      $RKLB 20260116 2.0 CALL$ Ok so this was the very first options trade I wrote, over a month ago. As you can see I went long, jan 2026, and paid $2.50 for a $2 Right to buy. I have a huge amount of confidence in rocket lab going forward and my intention for this call is to hold it and excise it. Well that was my original intention. But woot, it's now officially in the money today. I'm clearly a bunny when it comes to options. And loving the comments I get from you guys that help me to expand my knowledge. I'm thinking and have actually since this first option trade... looked to cheaper and shorter term trades, but I'm pleased to see the first one, and actually all of my calls so far being in positive territory now. But this trade

      Yes I'll be looking to buy more, but not the stock more likely calls. The other item that has come to my attention is that nvidias new AI chips are apparently very very greedy on power, so maybe another long term play is power stocks. Look at where data centres are concentrated and buy into power companies that support those areas. This is going to take some research but I think it's worth it. @Tiger_chat @TigerPM @Daily_Discussion @TigerPicks

      So, i believe the biggest issue fundamental investors have is the information they rely on. Often, more often than you think, it's actually wrong, or sometimes it's just calculated in a way you didn't realise. I will use two cases to illustrate, from one investor class... the dividend investor. I look at data every day, and dividend investors are looking for consistent and growing company dividend over time. Personally I want a dividend stock to be doing both. At least once a week, information about the stock I invest in is actually wrong. #arcc last week for eg on one site told me it paid a dividend of only 3 cents per share during 2 quarters of last year, totally wrong. Checking other sources quickly confirmed it to be totally wrong. Moral of the story... don't trust one source of data,

      $Venture Global, Inc.(VG)$ Ok I'm sharing this post with my tiger friends because I have a couple of very important ideas to disclose. I brought into VG at around $15, and soon after due to law suits it plummeted to around half that. Now whenever I pull the trigger on a new stock, I write a 1 to 2 page memo to self on why I'm buying it, I tend to start with small amounts initially and add over time. i was adding as it dropped when it got really low, I tripped down. Why? Well I had underestimated the impacts of potential law suits. But I also believe it's crazy cheap even if they loose the law suits. Incidentally, last week I sold half my position to bank the profits I have made On its recovery.  Still own 3x more than I started with. but t

      Ok wait, are you talking paper silver? Or actual silver. Paper silver is going to zero bro. It's worthless. Why? It's a bit of paper. Wake up and smell the coffee. Real silver, like the bars are still worth $120 an ounce. Personally I'll make a fortune once people wake up... if they wake up. I'm just buying $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$  because It's a company that mines silver and gold.  The sheep of wall street keep getting hurded. The shepherds are corrupt to the core. I will just do my thing regardless.  Happy trading my fellow tigers

      Interestingly, tiger actually sent us all an email a few weeks ago warning us about pump and dump scams. Their is no market crash what so ever in my humble opinion. But there is definitely a lot of pumping and dumping.  My strategy going forward is simple. Hold stocks you know and trust. Don't trust the daily bs. Trust you own research. If those stocks get pumped, maybe trim. If they get dumped, perhaps buy more. and 2026 is not a good year to invest in anything that has an expiration date. I will not buy calls, I will not sell puts, I'll just hold the stock.  @MillionaireTiger  @TigerTrade  @Tiger_SG

      So last year was extremely volatile. this year is shaping up to be even more volatile. There appears to be no stocks that offer a safe haven. The set up, if we just look at what JP Morgan did last Friday with paper silver… create fake news, first it’s silver is cheap at $120, the next day it’s reverse fake news, new fed chair will crash the silver market. No. JP Morgan caused it. They shorted silver, comex significantly increased the margin requirements and the crash was inevitable. Smaller traders got called, price came down forcing larger traders to be called, price then came down further forcing stop losses to kick in and also algorithm trades. This killed paper silver. An J.P. Morgan with all their inside information made billions swooping in at exactly the right moment. So my strate

      Ok let's cut to the chase. Gold and silver are still at record highs. FACT! The cat isn't dead so there is no bouncy pussy cat. Holding actually gold or silver in you sock draw is fine. Holding stocks in mining companies, is a better strategy for me though. Because I get dividend income. Or I bank resources in the ground still. It's better than a bank vault.  It's so obvious what is happening, why doesn't Everyone understand? The drop in silver And gold is very simple. Its actually not a drop at all. It's a manipulation of a bit of meaningless paper. WAKE UP. If you buy a futures contract for silver for example, you need to sell it before it expires, because if you excise the paper, you are not getting silver. It's a bit of meaningless paper.  The banks know it. And they just rip

      Today, pre market at present, I'm watching $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$ very closely. I opened a very small position last week at record highs. Was that stupid? Was it FOMO? I mean in retrospect if I'd just waited a few days I'd now get it for $10 less per share. But an important rule of emotional investing... would've, could've, should've is a mugs game. You cannot time the market. Yet everyone tries to, and very occasionally they get it right, but normally they don't. So to combat all this. I deploy a strategy that minimises the issue. Every week when I get paid, $50 goes into my trading account. And most weeks I deploy that into a stock in my portfolio thats is the Best Buy. This week it will likely be pan American.&n

      $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Here is the problem ladies and gentleman. It's called instant gratification. As the emotional investor, this creates opportunities. Pltr is crazy expensive on all traditional metrics. And yet, is it? let's start with how you determine the value of a stock.  Back in the 1940s Ben graham And David Dodd nailed it. You buy a stock when it's worth half its break up value. Simple but on point. the mentors of Warren buffet btw. But Mr buffet introduced a new concept. Value is not just tangible assets, it's about moats and brands. Less tangible assets, but assets all the same.  But now there is a new asset. We are no longer in the 1940s or the 1980s. Last time I checked it's 2026. I am rooted in the concepts of

      So I've spent a good six months now learning as much as I can about the mining and oil and gas sectors. These are clearly counter cyclical stocks. Brought into $Santana Minerals Ltd(SMI.AU)$  about a year ago, and watched it go nuts. About 6 months ago I also brought into $SILVER MINES LTD(SVL.AU)$  and it's done nicely too, even after the crashes the last few days. I am a bull on mining and oil and gas going forward. So much so that I have divested most of my dividend stocks to go counter cyclical. Was I crazy buying into $BHP GROUP LTD(BHP.AU)$   and $Pan American Silver(PAAS)$
