CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG BUT, As I turn 43 this year, I have realised, as a man, no one cares about you. Not your wife. Not your family. Not your friends. Not your workmates. Nobody. People act like they care, but deep down, they don't. You are on your own. Always on your own.
@bluewmist No matter what someone else does to you, stay loyal to your core principles and believes. In simple terms, focus on yourself and don’t jeopardize your character for someone else’s behaviors
You could buy 100 shares of $NOK right now for $1,553.
Or you could buy the $15 call expiring January 2028 for roughly $6.10.
That's $610 for leveraged exposure to 100 shares of Nokia - 20 months out - for about 60% less capital.
Breakeven: $21.10
Why the setup is interesting:
- Nvidia just invested $1B into Nokia to co-develop AI-powered telecom infrastructure
- AI and cloud revenue up 49% YoY, now 8% of total sales
- Optical Networks revenue up 20% YoY after the Infinera acquisition
- Q1 operating profit up 54% with raised full-year guidance
- Nokia Federal + Lockheed Martin launched a modular 5G defense solution
- 26,000+ patent families generating high-margin licensing revenue
If $NOK hits $25 by expiration, the LEAP returns roughly 64% vs 61% on shares.
If $NOK hits $30, the LEAP returns roughly 146% vs 93% on shares.
The max you can lose on a LEAP is the entire premium you paid. If $NOK drops significantly or stays flat, this contract loses value. Time decay works against you every day.
This is a capital-efficient way to gain exposure - not a replacement for risk management.
Not financial advice. I share these for education.
