The RBA is set to release its February monetary policy decision on February 18. The market now sees a 90% chance of a 25 basis point rate cut, which would bring the cash rate down from 4.35% to 4.10%. If the RBA cuts rates in February, it would mark the first rate cut since the cash rate was raised to 4.35% in November 2023, and the first in over four years, signaling Australia's official entry into a rate-cutting cycle. RBA rate cu...
Woolworths’ scale and strategic investments in digital and supply chain infrastructure position it to weather near-term challenges. However, margin sustainability, regulatory outcomes, and competitive dynamics remain critical watchpoints. While the stock trades at a premium, long-term growth in online retail and market share retention could justify current valuations for risk-tolerant investors. Q1 2025 group sales rose 4.5% to $18 billion, driven by a 3.8% increase in Australian food sale...
Thank you for reading through the brief strategic plan towards February. In this post, I would like to show you my thought process for the next week in absolute details. Let me explain my current situation. My current portfolio is below. I wasn't too happy when I saw my investment performance this month. I am not unsatisfied with it; it just is not a healthy rise. I am a 100% Technical Analysis guy and very objective. I know my actual investment ability, and I...
I am feeling Bullish sentiments everywhere, and maybe in the next several trading days, if I look into the greed index, it will probably go into a greedy state, and that's when selling is smart. Universal Law - Buy when everyone is selling, sell when everyone is buying. I started to increase more cash positions and using them to sell put more. I increased the cash to 15.31%, x3 more than last week. But I had already used most of them as cash collateral when I sold my pu...

Hi bull Very new to trading, opened this account mid last year but never did anything with it until this year. I'm very committed to learning options, I have a lot of free time in my afternoons and i stumbled upon options trading when looking for a side hustle. I've delved fairly deep into learning the risks, theory and different sorts of option trades you can apply depending on where the market is/single stocks vs ETFs etc, so I understand the basics of how it works. Although I am in Australia it makes the timing a bit more difficult for market open but I get up early and have a few hours each morning of market open left to do trades, if I need to be there at midnight for the start of the market I'm willing to do that also. I have roughly $1000 USD in cash to start, if I need to add a bit more I can I buy thought I might be able to start something with this maybe. The few groups I've looked at for advice have all told me don't trade options just put it into a ETF, would you also recommend this? I feel an opinion from someone like yourself who clearly knows what they are doing has more weight behind what they say then people I'm not sure about. As I said before I'm not just jumping in head first, I've watched hours and hours of videos on strategies and how to lower risk and what can happen if you get in over your head, I'm taking it step by step. I'm very very new so they may be right I'm not sure, I just feel a bit deflated and confused after seeing people saying I'm out of my mind, but I feel like i have the patience to do this, but then being told that without at least a few thousand dollars there's no way which I can also understand if that's true. Sorry for the long message, I'm just trying to get some real feedback about my choices as I feel very passionate about wanting to do this for myself. On the off chance that there may be something in the options world I can start in id love to hear your opinion, anything you recommend I'll take on board good or bad. Sorry for the longggg message, just wanting to know where I should be going at this point.

Given that you have studied options and know their basics and risks, I see no reason not to trade them. If you want to mitigate the risk, focus on selling options rather than buying options, which I think you already know. Ignore people who told you not to do options. They either do not want you to know how good it is or their ability to analyse the direction of the underlying stock is lacking. even if you know the basics of the options, and different strategies, if you cannot correctly evaluate the stock valuations, it will not work… First 30min-1h of market opening will kindof determine the intra-day move (unless reporting) maybe you can stay up late.

Only critical mistake I have done this year is if I do the same option of weighing to TQQQ than SOXL, then I would have made much more. However, I like chip sector rather than Nasdaq. Like you said. S&P 500 option would be safer.

So I couldn’t really find leveraged snp 500 with options with volume, tbh I have made some money from SPY, if you want x4 leveraged but without option then you can do SPYU

i play options primarily on snp500 due to its predictability. SOXL is v good for wheeling due to its cheap cost and high IV. i thinking of using tqqq to hedge if there is no better option
