Moo Top Review 2021: Noob journey in Investment and Trading

I started my investment journey in Aug 2021. Been there in both Moomoo and Tiger promotions. Moomoo's app GUI and typesetting won me over with the ease of use. The multitude of functions such as Options Trading, Level 2 quotes and Stock Analysis aided me tremendously in my trading journey. Allow me to recap my five months of learning journey:

****************************************
Chapter 1: Noob Start in Local and My 1st Option Trade  - Aug 2021

"Could be better" Trade: FOMO into dividend bank stock $OCBC Bank(O39.SG)$ and been bag-holding till now. Did not know that after ex-dividend, the stock will usually tank equivalent to dividend amount.

In the same month, I learnt about Options Trading. I made my 1st CSP on $Coinbase(COIN.US)$, and closing early to make a tidy profit. I also learnt that I do not need to maintain full securities to cover CSP as Moomoo allows Margin account to cover the principal.

******************************************
Chapter 2: Options and it's danger - Sep to Oct 2021

I intensified on Options trading specifically on selling puts to generate income. Although CSP provides premium as income stream, there is a risk of unlimited downside if the underlying stock price goes down quickly. This happened to me when $Adobe(ADBE.US)$ tanked from 600+ to 500+.

Good Trade: $BioNTech(BNTX.US)$ Took the scalp trade on 3 green 🕯. Exited quickly after 3 mins trade

Chapter 4: Leaps into the future - Dec 2021

The last month of 2021 saw extreme volatilities in equity market. My long-term portfolio shrank by 15%. I added another option strategy: LEAPS into my investment plan. LEAPS entails buying long option calls deep into future (1 year or more). I added two stocks that I feel that will rise by Jan 2023: $Palantir(PLTR.US)$ $SoFi Technologies(SOFI.US)$
