*what causes me to make bad financial decisions?* I once ventured into the thrilling world of day trading, and what a rollercoaster ride it was! As the US stock market neared its closing bell (it was early morning in NZ), I was glued to my charts, leveraging my position on TQQQ with intensity. But just as I thought I had it all under control, my tiny traders-in-training (aka my kids) woke up, demanding breakfast with a chorus of "Mum I want this, mum I want that!" In that split second, TQQQ took a nosedive, and my heart sank. But thank goodness for that trusty stop-loss order, or else our family's meals would have been in jeopardy! Talk about a wake-up call - literally! It was a close call, but I learned my lesson: never underestimate the power of a hungry child (or a volatile market)!
🌟🌟🌟 $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ is a meme stock and its share movement is very much tied to the situation with Donald Trump. It would appear that DJT will fall due to the recent conviction of Trump in the hush money trial. However like all meme stocks it is difficult to predict its movement accurately since Trump has a group of loyal supporters who may buy up the stock in which case, a short squeeze may occur. I prefer to wait and see before taking further action.
Nvidia holds shares in 4 listed companies: ARM & SOUN stand out
As a leader in the GPU field, $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ not only occupies an important position in the development of ultra-high-performance graphics processors, but its activeness in the venture capital field is also eye-catching.Currently, NVIDIA holds investments in more than 40 companies, including 87 subsidiaries, 13 mergers and some proposed acquisition targets, most of which are private companies.Among the listed companies, four companies are particularly worthy of attention: two of them have already stood out. $ARM Holdings Ltd(ARM)$ Although NVIDIA had planned to acquire Arm Holdings but ultimately failed due to regulatory obstruction, Arm Holdings' performance this year is still strong, with a 65% incr
Apple is the hidden AI play that may surprise investors at WWDC
Apple $Apple(AAPL)$ stock is currently trading at $191.29, only 3.44% lower than its all-time high of $198.11. Apple stock has climbed 12.46% so far this month, on pace to have its best month since July 2022. The stock may continue its uptrend momentum heading into WWDC. Apple will host WWDC from June 10-14, and it is widely expected that Apple will launch practical AI functions and announce a partnership with OpenAI during the event. Approximately 1.46 billion people worldwide use iPhones. I reckon AI-enabled phones will drive a multiyear upgrade cycle, similar to the significant improvements seen with the introduction of smartphones. Why Should You Be Optimistic About Apple Stock Heading into WWDC? 1) Historical Performance During WWDC
I opened $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ,My decision to invest further in Tesla, despite its recent performance struggles, is grounded in a long-term perspective. The stock's reaction to Musk’s optimistic future outlook suggests that the market still values Tesla’s potential to disrupt and lead in the automotive and technology sectors. However, this investment comes with the recognition of inherent risks, including competitive pressures and the execution of Tesla’s ambitious plans. Please see my post on 'Investment Reflection on Additional Tesla Stock Purchase' published on 31 May 2024.
Weekly | Hot HK IPOs Are Back! Making Money Effortlessly With IPOs?
Hong Kong stocks were weak this week, with $HSI(HSI)$ retreating for four consecutive days and losing 2.84%.On Friday, the Bureau of Statistics revealed that the May Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) stood at 49.5%, down 0.9% from the previous month.Mainly due to the high base formed by earlier rapid growth in the manufacturing industry and insufficient effective demand, the sentiment level in the manufacturing sector has declined somewhat.In terms of sectors, real estate and healthcare were still the biggest losers this week:With Hong Kong stocks taking a breather, southbound funds bought in a whopping HK$29.7 billion this week!Despite the sluggish market, new listings stole the show.

Both $Pfizer(PFE)$ and $AstraZeneca PLC(AZN)$, the two biggest and most profitable pharmaceutical giants, have set their eyes on major expansion! With billions of dollars invested in R&D, two titans are sure to hatch some "golden goose" drugs and grow even bigger. But it seems AstraZeneca's ambitions have investors cheering even more!AmbitiousPfizer's 2030 strategy is to boost their revenue by at least $45 billion. They're planning to do this through internal R&D, acquisitions, licensing deals, collaborations, and buying up drug assets. If all goes well, they'll have at least 8 blockbuster drugs on the market by 2030, with cancer drugs being a key focus.Pfizer's revenue in 2023 is $58.5 billion, and
$GameStop(GME)$Why DRS Won’t Work: What “Apes” fail to recognize is that unless you DRS most of the float to the point where there are significantly less shares available to cover than are short, the plan won’t work very well, at least not as desired, even if you succeed at pumping the price high enough to force them to close. Problem with drs is, institutional holdings make up a large percentage of the float and they’ll never drs. Why? Because most of those holdings are “required” to be bought by institutions like $BlackRock(BLK)$ and Vanguard for their many index funds that track the indices that “must” include GME by weight. Approximately 90% of institutional holdings are just
$Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc.(FFIE)$In a penny stock pump and dump, what happens is the ring leaders of the pump load up on shares at a very low price. They choose a company that doesn't have a lot of interest, and as low a stock price as possible. This "load up period" is while they plan the pump. Then, once they have as much of a position as they can put together, they start the pump. They ran it up, and unloaded. What you see here is just the remaining energy from the fish they got all stirred up about it. What is left is actual risk taking. What they did wasn't risky, other than if they couldn't get any traction on their pump. They had nowhere to go but up.Look at the volume from April 30th until May 10th

Summary The legendary baseball catcher Yogi Berra could sure help us out in understanding the current investing environment. Having a 'bearish engulfing pattern' is no guarantee of seeing a bearish reversal. I think that if we rise above 4.74% on the 10-year rate in June, stocks will flirt with the April lows and if we head towards 5%, the April lows in the stock market may not hold. champpixs The legendary baseball catcher Yogi Berra could sure help us out in understanding the current investing environment. He famously said, when giving directions, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” The problem is, he didn’t elaborate which fork to take. I think the stock market reached a fork in the road last Thursday, and I am not sure which fork it will take from here, but we’ve see
Yes, every bad decision has been the result of not knowing enough about the company before investing. But I've also come to the realisation that time often evens out the bad especially if you invest at the bottom of a cycle. What is my investment approach now though? If I like something new, I'll spend time researching it, if it looks better than something else in my portfolio or it adds depth to my portfolio then I'll invest a tiny amount, like 10 bucks or less. Over time you start to get a feel for the stock, soaking up all information on it, getting an understanding of when it's cheap and when it's expensive.
