$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Hmmm, well I'm going to answer this question in a long winded way, but please bear with me. Christmas to me is about family, being with Family and it's not about presents, it's sharing a joyous moment in time Together. But I am the emotional investor, well I'm actually an intelligent investor... my book shelves are full of books by David Dodds, Ben graham and Warren buffet, but I digress. I generally focus on intelligent investing rather than emotional investing, cause it's easier to explain. But this post will give you insight into emotional investing. So, family is like stocks. You sit at the Christmas table, having brought and cooked the turkey and the ham and look at the family that has come. Emotionally some have been ve

$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ back in Schd! Sold off this etf over a year ago, because I decided to focus on higher yield dividend stocks. But seriously the price has dropped sooo much I just had to get back in. There is no logical reason I can see for the dramatic drop. Only brought a small position yesterday while i fact check and make sure I'm not missing anything.  But it seems crazy cheap given the diversification it provides. I don't like a couple of the stocks Schd is in, but overall way more great and safe dividend stocks. I will likely DCA in over the next two months while the market is quiet. Schd used to make up roughly 4% of my portfolio, unlikely I'll put that much in, but I could see investing up to $1000 in the nex

I know, I know, everyone is making money on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Except me. Because I don't like it. Good on you if you did invest and are making a bomb. But I do not like green eggs and ham, and wouldn't try them sam I am. I have a v6 v-dub convertable running 96 octane that I run on sports mode most of the time. It burns gas and oil like an Abrams tank and I love it! Screw sensible electric cars. Keep your environmentally unfriendly batteries, and buy more Tesla stock all you want lol. it's just not my thing. Happy trading and merry Christmas everyone, looks like so far Santa has been very selective on the stocks he's making presents out of, but hopefully everything rallies before C-Day. @Daily_

Easy answer $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  I make my living with tiger, without you guys I have no income. I buy calls in growth stocks, sell some of them for income and reinvesting in income stocks and the underlying growth stock. Then rinse and repeat. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ is another stock that tells me anything I need answers to, although often the info is rubbish so you need to be selective.  $Apple(AAPL)$ My iPhone, iPad and desktop Mac are essential. The only other company I can't live without is actually not a company Per say, it's the t-shirt of the company. Every time I wear that t-shirt the stock goes up. Only once or twice a week at most do I wear the sh

I really wish people would do there DD on stuff rather than just jump in with their eyes wide shut. little wonder so many fail to make money stock investing. I actually make money as the pick below illustrates. Ok $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Is a great company, with buckets of cash, the willow investment is a tiny tiny drop in their cash buckets. is the willow chip a breakthrough? Sort of, it's a major milestone in a process that, according to my research could easily take another 10 years to come to market. So would I jump on other speculative quantum stocks? No, I'm not bag holding them for 10 years, potentially losing everything On the journey. Please everyone, engage your brain before you open your wallet ;)

Just because a company is entering a new index doesn't mean it will go up automatically, but it usually does. I believe you also need to look at the fundamentals. And here $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is my obvious choice, yes it's insanely expensive but it also has insane growth potential. My only regret today is that I don't have the spare money to buy more

Really missed the boat on $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Only got in when it reached the mid $60's. Started looking at it when it was trading at $26, still didn't understand it when it topped $46, but now can see the massive upside. Nasdaq inclusion it's just a small catalyst compared to the stocks huge growth potential. Only have a small position atm, but I will just keep DCA in over time.  Why not go all in? Well it's extremely expensive with alot of the future growth potential already Priced in, so I'll just try to buy the dips if they happen.

How to trade in December? Great question, i did well in November my portfolio ended up almost $37.5k. First day of trading in December really sucks though if you look at the pick below. But its the stock market, what happens each day is irrelevant, unless of course you get into a margin call situation.  But today just reminds me, what goes up can come down. I have quite a few calls open, ill look to realise those this month as the price is right, and push some of that profit into my dividend engines, that fuel the cash flows in my portfolio. I took serious risks this year, and made serious returns. But not going to test it. 2025 will be a little more conservative until i find the right investments. Made a tonn on very good picks. But they are expensive comparatively to where they were

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Well today was a bit painful after the meteor ride rocket lab has taken over the last few months. But with an average price of $4.32 im not really bothered. Options market is stll pricing It around $27 by the end of December. And its bouncing back in after hours trading. Main reason for the drop seems to be ARk investment selling down, wouldn't surprise me if they are buying it back now. They move in and out constantly, and you can see the consistent 100 Buy and sell orders moving up and down the price spectrum. It's highly volatile because last time i checked there was only 501 million shares on issue. So if you are a day trader, there's opportunities. It often goes up significantly in after hours trading, opens high,

I don't speculate. Never, speculation is for sheep. Sorry if i offend, but the stats clearly show that most retail day traders loose money... google it lol. Instead i know everything i possibly can about a stock before i invest, once i know everything, i just buy a tiny stake. Then increase my position if my investment thesis proves correct, if not i cut my loss. And of course, i keep researching the stock. There is only one of me, so I can't follow a huge number of stocks, so i also invest in ETFs like $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ And $Vanguard Growth ETF(VUG)$ Just to tick the diversity box. Buts lets answer the question posed, if I don't speculate, how do i invest? Three main aspects here. First, i ca
