$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ 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.

$TSLA 20241220 160.0 PUT$ So in my journey to understand options, I'm doing well on buying calls, betting on Winners. This is just a demo trade so please don't be alarmed, no real money lost. But I think I have learned a valuable lesson here.  Don't bet on something that even while you believe the stock is going to drop like a stone, other factors come into play. namely, too many big investors are in on it, and while they might be less bullish, there is no way they are getting out cause there's too much skin in the game. For now, I'll stick to buying call options, and will continue to hone my skills at betting on losers on the demo platform. This is truly a great part of the tiger trading platform. You really can test you

All I can say is... Nuts! I mentioned in an earlier post that I spent over 6 months trying to understand options trading. Found this fantastic brokerage called tiger trade and started putting my learning into practice on the demo account. now I have put real coin to work. And... it's working. @Barcode @Barcode @SPACE ROCKET @xXxZealandxXx @TigerClub @MillionaireTiger @Tiger_chat

Why will this stock 10x in the next two years $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$  Ok so here we go, my evidence to support why Rklb stock price is going to the moon... 1. The company recently announced the appointment to the board of Lt. general Armagno who retired from the DOD recently and was in charge of space forces. Hmmm I wonder if she knows people who make the big decisions about DOD space contracts going forward? But more on that in a bit.  2. New Zealand has recently been added to US military trade laws. What's that about? well America can buy foreign military technology but it won't share strategicly important information with other countries. Now a lot of the rocket lab development happens in the USA but a lot also occurs in NZ, the

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Well, my very first paycheck was mowing my grandmothers 1/4 acre section with a push mower. Took me over four hours but i got $10. That was 43 years ago, but $2.50 per hour back then was pretty fantastic for an 11yo. Oh wait, i had to weed her garden too, would have taken me 30 mins max, but each weed required approval from grandma to confirm it was a weed, so it took 2 hours. Funny the things you remember. And compulsory hot tea breaks, with snacks also reduced my hourly rate. But grandma was happy cause i spent the day with her, and mum was even happier cause i didn't spend the day with her, and i was happy, because i had $10 cold hard cash.  But what did i spend my loot on... well four lollies back then was 1 cent, so

YOU WORK HARD FOR YOUR MONEY, SO LET SOME OF THAT MONEY WORK HARD FOR YOU  So, I'm a bit of a contrarian watching stocks and trading daily it's a lot of fun, especially if you make a winning trade. But what about investing in stocks that you don't have to watch. Cash flow is king right. As a fundamental investor you are looking for a stock that is cash flow positive and has growing returns. So as an investor, well shouldn't you have the same expectation of yourself? Day trading is a great way to bring in cash on a daily basis, but it requires a lot of effort. Way more effort than just analysing one stock, deciding it's great and just holding it and perhaps setting up an auto investment so it's A set and forget kinda deal.  Don't get me wrong I like a little excitement,but I also

Oh my buying calls in $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Is really paying dividends:)

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ Glad I got in before the split, no where near as impressive as other tigers, but I'm pleased I decided to buy tickets before the split. Emotions running high in this stock, i think it will go well until after the split, then human nature will take over and there will be a new "best thing" But I'm happy to be on the ride for the moment 

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,

Ok here's a thought. Since the 1920s the S&P has delivered an annualised return of around 9%. Some years it hasn't but on average it's 9% plus. So why would you sell it ever? Well I guess if you brought it cheap, and now it's expensive, one reason to sell some would be because it's overweight in your portfolio and maybe you have something that "mite" perform better.  But that's a big mite. $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ Is at record highs, and continues to bounce. My perspective is that I'm not overweight, so I have no compelling need to sell. If it drops significantly I would just buy more, funds permitting. If you have the luxury of time in the market then there is no need to sell anything that is good. Investing in stocks is a long ter

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Oh boy, back on the topic of Tesla. If you follow me, you know I'm not on the Tesla fan base, for one... I love a V8. And batteries, well I don't mind them on a drill or a rattle gun but not on my drop saw or bench saw.  But even though I cringe pretty much every time Elon posts anything, because it's words that don't get followed up with actions, I have to concede one overwhelming factor in Elon's favour. My father fought in WW2 he was a signal man on a British mine sweeping boat on D day, his ship was torpedoed, he was wounded but the ship was able to limp back to port. nothing close to what American soldiers faced that day though. Anyway my point is... regarding Americans (he called you guys yanks) he said "Yanks... wh

