🌐Silver (SLV) Is At All-Time High… Can You Still Buy Without Getting Burned?

Silver is everywhere right now. New highs. Social media buzz. Headlines screaming that silver is exploding. And if you’re like most people, one uncomfortable question keeps popping up: Did I miss it? Before you rush to buy — or walk away — let’s slow this down and look at what’s really happening, why silver is different from gold, where it could go next, and what risks most people don’t see until it’s too late. This is not hype. This is the real silver story — in plain English. Why Silver Is Suddenly Stealing the Spotlight Gold has always been the safe metal. Silver is different. Silver is not just a shiny store of value. It is a working metal. Roughly half of all silver demand comes from industry, not investors. That means silver is used — consumed — every single day in: Solar panels Elec

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  For: Year-End Options Recap: Share Your Most Memorable Trade of 2025! Title: My 2025 Lesson: Trading Volatility, Not Just Direction 2025 was the year I learned that in a market driven by macro swings and AI euphoria, managing volatility is more critical than predicting direction. The Memorable Trade: NVDA "Iron Condor" during April's Tariff Panic. · Setup: With NVDA at all-time highs and geopolitical headlines sparking fear, I sold an out-of-the-money call spread and put spread ahead of earnings (the "Iron Condor"). · Thesis: I didn't know if NVDA would go up or down, but I believed the extreme implied volatility was overstated. The market was pricing in a massive move (>±10%), but I expected a binary "relief rally"

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Selling Puts for most profitable stocks like Tesla & Nvda as premium was very good. Later focus only only on INTC which is a no-brainer with Donald Trump's backing. Up almost 40%, recovering from loses from Singapore's stocks.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 reinforced one timeless lesson for options traders: volatility is only an opportunity if risk is defined. My standout trade was not a spectacular win, but a well-timed hedge. Buying index puts ahead of the April tariff shock meaningfully cushioned the portfolio when correlations spiked and liquidity thinned. The hedge paid for itself and, more importantly, preserved decision-making clarity when emotions were running high. The hardest lesson came from the AI surge. I exited a profitable call spread too early, underestimating how long momentum and narrative can overpower valuation. It was a reminder that being “right” on fundamentals does not always mean being right on timing. If 2025 taught me anything, it is this: optio

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 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

Year-End Options Recap 2025: The Trades That Paid Me, and the Ones That Taught Me

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   As 2025 winds down, it feels like the right moment to step back and be honest about the trades that defined the year for me, not just the wins, but the ones that tested discipline, patience, and ego. This was a year where markets rewarded timing and punished complacency. AI mania, crypto euphoria, sudden macro shifts, and violent rotations made it impossible to coast. You either managed risk actively, or the market managed you. Here are my two most memorable trades of 2025, for very different reasons: The Best Trade: Selling MSTR Before the Drop My most memorable win this year was not a flashy multi-bagger. It was selling MSTR before it rolled over. MSTR had become one of the most crowded expressions of Bitcoin optimis

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  📊 Year-End Options Recap 2025 — A Portfolio-Driven Analysis Theme: Concentrated AI Beta, Managed with Options Structure Looking at my current portfolio, 2025 was not about diversification — it was about owning the right volatility. Over 60% of my P&L came from NVDA, PLTR, TSLA, and AMD, all names with: • High gamma sensitivity • Event-driven volatility • Strong upside skew That made options a necessity, not a choice. ⸻ 🔹 1. NVDA — Monetising IV Compression After Panic 📉➡️📈 April 2025: Tariff Shock • NVDA sold off aggressively despite no change to AI capex demand • IV jumped into the 80–90th percentile • Downside skew widened irrationally Options Decision Instead of adding shares: • Bought ITM call spreads (Δ ≈ 0.60)

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 reinforced one lesson for me. Options are tools for risk control first, profit second. My standout trade was not a spectacular win, but a protective put on a tech-heavy position ahead of April’s tariff shock. The hedge capped downside when correlations spiked and liquidity thinned. It bought time, clarity, and psychological space to act rationally rather than react emotionally. The harder lesson came later in the year from an overconfident short-dated call during an AI momentum phase. The thesis was right, the timing was not. Volatility collapsed faster than expected, and theta did the damage. A reminder that conviction without patience is expensive. If 2025 taught me anything, it is this. In volatile markets, the best

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ For me it was an Options trade which I had keyed in the wrong lot size. It was a costly mistakes and I lost a few hundred dollars in the span of a few minutes. Ironically I was multitasking and watching some video on investing. What I learnt was not to be distracted when placing trades.

$10 Million VIX Call Block Signals Rising Volatility

$ORCL$ If OpenAI’s commercialization engine were truly firing on all cylinders, Oracle’s stock reaction to this earnings report would likely look very different. With the same earnings data, price action tells its own story — and it’s underwhelming. As a result, whether $ORCL$ becomes a dip-buying opportunity hinges almost entirely on OpenAI’s ability to monetize, or on the emergence of another AI heavyweight with a “killer product” that convinces the market current server capacity is nowhere near enough — positioning Oracle as a future infrastructure winner. At Thursday’s open, a trader made a precisely timed move, buying 10,000 contracts of the weekly 190P $ORCL 20251212 190.0 PUT$ . Separately, just before Wednesday’s

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2025 was a reminder that options are less about prediction and more about preparation. My standout takeaway was not a single spectacular win, but how disciplined structures mattered more than bold direction. In a year driven by tariffs, rate surprises, and AI re-rating cycles, defined-risk strategies consistently outperformed emotional conviction. Well-timed call spreads around earnings captured upside without overpaying for volatility. Protective puts and collars proved invaluable during sharp macro drawdowns, preserving capital when sentiment flipped overnight. The toughest losses came from underestimating how quickly implied volatility could compress after major events, even when the thesis was right. The key lesson from

For me, 2025 was the year I finally stepped into options trading—and I’m glad I started. I’m still a beginner, but my first trade, a PLTR call, ended with a small profit and gave me the confidence to explore options. Even so, I still trade mostly the underlying stocks because I’m not fully comfortable with the complexities of options yet. I prefer to take things slow while I learn about strike selection, expiration management, and position sizing, so sticking with shares kept my portfolio steady through the year’s volatility. AI was the biggest driver of my portfolio in 2025, and starting my options journey with Palantir felt fitting. The sector’s strength carried my performance, and I’m looking forward to building on what I learned as I continue improving my option strategies in 2026. I’
