$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ To be completely honest option trading for me in 2025 has been a mild disaster. I only buy calls and in 2024 I made over 30k buying and excising and selling $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ calls.  I now understand that 2024 was a fluke. I backed a winning growth stock that went 10x. 2025 has been painful. I brought call options  in a dividend stock that ended up suspending its dividend. I bet on its 15+ year track record of never suspending but instead consistently Increasing dividends, and I was wrong. I also brought calls in $Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ underestimating the impact of and impending law suit, that has caused the stock to t

So I'm in two Australian stocks one gold one silver. The gold one is up over 50%, so I did what I do, trimmed it. So that one is just house money now. $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$ it's an Australia gold mining company with the rights to mine in one of the otago gold fields in New Zealand. Massive long term potential once they start digging. But it's early days not digging up gold yet. So I guess you understand why I trimmed. Analysts saying gold will hit new highs ($5,000) is speculation. So I'm happy if they are correct. But my money in Santana is now just pure profit. So happy to sit on that for 10+ years and let it rock and roll. if gold is only worth $3,200 in 5 years, well Santana was kinda pricing it near that to justify the investment a

I own $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$, $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ and $BlackSky Technology Inc.(BKSY)$. Generally speaking IPOs are a bad idea as they tend to rocket in the first few weeks then plummet after the hype subsides and reality sets in. I’ll reserve judgement on space X until I see the past financials. I will definitely ignore any projections beyond looking at levels of realism.

I'm bullish on both gold and silver, it will do ok. But it's a tiny bit of my portfolio. I don't invest in gold or silver directly. Just own stock in one gold and one silver mining company. Both will do way better in the long term than a direct investment in either commodity. Once upon a time I held a bit of gold, cost me $300, sold it for $150 20 years later. i did enjoy that ring on my finger for most of that time. The investment paid huge dividends, three amazing children, but it was not a good investment at all from an intelligent investor perspective, but as an emotional investor I have no regrets.  It's ok to live your life making a few financial decisions that financially don't make any sense. More important to take time to enjoy a moment in time, sometimes. to be rich hmmm a b

So as you can see by the screen shot below, this year has been a roller coaster. Coming out on top with a 46% return, but a few days back it was only 26% YTD. I think many other tigers may have similar stories, I'd love to here yours.  I'm not big on listening to market predictions, they are generally wrong. I suppose the biggest one is the Ai bubble. I think those that are predicting a major crash in Ai in 2006 are full of shite. I certainly will not be going out and buying more speculative Ai or chip stocks. But I'll continue buying $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$. Just DCA into what's the cheapest eve

I think this cut, if it happens, just signals the sensible business minds getting on with their jobs inspite of orange boys continuous tweeting that cause constant chaos and confusion.  I believe 2026 will be a repeat of 2025, lots of volatility, even more information that is wrong or worse, intentional mis information intended to manipulate the markets. But idc. I have my pics for 2026 and I will just steer the course Happy trading fellow tigers @Tiger_SG  @Tiger cub  @MillionaireTiger  @TigerTrade 

Only up 26% YTD this year so far, it’s been a roller coaster ride for sure. Feb and November were punishing. My biggest lesson learned is not to listen to all the nonsense. Fact check everything! The other major lesson is to throw less at highly volatile growth stocks and instead balance my portfolio with more in solid plodders with little to no volatility

$Main Street Capital(MAIN)$ so it's a dividend stock. Pretty much all my dividend stocks have been rubbish this year. But still better than money in a bank account. I invest in dividend stocks cause they give me cash flow and are not volatile. Unlike my growth stocks that are extremely volatile in the short term, but give significant returns. I trade with margins so the dividend stocks have saved me from margin calls numerous times.  My philosophy is simple, it's like the very old fable. The tortoise and the hare. Place money on the tortoise, it's slow, but it's steady. So it's safer. The hare might get there fast with a 10x in under a year, but it could easily crash and burn.  Then again, nothing is truly Safe. All investments have risk

BuyingOnMisinformation

So, over the last few days several companies I invest in have "diluted" shareholders. But as the emotional investor, I dive beneath the headlines of impending doom to uncover what's really going on. First up was $Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$. They recently announced a new capital raise and some commentators were quick to call it a significant dilution of shareholders. But was it? Actually NO! The new funds from the so called "dilution" will be used to repay funds from a previous capital raise, with a longer time horizon, and at significantly better interest rates. So it not bad, it's not a dilution, it's a financial restructure on way more favorable terms. Sadly fake news is rife. And I'm not sure who is worse. The people that write articles

So gold has been interesting, I invested in $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$ at the beginning of this year. Well it's listed on the New Zealand stock exchange too cause it's mining gold in New Zealand, but my fellow tigers, well you can't invest in New Zealand stock,  but you can invest in the Australian version so all good.  Santana in New Zealand has the rights to mine gold, but very early days. All the reports look fantastic, but no income yet. And huge returns are years away. It's up over 50% for me, so I trimmed. I will take out all my initial investment and just play the house on stuff like this. Gold has been a terrible idea for a few decades, but now it's great.  So what did I do with the profits? History repeats. Silver fol

Personally, I'd like December to stay flat. November was nasty for my portfolio. But I'm not about one or two months. I am the emotional investor, most follow the Vix, and listen to the daily nonsense. I just look at the fundamentals of a company, particularly its management, and strategy going forward. My biggest issue right now is generating more income to buy more shares in amazing companies that will go insane. Not daily, not monthly, but a year from now

Regardless of meeting the $4 trillion mark, google is a solid bet long term. I Don’t know a single person that doesn’t use google daily

It’s check mate for the click bait Ai bubble enthusiasts. Spinning fiction over fact. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ is solid going forward so is $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$. There is no factual material that supports a bubble. Expensive they were, now not so much. But look at the value chain. It’s not just chip manufacturers, it’s the data centers buying their chips and the companies supplying power to the data centers. And even the infrastructure companies that support the power companies. This is a no brainer for me. Two years ago for me it was $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$. Average PP is still at $4.30 ish. I’m all in on the best space companies, and Ai and Ai related stocks

So $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ has pretty much "learned" all the click bait commentators waffling on about the so call Ai bubble. As I said in one of my articles yesterday just pure speculation over fact. The facts presented themselves earlier today when Jensen said that they have sold out of High end chips. But to me this was well telegraphed. That's why I pretty much ignore Most analysts and market commentators. I listen to the industry and the companies. And actually a lot of writers here in tiger trade, who actually know the facts. But today I want to address another one of the stupid concepts being circulated by the sheep of Wall Street, Ai chip depreciation. This keeps recirculating as an argument to support an Ai bubble. The fact that the big Ai compute
