$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ Ok so this was the very first options trade I wrote, over a month ago. As you can see I went long, jan 2026, and paid $2.50 for a $2 Right to buy. I have a huge amount of confidence in rocket lab going forward and my intention for this call is to hold it and excise it. Well that was my original intention. But woot, it's now officially in the money today. I'm clearly a bunny when it comes to options. And loving the comments I get from you guys that help me to expand my knowledge. I'm thinking and have actually since this first option trade... looked to cheaper and shorter term trades, but I'm pleased to see the first one, and actually all of my calls so far being in positive territory now. But this trade

Yes I'll be looking to buy more, but not the stock more likely calls. The other item that has come to my attention is that nvidias new AI chips are apparently very very greedy on power, so maybe another long term play is power stocks. Look at where data centres are concentrated and buy into power companies that support those areas. This is going to take some research but I think it's worth it. @Tiger_chat @TigerPM @Daily_Discussion @TigerPicks 

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,

$Main Street Capital(MAIN)$ so it's a dividend stock. Pretty much all my dividend stocks have been rubbish this year. But still better than money in a bank account. I invest in dividend stocks cause they give me cash flow and are not volatile. Unlike my growth stocks that are extremely volatile in the short term, but give significant returns. I trade with margins so the dividend stocks have saved me from margin calls numerous times.  My philosophy is simple, it's like the very old fable. The tortoise and the hare. Place money on the tortoise, it's slow, but it's steady. So it's safer. The hare might get there fast with a 10x in under a year, but it could easily crash and burn.  Then again, nothing is truly Safe. All investments have risk

So, over the last few days several companies I invest in have "diluted" shareholders. But as the emotional investor, I dive beneath the headlines of impending doom to uncover what's really going on. First up was $Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$. They recently announced a new capital raise and some commentators were quick to call it a significant dilution of shareholders. But was it? Actually NO! The new funds from the so called "dilution" will be used to repay funds from a previous capital raise, with a longer time horizon, and at significantly better interest rates. So it not bad, it's not a dilution, it's a financial restructure on way more favorable terms. Sadly fake news is rife. And I'm not sure who is worse. The people that write articles

So gold has been interesting, I invested in $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$ at the beginning of this year. Well it's listed on the New Zealand stock exchange too cause it's mining gold in New Zealand, but my fellow tigers, well you can't invest in New Zealand stock,  but you can invest in the Australian version so all good.  Santana in New Zealand has the rights to mine gold, but very early days. All the reports look fantastic, but no income yet. And huge returns are years away. It's up over 50% for me, so I trimmed. I will take out all my initial investment and just play the house on stuff like this. Gold has been a terrible idea for a few decades, but now it's great.  So what did I do with the profits? History repeats. Silver fol

Personally, I'd like December to stay flat. November was nasty for my portfolio. But I'm not about one or two months. I am the emotional investor, most follow the Vix, and listen to the daily nonsense. I just look at the fundamentals of a company, particularly its management, and strategy going forward. My biggest issue right now is generating more income to buy more shares in amazing companies that will go insane. Not daily, not monthly, but a year from now

Regardless of meeting the $4 trillion mark, google is a solid bet long term. I Don’t know a single person that doesn’t use google daily

It’s check mate for the click bait Ai bubble enthusiasts. Spinning fiction over fact. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is solid going forward so is $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$. There is no factual material that supports a bubble. Expensive they were, now not so much. But look at the value chain. It’s not just chip manufacturers, it’s the data centers buying their chips and the companies supplying power to the data centers. And even the infrastructure companies that support the power companies. This is a no brainer for me. Two years ago for me it was $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$. Average PP is still at $4.30 ish. I’m all in on the best space companies, and Ai and Ai related stocks

So $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has pretty much "learned" all the click bait commentators waffling on about the so call Ai bubble. As I said in one of my articles yesterday just pure speculation over fact. The facts presented themselves earlier today when Jensen said that they have sold out of High end chips. But to me this was well telegraphed. That's why I pretty much ignore Most analysts and market commentators. I listen to the industry and the companies. And actually a lot of writers here in tiger trade, who actually know the facts. But today I want to address another one of the stupid concepts being circulated by the sheep of Wall Street, Ai chip depreciation. This keeps recirculating as an argument to support an Ai bubble. The fact that the big Ai compute

A perplexing question, will $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ "save" the market? One major assumption here... so I will answer this question with a question. Is the market rational? The odds would suggest that NVDA will beat market expectations as it normally does. They have a track record of beats. Plenty of examples of companies like $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ Buying their chips going forward. Demand for Ai compute going forward is unprecedented, and supply is seriously constrained.  But the matrix aka the stock market, is full of people taking the red pill rather than the blue pill, or is it the other way round. Doesn't really matter, let me complicate things. Plato in his book, the republic wrote of the cave. This is where m

