Be safe and watch for good entries if you are trading options! What helped me personally is to not FOMO and chase after a stock, be disciplined with your strategy and be patient! Rewards will come then. Good luck everyone

Limit capital lost by buying diagonal call spread on good company. Identity possible resistance and support.  Buy a long term call more than 365 days, together with a short term sell call (30days) at resistance. Close both positions when over sell call strike price. Repeat sell call when it expires.

Buy long dated option

Protect capital. Buy performing company 

Remember: also the biggest Pyramid wast built from one stone, one, two, three... Structural growth, step by step. No Anxiety, no leverage.  Personally, I looking for high volatility to ride it with verticals or cash secured Put. Step by step I scaale the balance. I choose only actions without loss, or etf with volume. In first time I was selecting contracts with 7 days expiration, but now I changed, prefer 30dte or 44dte approach. 

Always protect capital, not over leverage to option market. 

🌟🌟🌟Investing can be an art and a science for small retail investors like me.  The Art : This is where intuition, storytelling and emotion come in.  We fall in love with business models, admire founders who defy odds and sometimes buy a stock because it feels like us - plucky, visionary and quietly powerful.  We hold through storms not because of charts but because of our conviction. The Science : This is the discipline.  The compounding maths.  The quarterly earnings.  The asset allocation.  The rebalancing.  The boring bits that quietly build wealth while we sleep.  It is the part that says "Don't chase.  Don't panic.  Don't YOLO into meme stocks because your best friend says it is the next Tesla." The Magic :  When art and scien

For most retail investors managing under US $100,000, the priority should be capital preservation and consistent compounding, not trying to outsmart hedge funds or algorithmic traders. The key lies in adopting disciplined, rule-based mindsets rather than chasing market timing. --- 1. What Retail Investors Should Focus On a. Build a Sound Foundation Diversify prudently: Hold a mix of equities, ETFs, and perhaps a small bond or cash component to smooth volatility. Use dollar-cost averaging: Investing a fixed amount monthly helps reduce timing risk and lowers the average cost per share. Focus on low-cost instruments: Minimise fees through ETFs or index funds — small cost savings compound significantly. b. Prioritise Risk Management Limit exposure per position: Never risk more than 5–10 % of t

With the growth of low-cost trading platforms like Tiger and fractional shares, there are fewer barriers preventing individual investors with portfolios under $100,000 from investing in the same stocks as Wall Street. However Wall Street still has some advantages: 1. Time + Economy of Scale 2. Objective / Compensation 3. Emotion I'll break these down and then talk about how retail investors can combat this by buying and holding for the long-term. Time / Economy of Scale Picking individual stocks is hard and takes time to do your homework and to continue doing homework for the duration of the time you hold that stock. For Wall Street picking stocks is their full-time occupation, and they have access to major institutional research to inform their decisions.  In addition because each pu

Over ten years, $QQQ has outperformed its own 3× levered cousin by 130 percentage points. That’s the kind of structural trap I’ve seen wreck portfolios on Wall Street time and time again. 🧐 Record Highs, Flat Short Interest The Nasdaq-100 has surged to record highs with $QQQ grinding higher in relentless fashion.

This is a must-read for all new retail investor (like myself) 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Market remains bullish across indexes, with no clear signs of bull traps or bearish reversals as Q3 ends. Valuations are elevated, especially among Mag 7 and S&P 500, nearing historical peaks seen before past downturns. Institutional selling and climax top indicators suggest rising downside risks, but price action still favors further rally into Q4. Continue monitoring for shifts in momentum; maintain bullish bias unless clear downside signals emerge.

I think for retail investors, the safest strategy is still buying low and selling high or even easier would be to buy ETFs and continually average down to hold for the longer term. Of course, if valuation is high, it might be wise to take profit and average down again on dips. In this sense, rules 1,4 and 6 would apply. I agree most with rule 6 because it is important to learn when to sell in the rally and be brave enough to average down during dips. There must always be sufficient cash on hand to buy the dips yet not being too heavily stuck with cash. Thus, selling when the market is strong would free up cash and allow deployment during dips. For me, ETFs are the best for me and not too volatile that I would need to keep my eyes glued to the market. My one stock would be VTI that trac

(1) Do you prefer “holding long-term” or “buying low, selling high”?: I strictly believe in the dictum, "horses 🐎 for courses". Actually there are no stocks to hold forever though I prefer to hold for the long term, conviction picks like  $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ or  $Apple(AAPL)$. I seldom sell orn exit these fully. For the "buy low, selling high" counters, I prefer to stick to counters that are trending to make a quick buck. (2) Which one of the above rules do you agree with the most?: All of them are true in fact and something I usually would eant to follow. But if there is a need to pick some, (1) & (3) are the truest! (3) if you could only hold one U.S. stock long-term, which would it be?: Any day  $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and  $Micron Technology(MU)$.
