Last year, I learnt a new skill. I attended the recent Tiger Webinar on stock/option investment. One of the speakers (Terence, if my memory serves me right), shared about 0DTE option strategy. This new year, I put this skill into real practice. My first trade of 2026 was a SPY 0DTE Call. I used 1-minute candle stick chart to decide on the entry and exit. It's closed shortly after its open and yielded positive results. Not a big win but feeling happy nevertheless [Miser] ! Thanks to Tiger platform for organising the webinar. Happy New Year to all Tigers and may all have profitable investment for 2026.
$iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ On leave today and watched this pulled back to below $70 in the 24-hr market. Bought @69.18 and sold @70.90. Trades complete in 45 minutes using cash boost account. Small win but feel good nevertheless.
$NVDA 20260116 100.0 PUT$ Sold this naked put during April when the US market crashed. The thought process then was to buy the NVDIA shares at a discount ($100)! Now from hindsight, it is possible but not probable. Nevertheless, I am equally happy to just keep the premium[Miser]
I started accumulating over time the 3 Singapore banking shares (DBS, UOB, OCBC) since more than 25 years ago. I started buying DBS as low as $18 and OCBC $4. My original intent was to have them serve as my retirement nest egg. The dividend payout was consistently at 5-6% yoy. The total values plus the dividends payout had compounded to about 5 times of the initial invested amount. This is definitely able to combat the inflation impact over time. Since I joined Tiger platform, I started accumulating more of these banking shares. I also invest in US, HK stock, options and other SG counters in a balanced manner because I believe all eggs must not be in one basket, neither should all baskets be in the same building. Investing in SG ba
$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ I started investing in stock market more than 25 years ago. The journey was primitive and manual. I studied fundamental and technical analysis, reading newspaper for data before reaching trading decision. Calling the agent to place a trade was a norm. Out of the 3 main Singapore banks (OCBC, UOB, DBS), I chose OCBC as my first banking shares for the simple reason, this was the only one affordable then ($4.00). Each lot size was 1,000 shares. Slowly saving bits by bits, I added on UOB, DBS and other Singapore REIT. Most of them yielded consistent 5-6% dividends payout yoy price running on a steady uptrend. I call this 'the dummy way by
$NVDA 20260320 175.0 CALL$ Used Tiger AI to help analyse my total portfolio. Using the output, I decided to close this to better rebalance portfolio besides realising profit. I remain long term bullish for $NVDA and I still have that 'wheel strategy' intact and running (shared in my previous writeup).
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ I'm bullish for the long term. This stock is rather volatile over the past few weeks. I am selling and rolling weekly OTM covered calls to collect premiums ✌️
