🧾 How I Earned $19 in Just One Week Selling Cash-Secured Puts on TIGR
🧾 How I Earned $19 in Just One Week Selling Cash-Secured Puts on TIGR 💼 Strategic Income Through Options Last week, I executed a simple yet effective cash-secured put (CSP) strategy on TIGR (UP Fintech Holding Ltd), targeting the $8.00 strike price. Instead of buying the stock outright, I sold a short-dated put option that allowed me to collect premium while potentially owning the stock at a discount if assigned. 📆 The Timeline • June 17, 2025: I sold 1 lot of TIGR PUT 20250718 at a strike of $8.00 and collected a premium of $0.27 per share (total: $27 for 100 shares). • June 25, 2025: With the stock holding steady above $8, I bought back the same contract at $0.08, paying $8 to close it. 💰 My Profit Breakdown By selling high and buying back lower, I locked in a tidy profit: • Premium earn
📉Why I Sold a Put option Instead of wait to Buy IWM at $208
On June 23, 2025, I was closely monitoring the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). The technical setup was attractive—price action had shown steady upward momentum, closing strong at $211.77 with a daily gain of +1.22%, riding well above its 5-day and 10-day EMAs. I initially planned to buy in at $208, expecting a short-term breakout continuation. But instead, I made a more calculated move—I sold a cash-secured put at a strike price of $209, collecting $1.12 in premium. ⸻ 💼 The Reasoning Behind the Put Sale IWM had shown clear resilience, staying above its 20-day and 30-day exponential moving averages. But at $208, I felt there was still short-term volatility due to macroeconomic uncertainty and overbought KDJ signals (K: 38.65, D: 43.78, J: 28.40), which hinted at potential sideways movement.
I would be lying if I say I knew before hand I knew about either events of cryptocurrency licensing by $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ or Li Lin's substantial stake in the broker. I am a simple trader cum investor. I happened to chance upon a slow but steady uptrend performance by the broker (see chart below). It seems so simple, higher highs and higher lows, slow and steady. I have used BOLL chart indicators as my guide in this case as I realised that the turning points seem to coincide nicely with those extremes. In this case, rather than taking a long position, as I see it was near the valley, aka low side turning point, I just bought a call option. As it turns out, I was early... prior yesterday's strong performance, I was still down quite substan
On the evening of June 23 (local time), Iran launched 19 missiles at the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation—but the strike ended with “zero casualties,” a symbolic gesture more than an escalation. What was once seen as a potential tipping point in the Middle East abruptly deescalated within 48 hours, as former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel, declaring that “the time for peace has come.” Yet, it appears that the markets had already priced in the likelihood of a swift resolution shaped by the strategic calculations of the U.S., Iran, and Israel. “Theatrical Retaliation” and a Logic of De-escalation Throughout the 12-day conflict, Iran adopted a “strike and talk” pattern—retaliating one day, expressing willingness to negotiate the ne