$RKLB 20260116 5.0 CALL$ Ok so in the last two posts i talked about how im using options as well as the underlying stock. If you thought i was being silly with my goals... well maybe you can see it is realistic. Thankyou to all that follow me, just sharing the love guys. I am obsessed with this stock. As you know it as well as i do, you quickly realize that Wall Street is really clueless, not profitable yet, going up against space x, traditional bohemian space companies, and billionaires. But i am the emotional investor. What i see is laziness, Wall Street analysts are stuck in a cave, looking at reflections of reality on their cave walls, rather than making the effort to stand up, leave the cave and see reality. Human behavior

$Apple(AAPL)$ Once you buy Mac, you never go back, it's a very old saying.  I remember back to my first year in uni, computer studies was one course, half the course was on Mac's, the other was ibm. IBM and dos seriously sucked. Macs were amazing. And then ibm made a seriously brilliant strategic move, licensed out their tech so that the price came down significantly below apple. Everyone went android (as its now called) inferior but affordable. When windows came along, well it still sucked big time. But it was still cheap comparatively.  Now android is fantastic, but I jumped ship on them when I was financially able to buy the better product. An example, I brought my first apple desktop in 2004, it wasn't cheap back then it was $2,700,

$NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ Ok so why am I investing in NEP. Simple really, it's a fantastic dividend stock that recently declared it may not be able to keep increasing dividends in the near term due to higher interest rate costs. It tumbled on that news and is yet to recover. But wait a minute, they just said they mite not be able to maintain increasing Their dividend, but they didn't say were reducing it. They just said short term interest rate headwinds mean they won't be increasing the dividend. But it's a bloody good dividend currently 14.39% paid quarterly and it's been paying and increasing dividends consistently for around 10 years. Once again as an emotional investor I see a bargain that investors have oversold because they overreact

$Visa(V)$ Least we forget. While everyone is talking about Tesla, GameStop, nvda, obsessively. Im kinda having a Nickelback moment. You know that Canadian rock band with fantastic songs that everyone hates now because their songs were played over and over and over. I'm just over reading post about how great or how terrible Tesla is. And now nvda, is it going to crash now after reaching record highs, or will it reach new highs... quite frankly I've lost interest. I'll just sit on the stock I have, and go three monkeys on it.... see, speak and hear no evil. Maybe instead I should buy more $Costco(COST)$ or $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ Or $

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ I actually sold $Apple(AAPL)$ recently and brought nvidia, why? Apple has been a great stock for me, i own everything apple, but i just don't see the potential for apple to reinvent the wheel in the near term. In contrast, nvidia is providing the parts so that other companies can reinvent the wheel. Why bet on all the horses in a race. Just bet on the company that supplies them with the fuel to do it. Investing to me is thinking outside the square, many companies are jumping on the AI bandwagon. Some will win others will loose. But there's a common theme... nvidia will be the predominant supplier To them all. @Tiger_chat

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ 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

$Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$ Is it a good time to buy gold? Probably not given gold is trading at record highs. Then again with all the economic headwinds at present maybe gold hasn't peaked, and it's still a good buy.  But wait a minute, what about investing in companies that mine for gold. What if some gold mining companies Have not followed the upward trend of gold? Well Santana is an example of this, yes sure the company has been a penny dreadful in the past but it's now trading roughly 50% off recent highs. And it also just announced very promising results from its test drilling in New Zealand. Combine this with the new NZ governments complete reversal for anti to pro mining, and fast tracked resource consent for mining, and there's

Yes, my only shorts atm are on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ And only on my demo account. Because, well there are to many variables. I have brought calls with real coin though $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ If you have read my other posts you will quickly see I think it's going to go Stella, but I'm just predominantly picking up jan 2026 calls, because it might still take a while, or it might not, so I also have a few October 2024 calls. The market is a tricky beast to understand, logic doesn't always win, especially in the short term.  But back to Tesla, my read is it's all bad news. All cyber trucks recalled with the accelerator Pedal issue, Tesla 3 cars recalled, with the software issue, EV sales revised dow

I don't know about once in a lifetime event, in retrospect I could name a number of stocks that "if only I'd brought them then". But I'm sure most of us have played that depressing game.  To find a once in a lifetime stock, well you need to be insanely good at reading the tea leaves. I mean I purchased $Citigroup(C)$ And $Bank of America(BAC)$ last year during the banking crisis. They were both super cheap so it was a no brainer. They are both up over 50% annualised as i write this, which is nice. But then other people write how they are up over 300% and my excitement kinda goes flaccid.  I mean I have had a few once in a lifetime experiences. In the late 1990s and early 2000s The New Zealand g
