What’s the Best Strategy for Riding a Bull Market?
1. Holding the Stock Directly
Pros: Buying and holding the stock directly is simple and direct. Compared to leveraged ETFs or options, owning the stock generally involves less risk.
Cons: While owning stocks is safer, it can be slower to generate high returns.
2. Leveraged ETFs
Pros: Deliver a multiple (often 2x or 3x) of the daily return of the underlying index. In a strong bull market, it provide significantly higher returns. Provide leverage without the need to trade on margin.
Cons: Leveraged ETFs are designed to track daily returns, less effective for long-term holding. Might experience compounding losses in volatile markets.
3. Buy Out-of-the-Money (OTM) Calls
Pros: Price is cheaper because strike price is above the current stock price. If the stock price rises significantly, OTM calls can yield very high returns.
Cons: Carry a high risk of expiring worthless if the stock doesn’t reach the strike price. Lose value quickly as they approach expiration
4. Buy In-the-Money (ITM) Calls
Pros: More likely to retain value and react more predictably to stock price movements because they already have intrinsic value.
Cons: More expensive than OTM calls, so they require more capital. Still subject to time decay and expire, which can lead to losses if the stock doesn’t move as expected.

The key for me is picking quality stocks with clear growth potential. I also diversify to manage risk while sticking to companies in strong uptrends. I understand that trends don’t always move in a straight line, but I’m willing to weather short-term pullbacks for long-term growth.
While I do use other trading methods at times, my main strategy is to ride the trend by holding stocks in uptrends. This keeps my approach focused on long-term success, maximizing my chances of winning without trying to time the market or take on unnecessary risks. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerGPT
