# These two potential risks are also areas I need to be vigilant about.1. Choose an investment method 

These two potential risks are also areas I need to be vigilant about.

1\. Choose an investment method that suits your current life and work situation. Although recent options have high returns, it also means high risk, which is not so friendly to office workers.

In March, I positioned too many options on AMD, Microsoft, and Amazon. Winning would be leveraging small capital for big gains, but losing would also erode last year's profits.

2\. Not just mid-term elections, every major change brings global systemic risks. Such as the internet bubble or threats of regional wars. Should we diversify our portfolio?

Yesterday's floating loss was nearly 10K, basically wiping out the over 20% floating profit from 2026. Holding options at this time requires even more risk control.

The main floating loss was in the heavily weighted $AMD(AMD.US). The March options experienced significant time decay. The protective options helped a bit, but unfortunately, the puts were sold a bit late. I also didn't expect it to drop so quickly again after hours.

Added a bit of $Southern Copper(SCCO.US) March options.

$Amazon(AMZN.US) is okay, but the $Microsoft(MSFT.US) March options have shrunk too much.

It's not good to add more, but it's also not good not to add. I can only add a little bit in a stepwise manner.

This recent period is similar to last October: after making big gains, there's a large-scale giveback, but this time it's harder to endure, with more uncertainty.

AI is the direction. Someone shared this piece of information yesterday, which is a bit scary.

I heard there's a requirement: this year's Spring Festival Gala across the country will promote AI to the public. Not only that, but everyone should also be mentally prepared to be replaced by AI. Could it be that the declining birth rate is irreversible, and "AI creating people" has become the new national policy? Some experts have also said before: If the maturity and scaling speed of robots just offset the speed of population decline, this would be a "perfect" transition for China (only from an economic perspective)...

So, what should we do living in this world, what kind of people should we become...
