$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,
$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ It mite dip a bit more, then again it mite fly. Lets face it, retail investors have zero control. Its the bigs that determine the price. You can watch then manipulate stocks every day buying or selling 100 stocks a pop every second then pop 2k+ when the stock hits the desired price. Nvidia has a destiny, and that destiny is up. So my strategy is just to keep buying as funds permit. Its the big fish atm, but i find smaller fish taste better in the long run. So nvidia is a tiny part of my portfolio.
$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ this is the one to watch this upcoming week in my humble opinion. Oh also $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ and $PayPal(PYPL)$ but ill just focus on sofi in this post. Ive been buying calls over the last few weeks already sold 2 and excised 1 with the profits. It will go to at least $14.50, and maybe hit over $20 prior to Christmas but it will be volatile. Anytime it drops to $12 im hitting the buy button (funds permitting). Buying into pltr and pypl is way more expensive than sofi, all have serious upside going forward but im a tiny invesment fish, so 3 trades for $500 has better outcomes for me than one $1500 trade. Oh and then o
So I always get bemused when market commentators try to spread fear because insiders are selling. This really is a totally stupid metric 97% of the time. And the commentators that discuss this metric, well in my humble opinion are not worthy. So let's explore this... First up, insiders are human, they have to pay taxes and other bills like the rest of us. But they generally get stock bonuses if they achieve certain milestones, and woops, that's a huge amount of extra income, and obviously the tax department has their hand out. Could be a tax bill for $300,000 give or take if you got a million worth of stock bonuses. So you have no choice, gotta sell some stock. Maybe the super yacht blows an engine, or your daughter gets engaged, or you find a cute little mansion in Tuscany, or you watch a
At $22, Rklb is getting a little ahead of itself, but if it goes to $50 next year you'll be upset you didn't pay $22 now. Is $50 realistic though? Well if all the tailwinds Aline, $50 is a low target... neutron launches and lands, backlog goes to 2 billion, electron launches 30x, annual revenue exceeds $500 mil.
Frankly my dear, I don't give a dam. I have my own approach and I think I'm doing ok. I think the pic below pretty much illustrates that. Macro factors are important obviously. but for me, it's more about emotion. I buy because nobody else seems to get it. $NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$ It's a dividend stock, it's crashed seriously and as a result it's dividend is now over 21%, that's insane! Why is it down so much? Well Q3 was very bad, and there's a chance it could cut its dividend in the future. Emotionally dividend investors go crazy if they think their dividend mite be cut, and sell off big time. And that's exactly what's happening. But I don't think it will be cut. Since the company announced they mite not be able to increase their d
$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Well, if you follow me you know I am obsessed with rocket lab... an there are $8,923 reasons why. Plus another $6,000 on top of that, profits from buying calls. Is it too late to get in? Well my cost basis is $4.10 and today in after hours trading, after their Q3 call it's over $18. I think it could drop back a little, and perhaps go sideways for a few months. But long term it's going to keep climbing at crazy rates due to the tailwinds it will announce and deliver on next year. Also of note, on today's call, over ten analysts on the Q&A, last call it was like 4 from memory. The bigs are slowly getting a clue about the potential of RKLB. Luckily I still have a few long calls I brought 6 months back at a
$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ so how have I done it? and annual RoR of over 1300%. Well you will notice in the third pic that returns on a monthly basis are mixed. I joined tiger in March this year, and started learning how to trade options on the demo account. I spent the first two months just learning options trading and the tiger platform, hence negligible returns. then I started trading options and bam! Some fantastic months, and some not so much. But overall insane. But what am I doing, and why don't I spank it every month? Well a lot of the time I am setting up trades that will be lucrative at some point, but not this month. How do I know they will be lucrative? Because I spend all my spare time researching companies that are going to grow
$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ my beautiful unicorn stock, is a 3.5x for me Now. To be fair, I wasn't expecting it to shoot up this quick. Then again I see institutions starting to jump in. I was expecting a 2x by Christmas, so I guess Santa decided to give me an early present. Will it retract or stay where it is? I think it could pull back a little, but I'm expecting some good news before the end of the year or early next year... capped call transaction completed and repayment of the $350 million loan, a big new satellite contract of half a billion and/or access granted into the SDA satellite launch tranch. All three will happen, the only question is when. It mite pull back if it doesn't launch electron a few more times in Q4, but that'
