$RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,

So last year was extremely volatile. this year is shaping up to be even more volatile. There appears to be no stocks that offer a safe haven. The set up, if we just look at what JP Morgan did last Friday with paper silver… create fake news, first it’s silver is cheap at $120, the next day it’s reverse fake news, new fed chair will crash the silver market. No. JP Morgan caused it. They shorted silver, comex significantly increased the margin requirements and the crash was inevitable. Smaller traders got called, price came down forcing larger traders to be called, price then came down further forcing stop losses to kick in and also algorithm trades. This killed paper silver. An J.P. Morgan with all their inside information made billions swooping in at exactly the right moment. So my strate

Ok let's cut to the chase. Gold and silver are still at record highs. FACT! The cat isn't dead so there is no bouncy pussy cat. Holding actually gold or silver in you sock draw is fine. Holding stocks in mining companies, is a better strategy for me though. Because I get dividend income. Or I bank resources in the ground still. It's better than a bank vault.  It's so obvious what is happening, why doesn't Everyone understand? The drop in silver And gold is very simple. Its actually not a drop at all. It's a manipulation of a bit of meaningless paper. WAKE UP. If you buy a futures contract for silver for example, you need to sell it before it expires, because if you excise the paper, you are not getting silver. It's a bit of meaningless paper.  The banks know it. And they just rip

Today, pre market at present, I'm watching $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$  very closely. I opened a very small position last week at record highs. Was that stupid? Was it FOMO? I mean in retrospect if I'd just waited a few days I'd now get it for $10 less per share.  But an important rule of emotional investing... would've, could've, should've is a mugs game. You cannot time the market. Yet everyone tries to, and very occasionally they get it right, but normally they don't.  So to combat all this. I deploy a strategy that minimises the issue. Every week when I get paid, $50 goes into my trading account. And most weeks I deploy that into a stock in my portfolio thats is the Best Buy. This week it will likely be pan American.&n

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Here is the problem ladies and gentleman. It's called instant gratification. As the emotional investor, this creates opportunities. Pltr is crazy expensive on all traditional metrics. And yet, is it? let's start with how you determine the value of a stock.  Back in the 1940s Ben graham And David Dodd nailed it. You buy a stock when it's worth half its break up value. Simple but on point. the mentors of Warren buffet btw. But Mr buffet introduced a new concept. Value is not just tangible assets, it's about moats and brands. Less tangible assets, but assets all the same.  But now there is a new asset. We are no longer in the 1940s or the 1980s. Last time I checked it's 2026. I am rooted in the concepts of

So I've spent a good six months now learning as much as I can about the mining and oil and gas sectors. These are clearly counter cyclical stocks. Brought into $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$  about a year ago, and watched it go nuts. About 6 months ago I also brought into $SILVER MINES LTD(SVL.AU)$  and it's done nicely too, even after the crashes the last few days. I am a bull on mining and oil and gas going forward. So much so that I have divested most of my dividend stocks to go counter cyclical. Was I crazy buying into $BHP GROUP LTD(BHP.AU)$   and $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$

So those that follow me are probably already aware that I brought into $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$  around a year ago and it's up over 60%. Santana is an Australian based gold Mining company with the rights to mine in proven gold fields in New Zealand.  So the question posed here is with gold hitting record highs, will it pull back, or will it continue to climb? My answer is easy. I don't care. Why? Well the answer to this is more complex. But if I had brought gold bars, rather than shares in a gold mining company, well maybe I'd be selling the gold bars now, because While there might be more upside, there could also be a pullback. So time to bank profits. When i brought santana its original due diligence and mining feasibility

Seriously, trump invading Greenland? An prior to that annexing Canada. It's just a complete and utter orange clown circus. And sadly  the American people will pay for decades. Sorry the rest of the world is over the clown show. America has become a reality TV show. But it's not based on reality. It's very sad that one idiot will have such a negative impact on so many. But he was voted in. So stupid is what stupid does

$AST SpaceMobile, Inc.(ASTS)$ So I really do understand this stock. Every single time I believe the stock is seriously overpriced. It hits me like a two by four in the face and just skyrockets even further. it's well over $100 now. My DCA is like $25 ish. And I brought more at around $80. Cause here's the thing. Pretty much all of the largest global telcos have skin in the ASTS game. Why? Because they have no choice. ASTS is their lifeline. Without it they all die Slowly but horribly. Let me explain... So I live in a house that has no cell coverage. I have a very old copper line connected but it's so old, it just doesn't work at all. So no cell, no broadband, not even a landline. So I have no choice. I must use starlink and also must pay a telco t

I own a lot of bank and investment bank stocks plus Amex, visa and sofi. All have have an annualized return of over 50% and a third over 100%. Well by all, I mean all but one. Visa has sucked, oh wait if I lump PayPal in there to, it’s very suckie. My annualized return on visa is -1% give or take. PayPal is like -20%. But pretty insignificant compared to overall gains. But as I looks through my investment notes, it clear. $Citigroup(C)$ was a no brainer. And old fashioned value stock when I brought it. David Dodd would be proud. It was trading at around half of its break up value when I brought it. You never find stocks like that these days. But find it I did. I brought ALOt of different bank stocks during the “banking crisis” around two years ago.

