The Allure of Options: Why They're Both Irresistible and Infuriating

Let me confess something right up front: options trading is like stepping onto a financial roller coaster that you can't quite decide if you love or hate. There’s adrenaline, excitement, and the occasional stomach-lurching regret. It's easy to see why options are so addictive. But don’t worry—I’ll explain it all, and perhaps with a bit of cheeky humour to soften the blow of reality. The Seductive Power of Leverage The thrill and terror of leveraged trading Ah, leverage—the financial world's equivalent of a magic trick. With a relatively modest sum, you can control a significantly larger position. Sounds like an absolute win, doesn’t it? But here's the catch: leverage doesn’t just amplify your gains—it also magnifies your losses. It’s like riding a rocket that could either land you on the m

I seriously started option trading four months ago. Am I too lucky/Trump effects to get +11% in one month  or is it normal for option sellers?

NVDA is aiming 190?

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ Next target is 180?After following this for a few days in a row, there has been a rash of big options orders to ambush NVIDIA at record highs, for example:And NVDA is currently riding ahead of other giants like $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ and favourites $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ while an even larger amount is coming from call options (CALL).Of course there were also a lot of shorts at new highs that turned out to be blown out by the ongoing surge.Fundamentally, I think the following 3 reasons are important

Investment Reflection: Coterra Energy (CTRA) Put Option Strategy

Initial Position: August 23, 2024 On August 23, 2024, I initiated an option strategy by selling 2 contracts of Coterra Energy (CTRA) $Coterra Energy Inc.(CTRA)$  put options with a strike price of $23 and a maturity date of October 18, 2024, collecting an option premium of $36 per contract. The decision to take a bullish stance on Coterra by selling puts was based on the following positive factors: Coterra’s High Margins and Strong Cash Flow: Coterra Energy’s low debt levels, disciplined capital management, and quality long-life reserves gave me confidence in the company's ability to withstand market fluctuations, particularly in the natural gas sector. Depressed Natural Gas Prices: At the time, natural gas prices were low, but the long-term

$Sea Ltd(SE)$  I had been buying Sea Ltd(SE)$ since it dropping. I have faith and confidence in this company. The 3 business models for gaming, e-commerce and digital banking are making profit now. Therefore, I do not see why the stock price will not be going up. You must keep for long term and you can see the price shot to the moon. None of its competition is new. SE is the dominant player in its markets, of course it won't grow as fast as someone just starting out and burning billions! SEA has challenges, certainly, will require patience no doubt, but as a long term perspective, i dont see how not to be long on SE. I will keep buying. Great long opportunity. My target price is $90 by end of next month. Go ahead

Overview of the Strategy On 17 June 2024, I implemented a covered call strategy by selling four call contracts on GOLD $Barrick Gold Corp(GOLD)$  stock with a strike price of USD18 and a maturity date of 19 July 2024.

This approach allows investors to generate additional income from option premi

Investment Reflection on Adjusting WBA Option Portfolio

Overview Walgreens Boots Alliance $Walgreens Boots Alliance(WBA)$  , a prominent pharmacy-led healthcare company, recently reported its third-quarter earnings with mixed results. While the company affirmed an increase in earnings per share (EPS) to 40 cents, compared to 14 cents in the previous year, this was overshadowed by a significant non-cash impairment related to pharmacy license intangible assets at Boots UK. The adjusted EPS fell by 36.6% in constant currency, and challenging retail conditions, along with tough trends impacting its pharmacies, led to a drop in sales growth expectations. In response to these adverse developments, I made a strategic adjustment to my WBA option portfolio on 3 July 2024. This reflection details the rationa
