Woohoo it is a US bear market, China stock was already a crazy bear market, now it is double bear

so what do long term bulls on stocks do? buy more

look at Buffett he is finally spending billions to buy more shares now in this bear market.
Just nice today the 72% gain from
$SPH (T39.SG)$ got cashed into my account (thank you covid crash) so got more capital to deploy again in stocks that crash

will I see crazy gain soon? No, I will probably only see red for 2022 and maybe even 2023. But I have faith in value investing and that the stocks will eventually go back to their fair prices.
But from experience, the dip can dip lower and lower and lower. Since no one can time the market and buy at the bottom, I'm just going to start my buying spree slowly, because I don't know how long will the dip keep dipping hahahahaha.
But to maximise my gains, I'm selling short term PUT options instead of buying the shares outright. All the options is a cash secured PUT, which means I top up enough cash in MooMoo to buy the shares if I'm forced to buy. In this market better not use any margin or leverage, don't want to get margin called when the market crash even more

Why PUT options? cause premiums
![]()
since I'm going to buy at my entry price and hold anyway, so might as well sell a PUT option at the entry price and collect the premiums for free. Why say no to free money right?
Why short term? because I really want to buy the shares, so with short term options in a bear market, the chances of the stock crashing hard in this market environment is more likely.
So yea, started with
$NIO Inc (NIO.US)$ today, if on June 10, NIO is below $10, I will be forced to buy their shares at $10. If not, nothing happens. Still keeping the premium of $60 regardless though.

Macdonell J : In order to have the support of covered call with underlining stocks and cash secure put options with cash on hand as collateral, you wld have to call Futu customer service to help activate it for your account.
doctorpot1 OP Macdonell J : covered call works well. the margin calculation is correct but for cash secured put it doesn't add up. I did ask the futu CS before but they say it is how they calculate it hahahaha. and they don't support poor man's covered call too, so have to have enough cash as collateral for that
