To The Moon

I'm an ISTF investor, a paradox of data and intuition. As a true Introvert, I trust my own research more than any public forum, spending quiet hours building my long-term thesis. I am a Sensing type, grounded in clear fundamentals. For stable companies like OCBC, SMFG, and TSMC, my Thinking side is analytical and decisive. I rely on balance sheets, dividend payouts, and an Excel model to make planned, methodical investments. But there is another side to my portfolio. With companies like Nvidia, my Feeling side takes over. I become a momentum trader, following the vibe and energy of the market. I study the charts and social sentiment, feeling when a breakout is about to happen. While my head tells me to be cautious, my gut tells me when to act. It's a blend of logic and instinct, defining

Powell’s remarks at Jackson Hole were a clear dovish shift. By flagging rising downside risks to employment, he’s signalling that the Fed is prepared to pivot from a singular inflation focus to a more balanced stance. The adoption of a flexible inflation-targeting framework reinforces that message, effectively giving policymakers more room to cut without being boxed in by the old “make-up” approach. From a trading perspective, the market’s reaction was justified—equities and crypto ripping higher as September cuts are now seen as a 90% probability, with two reductions priced in by year-end. The real question is whether this momentum can sustain. If inflation cools further, the Fed has cover to ease and risk assets should continue to outperform. But if inflation stays sticky, the market may

I’m proud to see Singapore leaders like Tan Su Shan and Forrest Li on Fortune’s list. Tan Su Shan’s 28th place is a big milestone, surpassing global heavyweights and showing Singapore’s influence in banking. With Helen Wong also featured last year, it’s clear our banking leaders are gaining global recognition. Jensen Huang’s rise to #1 is well-deserved given Nvidia’s role in powering the AI boom. Still, my top pick will remain Elon Musk. Despite controversies, he continues to disrupt multiple industries from EVs to space, proving his influence goes beyond just one sector. Musk’s boldness and ambition still set him apart from many of his peers. For me, Musk is the most influential leader because of his vision and execution. Lists like this are also useful for investors, as they highlight t

$VXX CALENDAR 250822/250905 PUT 40.0/PUT 40.0$ VXX: Losing trade management.  The expiring short put were in the money on 22nd Aug so decided to roll it further by 2 weeks for the same strike at $40 to buy some time and risk assignment.  VXX had been creeping slightly higher mid week only to sell off strongly on Friday with a 8.38% drop and closed at $35.98. The short calls were profitable while some of these short puts setup need trade adjustment to buy some time and avoid assignment.  Overall at counter level, it's a losing week based on the latest price movement. 

$IQ 20250822 2.5 CALL$ IQ: collected premiums in full for these covered calls when they expired worthless on 22nd Aug.  IQ broke out from its long term bear momentum and finally broke above its 200 days MA on 18th Aug.  The last time it did, was back in May 2024 which was a good 15 months ago.  IQ closed at $2.46 just few cents shy of my strike of $2.5 so they expire worthless.  still have another set of covered call also with same strike at $2.5 expiring on 19th Sept.

$RCL 20250822 290.0 PUT$ RCL: collected full premium on this short put when it expired worthless on 22nd Aug. Had wanted RCL to drop more and use these short put to cover my stock short positions.  But RCL moved up strongly for the week by a large 9.78% to close at $344.67. 2 of my commited short put were closed out this week and that freed up 200 shares uncommitted.  RCL is my largest portfolio drag this week and I look to cut loss if RCL hit $350 which seems likely on Monday. 

$NVO 20250822 45.0 PUT$ NVO: collected full premium on this short put when it expired worthless on 22nd Aug. NVO is up 8.72% this week and these short puts were save and collecting premiums as intended.  Still a long way to close the gap at $69 but NVO is making good upward progress for the 3rd consecutive week. Probably the temporary bottom is set for this round so my trades were setup on bullish bias.
