$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,
Im not getting carried away with the so called trump stocks atm, why? Well $Caterpillar(CAT)$, oil stocks and oil related stocks like $Hess(HES)$ Will likely benefit, it won't happen overnight, increases in profits will take time. Although i am betting on $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ As i see them as a key to government cost cutting strategies, and the gains there will be much greater, faster. Due to lucrative new and recurring government contracts. As for the trump bitcoin. I think id rather just put 100 bucks into a slott machine and watch it disappear ;)-
To be fair, im not sure what the January Effect is. Please comment below if you can enlighten me. But my assumption would be that the January effect is about rebalancing. Sorting out lasts years winners and loosers, picking this year's potential winners and adjusting your portfolio to suit. So on that note, heres my thinking: $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$$Globalstar(GSAT)$$BlackSky Technology Inc.(BKSY)$ So rocket lab was my biggest winner in 2024, my cost basis is $4.31 per share and its currently trading around $24.50 ish. I think it was truly undervalued but now its kinda fair value. Will it go down significantly this year... I doubt it. It
Well what can I say. Here's the thing, some stocks I own and have a solid understanding of like $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ are all subjects of constant bullshit. Analysts love to point out how great the stocks are one week and how terrible they are the next. Unfortunately the stock market is becoming more and more fraught with utter nonsense. Of course you don't have to look very deep to see the likes of ARKK selling one day, and buying the next as they play the market forcing stocks lower or higher with orders of 100 shares at a decre
2024 was a great year for me with over 1000% return since joining tiger in march. How Did i do it? Well my biggest piece of advice is based on my nickname "the emotional investor". Its kind of an oxymoron, because I don't get emotional about stocks. Instead my understanding of other's emotions drives my investment thesis. For example, greed and fear are common investment drivers. Brokers and analysts get this and put out absurd articles to drive a stock up or down. The most recent example of this was jan 3rd. A merchant bank i have never heard of, and an analyst with a terrible track record put up an article about $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ that downgraded the stock. It was utter nonsense, the analyst in question should be fired! B
Been busy in the first few days of January 2025. Sold my position in $Redwire Corp.(RDW)$ because i own $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ And there is alot of overlap. Brought into $Globalstar(GSAT)$ With the profits because rklb launches their satellites and it's backed by apple. So its a similar play to owning $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ but with asts trading at over 10x that of gsat, gsat looks cheap and asts looks expensive. In other moves, ive increased my position in $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$, MAIN, GLAD, GAIN, and a number of other long held dividend stocks, and will conti
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Yes was a good beat for me at just over1000% I did quite nicely. November was insanely good, but sadly the much anticipated Santa rally was a complete bust for me. But I seriously can't complain. I think January will be slow as well, bring on February!
Ok short answer if you don't have the time to read my post is... YES, small caps will go. Forget drone stocks, forget quantum stocks... hype! Im going all in on sensible dividend return and growth. Like $Main Street Capital(MAIN)$$Gladstone Capital(GLAD)$ And $Trinity Capital Inc.(TRIN)$ All have returned over 15% annually for many years, when you add their return and growth of dividend. Picks below speak for themselves. Screw the hype stocks, i mean seriously, quantum stocks are a 10 year plus play, and most won't make it.... why? Why invest in them? To be blunt, you are stupid. As an emotional investor, i research stocks and understand the reality. so im reall
So far, the santa rally is a mixed bag with only a few of my stocks going nuts. $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Is the clear winner here As the first pic shows. Combined with options and stock i have about $4,000 in it and paper gains are round $23,000. The second pic shows that it did drop quite a bit early December, my portfolio was actually down 12k on November highs, but now its up around 3.5k. Thank you santa! I expect the stock will hit $30 per share in the near term with it pushing $40 next year due to alot more positive news. So no way im profit taking. I have two calls left on it at an excise of $5 and $7 and i will excise these very soon to lock in another 200 shares. I need more money to excise these calls though but no hurry they are 2026