Are market commentators really stupid, lazy or a combination of both? I ask this question because there have been a large number of commentaries on bitcoin in the Last few days considering whether bitcoin is heading south or north. But many commentators have lumped $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ (iris energy) Into this debate because it's a bit coin miner right? WRONG! So I asked Ai a simple question. How is $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ going in its strategic shift from a bitcoin miner into a Ai compute provider. The results are provided in the pic below.  so in less than 30 seconds it's clear, at least according to google, that Iren is not a bitcoin miner going forward. its actually well down the track to convert all bitcoin

So, ive been doing a lot of DD on $Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$ over the last few weeks. Basically it’s a battery manufacturing company in the USA. They make zinc batteries at scale now in America. Unlike lithium batteries that Tesla use that are imported from china, zinc batteries don’t have a fire risk, or a lot of other cost issues. Their products are old school but modernized to be cheap and more efficient than lithium. So perfect with a serious competitive advantage over other power storage options, particularly regarding solar and wind power storage solutions. So I’m 100% in on their products, and their potential competitor advantage. But sadly that’s where it ends. Their past financials are terrible. Their ability to get favorable bor

If you follow me, you know I'm not a Tesla fanboy. But let's face facts, Tesla has basically unlimited capital until it doesn't. But let's look at the broader picture of the Elon musk empire. Beginning with spacex, well it's the undisputed leader in launch, falcon nine is a machine on steroids, but $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ new neutron could eventually be a better option. In like five years. And while starship is very impressive, well it just keeps blowing up, while blue origin, granted smaller rocket, but its now had one success after one failure. For me though there is plenty of room for all three, given the potential market for launch going forward. But it will be heavily influenced by action over hype. I'm not convinced that a strategy of b

I have to ask the obvious question here. Does it really matter. In my country, government basically shuts down for two months around Christmas and new year. They also shut down for a few months during the election cycle. Yet business moves forward regardless. What value do politicians actually add? Well certainly a lot of hot air and political nonsense. But where is the value? If all farmers shut down for two months over Christmas, whoops, no milk, no grain, therefore no cereal, no bread, no meat. the world would starve. Politicians get paid regardless of being idiots or actually being competent. The farmers that supply food to everyone have a harsh reality. They live or die based on what nature hands them. And if they take a few months off, well they don't get paid. 

So I did buy into a gold stock earlier this year $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$. Actually not because I thought gold prices were going to go nuts. I brought it because I really like the companies potential 5 plus years out. Will it go to $5,000, no clue really, it's underperformed for decades. but the stock is up just under 60% for me so I did what do.  I trimmed. Took out the initial investment today actually. So now it's not my money, it's the houses money. So I'm just trading with the paper profits. If gold goes up, fantastic. If it goes down, well I will be sad, but I will still sleep at night.  If you follow me you will know I'm not a big player. just over two years ago I started with $10,000 (Redundancy payment). But I have been

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ so pretty much on a daily basis we get bull and bear stories on AI related stocks. But what is the reality? Well my reality is not based on market commentators or analysts opinions. Because they are not accountable. Often sadly their articles are based solely on click bait. When the ceo of a company comes out and says something, like they expect profits to triple, well I trust that. Why? Because they CAN be held accountable if they intentionally mislead.  In the investment game, knowledge based on fact over opinions rules. I'm betting on AI and space being the next best thing since sliced bread was invented. Space remains the final frontier. And Ai looks like the new Industrial Revolution. But are both over hyped

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ yes I know it's expensive. When I finally pulled the trigger after months of deliberation it had gone from the $30 range to $69. Brought some more around $90 and a few more around $120. Trading today off its highs I still like it at $180.  It's PE is just insane, but going thru the latest earnings, well it's just a cash machine going forward. my belief is that long term it could easily be part of the magnificent 7. So I'll just keep accumulating it.  For me personally, paying say $200 per share is not a huge problem risk wise, cause my dca is still under $100, and I have trimmed it at several points to the extent that I have none of my initial capital in it Anymore. It's all just pure profits.  It'

So I would suggest the biggest question on many investors minds with $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and actually any other stocks that hit record highs is, should I buy it now at record highs or wait til it dips a bit? But will it dip Or go even higher. If I don't get in now will I miss out, or if it does dip will I regret buying it at today's price. Well guys and girls, I have the answer to all these questions... Where is this stock that's reached record highs going? Not tomorrow, next week or next month. Where is it going a year or five years from now. Not an easy question to answer, it requires a huge amount of research. But anyone that says making money on the stock market is easy, is full of you know what.  To uncover if a company is going to 10x for ex
