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,

Great analysis 

A lot of comparisons are starting to be made between $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ and space X. But are they really comparable? Let's begin with rockets. Rklb has electron, small lift, dedicated, and precision insertion. Space X has nothing like this. But space x does have starship. while it's still in development, rklb has nothing like it. Starship Does present a major concern though regarding the IPO. Investors want returns. Starship, is a whale with an absolutely insane cash appetite. Going to the moon and mars seem to lack a business case unless government steps in hugely. so while the ipo might rocket initially, I will be assessing the long term impact of the starship strategy once i get some concrete numbers. they both have medium lift rocket

$IREN Ltd(IREN)$ ok so just shared 3 stocks that have returned between 100% to 1700% returns. Been in them all for well over a year. This one, only finished my DD and brought in October this year. And it's down. Oh dear, how sad, never mind. I don't expect instant gratification on any stocks I buy. I buy a few, then accumulate as I better understand the value proposition. if there could be only one, that's my one for 2026. I'm always thinking 6 months to 5 years out. 6 mths til its actually meeting a point where it's profitable for me, but 5 plus years when it's made a fortune for me. DCA on Iren is around $50, currently trading at $42, so I'm buying at $42. All the planets are in alignment for me on this stock. Just as they were for

$BlackSky Technology Inc.(BKSY)$ Yet one more example of a stock I spent a lot of time gaining knowledge on, and I'm doing well. Avoid the nonsense, like it's up because it's a space stock, and it's being driven by a potential space X ipo. Hype is hype for a reason. It's a solid business going forward. Great products, solid management and a sound business model. 

$AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ average DCA on this one is $25. It was less, but I've added on the way up. Doubtful I will add more this month cause it's hitting record highs. And its volatile. We have of course had commentators pointing to a Santa rally in early December. Then saying it was over, and a few days later saying it's in full swing again. And now those same commentators are warning of the January effect. Actually this January stocks did well, it was the February effect where stocks got smashed. So it's all just total crap.  Personally I will be calling out the idiots to a much greater extent next year. My rules are simple, find a great stock. Know everything you can about it, and buy more when people talk utter nonsense about it.&nb

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ my biggest issue with the company is not that it's peaked, this is just the beginning. The next catalyst will be their neutron rocket reaching orbit next year and having a partially successful re entry. If they do it in H1 next year, the stock will jump again. If it's delayed into H2, well I'm perfectly happy with that, I think that's more realistic. But it would put downward pressure on the stock if it doesn't launch til H2. I run a margin account here in tiger, so my only issue with Rklb is volatility. To be fair when it goes from $42 to $77 in under a few weeks it plays havoc on my portfolio. Now I'm once again in a position where I mite have to trim. Not because I want to, it's just repeating earlier "problems". It

$Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ I find it interesting that the best articles I write here about losses always do way better than wins. And VG is my worse performing stock ever In tiger trade. And yet I'm adding. Am i flogging a dead horse? Ok let's revisit my assumptions. I started a position in VG in the $15 range, it's dropped as low as the mid $5, and is now it's mid $6 pre trading today. Not a good result. Bloody awful actually. have I been buying it? Yes, why, we will get to that next paragraph. But my DCA is now $10, I keep buying it... bring on the next paragraph. Venture global is the largest exporter of LPG in the USA. Soon to be the largest in the world frankly. They got greedy maybe in 2022, sold a lot of gas on the spot market for approximate

I'm just doing what I do, buying stocks every week when I get paid. Learning everything I possibly can every day, and adding intel to spreadsheets. Today I was diving into $IREN Ltd(IREN)$, $PayPal(PYPL)$.  Not much uncovered on either but a little more color on both. With Iren it was their capped call capital raise that has them reporting at GAAP profit for Q4 of over $600 million, in paper profits. Capped call capital raises are totally mis reported. Commentators always throw up their hands crying wolf, screaming shareholder dilution. But they are so wrong.  I'll simplify, but Iren raised just over 1 billion issuing new shares, but used part of the money raised to basically buy calls. These ca

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ So approximately 2 years ago I wrote my first article about this company. Back then it was trading at around $4. Had a few people replying to my post that were not... let's just say, they were not enthusiastic. You can actually scroll back and see that post. I presented a thesis outlining why it was about to go nuts. And it did. From $4 to $15, then $30, then $40.  Now at market close on Friday, it's around $74. Hmmm. It's been a very volatile stock this year, a few weeks ago it was in the $40s. Why? Because most don't get it. I love that. I live in New Zealand, takes me 45 mins to drive to their composite facility in Warkworth NZ, 2 hours to drive to their production facility in mount Wellington, NZ. About 8 hour

ATTENTION ALL GRANDPARENTS  (And anyone else with limited funds to invest) So about 2 1/2 year's ago (July the 4th, 2023 to be exact). I decided to set up a share fund for my two grandchildren. Why? Well as a parent I tried to do it for my three children when they were young, but things always came up and needed money. I figured this was the same for my daughter, and frankly I'm 55 now, my daughter is 25, and I'm way more disciplined.  So 2.5 years ago I put $100 into separate brokerage accounts for both grandchildren, every single week since, a mere $5 goes in. Not a significant sum at all. and birthdays and Christmas a bit xtra.  the litte ones were under 5 when I started so that determined my investment thesis. Mainly dividend growth stocks, not great dividend returns sor
