$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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
