Seeing my annual return vs. the S&P 500 over the last year is depressing. But I don't have the stomach to always wonder what my money is doing and have to accept that. Even when I'm certain a company or index will thrive long-term, the daily swings weigh on my mind. So, I sit idle, earning a guaranteed 4.25% and jump on short term price movement when I can. This November was actually my best month, up ~3%.

All in all I played around with about 1200 Euros and made a profit of about 100 Euros within less then a month.
Annualized that's ~100% return, which to be honest, would be impossible to keep up over a longer time frame to actually earn an amount of money with that changes anything. Buffet beats the SP500 by 2-3% and he's one of the best.
It did cost me a lot of time looking shit up and more time watching my watchlist tick up and down.
But maybe I learned a little more, about markets and myself, which is always a good thing.
My recent watchlist was just some crypto miners, experimental aerospace and a few quantums as well, as those had volatility as of now, maybe 20 positions. Now it's just RKLB and Wallgreens.

Was torn on quantums, the stocks did move nicely, but in the end they're just small fries against the R&D departments of Google and them big bois.

>>21010>What are your trades?This week I moved in and out of SMCI, SNTI, and RKLB. Last week: SNOW, NVDA, LLY and MSTR. Nvidia was my only loser. It was making a run in the final hour of trading before their earnings were released. I expected it to continue, but when it switched directions, I cut it fast. Good call, as their earnings disappointed. Senti Biosciences was my best move. They had two pieces of good news on Monday: A medical study produced positive results, and they secured additional financing. I sold out of that one too early and missed major gains.

I hope you could do some flipping on that one, but last I heard they probed themselves and deemed everything a okay while still booting their chief account and CFO.
Nothing to hold for too long I guess.
NVidia also seems to have lost a lot of steam recently, but they rose incredibly over all of that AI craze already. Not that easy to move a stock with that large of a market cap, despite being "cheap" compared to AMD right now.
>Easy enough in a bull run, when we're all geniuses.Yeah, I remember it all too well from last time during covid.
Bet on anything with the highest leverage possible and you could still make money, not that I had the balls to do that back then, just slightly.
Glad to be a little gay bear right now with my Walgreens puts, either they drop on their numbers or the whole market may drop, I don't care.
Gonna miss the high number on my ETF though, when we finally correct a little.
I do note a lot of premarket action on Walgreens though, which seems to imply that a lot of European buyers rush straight into that value trap, just looking at the dividend yield as per usual... Our ATX also offers generous dividends, zero growth on them or valuations, but still enough of an argument to hear it everywhere from our dork retail investors.

On the other hand, AMD could be an interesting, yet longer dating play.
Once the Xilinx acquisition falls off their balance sheet, their PE ratio should rapidly improve, which then could finally let them get on the move again.
But then AMD is a bitch to hodl at times, even if Mommy Su always delivers sooner or later, most often when nobody is looking.
Probably keeping that for a later date, a month before their earnings on Feb 4th or so.

I was in MDB post-earnings but got out on the first dip before the market completely died. They beat expectations and raised guidance but were still punished. My biggest mistake was not shorting this after selling. The direction was clear- straight down- but I hesitated because their earnings were solid. Have to remember stocks move on sentiment, not financials. The loss wiped out my RKLB gains. CADL popped on Wednesday. A medical study produced positive results. It wasn't on my radar, but a pump is a pump. That put my week solidly back in the green.
With the recent UFO hysteria, I'll be watching drone stocks this week.

Sold my PLTR puts today!
One month of holding a highly leveraged position worth 2,5k and I made a grand total of... 2,8k Euros.
Mistakes were made, but things were learned as well.
First thing first, for some reason I believed my puts would run until end of month, but just now I saw that they would actually run due at the end of this week, despite me adding the correct note to that position in my brokerage.
Idiocy number one. Know your tool, fool!
Then the whole ETF inclusion play on a highly overvalued stonk, good in theory, but executed way to early.
I should have waited the whole inclusion week out before buying in, the week afterwards would have been the perfect moment to buy some pootz.
Not quite an idiocy, but inexperience. Valuable lesson though!
Then, once more, don't let yourself get lured by too much of a leverage.
Take the expiration date you aim for and slap a month for safety onto it.
Would have been in the money last week already while still having time for further drops, even if that thing would expire end of month as I wrongfully believed.
That's an idiocy for sure, driven by greed for high multipliers... 25-30x leverage is enough, doesn't need to be 50-60x.
Anyway, glad that I still made my money back and can continue some gambling until I finally hit my 2025 tax credit loss.
But damn, those measly 300 bucks were exchanged for heart blood and soul sweat.
If I would have bought the same puts right after inclusion week, I surely could have made 10 grand without breaking much sweat, seeing how far they were down at times.
