$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,

$Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ I find it interesting that the best articles I write here about losses always do way better than wins. And VG is my worse performing stock ever In tiger trade. And yet I'm adding. Am i flogging a dead horse? Ok let's revisit my assumptions. I started a position in VG in the $15 range, it's dropped as low as the mid $5, and is now it's mid $6 pre trading today. Not a good result. Bloody awful actually. have I been buying it? Yes, why, we will get to that next paragraph. But my DCA is now $10, I keep buying it... bring on the next paragraph. Venture global is the largest exporter of LPG in the USA. Soon to be the largest in the world frankly. They got greedy maybe in 2022, sold a lot of gas on the spot market for approximate

I'm just doing what I do, buying stocks every week when I get paid. Learning everything I possibly can every day, and adding intel to spreadsheets. Today I was diving into $IREN Ltd(IREN)$, $PayPal(PYPL)$.  Not much uncovered on either but a little more color on both. With Iren it was their capped call capital raise that has them reporting at GAAP profit for Q4 of over $600 million, in paper profits. Capped call capital raises are totally mis reported. Commentators always throw up their hands crying wolf, screaming shareholder dilution. But they are so wrong.  I'll simplify, but Iren raised just over 1 billion issuing new shares, but used part of the money raised to basically buy calls. These ca

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ So approximately 2 years ago I wrote my first article about this company. Back then it was trading at around $4. Had a few people replying to my post that were not... let's just say, they were not enthusiastic. You can actually scroll back and see that post. I presented a thesis outlining why it was about to go nuts. And it did. From $4 to $15, then $30, then $40.  Now at market close on Friday, it's around $74. Hmmm. It's been a very volatile stock this year, a few weeks ago it was in the $40s. Why? Because most don't get it. I love that. I live in New Zealand, takes me 45 mins to drive to their composite facility in Warkworth NZ, 2 hours to drive to their production facility in mount Wellington, NZ. About 8 hour

ATTENTION ALL GRANDPARENTS  (And anyone else with limited funds to invest) So about 2 1/2 year's ago (July the 4th, 2023 to be exact). I decided to set up a share fund for my two grandchildren. Why? Well as a parent I tried to do it for my three children when they were young, but things always came up and needed money. I figured this was the same for my daughter, and frankly I'm 55 now, my daughter is 25, and I'm way more disciplined.  So 2.5 years ago I put $100 into separate brokerage accounts for both grandchildren, every single week since, a mere $5 goes in. Not a significant sum at all. and birthdays and Christmas a bit xtra.  the litte ones were under 5 when I started so that determined my investment thesis. Mainly dividend growth stocks, not great dividend returns sor

I have held $Micron Technology(MU)$ in the past but now I just have $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$. Bigger, better, faster, stronger. Not bothered about tomorrow. More focused on 1 to 5 years out. I just collect more on the dips. I buy something every week. Whatever is cheap this week comparative to my long term thesis. I do not subscribe to a chip or Ai or data center bubble in the next few weeks. Realistically the narrative will change tomorrow, or next week. I set a course, and follow that course. Obviously I keep an eye out for a massive storm, or a change in the direction of the wind. But the wind is changing direction daily ATM and its only b

Yes the Santa rally was a thing last week, now it isn't anymore, it's done! My understanding is that Santa put a tariff on Rudolph's And the other reindeers carrots. Apparently the reindeer are on strike, and the logistics of delivering presents is a huge issue. Lucky Santa aready had great friends in John deer, that would take the reindeers place. But now it turns out... John deer is moving production to Mexico. Santa is very upset about this so he's removing the carrot tariff in favor of a  200% deer tariff.  Santa rally is back, tomorrow everything will be great again @Joanna Will  @Big Al Davis  @SPACE ROCK

