To The Moon

In the fast-paced world of tech stock trading, volatility brought risks, but also opportunities. This week, the AI infrastructure sector has been roiled by turbulence. Oracle’s stock has fallen over 11% this month, sparked by partner Blue Owl Capital pausing support for its $10 billion data center project — even as the company stated negotiations remain on track, market doubts linger. Meanwhile, Oracle is ramping up AI infrastructure spending, lifting this fiscal year’s capital expenditure to $50 billion and seeing its data center lease commitments surge to $248 billion, leaving investors cautious about returns amid heavy spending and debt reliance.

Broadcom, too, has seen sharp volatility: it has fallen 9.4% so far this week and more than 19% so far in December, bringing its decline from recent all-time highs to 18% and erasing over $300 billion in market cap. While the company expects AI chip sales to double to $8.2 billion this quarter, expectations of higher spending on server components and lower gross margins for AI chips have left investors facing near-term profit pressure.

As the sector faces headwinds and cautious sentiment, Tiger Investors have turned to options to swim against the tide — how did they lock in gains amid this volatility? Let’s move on~[Grin]

@assassinyj’s ORCL PUT trade is a perfect example of capitalizing on this week’s sector pullback! He locked in a 626.26 USD profit amid sector headwinds and used a put option to turn downward price momentum into tangible gains, turning volatility into an opportunity! Great call on this timely play! View More>>

@Wai Khean’s AVGO PUT trade shows serious market intuition! Amid cautious sector sentiment and Broadcom’s massive market cap drop, he locked in 416.51 USD in profit by using the low-cost power of options to capitalize on short-term market swings. Great call on this sharp play! View More>>

This week, Tesla's (TSLA.US) stock experienced intense swings. On Tuesday, the stock closed at $489.88, a record-breaking breakthrough above the $480 mark, driven mainly by Elon Musk's Sunday announcement of 'robotaxi testing without safety drivers'—the market's anticipation for the rollout of its autonomous driving continued to rise. Barclays analysts also mentioned that achieving the removal of safety drivers by the end of the year would further elevate the narrative hype.

Behind the hype, analysts openly state that Tesla's stock price is highly tied to autonomous driving, with its core automotive business worth only $30-40 per share. William Blair's head of energy research further pointed out that pricing Tesla from the perspectives of autonomous driving and energy has created a “shocking disconnect” between its market value and the fundamentals of its automotive business.

Would you trade the stock or opt for options in this volatile market? Let’s see how Tiger Investors have leveraged options to capitalize on this momentum!

@炸猪排’s TSLA CALL trade perfectly rode the wave of Tesla’s autonomous driving hype this week! He locked in 539.26 USD in profit amid the stock’s surge driven by Robotaxi test news and used this call option to capitalize on the sentiment-fueled rally, turning market excitement into tangible gains! Major props for the disciplined play! View More>>

@Guardian_J entered this TSLA PUT option at a cost price of 10.84 and locked in an impressive 1,081.25 USD profit! Not only did he nail the short-term pullback, but he also leveraged options’ flexibility to maximize gains. This kind of market timing and strategic use of options turns choppy price action into a winning opportunity! Impressive call on this one! View More>>

Despite being a leader in AI applications, the stock price of Palantir (PLTR.US) has experienced a pullback due to the recent global equity market panic sell-off triggered by the so-called "AI bubble narrative". “Big Short” Michael Burry, who compares the AI frenzy to the dot-com and housing bubbles, bets against Palantir’s shares, and predicts the bubble will burst in two years. However, Bank of America’s note endorses its strength, noting enterprise and government purchases of its AI tools are accelerating with no slowdown. Meanwhile, the launch of the “ShipOS” program ties it closer to defense contracts, strengthening its business logic.

How do you seize opportunities with options amid this tug-of-war? Just look at the moves from our Tiger Options users!

@AppleSeed nailed the art of “buying the dip” with this trade! When Palantir pulled back on “AI bubble” fears, he jumped on a PLTR CALL — and now he’s sitting on an unrealized 8,374.26 USD gain. He turned a short-term sentiment-driven drop into a massive win, riding the wave of strong fundamentals. This is how you turn market division into profit with options! View More>>

@enforcer’s PLTR PUT trade shows exactly why options are so useful! He bought this put option at a cost of 5.32, and walked away with 5,172.49 USD in profit — amid Palantir’s back-and-forth market, he didn’t bet on long-term trends. Instead, he used options’ ability to capture short-term swings without spending too much, and nailed this pullback. Nice work on the calculated play! View More>>

Let’s give a big round of applause to our winners! @assassinyj, @Wai Khean, @enforcer and @炸猪排 have each earned an options mouse pad. @Guardian_J takes home an options handbook, and @AppleSeed wins a USD 5 options voucher. Keep sharing your options insights to join this winning circle!