Super Micro, Super Panic? Why a $2B Note Doesn’t Deserve a 10% Slap
Convertible notes aren’t doomsday—just a clever playbook twist in SMCI’s growth script When Super Micro Computer (SMCI) dropped 10% following the announcement of a $2 billion convertible notes offering, I wasn’t surprised—Wall Street does have a flair for the dramatic. But once I dug in, it struck me that this might just be another classic case of overreaction theatre. Market panic often misses the logic behind the wires So, what’s really going on here? Is SMCI secretly lighting fires behind the server racks, or are we just witnessing a misunderstood capital raise with a side of market indigestion? Let’s unpack it. Convertible Notes: Debt in Disguise—or Strategic Genius? SMCI plans to issue $2 billion in convertible senior notes due 2030. That’s corporate speak for: “We’re raising cash now
Tesla’s Driverless Car Launch Sends Stock Surging — But Is the Hype Already Fully Priced In?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ After years of bold promises and ambitious forecasts, Tesla has finally begun testing fully autonomous vehicles on public roads—and the stock market responded with a surge of enthusiasm. On Sunday, Tesla quietly rolled out paid driverless rides in Texas. By Monday morning, Tesla shares jumped more than 8%, signaling renewed investor optimism in the company’s self-driving ambitions. This marks a potentially pivotal moment in Tesla’s long-term story. The company has been touting its autonomous driving capabilities for nearly a decade, consistently asserting that full self-driving (FSD) was “just around the corner.” While delays and regulatory hurdles have kept that vision from materializing—until now—this recent launch represent
Broadcom Stock Deep Dive: Growth Powerhouse or Overpriced Tech Giant?
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) stands as one of the semiconductor industry’s marquee names, widely recognized for its expansive product portfolio and strategic acquisitions that have propelled it into the upper echelon of chipmakers globally. However, while the stock has delivered spectacular returns over the last decade, recent trading activity has sparked a fascinating debate among investors: Is Broadcom’s current valuation justified by its fundamentals, or are we witnessing a classic case of overpricing fueled by excessive market enthusiasm? A Stellar Performance Amid Market Volatility Broadcom’s stock has been a powerhouse over the long haul. Over the past 10 years, it has delivered an astonishing cumulative return exceeding 1,6
From Tigers to Rockets: Can This Broker Leap to $10 on a Digital Tailwind?
Virtual asset licenses spark euphoria — but can fundamentals carry Tiger Brokers the rest of the way? Is it just me, or did Guotai Junan International forget gravity existed? The stock rocketed 198% intraday on 25 June after news broke of its upgraded Hong Kong license to offer virtual asset trading. That’s not a rally — that’s orbital. Meanwhile, Tiger Brokers quietly padded up 12% in pre-market trading, as investors remembered, 'Wait... don’t they already have a crypto licence?' Not all rockets wear jet fuel — some leap with claws Naturally, the next question is whether $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ )has enough fuel to claw its way to $10 — a neat round figure, and a 45% jump from its current $6.87. But as with any market excitement, we must separate th

“Uber (UBER): The Robotaxi Revolution Propels a Bullish Surge to $100+”
Uber Technologies Inc. (UBER) is poised for a transformative leap, with its stock price at $91.65 reflecting a robust foundation for a bullish breakout. The recent 8% surge following the launch of its robotaxi service with Waymo in Atlanta, coupled with a year-to-date gain of 44%, signals a company on the cusp of a technological revolution. With a market buzzing with optimism and technical indicators aligning, I am strongly bullish on UBER’s potential to surge past $100 in the near term.

$Hims & Hers Health Inc.(HIMS)$ A massive wave of volatility hit the market this week, and Hims & Hers Health (NYSE: HIMS) found itself at the epicenter.

📉 Google’s Profits Soar, But a Hidden Metric Is Quietly Falling — Should Investors Worry?
🌟【#GoogleWatch】🌟 Whispering a little secret: Among all the tech giants, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ actually has the lowest valuation! No wonder so many investors are eyeing it with interest ❤️ And guess what? In 2024, Google’s net profit surpassed Apple 🍎 and Microsoft 💻, making it the most profitable company in the world! 🎉 But here’s the catch— Although Google claims that search volume is still growing, they didn’t give us any hard numbers 🤔 If we peek at a lesser-known but super important metric called “Paid Clicks” 📉, it’s been declining steadily since 2022, and there’s no sign of recovery. If this trend continues, we might even see negative growth this year ⚠️ 💡 What’s a “Paid Click”? It’s when a user clicks on an ad and the advertiser

I align with the philosophy that investing is about lasting the longest, not just making the most money quickly—echoing Warren Buffett's marathon, not sprint, mindset. My strategy focuses on longevity and steady growth over time. Here's my approach: Target Top Companies with Strong Financials: I seek out the best companies globally, prioritizing those with robust balance sheets, consistent earnings, and competitive advantages.

Recession or Resurgence? It’s basically a case of mixed signals.

As things currently stand, for now we can rule out recession. But that leaves an open question on the other big macro risk…

Is Big July Rally Coming? My Potential Stocks To Buy and Smart Plays
The U.S. stock market is currently nearing all-time highs as of late June 2025. Whether a "BIG July rally" is definitively coming is difficult to predict with certainty, as market performance is influenced by a multitude of factors that can shift rapidly. In this article I would like to discuss on some of the indicators and analyst sentiments that can help inform our perspective. July One Of Strongest Months For U.S. Equities Historically It is looking like July could be a hot one— not just weather-wise, but on Wall Street too. Historically, July has been one of the strongest months for U.S. equities, with the S&P 500 averaging a 1.7% gain and finishing higher more than 60% of the time since 1928. This year, several tailwinds are aligning: Rate cut optimism: Fed officials, including Vi
