Israel-Iran War Ignites Oil Prices — How Long Can This Rally Last?
On Last Friday, Israeli air forces launched a large-scale airstrike on multiple Iranian facilities related to nuclear and military operations, in an operation dubbed “Operation Lion’s Strength.” The attack reignited market risk aversion, sending gold prices soaring by $60 to their highest level since April 16. Crude oil futures surged 14% in a single day, up 16.7% since the beginning of June. Oil futures had already broken key resistance levels earlier that week (Brent at $68.5, WTI at $65), and Friday’s sudden escalation further accelerated the rally, making crude one of the most eye-catching assets in global markets. So with both technical and fundamental forces supporting the trend, how much further can crude prices rise? War and Disappointing Supply Growth Support Oil Prices in the Sho

Option Strategies: LZB
Hello everyone! Today i want to share some option strategies with you!1.Took us a while to adopt this point of view. We would trade (or not trade) in order to make sure we pushed out green weeks each week. But sometimes the market dictated we take losses now in order to set us up for a better situation down the road, but we would ignore it because taking a loss meant producing a red week ... and we didn't want to show that on the P/L.It has been much better to not trade for the weekly or monthly P/L, but instead to trade for what the market is doing and giving each day each week.Optionselling account comeback confirmed we made the right decision.

AMD’s 9% Surge: Is $140 the Next Stop or Another False Rally?
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ has ignited excitement in the semiconductor sector with a nearly 9% surge in its stock price on June 16, 2025, following optimistic analyst commentary. Piper Sandler raised their price target from $125 to $140, citing expectations of a "snapback" in AMD’s graphics processing unit (GPU) business by the fourth quarter, as the company moves past $800 million in charges related to U.S. export restrictions to China. This rally, bolstered by AMD’s unveiling of the Helios full-server rack, raises critical questions: Is this rally sustainable, can AMD breach the $140 mark, and which chip stocks hold the most upside potential in this AI-driven market? This article explores AMD’s momentum, its competitive landscape, and the broa

How I Secured My Final Dividend from VST and Recovered It with a Smart Options Move 💼📉 As the expiry of my covered call nears and my 100 shares of Vistra Energy (VST) are likely to be called away at the $135 strike on 20 June 2025, I took one last opportunity to capture the dividend while also executing a calculated options strategy to recover its value. The dividend payout of $0.225 per share on 18 June translates into a total of $22.50 for my lot of 100 shares. Knowing that once my shares are called away I would no longer be eligible for future dividends, I decided to make one final intelligent play. 📅 Capturing the Dividend While It Lasts I held on to my 100 shares of VST long enough to qualify for the $0.225 dividend.

Why I’m Passing on Regeneron (REGN): A Lesson in Circle of Competence and Strategy Discipline
$Regeneron Pharmaceuticals(REGN)$ Today I want to talk about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals—ticker REGN. But this isn’t going to be a deep-dive valuation or a classic stock pitch. Instead, I’m using Regeneron as a jumping-off point for a broader discussion about strategy, understanding your own investing limitations, and the importance of staying within your circle of competence—a concept popularized by Warren Buffett and one that has served me well over the years. Before we get started, just a quick reminder: this isn’t individual investment advice. It’s simply how I approach stock analysis and think through certain investment decisions. Why Talk About Regeneron? Over the past week or so, I’ve had a dozen or more people message me or comment asking wh
