Short week of trading

 Stoks

  • Closed at 175.05 after hours from last week of 170.80
  • Share price went to highs of 184.25 as EM decided to give 1 month of FSD trial to new buyers.
  • Markets liked the news but wasn't strong enough to hold the 180 resistance.
  • Deliveries will come out over the weekend but nothing much to expect given last few Qs.
  • Main thing is to look at earnings in 3 weeks time, if there are big green days, can try some puts.
  • Took some losses on NVDA options and went fully on QQQ puts.
  • DXY was favorable as well so changed some USD back to SGD to lock in 1.3468.
  • Effectively changing from 1.341 to 1.334 to 1.3468, getting some HK itchy finger losses back.
  • SG banks almost had a fantastic week with DBS almost reaching back ath but closed at 36.03.
  • Looked like some profit taking happened on the last day of the short week.
  • Will dca bank once ex dividend next Thur, hope to see some more discounts prior to then.
  • So far earning some peanuts on my 100 shares of QQQ, 85.88 for this week not too bad.

Fed still wants to cut

 Stoks

  • Closed at 170.80 after hours from last week of 164.01, not bad considering that they announced production cuts due to demand.
  • Managed to recover by end of the day for the lucky bulls.
  • Fed didn't cut as expected in the latest meeting but still on track to at least 2 cuts from projected 6.
  • First cut to supposedly happen on June but is there really a point to cut now given the optimism in the markets?
  • NVDA had a conference on Mon and stock fell to 850 but still managed to close at almost $100 higher for the week.
  • Sold HESAY and basically left w 100 shares of  QQQ to wheel, current 78% in cash to wheel while earning in MMFs.
  • USD is on a uptrend, which is surprising considering the fact that it is moving up w stocks.
  • Decent week in premiums but compared to just leaving portfolio as it was few weeks ago, def higher, oh well
  • Seeing prices getting higher and higher, went for longer exp CSP instead of dailys.
  • Aiming for at least a 5K in monthly premiums for a 630K USD base, which comes out to 9% pa ish if MMF rates stay constant. 
  • Will let banks run on their own, unless PB falls to desired levels. 
  • Fomo-ed in to crypto, used IR for now, probably transferring to Trust every 1K.

Sibei buay kan fren

 Stokss

  • Closed at 164.01 after hours from last week of 174.98.
  • Looks like sentiment is very bearish and together with a timely downgrade by Wells Fargo.
  • But share price is very strong at 160 support based on chart which bounced off perfectly.
  • Probably should see some upward trend next week till Wed where rates will be decided to cut or not.
  • Did some bloody stupid moves, sold entire equity position only to see bounce back till Thur.
  • Bought back HESAY and decided to be QQQ options seller/bagholder, well done.
  • Sold 2% discount CSPs on Fris which will be the plan from now till otherwise.
  • Target is to get around 1K per week in premiums so will take assignment if necessary.
  • 2 more weeks to DBS ex div where if prices are right, buy more.
  • Itchy finger went to touch HK only to buy at top, took 1.4K L for nothing, ccb.

Life
  • What was I thinking to be able to receive payment from BK fren?
  • Now that I think of it, bonus was supposed to be in on end of Feb but was delayed according to him, which meant he already fk up then.
  • Instead of coming clean about the delay, die die want to inform only when asked and had the bloody cheek to ask for loan.
  • Must be crazy to think I will lend him the amount.
  • Instead of repaying on 15/3, now have to extend to 31/12 and repaid monthly. WTF man.
  • How can all 3 debtees have the same kind of thinking? Really hate to use words on them but seriously they should reflect on themselves.
  • Although this is interest repayment and not capital, basic financial responsibility should be uphold.
  • Proves that empty vessels make the loudest noises. "So Sorry Bro"
  • Very disappointed in his behaviour as a fellow finance bro...pkl

Game over for Semi?

Stoks

  • Closed at 174.98 after hours from last week of 202.27.
  • Looks like very hard for share price to hold 200, had some news prior to the start of the week.
  • Elon wanting to sue Openai and G.berlin being a target of arson.
  • NVDA went on a monster spree, reaching 974 before closing at 850s without any signs of bad news.
  • Seems like this kind of pullbacks have to occur before going even higher.
  • Traded SMH and NVDA only to take a loss from AMD CSPs.
  • Markets actually went down on Wed but fully recovered by Fri and reaching all time highs before rugpull to close.
  • GOOG managed to recover to 136s although my strike wasn't hit, still have puts from 128 to 125 in the following weeks.
  • Sold 1x 210 AMD to earn $58 which i shouldn't have done tbh, not worth the risk.
  • Didn't managed to avoid assignment so now holding 100 shares at 209.42 basis
  • Bought 1k worth of MSTR cause comparing to BTC movement, they will outperform due to leverage.
  • TBH abit late to the party but with some leverage, may be able to get back some gains lol.
  • COST missed earnings and crashed almost 8%, will look to buy if it hits u700 or could sell some puts.
  • Still left w 115K to sell puts on till APR or USD goes back up.
  • CPI next week, probably will go up again looking at how markets feel right now so buying opportunities.
  • USD dropped big in the past week as well.

  • Bad nights due to sleep cycle, having been constantly sleeping past 3.
  • Tried to reset by staying awake overnight but couldn't make it.
  • Bloody scalp pimples, need to rinse longer from now on.
  • Will be receiving last of 10K on following week, that marks the end of the loan cycle.
  • Turns out my slippers were 1 size smaller after receiving 2nd pair, tmd but oh well.
  • First premium to be paid next Tues, last payment for 2 policies since 2020...pkl

Btc 64, NVDA 822

 Stoks

  • Closed at 202.27 after hours from last week of 191.56
  • Finally broke the 200 barrier but compared to mag 5 except GOOG which fell 5% since last Fri, still major underperformance.
  • GOOG opened lowered on Mon due to the racist Gemini saga and didn't manage to recover despite indexes reaching ath again.
  • Sold off entire stake at 141.97, sold 28days CSP from 130 to 132 which seems fair if it hits.
  • Sold COST and replaced with a 690 put as well, giving a $60 discount from current prices.
  • DCA more into SPY and Hermes while selling some puts on PLTR at 21-21.5, AMD at 160-162.5 and TSLA at 175.
  • BTC broke through the 60k resistance and went to highs of 64K before closing the week at 62 but looking at meme coins moving up, 2021 is back.
  • Best to be a little careful from now, better to buy at discount prices then fomo at highs.
  • Current holdings should be able to benefit from future run ups as well.
  • Still left with 47% of cash unless assigned from CSP, looking at YTD performance of 3%, better off buying SPY than stock pick lol.
  • Seems like drag comes from SGX and COH but oh well.
  • NVDA went over the 2T market cap yesterday, closed above 800 for the first time and is 3rd largest in MC behind MSFT n AAPL.
  • Probably will sell some SMH puts soon.