Even though it's payed of big time this year, I have had too many eggs in only one basket. Yes if you follow me you know, it's $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$. But I just had to go all in. I saw the huge potential and just didn't get why it was so insanely cheap. And to be fair, I won't stop buying it. I'd say it's now fairly priced, but given the company's potential over the next five years, it's just going to keep skyrocketing (no pun intended). I've made a lot of money. Because this stock was a unicorn. Not so much now, but I still am resolute that it will double in price next year. But just know, my cost basis on this stock is $4.10, and it's now at $25.50, so when I buy more my safety margin is massive. But it now represents over 50% of my portf
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Hmmm, well I'm going to answer this question in a long winded way, but please bear with me. Christmas to me is about family, being with Family and it's not about presents, it's sharing a joyous moment in time Together. But I am the emotional investor, well I'm actually an intelligent investor... my book shelves are full of books by David Dodds, Ben graham and Warren buffet, but I digress. I generally focus on intelligent investing rather than emotional investing, cause it's easier to explain. But this post will give you insight into emotional investing. So, family is like stocks. You sit at the Christmas table, having brought and cooked the turkey and the ham and look at the family that has come. Emotionally some have been ve
$Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$ back in Schd! Sold off this etf over a year ago, because I decided to focus on higher yield dividend stocks. But seriously the price has dropped sooo much I just had to get back in. There is no logical reason I can see for the dramatic drop. Only brought a small position yesterday while i fact check and make sure I'm not missing anything. But it seems crazy cheap given the diversification it provides. I don't like a couple of the stocks Schd is in, but overall way more great and safe dividend stocks. I will likely DCA in over the next two months while the market is quiet. Schd used to make up roughly 4% of my portfolio, unlikely I'll put that much in, but I could see investing up to $1000 in the nex
I know, I know, everyone is making money on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Except me. Because I don't like it. Good on you if you did invest and are making a bomb. But I do not like green eggs and ham, and wouldn't try them sam I am. I have a v6 v-dub convertable running 96 octane that I run on sports mode most of the time. It burns gas and oil like an Abrams tank and I love it! Screw sensible electric cars. Keep your environmentally unfriendly batteries, and buy more Tesla stock all you want lol. it's just not my thing. Happy trading and merry Christmas everyone, looks like so far Santa has been very selective on the stocks he's making presents out of, but hopefully everything rallies before C-Day. @Daily_
Easy answer $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I make my living with tiger, without you guys I have no income. I buy calls in growth stocks, sell some of them for income and reinvesting in income stocks and the underlying growth stock. Then rinse and repeat. $Alphabet(GOOG)$ is another stock that tells me anything I need answers to, although often the info is rubbish so you need to be selective. $Apple(AAPL)$ My iPhone, iPad and desktop Mac are essential. The only other company I can't live without is actually not a company Per say, it's the t-shirt of the company. Every time I wear that t-shirt the stock goes up. Only once or twice a week at most do I wear the sh
I really wish people would do there DD on stuff rather than just jump in with their eyes wide shut. little wonder so many fail to make money stock investing. I actually make money as the pick below illustrates. Ok $Alphabet(GOOG)$ Is a great company, with buckets of cash, the willow investment is a tiny tiny drop in their cash buckets. is the willow chip a breakthrough? Sort of, it's a major milestone in a process that, according to my research could easily take another 10 years to come to market. So would I jump on other speculative quantum stocks? No, I'm not bag holding them for 10 years, potentially losing everything On the journey. Please everyone, engage your brain before you open your wallet ;)
Just because a company is entering a new index doesn't mean it will go up automatically, but it usually does. I believe you also need to look at the fundamentals. And here $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is my obvious choice, yes it's insanely expensive but it also has insane growth potential. My only regret today is that I don't have the spare money to buy more
Really missed the boat on $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Only got in when it reached the mid $60's. Started looking at it when it was trading at $26, still didn't understand it when it topped $46, but now can see the massive upside. Nasdaq inclusion it's just a small catalyst compared to the stocks huge growth potential. Only have a small position atm, but I will just keep DCA in over time. Why not go all in? Well it's extremely expensive with alot of the future growth potential already Priced in, so I'll just try to buy the dips if they happen.
