Smart Use of Covered Calls: Turn Sideways Markets Into a Cash Machine | #OptionsHandbook EP036

Earnings season is volatile. Many investors hold tech stocks like $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ or $Apple(AAPL)$ —sell them and risk missing the rally, keep holding and it feels like wasted time. That’s when the Covered Call strategy shines: keep your shares, sell calls, and collect steady premiums—like rent from a house even if prices don’t rise. Perfect for sideways markets. 📘 The principles of the Covered Call strategy were explained in detail in the previous post. Focusing on practical use, The Options Handbook also highlights key things to watch— ▶ What Is a Covered Call? 🤔 It involves owning at least 100 shares of a stock

Sideways Markets Aren’t “Dead Time”— make money with Straddles/Strangles | #OptionsHandbook EP037

In stocks, it’s usually “up or down.” But when prices stall, both bulls and bears hit “dead time.” Big moves aren’t the norm. In choppy markets, you can use time as a weapon with neutral plays like straddles or strangles. 📘 In The Options Handbook, straddle and strangle strategies are explained like this: ▶ Short Straddle – Higher Income, Tighter Range 🤔 When to Use: You expect very low volatility Structure: Sell a call and a put at the same strike price on the same expiration date P/L Example: Sell a $100 call for $5 premium. Sell a $100 put for $5 premium. Both expire the same date. If price stays between $95–$105, you keep some or all of the premium. If it lands exactly at $100, both options ex

NIO's October Sales Boom: Double Down or Cash Out at $10?

$NIO Inc.(NIO)$ NIO's shares have doubled since April 2025 lows, surging over 90% from its June trough to $6.70 as of August 26, 2025, outpacing the Hang Seng Index's 9% gain in the same period. Morgan Stanley's recent report highlights strong ES8 orders, forecasting monthly sales of 40,000–50,000 units starting in October 2025, potentially driving Q3 deliveries to 78,000-80,000, a 8.3%-11.1% quarter-over-quarter growth. With Q2 deliveries at 103,181 units (up 241.58% year-over-year) and a net loss narrowing to $0.93 billion, NIO's fundamental story is evolving, but questions linger amid brutal unit economics and competition from BYD. The S&P 500 at 6,466.58, Nasdaq at 21,713.14, and Bitcoin at $109,887 reflect a bullish backdrop, but tariffs (

Treasury’s Single-Stock Ban Bombshell: Cash Out Now or Ride to New Highs?

The Treasury Secretary's push for a congressional ban on single-stock trading has sent ripples through Wall Street, with futures dipping and safe-haven assets like gold surging. This bold proposal, aimed at curbing insider trading and closing wealth gaps, spotlights high-profile cases and could reshape how investors play the game. With the S&P 500 at 6,466.58, Nasdaq at 21,713.14, and Bitcoin at $115,000, the market's bullish tone contrasts with tariff pressures (30% on EU/Mexico, 35% on Canada) and oil at $75/barrel. The VIX at 14.49 suggests calm, but the ban's potential to divert capital to ETFs could trigger a rotation rally or a sell-off storm. Is this the time to long gold and short risk assets? This deep dive explores the implications, market reactions, and strategies to navigat

Ethereum Hits New High as Expected, but Volatility Sends Warning Signals

In early August, after Ethereum surged past 4000 with strong momentum, we predicted that bulls would inevitably need to push for a new high. Last week, following Powell’s comments hinting at rate cuts, ETH quickly rallied and ultimately surpassed the late 2021 peak. However, numerous indicators suggest this breakout and new high may not be solid, pointing to a risk of a bull trap.The first signal we focus on is the Average True Range (ATR) volatility indicator. Unlike many assets, Ethereum’s price moves show a clear positive correlation with ATR, indicating ETH behaves more like a cyclical commodity than a pure risk asset like U.S. stocks. Around several notable peaks, volatility has been elevated. Yet, the current new highs—compared to those in 2021 and 2024—feature volatility levels at r

BRK.B 13F : What did Buffett Buy, Sell, Add ?

Deliberation. I have deliberated on whether to put out a post on Warren Buffett’s $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ 13F filings for Q2 2025. This is because I am getting a rather ‘poor’ readership on posts about investment gurus 13F holdings eg. Michael Burry (90 Reposts only) and Bill Ackman (966 Reposts); not to mention ‘mixed’ grading by Tiger. Hence my hesitation. After weighing the benefits to readers and also that I like to know what Buffett is buying before he hands over the rein to Greg Abel in December 2025, here I am - sharing what I have learnt. 13F Filing - latest. Mr Buffett has been a net seller

Alibaba Earnings Face-Off: Food Delivery War or AI Capex to Drive the Surge?

$Alibaba(BABA)$ Alibaba Group is on the brink of its Q2 2025 earnings release on August 29, 2025, with market eyes locked on whether its food delivery battles or AI infrastructure investments will steer the stock higher. Analysts forecast revenue of RMB 266 billion (+9.4% YoY), driven by e-commerce and cloud growth, but adjusted EBITA of RMB 35.3 billion (-21.7% YoY) reflects heavy capex in AI amid competition from Pinduoduo and ByteDance's Ele.me. With the S&P 500 at 6,466.58, Bitcoin at $115,000, and oil at $75/barrel under 30-35% tariffs, the VIX at 14.49 signals calm, but Alibaba's RSI at 55 suggests room for movement. Is Alibaba a superior long-term hold? Will the food delivery war erode profits? Has PDD's risk evaporated post-management'
