$Adobe(ADBE)$ Massive plunge by Adobe today after earnings. Best on earnings and revenue but plunged after revenue guidance was lower than expected. Smart move by the company. They are starting a new stock buyback program. By guiding lower, they can temporarily push stock price lower so they can buy back at a cheaper price. This dip is a great buying opportunity in my eyes.

Don't just buy the dip blindly. Make sure it's a good company n good stock in the first place, and it will still be a great company in 10 years. Next is to find out the intrinsic value of the company. Don't buy when it's overvalued. Buy only when it's cheaper than its intrinsic value. Next is to time your buys. Look for areas of support to buy cos that's where the stock might bottom and rebound. If it's a great company like Apple, Nvidia, it will surely rebound in the future. Just look at those who bought Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft during the bear market in 2022.

My biggest winning trade is definitely $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , especially after their recent earnings. Can't be happier 😁

$PLTR 20240119 26.0 CALL$ This is an easy trade for me. I have 300 shares of Palantir and I'm selling these covered call options to earn the premium. It's only a small trade but every little bit counts. I picked an option trade with Delta less than 0.05 so that the chances of being exercised is small. I picked an expiry of about a month away so that it's easier to manage. I think the market is overextended and it's unlikely PLTR will reach the price of 26.0 within a month. Even if it did, I would gladly take profits on my positions and await a pullback to buy in again.

I would suggest having at least 20 stocks, with each stock having an allocation of 5% for a start. If one of these companies go under, you won't lose more than 5% of your capital. Think about lasting the marathon first before you think about your first pot of gold.
