i see your point and many thanks to your words.

what do you mean by oxymoron? can you give me an example related to TSMC case? sorry i am located in Taiwan and my english is not that good. i need more examples to boost my understanding.

I am located in Taiwan and trade options both in Taiwan and the US. quite interested in what you guys in the US think the possibility that China would invade Taiwan in the near future. I personally think the chance is kind of very low. Both sides on Taiwan strait is very good at calculating...

meta's cash flow from its operations are still very outstanding compared with other companies. i own a very small chuck of the stock and plan to add more. but i want to hear more about your take on this stock. Will metaverse become another mold to this company?

i happened to see this company has an Ad at a Taipei MRT station to recruit people in Taiwan five months ago (the ad also idenfities the stock ticker name, which was kind of a bullish signal to me) and out of curiousity i checked its stock price back then and it was low. Now since you brought...

your cat-eat-tiger thesis is a wishful thinking that the chance of happening is less than an 911-like event.

Lisa Su moved to the US at the age of three, from Tainan/Taiwan, the island/county where TSMC is based. And the place where i am typing these words.

it was a nightmare, as i sold 15 lots of 25 puts before April 2, when LK admitted it cooked the sales. I lost quite a lot. I am from Taiwan and blindly trusted this company's model and even visited China to see its stores' operations. In hindsight, I should have bet all my wagers on PDD...

what he said is losses on selling naked calls to be unlimited, which is correct.

i did this strategy last week to buy LK at $29.668 and sell its $29 calls weekly, 6000 shares and 60 lots. The 29 call's IV was as high as 70% to produce a premium of $1.4. This strategy worked last week as LK closed on 12/6 at around $29.7, allowing me to pocket a gain of 4K+ for the week...

csp per se is no more riskier than holding underlying assets, aside from the fact that holding puts sold has to deal with the vega risk.
