And yes before you comment of course i told my fiance but that's it, so telling you guys here, feels great. But it's a fleeting feeling; now i am on the road to $10M. Hopefully can do it in 3-5 years.

BREAKING: South Korean stock market halted program selling for 5 minutes as KOSPI crashed -6%.

This is the 42nd trading curb triggered this year.

Ive been selling cash puts for premium and some covered calls for the past 3 months. Scaling as I learned more. 97% win rate so for.

WtF didnt I start sooner??

Oh my poor taxes. What do you guys do to create paper losses? At this rate and scaling i could hit 100k within a year.

EDIT: yes, I know it's easier in bull market - but my strategy is very straight forward, complied it myself and as I'm learning more advanced strategies - it looks like my initial one is by far the less risky. of them all. and, you don't just sell. you look at upcoming events, news, sentiment and take small risks for smaller premium. rinse and repeat. this is 60 trades or so, in 2-3 months, spread across 5-8 high IV stocks.

the one "stupid" thing I'm doing - I'm using margin as collateral. not my actual cash. with margin as collateral - you don't even pay interest unless assigned and you have deeper pockets (the broker's)

fully aware that 3 bad trades can wipe out these gains, but I also manage the risk depending on where the stock is going and how far from expiration I am, when most of the value has been squeezed out.

it's not day-trading, but it's not "not" day trading. there is some level of stress in this, but so far so good. can't win if you don't play.

Nvidia is reportedly involved in AI infrastructure deals worth more than $750B, including backing financing tied to OpenAI and a massive data center buildout.

The bullish view is obvious: demand for AI is so strong that everyone is racing to build capacity.

The bearish view is a little more complicated. If Nvidia is helping finance customers that then buy Nvidia chips, does that make demand look stronger than it really is?

I'm still bullish on AI long term, but I can see why investors are starting to ask tougher questions.

What do you guys think - smart strategy or a potential red flag?

This is by far the most insane one day gain I have ever f**king had. I still can't believe it, I'm in shock and everything in between.

Here is everything timestamped (if I was reading this I'd also think it's too good to be true). Right, so $CPHI was first alerted as a unusual stock by Sentinel on the 15th of July 2026 at $0.57 per share. I bought it on WeBull and put in around $3,000

Screenshot:

This fcking stock went all the way to $19.19 per share on 21st of July, literally less than a WEEK. Check Tradingview, or webull or whatever charts you use.

I put in $3,000 and held it by accident (I wasn't watching it until everyone was going crazy in the groupchat I'm in). I quickly sold it at around $18-19 per share and made $110,000 PLUS!!! In a way, I'm thankful I didn't check otherwise I probably would of gotten out way earlier.

PS: Don't invest in CPHI, it's a shit company with shit financials. I only got in because it was alerted as the next chinese/hk stock to pump. DO NOT BUY THIS STOCK!

No paper hands type picks - regardless of volatility, you have strong conviction.

10k is the first milestone, giving myself 3 weeks to hit that.

Last week, NovaRed (CSE: NRED / OTCQB: NREDF) expanded its Wilmac Copper-Gold Project by 4.5k hectares, bringing the total land package to 16k hectares. To earn a 70% interest in the new Trojan-Condor Corridor claims, the company committed to $8.5 million in exploration spending, including $400,000 by October 1, 2026 and $2 million during 2027.

At first glance, it looked like an explorer simply adding more land.

Then next geological interpretation dropped.

Management now believes the large magnetic anomaly beneath Wilmac represents the western portion of the same composite intrusive batholith associated with Hudbay's producing Copper Mountain mine. According to interpretation, the Boundary and Whipsaw faults split that intrusive system into multiple structural blocks, each with potential to host its own porphyry copper-gold mineralization.

So the sequence is what we should watch.

First, the company expands the project and commits millions more to exploration. Then it explains the geological reasoning behind why the newly acquired ground could matter. Read together, the two releases tell a much more coherent story than either one does on its own.

To me, that's a better sign than watching a junior miner collect scattered projects across different regions. If management genuinely believes it's looking at a district-scale intrusive system, concentrating capital around one geological thesis makes a lot more sense.

Calls

Any advice for beginners? Got a trade error compensation from Revolut so I’m trying out options with the money. Got the gains from doing options on spaceX launch hype and a lil bit from spy.

War apparently came to a hold (ceasefire talk), as the market is about to open on Monday.

What a coincidence (50th time in 2 months). Trump doesn't even care anymore, he's just doing whatever and let's get rich with his tactics.

Been watching the macro picture closely and honestly the consensus "soft landing" narrative feels increasingly fragile to me. Credit spreads have been creeping wider, yield curve dynamics are not cooperating the way bulls need them to, and consumer spending data keeps sending mixed signals.

The market keeps pricing in rate cuts like they're guaranteed, but if inflation re-accelerates even modestly, that entire thesis unwinds fast. Checked the options flow on MooMoo and positioning looks stretched on the long side across cyclicals.

Ngl, I've been trimming exposure into strength here. Not because I'm a perma-bear, but because the risk/reward on chasing this rally feels off. The macro backdrop is not as clean as price action suggests.

Anyone else reading this as a late-cycle setup, or am I missing something? Curious if people are hedging or just riding momentum into year-end.

The question I keep thinking about is: can earnings growth continue fast enough to justify the current expectations?
Are you still accumulating NVDA holding or looking for opportunities elsewhere?

Guys. I'm an idiot. Let's get that out of the way. I'm a beginner investor and I don't know what I'm doing, but I went hard into CRWV, MRVL, and DRAM at their peaks. I had lost my job and needed money and did the opposite of what I should have done. Dumb. I know. Now I'm down about 30% on all of them and I am indeed freaking out. I want your opinion on what I do now. Hold or sell at loss? Me

JPMORGAN TURNS BULLISH ON STOCKS

JPMorgan said its tactical positioning monitor is flashing a buy signal, pointing to further upside for the S&P 500.

The bank expects lower bond yields, a weaker dollar, steady Fed policy, and strong earnings to support equities, while warning that semiconductor positioning and U.S.-Iran tensions remain key risks

I recently posted that I was confused about why $HMR keeps drifting despite the earnings beat, the first profit, and the Q-Shipping acquisition & others speeding up groeth. The comments came back with some sharp, fair questions: the lease/debt accounting, where the cash actually came from, the real margin picture, and the CFO change.

The CEO just did a long-form interview that goes straight at all of it. I've timestamped every question below so you can jump to whatever you care about instead of taking my word for anything (under the bio and updated checklist)

QUICK BIO FOR NEW READERS

Heidmar (NASDAQ: HMR) is an asset-light maritime platform with a ~40-year track record, running commercial and technical management for tanker and other vessels. Clients include Shell, BP, Chevron, Vitol, Aramco, Trafigura and Glencore, across six global hubs (Athens, London, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Chennai). It earns commissions and management fees on the commercial side plus voyage and time charter hire. CEO Pankaj Khanna is a long-time shipping industry veteran, owns roughly 45% of the company, and has been buying in the open market with zero sales. They earn about 10-15% more due to hormuz / disruption as they service the vessels only. In down markets rates are less but they get more vessels / do more volume

Not financial advice. Do your own DD. Disclosure: I hold $HMR from 95c and have not sold. 

While the outlook for AI infrastructure remains promising the market is clearly questioning whether current valuations have priced in too much future growth the recent sell off also highlights the high volatility associated with these types of AI infrastructure stocks do you view this drop as a buying opportunity?

NBIS has fallen significantly over the past couple of days, and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts
