(Intelligent Investor Chapter Breakdown) Chapter 1: Investments vs Speculation Investors vs Speculators. Investors use analysis and collect information to make an educated decision on buying a financial instrument that will return its principal value and a decent profit. Speculators make financial decisions based on emotional conviction. For the longest time in history investing was associated with speculative trading of common stock, due to the fact that the majority of the public were unfamiliar with common stock and companies. Common stocks were deemed risky due to historical crashes, even though analysis at the time showed that stocks were deeply undervalued. Institutional investors must adequately educate the public on the difference between investing and speculation or they risk bein

TL;DR If you want to invest in ASML, but you are cautious about the entry price, my advice is to set a price alert on your brokerage app. I'm setting one right now at a 10% price drop, and when that alert hits I might open a small position, I’m also setting another alert at a 20% price drop and if that alert hits I will open a larger position. Quick analysis of ASML ASML is a company that specializes in the manufacturing of photolithography machines, Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) systems critical for producing our modern semiconductor chips. The company holds a near-monopoly on EUV technology and is the main provider for the chip manufacturers like $Intel(INTC)$ $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing
$STLA 20250919 14.0 CALL$ MISTAKES WERE MADE. Evtnhough my plan was to sell calls on this stock to profit off sideways movement. It was a good plan but again I forgot to time correctly. Selling options is bad when then the implied volatility rises and I didn't take into account the upcoming earnings report for $Stellantis NV(STLA)$ . I sold a call around 13.20 which in the past, stellantis was bouncing between 13.30 and 12.50. But with earnings come up, Mr Market has decided he wants to bet big on Stellantis, and with such a low PE, who could blame him? While I always believed in the long term profitability of this stock, I assumed the short term would continue to g

Stellantis all in with ny small US port. Give me time to stop worrying about where to put my US cash and focus on other things.
$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ TL;DR : Berkshire overvalued but good defensive investment (energy &insurance), Future leader Greg Abel capable, buy and hold for more than 10 years to huat. One of the most well-known conglomerates in the world, led by Warren Buffett, it has a solid track record, a diversified portfolio, even managing to beat the S&P 500 returns which most hedge funds fail to even come close to. It is an actively managed fund that behaves more like a passively traded fund, with no management fees. For example, from 1965 to 2023, the company's stock has compounded at an average annual rate of about 20%, significantly higher than the S&P 500 historical return of around 9-10%. Berkshire Hathaway is also well diversifie
$Stellantis NV(STLA)$ The downward move finally came. This was after Stellantis announced that they were cutting their projections by quire a margin. It has reduced its operating income margins to 5.5% down from 7%, when previously it had projected double digit range. The company is expecting North America, its largest sector to experience a lot less in sales. Its cutting their projections. Stellantis is definitely tightening its belt in expectation of the gloomy outlook on the auto industry for the coming year. They are offering incentives and cutting their expectations. They had a more aggressive growth so it is understandable that they will receive a harsher slump than other companies like

$Stellantis NV(STLA)$ My investment strategy is value investing. And ny research showed this company has decent vakue and its stock is severely undervalued. It was sold off due to fear but it can make its steady comeback now that rate cuts have come. Don't plan on taking profit until it goes up a lot more and if it falls I'll just add more.
$TIGR 20250124 7.0 CALL$ Sold a 0dte call on Tiger stock yesterday, whe selling options can rely on a premium strategy, I decided to try trading and rolling same day. Since my TA skills are still quite low. I simply relied on RSI and MACD to time my trades. I sold the call around the second peak of the day, then waited until it fell again to buy back the call and close my trades, taking profit. Now the amount is really small to play with, eventhough my P/L is decent the realised profit is small with a cheap 0dte option. I plan to use these baby steps to slowly build confidence until I have the net assets to start playing more expensive options. @Optionspuppy
$Stellantis NV(STLA)$ My entry price was 15.05, stellantis bought back shares at 13.6 euro after the stock crashed. This tells me that they think 13.6 is a good undervalued price for their company. A company buying back its shares tells us 2 things. 1. They have confidence in their future plans so they want to own more so they can benefit more from their success. 2. The believe this price is below their own valuation for their company so they stand to make a profit either from growth or dividends. While stellantis pays dividends it doesn't have a long history of consistency so it's safe to assume they plan to make their profit from growth.

Hedging with money market fund. Making bets for and against the market. Tech and information sectors have been booming unchecked thanks the AI rally so perhaps if there is a shift it will be a shift against it so perhaps SQQQ or some tech short might make sense. however if you want to bet bullish there is one sector that has been unaffected by the rally and that's REITs if we believe the ratevcuts are inevitable, the depressed reit sector will make a comeback
$STLA 20250919 14.0 CALL$ I made a post a while ago about Stellantis and why I was investing the company. I still believe in the long term outlook, but my short term view of the stock was miscalculated and I bought too early. However thanks to @Optionspuppy 's guidance, I've adopted a new strategy of selling options on stock I own, by either profiting off the sideways movement of the stock or locking in and capping my profit on a stock but also hedging against a downside. My average price is 14.98 on stellantis, with a paper loss ranging around 200 to 300. Previously I sold a call at 15.0 and after a week rolled for a 9 dollar profit. But instead of getting a s
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$
Tesla stock has a lot of support from retail investors however Musk's political views and the EV market cooling could put a target on this stock. Whatever investment in this stock has to be seen as long term because short term future looks bleak.
$STLA 20250919 14.0 CALL$ Phew temporary turnaround. Hoping to roll soon

$Stellantis NV(STLA)$ Momentary unrealized profits but still nice to see my investment doing well. If you research a company and your confident, weather the storm and the spring. If this stock falls ill still be averaging into it.
