hi there ,

I see that you shared your portfolio - with performance on your website. Looks like there is a typo on the BABA buy , you might have bought this in 2025 not 2026.

Question for you-- Do you buy the stock in all cases or do you invest in options like Huntsman ?

Uh I'll have to check, thanks for sharing! Keep in mind this isn't my portfolio it is only my stock picking. All stocks bought at the price and shared on the write ups, assuming that price was reached after sharing the write up.

My portfolio is different from what is shown on the website.

And yes, I use lots of options on my account which is why I do not share my positions, I have my own way of managing my book which might not correspond to someone else's.

The way I see things, what matters is the stock pick, not the mean to play it!

Thanks for the reply - are your returns then much better ? because I like to try options and follow your suggestions

It's not about increasing returns it's about managing liquidity. If you wanna use options to add leverage I don't think it is the right mindset. But it certainly works, both ways.

I use options to manage liquidity and leverage my positions on "safe" setups which I wouldn't be able to take otherwise. But I always have liquidity available if necessary to cover for the position as options are margin.

So it's just a different way of thinking about your portfolio, it isn't - or shouldn't be, only used to increase potential returns.

Appreciate it! Substrack got me frustrated and got readers confused sometimes so I needed to find a solution!

Hope that’ll answer the need!
