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,

$Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ Forgot oil, go LNG 

$Canadian Natural Resources(CNQ)$ A new position, record profits, nice increase in dividend plus buybacks looming worth a look 

I think you guys like me trolling a little bit. Not really trolling though just teaching ppl that words must be backed with experience and fact. Happy reading 

Sadly, I brought some bitcoin recently. It's speculative nonsense using jargon to hide it's worthlessness. I know fanboys love it, but they probably also watch you tube shorts of silly girls showing off as much skin as they can to promote their only fans channel.  So why did I bother buying it? Simple. I own a lot of $IREN Ltd(IREN)$  it's a data center, and power infrastructure company. fantastic management, awesome products with a serious moat going forward. But it was a bitcoin miner. it kinda still is short term, but they used the return on bitcoin mining to build out their infrastructure to supply Ai compute. Bitcoin is like 0.000001% of my portfolio.  I am the emotional investor. I love it when people are lazy and or stup

Seriously! Using the term dead cat bounce to describe what mite be coming shows you have no idea what a dead cat bounce is. So let me educate you. In 1986, I started my investment journey in stocks. In 1987, I survived a real dead cat bounce... barely. But by the end of 1988, I was still in the red. The aftermath of the dead cat bounce was companies I owned going bankrupt or being brought out for pennies on the dollar. so the pain didn't just last a few days. It lasted over a year. In around august of 1987, the market peaked at all time highs, the s&p almost hit 340. the weeks that followed were a "normal" retraction, until on a Friday in October the s&p lost 10% in a day. Not just a few stocks, the entire market. Then the following Monday... black Monday, stocks across the board d

Well, in my humble opinion J.P. Morgan is lies. Don't trust their words, trust their actions. And silver compared to gold is a tiny market, so it's way easier to manipulate, if you have a few billion to throw at the silver market easy to manipulate. If you want to play silver, expect major manipulation going forward. If like me you don't have billions but hundreds. Well you are a peasant. To understand that is very important.  Understand that silver is an industrial commodity. Gold is not a commodity, it's actually currency. Gold is a hedge against dollars that get printed, and get devalued by inflation also. The future of money is not the American dollar, it's buggered. What is happening right now is not bitcoin, an interesting idea but nonsense. Gold is the new currency, actually th

Thoughts on oil and gas

I would be very cautious investing in oil and gas at present. Having said this, I recently put money on $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ , $Chevron(CVX)$  and a few Canadian oil and gas stocks. I've also been in $Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$  for a while now, but for different reasons... massive growth potential there. So I've been getting into oil and gas stocks because I saw a nice cyclical play there. Over time I saw it as a smoothing hedge to my more volatile stocks. I had a plan to just DCA into them over the next year. The over the weekend missles started flying. This could cause oil shortages short term. That mite put pressure on oil prices short

My take on gold and silver

So I've been blathering on about gold and silver since the beginning of this year. So I am in $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$  which is a silver mining company, it mines silver and gold and pays a dividend. Last year I also brought $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$ and $SILVER MINES LTD(SVL.AU)$  these are both pre mining companies. The former is a gold miner in New Zealand, the latter is silver miner in Australia. Both are yet to obtain the permits to mine, but are well down the track. Plus both Countries are very stable. Not sure I'd buy a mining company based in Mexico atm by comparison. Ok so all their proven gold and silver reserve