So, I have plenty of "tricks" some orthodox, some that seriously go against conventional wisdom. Today I'll go thru a very unorthodox one. So two years ago, I was 53 with retirement savings of only $30k. Conventional wisdom was very clear for me. I'm told to play it safe, bank deposits, some bonds, a conservative retirement fund. Best case scenario, if I kept putting money into conservative retirement funds, well at best at retirement age I mite have $100k. But I'd need at least $1 million. So I needed to be unconventional. I'm now 55, and unconventional is paying off significantly. So let me share my journey so far. So my grown up children love to tell me I'm hopeless with technology, because I'm not on twitter or X or whatever. And I go out without taking my cell phone with me, to be fai

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ To be completely honest option trading for me in 2025 has been a mild disaster. I only buy calls and in 2024 I made over 30k buying and excising and selling $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ calls.  I now understand that 2024 was a fluke. I backed a winning growth stock that went 10x. 2025 has been painful. I brought call options  in a dividend stock that ended up suspending its dividend. I bet on its 15+ year track record of never suspending but instead consistently Increasing dividends, and I was wrong. I also brought calls in $Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ underestimating the impact of and impending law suit, that has caused the stock to t

So I'm in two Australian stocks one gold one silver. The gold one is up over 50%, so I did what I do, trimmed it. So that one is just house money now. $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$ it's an Australia gold mining company with the rights to mine in one of the otago gold fields in New Zealand. Massive long term potential once they start digging. But it's early days not digging up gold yet. So I guess you understand why I trimmed. Analysts saying gold will hit new highs ($5,000) is speculation. So I'm happy if they are correct. But my money in Santana is now just pure profit. So happy to sit on that for 10+ years and let it rock and roll. if gold is only worth $3,200 in 5 years, well Santana was kinda pricing it near that to justify the investment a

I own $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$, $AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ and $BlackSky Technology Inc.(BKSY)$. Generally speaking IPOs are a bad idea as they tend to rocket in the first few weeks then plummet after the hype subsides and reality sets in. I’ll reserve judgement on space X until I see the past financials. I will definitely ignore any projections beyond looking at levels of realism.

I'm bullish on both gold and silver, it will do ok. But it's a tiny bit of my portfolio. I don't invest in gold or silver directly. Just own stock in one gold and one silver mining company. Both will do way better in the long term than a direct investment in either commodity. Once upon a time I held a bit of gold, cost me $300, sold it for $150 20 years later. i did enjoy that ring on my finger for most of that time. The investment paid huge dividends, three amazing children, but it was not a good investment at all from an intelligent investor perspective, but as an emotional investor I have no regrets.  It's ok to live your life making a few financial decisions that financially don't make any sense. More important to take time to enjoy a moment in time, sometimes. to be rich hmmm a b

So as you can see by the screen shot below, this year has been a roller coaster. Coming out on top with a 46% return, but a few days back it was only 26% YTD. I think many other tigers may have similar stories, I'd love to here yours.  I'm not big on listening to market predictions, they are generally wrong. I suppose the biggest one is the Ai bubble. I think those that are predicting a major crash in Ai in 2006 are full of shite. I certainly will not be going out and buying more speculative Ai or chip stocks. But I'll continue buying $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , and $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$. Just DCA into what's the cheapest eve

I think this cut, if it happens, just signals the sensible business minds getting on with their jobs inspite of orange boys continuous tweeting that cause constant chaos and confusion.  I believe 2026 will be a repeat of 2025, lots of volatility, even more information that is wrong or worse, intentional mis information intended to manipulate the markets. But idc. I have my pics for 2026 and I will just steer the course Happy trading fellow tigers @Tiger_SG  @Tiger cub  @MillionaireTiger  @TigerTrade 

Only up 26% YTD this year so far, it’s been a roller coaster ride for sure. Feb and November were punishing. My biggest lesson learned is not to listen to all the nonsense. Fact check everything! The other major lesson is to throw less at highly volatile growth stocks and instead balance my portfolio with more in solid plodders with little to no volatility
