      $RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ 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,

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ riding the horse for me in 2026 will be about a lot of things. But in this article I will just focus on one concept, misconception. So I call myself the emotional investor. Does that mean I get emotional about stocks? Quite the contrary. I watch the emotional decisions of others, and act, based on their misconceptions. Here's a few examples... Capital raises cause shareholder dilution, therefore it's a bad thing. Well it can be if it's because the company is bleeding money and their prospects going forward are poor. But more often than not companies raise new capital to buy new stuff that will ultimately add significant upside to revenue, margins, etc. so while the stock price tends to suffer negatively short term, long

      The Big Scary Myth Stalking the Stock Market

      Are you worried that investing in today's technology-focused stock market is dangerous?Imagine a time machine, like Doc Brown's DeLorean in "Back to the Future, " that could transport us to the best possible times in history to invest. I don't know about you, but I would set the destination circuits to June 1, 1932. On that date, the S&P 500 had fallen 86.2% from its peak price in 1929.That way, I could earn some of the highest annualized long-term total returns ever recorded: roughly 12.3%, 15.1% and 16.1% over the ensuing 10, 20 and 25 years, respectively. A 16.1% annualized return over 25 years would turn $100,000 into nearly $4.2 million.I wouldn't thank Doc Brown's flux capacitor for my millions. Instead, I'd thank what many financial advisers and asset managers call a "dangerously overconcentrated" stock market.In the 1990s, brokers called index funds "tax bombs" that would supposedly hit investors with huge, unexpected tax bills. Then came warnings that index funds couldn't pro

      Interesting idea
      @MojoStellar
      This Valentine’s Day, I didn’t choose roses 🌹 — I chose returns. Instead of flowers 🥀 that fade, I gave the gift of strong stocks 📈— an unlimited growth asset for the one I love❤️. Maybe I’m not the poetic or overly romantic type, but I believe in practical love. The kind that compounds💓. The kind that appreciates over time🚀. To me, love is a long-term hold. A high-conviction position. An investment in a shared future where smart decisions today create unlimited cash flow and, more importantly, unlimited time tomorrow. Because real wealth isn’t just about profits — it’s about freedom. Freedom to spend more time together. Freedom to give back. Freedom to support meaningful causes and do more social good. Thank you, my good buddy @koolgal <

      Hmmmm, so the question posed is, is Ai a dead cat bounce. I have actually experienced a dead cat bounce. it was way back in the share market crash in 1987. By all means look that up. The initial crash was insane. Black Friday I think we called it. in one day if I recall correctly the market dropped 25%. It was a wee while ago, So the details are sketchy. but I was fine, until I wasn't. I'd sold my biggest stake in a couple of companies a few days prior to the crash. So about 50% of my portfolio was liquid. Come Monday stocks recovered and I pulled the trigger on the new stocks I wanted to buy. From memory I think the market recovered about 5% to 10%. On Tuesday, the market dropped about 50%. That my tiger friends Is a dead cat bounce! From there it just kept getting worse. And it did

      After JP Morgan seriously manipulated paper silver and gold prices last Thursday I really don't trust anything they say. Is this another pump so they can dump. Technically nothing they did was illegal, although you could argue they used insider knowledge of when other traders would be margin called. And their timing for repurchase was absolute perfection, which is basically impossible unless you know something others don't.  But paper silver and gold, perhaps even the comex itself is a dead man walking. they change the rules to suit themselves. for example, Once the paper silver reserves of real silver go to zero (which will occur in just over 2 weeks) expect the rules to change again. Paper silver will no longer need to be backed by real silver reserves. Also you will no longer be ab

      $Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ Ok I'm sharing this post with my tiger friends because I have a couple of very important ideas to disclose. I brought into VG at around $15, and soon after due to law suits it plummeted to around half that. Now whenever I pull the trigger on a new stock, I write a 1 to 2 page memo to self on why I'm buying it, I tend to start with small amounts initially and add over time. i was adding as it dropped when it got really low, I tripped down. Why? Well I had underestimated the impacts of potential law suits. But I also believe it's crazy cheap even if they loose the law suits. Incidentally, last week I sold half my position to bank the profits I have made On its recovery.  Still own 3x more than I started with. but t

      Ok wait, are you talking paper silver? Or actual silver. Paper silver is going to zero bro. It's worthless. Why? It's a bit of paper. Wake up and smell the coffee. Real silver, like the bars are still worth $120 an ounce. Personally I'll make a fortune once people wake up... if they wake up. I'm just buying $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$  because It's a company that mines silver and gold.  The sheep of wall street keep getting hurded. The shepherds are corrupt to the core. I will just do my thing regardless.  Happy trading my fellow tigers

      Interestingly, tiger actually sent us all an email a few weeks ago warning us about pump and dump scams. Their is no market crash what so ever in my humble opinion. But there is definitely a lot of pumping and dumping.  My strategy going forward is simple. Hold stocks you know and trust. Don't trust the daily bs. Trust you own research. If those stocks get pumped, maybe trim. If they get dumped, perhaps buy more. and 2026 is not a good year to invest in anything that has an expiration date. I will not buy calls, I will not sell puts, I'll just hold the stock.  @MillionaireTiger  @TigerTrade  @Tiger_SG