Silver is far from done. There is a global shortage that cannot be resolved in the medium term. So I'll be buying the dips. But while everyone is frothing over gold and silver prices. They are not focused on the bigger picture.  That my tiger friends is copper. So the future reality in the short to medium term is the massive requirement for new data centers and thus also new power generation infrastructure. So while the gold and silver resources required for data centers can be measured in 10s of kilograms, the copper requirements are measured in the 1000s of kilograms. For a single data center. More and more I get questions from my fellow tigers asking how am I increasing my wealth so quickly. copper is a clear example. It's obvious to me, but clearly not that obvious to others. 

$Eos Energy Enterprises Inc.(EOSE)$  stock price has surged in the last few days. But I can't find any material information that would support this sudden surge. Well tomorrow they have a presentation with updates on their progress. It's at 3am my time so I guess there might be some color when I wake up. Definitely a stock to watch though.  Still a lot of negativity and misinformation surrounding this stock. But I like it. My research indicates that it old school battery technology with a lot of modern improvements. It has clear advantages over lithium technology for some applications, like longer term storage solutions for solar and wind farm generation. No fire risk, or cooling issues that lithium has either. And the supply chain is wi

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Probably why I keep going on about this stock

So as we leave Christmas and the new year behind, the biggest question on my mind and I'm picking a lot of other tigers minds is... what am I going to invest in this year. With that addressed let's get into it. I'll paraphrase a bit but the mighty Warren buffet is on record saying that amazing management will look bad with a terrible product, and terrible management will turn a great product into rubbish. So stocks to invest in today and this year, need to have great products and great management.  Obviously if you follow me you know the holly grail of this for me is $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$  the management, the products and the execution defies the laws of physics. I believe one of the first articles I wrote here in tiger a cou

As you travel along you investment path, there is one book that is absolutely Epic. arguably the holly grail of investment books. It's not the first book you should read. it was first publishes in 1943, and its 725 pages of pure hell. It's dry, it goes into minute detail but it's about understanding value. A much easier read would be "the intelligent investor" by Ben graham. I'd read that first. it teaches you the what but not the how.  "Securities analysis" by Ben graham and David Dodd Is the book I speak of. It teaches you the how. The discipline it must have taken to write is insane. But the discipline it will take you to read it... crazy. If you know nothing about interpreting financial statements, you will know everything.  Yes it was written in 1943, irrelevant? Certai

$Apple(AAPL)$ well, buy the dip or investment trap? Let me think. To buy a dip, it must be a dip. And to understand if it's a dip, I think you need to do ALOT of DD to find out. So let's go there with apple, from a personal users perspective. Buckle up tiger friends cause it's story time. So in 1988, I started my journey towards a university degree in business. One of the first papers I did was called computer systems. three quarters of the course was learning on an IBM (no compatibles then, just IBM). The last quarter was learning apples.  After I completed the course, it was like black and white. Dos, Edlin and Joe spreadsheet and the green screen absolutely sucked. Apple on the other hand, grey and white screen, an operating syst

So I'm really not concerned if silver sells of. I don't own silver directly. I don't trade it as a commodity either. I just own shares in $SILVER MINES LTD(SVL.AU)$  . They are a silver mining company based in Australia predominantly with the rights to arguably the largest silver mine deposits in Australia. They have proven out their reserves. But only expect to secure government approval to start mining as early as mid 2026.  In an earlier article I wrote incorrectly that the licensing was in place, but it's not yet. Realistically I don't think they will start mining til 2027/2028. But they also have mining businesses in California and a few other spots that mite start production sooner. This does not concern me though, it wasn't

Great questions. I believe stock market "rebels" are rebels because the look outside the square. I wouldn't consider myself a rebel. Instead I'd like to suggest I notice stuff that most don't.  On that note I've shared 3 screenshots below. These screenshots are of my youngest son and my two grandchildren's Portfolios, that I set up. I started them all out with $100, and put $5 In every week, plus a bit more on birthdays and Christmas. Started the sons one later, that's why his portfolio is smaller. But as you look at the pics below you will quickly note that some investments in the same stocks have significantly different returns. You will probably also get brain freeze over the diversity of stocks I have them in. But that's another story.  So getting to the point. I manage my po
