To The Moon

$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,

Um so by q4 2026, Iren is predicting revenue from bitcoin mining of around 1 billion, and revenue from Ai hosting of around 3 billion. And as an example it has long term contracts in place with Microsoft worth round 9 billion with a prepayment of over 1 billion from Microsoft in cash last month.  Iren was a bitcoin miner as a means to build infrastructure for Ai, calling it a bitcoin miner going forward is quite frankly idiotic 

Only up 26% YTD this year so far, it’s been a roller coaster ride for sure. Feb and November were punishing. My biggest lesson learned is not to listen to all the nonsense. Fact check everything! The other major lesson is to throw less at highly volatile growth stocks and instead balance my portfolio with more in solid plodders with little to no volatility

$Main Street Capital(MAIN)$ 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

Actually, this article kinda hits the nail on the head. It's not an Ai bubble at all, it's a supply issue, too much demand, outstrips supply.  So, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ wins, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ wins. Other companies like $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ and $Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$ also win. It's so far from a crisis, it's an amazing opportunity 

Oh dear, $2 billion convertible notes. Stock dilution OR more favorable terms going forward? I love this type of utter stupidity. But I'll take a look at it in more detail over the next day or so, and draw conclusions based on fact over knee jerk reactions 

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
