$RCL 20250822 290.0 PUT$ RCL: collected full premium on this short put when it expired worthless on 22nd Aug. Had wanted RCL to drop more and use these short put to cover my stock short positions. But RCL moved up strongly for the week by a large 9.78% to close at $344.67. 2 of my commited short put were closed out this week and that freed up 200 shares uncommitted. RCL is my largest portfolio drag this week and I look to cut loss if RCL hit $350 which seems likely on Monday.
$NVO 20250822 45.0 PUT$ NVO: collected full premium on this short put when it expired worthless on 22nd Aug. NVO is up 8.72% this week and these short puts were save and collecting premiums as intended. Still a long way to close the gap at $69 but NVO is making good upward progress for the 3rd consecutive week. Probably the temporary bottom is set for this round so my trades were setup on bullish bias.

Touch your CPF/SRS for SGX shares plays—yes or no?
Whenever the topic of investing comes up, one recurring question is: Should I use CPF or SRS funds for SGX stocks? For me, the answer has mostly been no when it comes to CPF. CPF vs. SRS: Two Different Stories My SRS account is easy—there’s literally $1 sitting there, so it’s not even a consideration right now. CPF, though, is trickier because technically I can use it for investments. But I choose not to. The reason is simple: CPF is my safe corner. The interest rates are fixed and predictable, which means I can calculate the yearly growth with certainty. That kind of assurance is rare, because almost nothing else in investing works in straight lines. Stocks, on the other hand, are full of uncertainty.
