Smaller amount of capital to risk for the possible return.That’s an interesting that you view option as a safer bet. I’m assuming it’s because smaller VAR?

Like what? :)That's exactly it. I definitely want to mitigate risk. I also don't want to invest too much money into RIVN at this time. I have other investments that I am eyeing.
Speaking of opportunities, I am thinking of purchasing either puts in YANG or calls in YINN. I am also thinking about buying YINN shares outright, selling upside calls (good volatility measures) and then buying YANG puts. I will be doing an analysis tonight. I do however want to see KWEB definitively break over $30 before jumping into any of these trades.+1
Good thought, especially since it has dipped over the past month. Nice set-up for a positive surprise.
I always view it differently. Because you can lose 100% of your investment in a short amount of time with options. If you buy the stock, less likely to have a 100% loss.That's exactly it.

I've been tracking all of these. I assume FXI will settle a bit after the massive pop, but it FINALLY looks like China isn't messing around anymore. When thinking of YINN calls or YANG puts, how do you decide? I assume YINN calls may have more upside, but to be honest, I'm not that experienced with puts. I mostly use calls.Speaking of opportunities, I am thinking of purchasing either puts in YANG or calls in YINN.

Yeah, but you have to buy much more $ in shares to match the possible return of short-term calls (i.e., dollars earned).I always view it differently. Because you can lose 100% of your investment in a short amount of time with options. If you buy the stock, less likely to have a 100% loss.
In general, I agree with your view. In this case, I am playing a catalyst event.I always view it differently. Because you can lose 100% of your investment in a short amount of time with options. If you buy the stock, less likely to have a 100% loss.
I am not looking at one particular stock, just at the indices. If I was looking at one to buy, it would be PDD. FXI is in similar boat as KWEBI've been tracking all of these.

Any specific China stocks to watch? I own a small amount of BABA, but that's it.
I assume KWEB has more upside potential than FXI. CWEB is the 2X version.I am not looking at one particular stock, just at the indices. If I was looking at one to buy, it would be PDD. FXI is in similar boat as KWEB

Just bought a bunch of those 10/4 RIVN calls.....$11.5 strike. Will look at YINN this afternoon.I bought a ton of RIVN calls for 10/4. I have an inkling that the delivery numbers will look good next week. Not confident enough though to buy shares outright.
KWEB and FXI decisively broke upwards today. Bought YINN and puts in YANG. Let's se where it goes from here.Just bought a bunch of those 10/4 RIVN calls.....$11.5 strike. Will look at YINN this afternoon.
Bought YINN after hours and hoping for a modest dip to buy more. Might grab some CWEB for the hell of it. Tepper had an interesting quote:KWEB and FXI decisively broke upwards today. Bought YINN and puts in YANG. Let's se where it goes from here.
I appreciate the tremendous advantages of their tech. They are likely a year out from showing profitability, with one chip manufacturing facility in NY ramping up now and second wafer manufacturing facility in NC set to come online very soon. As an investor, the payoff is likely 3-5 years out. But Mr. Market may rediscover WOLF in advance of that timeframe.@RUinPinehurst , I know you're a proponent of WOLF. Its been pretty stagnant for a while (though up the last 2 days). Are you anticipating it will trade sideways for lengthy period of time or is now the time to get in, in your opinion?
Gotta love how Tepper pretends like he wasn’t tipped off that China was going the stimulus route.Bought YINN after hours and hoping for a modest dip to buy more. Might grab some CWEB for the hell of it. Tepper had an interesting quote:
"buy everything in China"
LOL! That's pretty clear.
LOL! I’m sure that is true.Gotta love how Tepper pretends like he wasn’t tipped off that China was going the stimulus route.
I’m not suggesting there is any concrete truth to the HBO series Industry but I’d be willing to bet some of the “greatest financial minds” made their fortunes on inside information. Very little investment risk when you know the likely outcome.LOL! I’m sure that is true.
This sums up members of Congress as well! I'm sure there is plenty of Gekko-like behavior on Wall Street. Everyone speaks with everyone at that level.I’m not suggesting there is any concrete truth to the HBO series Industry but I’d be willing to bet some of the “greatest financial minds” made their fortunes on inside information.

Just wondering, any idea if the delivery announcement is tomorrow or Thursday? I guess the date isn't pre-announced. Can't find it.I bought a ton of RIVN calls for 10/4. I have an inkling that the delivery numbers will look good next week. Not confident enough though to buy shares outright.
Still haven't watched. Will probably listen today while driving around. Could listen at the gym too. But it WILL be done.
Been in BABA for a while and bought YINN last week. Sadly, didn't jump on those FXI calls. Oh well.Ya, missed the early portion of the China run. Looking for a pullback in BABA to jump in, but it's been up the last 3 days.
Price Paid?Been in BABA for a while and bought YINN last week. Sadly, didn't jump on those FXI calls. Oh well.
$74'ish. :)Price Paid?
I've been in and out. Should have gotten back in with the talk of gov't stimulus that had been floating around.
T2K, question for you and the board. I have some Tbills that mature tomorrow and am debating whether to put back the money in Tbills at 4.5% or put that money in some stock that is low risk but may provide a nice 5-10% increase in the next few months.
Any suggestions?

A very reasonable position to have on China. Even during a nice rally, you are always playing with fire.I tried investing in China stocks/ETFs a couple of times in the past. I either absorbed big losses or got out on the nick of time. My personal opinon, Chicoms gonna Chicom and FUBAR their markets. I made a vow to myself to not invest in Chinese companies.
Gotta look up HL! :)I you want to know what stocks members of congress are buying, check this out on Twitter.
I see PDD, a Chinese company, near the top of that list.
