In this stock trading competition, @Bonta distinguished himself with his strong background in project management within Singapore’s construction industry and his extensive experience in derivatives trading. Over 15 years ago, he began his options journey as a buyer after attending options investing courses. Following that, he transitioned to selling options through self-study and experimentation. However, due to prohibitively high commissions at the time, he shifted to dividend value investing. Several years ago, thanks to Tiger’s lower options fees, he returned to options selling. Today, while he still maintains a dividend portfolio, the majority of his positions are executed using options selling strategies.Capturing
