Hello mooers!

Last week, U.S. November CPI (Consumer Price Index) data showed that inflation cooled faster than the market had expected. This directly reinforced investors’ firm bets on Fed rate cuts next year and fueled gains in the U.S. stock market. Benefiting from this favorable macro backdrop, the technology sector—led by chip stocks—rallied strongly and staged an impressive comeback. Among them, memory chip giant Micron Technology delivered a stunning earnings outlook, becoming the key spark that ignited market enthusiasm.

Weekly roundup: Inflation data boosts the U.S. stock market！

@Mimido shared his 2025 review as well as his attitude and views on risk management in options trading.

risk management. Do not go all in, especially when trading options. If you trade beyond what you can handle, you will always make mistakes. Remember, the stock market is not a playground. It is you versus the money makers. They can easily manipulate your decisions if you trade beyond your ability. Sometimes you make a good entry, but when you see the price dropping, you feel stressed and end up making a bad stop-loss decision.Read more>>

3 words to describe my investment journey:

#DiversifiedPortfolio #DistributionOfRisk #BalancedView

>I diversify my investment by holding S&P500 ETFs which are my top-3 best return stock.

>I have a risk-distributed portfolio: 10% high risk: 30% medium risk: 60% low risk (adjusted 5 months ago):

High risk - Short and Long term Options

Medium risk - Long term holding of stocks and ETFs

Low risk - Moomoo cash plus fund Fullerton SGD + CSOP USD MMF), Income funds with monthly dividends >I managed my risk by investing within my mean (holding sufficient emergency fund) and by doing a thorough research on every stocks I invested in (DYODD).

Trading Insights

@ImSteven analyzed Tesla’s options open interest and implied volatility to identify options trading opportunities.

From an implied volatility perspective, Tesla’s IV sits around the 17th percentile (relatively low versus its own history). However, the absolute level is still above 50, which generally keeps the risk-reward tilted more in favor of the short side (premium selling) than the long side.

Given Tesla’s tendency to swing aggressively, I would views short-side structures as the more robust approach.Below are three simple, beginner-friendly short-side strategies. Read more>>

@Options Hunter shared his options trading strategies for MU before and after its earnings report.

Before earnings: Favor neutral-bullish, vega-positive structures (double calendars) due to limited expected move and positive drift.

After earnings: Look for mean reversion or continuation setups, especially following muted downside reactions or large one-day moves like:

1. buy call or call spread to capture post earnings upside moves

2. put credit spread if you have a neutral-bullish outlook Read more>>
