To The Moon

I am new to options and trying to understand the concepts and also how options work on tiger brokers as mine is a small account. I heard tiger brokers settles stock options in stocks and index options in cash. I just want to understand how things work. Say, I put up a trade with following legs: BUY 1x 395.00 CALL (premium = $ 26.43) SELL 2x 385.00 CALL (premium = $ 30.50) BUY 1x 375.00 CALL (premium = $36.00) At the outset, this will be a - $ 143 (-2643+3050+3050-3600). This is a small amount. My small account can afford this.  Q1: Is only 143 taken from the account or is it only settled at expiry or when trade is closed. Q2: Any other margin requirements to put the trade on? If at expiry, the price is $ 370 (below all the strikes), then all calls are worthless and you loose $ 1

$iShares Bitcoin Trust(IBIT)$ Bitcoin’s Big Correction: Time to Buy IBIT Bitcoin has corrected significantly, presenting an opportunity to buy the dip. After securing profits from selling call options, I’m shifting my focus to IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) to capitalize on this pullback. This correction is not surprising, given Bitcoin’s recent rally and the broader market’s reaction to macroeconomic factors. However, Bitcoin has historically rebounded strongly after corrections, and I see this as a strategic entry point rather than a reason for concern. Having earned premiums from selling calls, I now have additional liquidity to deploy. Instead of chasing Bitcoin at higher prices, I prefer accumulating IBIT while prices stabilize, positionin

$.SPX(.SPX)$ $Microsoft(MSFT)$ $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ The S&P 500 is down, the Nasdaq is down , and small caps are down. There's a lot of panic in the markets right now, and a lot of chatter surrounding Trump's tariffs—25% on Canada and Mexico, and 10% on China. This is my second video today, which I don't usually do, but I feel it’s important to talk about this setup and, more importantly, help you avoid some common mistakes that many investors make during a pullback. If this turns into a major decline, which it seems like it could, I’ll walk you through the typical mistakes that could trip you up and share my thoughts on a few stocks I’m considering buying

$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Taking Profits on Google Amid Trade War Concerns I sold my Google (GOOGL) shares at $201.53, securing a solid profit given my cost basis of $191. While I remain confident in Google’s long-term potential, I see short-term risks emerging due to U.S. tariff policies that could lead to retaliation from Canada, Mexico, and other trading partners. These geopolitical tensions have historically introduced market volatility, and I prefer to lock in gains while the stock is trading near its recent highs. The U.S. has been aggressively implementing tariffs, and history shows that such actions rarely go unanswered. If key trading partners impose counter-tariffs or regulatory restrictions, tech giants like Google—which operate on a glob

The recent developments surrounding DeepSeek's shift away from $NVIDIA(NVDA)$'s CUDA ecosystem have raised significant questions about NVIDIA's competitive advantage in the GPU market. DeepSeek's innovative approach, which bypasses the traditional reliance on CUDA, has led to discussions about the potential erosion of NVIDIA's market dominance. DeepSeek's Approach and Its Implications DeepSeek has achieved a breakthrough by utilizing NVIDIA's assembly-like PTX programming instead of the industry-standard CUDA for certain functions. This method allows for dramatic optimizations, though it requires a deep understanding of low-level programming. By circumventing CUDA, DeepSeek has demonstrated that it's possible to develop high-performance AI models

As of February 3, 2025, quantum computing has transitioned from theoretical research to practical applications, revolutionizing various industries. This article explores the current state of quantum computing, its recent advancements, and its potential impact on technology and society. 1. Understanding Quantum Computing 🔍 Key Concepts Qubits: The basic units of quantum information, analogous to classical bits but capable of representing both 0 and 1 simultaneously through superposition. Superposition: Allows qubits to exist in multiple states at once, enabling complex computations. Entanglement: A phenomenon where qubits become interconnected, such that the state of one qubit directly influences the state of another, regardless of distance. 2. Recent Milestones in Quantum Computing 🏆 Notab

$BABA-W(09988)$  $Alibaba(BABA)$  Today, Alibaba's  price movement in the Hong Kong market is primarily a recalibration following the three-day closure due to the Chinese New Year holidays. The surge in its Hong Kong shares reflects a catch-up effect with its ADR performance rather than an independent bullish trend. Alibaba's recent stock rally is driven by multiple factors, with the launch of its new AI model Qwen2.5-Max playing a significant role. The company claims this model outperforms competitors like DeepSeek and Meta, boosting investor confidence. However, the sustainability of this rally is questionable due to several factors: Cloud operations, while
