So far, the santa rally is a mixed bag with only a few of my stocks going nuts. $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ Is the clear winner here As the first pic shows. Combined with options and stock i have about $4,000 in it and paper gains are round $23,000. The second pic shows that it did drop quite a bit early December, my portfolio was actually down 12k on November highs, but now its up around 3.5k. Thank you santa! I expect the stock will hit $30 per share in the near term with it pushing $40 next year due to alot more positive news. So no way im profit taking. I have two calls left on it at an excise of $5 and $7 and i will excise these very soon to lock in another 200 shares. I need more money to excise these calls though but no hurry they are 2026 and 2027 leaps. Going forward ill be buying more calls in RKLB but ill wait til January hopefully they mite pull back a little.

So if you thought i was nuts saying in april this year its about to moon, buy it now at $4... and now you are kicking yourself... well id suggest its not too late. I will be buying leap calls for up to $32, premium and excise price combined. Sure its rocket science and highly volatile, but its a money printer long term if you have a 5+ year timeframe.

Next stock is $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ as the third pic shows, it did the same as rklb early December and is pumping now. Im up about $5,000. I have alot of nicely in the money calls on sofi. Only have 300 shares in sofi, I expect it to hit $18 in the next few weeks, and when it does i will excise 2 $12 calls and sell all the others to fund the purchase of the sofi and rocket lab calls, plus up my position in a few other stocks i either already own, or have been researching for a while.

This is my strategy, i look for reasonably cheap but seriously attractive growth stocks. I buy call options in them and fund the purchase of the stock with profit from selling some of the calls. These are stocks i want. Its not speculation, its understanding the future potential of the company and using the houses money to buy them. 

I started on tiger trade in April this year, been with other brokers for decades. But i absolutely love tiger. I started with NZ$10,000 and at close today my portfolio is above NZ$54,000, thats over 1,000% returns oh and i took out NZ$1,000 last week so i could buy a few Christmas treats, so now my money invested is $9,000.

But my dream is to buy an RV with a starlink, so i can cruise New Zealand, i need $100k to buy a nice one, so my portfolio needs to be worth $150k. That way i have $50k left to build it back up again. And my bills will be less than half what they are now. I already have narrowed down what campers i want, and the pics are on my fridge.

In the meantime im looking to buy a fishing kayak in January, I mean why not! The santa rally is nice, but as an investor you need goals, very specific goals. And then you need a clear plan to achieve them. The only problem i have is... and this mite sound crazy, but its my cat. I love my tabby, but a cat in a camper? Anybody want a 12yo neurotic pussy cat?

Happy holidays tigers ;)
