Well that was a fun couple bars in NVDA, some shenanigans around $140 strike . Would have been nice to get a strong close but semi's lost their steam today as everything else gained.

The counter trend trade right now is not firing.

Also let it be known I move the bond market with my trades

Orange Santa is giving us a beautiful rally to end the year. Cheers.

As we sit here on Christmas Eve, I am going to take a moment to wish everyone and their families a great holiday. I am also going to take a moment to apologize to anyone in this thread I have been a dick to this year. Not the rest of the board, just this thread. I realize that as I post across various threads I have on lots of occasions posted something here in a style that did not fit the spirit of what we are about in this thread. This thread should only be about helping each other make the Benjamins. I am also hyper competitive and I let it bleed out into my posts on occasion. So to all I have offended here this year...

That being said a new investing year is upon us. I am willing to help anyone who asks. We all have different strategies and I have a very specific one. I am generally risk averse, and focus on minimizing any losses by keeping my dollars in ultra high quality stocks. I rarely gamble. I go old school and spend lots of times dissecting financial statements. Its all about consistency for me. I had one red month all year and 11 green months. I used options to add alpha throughout the year.

This is my 3rd year out of 4 beating the S&P and that is my only goal. If I can't beat the S&P then I should just put all my money into SPY and walk away. My return this year is insane and a couple of stocks really pushed it (TSLA, PLTR, etc). I don't invest for homeruns, so I tend to ignore meme stocks and the flavor of the month. I want EPS and EPS growth, low debt and lots of cashflow. I especially like market dominance bordering on monopolistic positions.

My smaller account:

The larger account is 89.81% which i started this year around late march. First year of trading/investing in actual stocks/options vs the prepackaged etfs and mutual funds I've been in for the past decade. Fully understand we are in a bull and results next year could be wildly different. Hoping to repeat, but need to keep a cool head and not get greedy.

Great returns everyone just be aware that the investments that deliver outsized returns have outsized pullbacks . In a year with no pullbacks traders can become complacent to the risk . Don’t be afraid to book some gains or trail stops don’t let them have it back !
