The key to make money in the stock market is not to be correct more often than wrong. But to make much more when correct and lose less when wrong.

The COIN chart looks bad and about to break down. But that is why the call is cheap. Bitcoin moves style is opposite of stock, violent up and slowly down. Stock is slowly up and violent down. So have to buy it when it is not moving.

So the tariff is just a show. Mexico and Canada did the same thing as before, and Trump declares victory. The market saw through this. VIX did not go up too much the whole time. They knew nothing will change. Nice play by the market!

Buy SPY 2/7 +600/-2x610/+620 call butterfly $2.83. bet the market new all time high this week. In the midst of a trade war. This is the least probable scenario. So I bet on it. Always think differently.

Sell fast is important. Minimize losses is very key. Protect the principal. Determine to not losing money

I always panic sell. [Smile] I thought Feb 1st has strong seasonality, break above late Jan high is one step away. That will confirm this week is a new bull. But it retreated at this critical point. Lower high is very bad. That makes me think this week is only a rebound. Back down test low

Ha MSTR surges. The market told us the bottom is in when the put price collapsed. My guess: The market makers don’t want to price put too high. The put sellers force MM buying at an inflated price. MM don’t want to lose money. So they like to price the put low when the bottom is in.

Buy QQQ Feb 520 call $10.93. Was thinking buying QQQ calls yesterday for the overreaction. So took profit on the put first. Maybe it could continue lower today. But nope. So have to buy calls today.

Today’s AI sell off is an Overreaction. China AI cost is lower Because OpenAI is open source. They avoid all the development cost. Just like the generic drug is 1% cost of the brand name. But it does not mean the patients don’t take medicine. The demand for power and chips is higher not lower.
