5.0 CALL$ this was my second call I opened at a lower strike ITM in order to secure my profit. I dint mind my shares being called away since I do not want to lose money on this trade.

$GRAB 20250221 5.5 CALL$   sold a call on grab high kast night. Have been monitoring the stock for a while and it's gradual increase from 52 week low. The sudden jump made me think there would be quick correction at open, and sure enough there was, I bought shares and closed this call and later reopened another call to lock in my profit and hedge myself. I will share my inheritance trades soon.
