At its July 31st meeting, the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at 4.25%–4.5%, but something unusual happened: two Fed governors—Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees—broke ranks and voted for an immediate rate cut. It’s the first time in over 30 years that two FOMC members have simultaneously dissented in favor of easing. In its statement, the Fed acknowledged that economic growth has "moderated," though it continued to describe the labor market as “strong” and inflation as “slightly above target.” The central bank also warned that the economic outlook remains “highly uncertain.” This mixed messaging reflects a growing dilemma for policymakers: on one hand, tariffs could keep inflation elevated, arguing for staying higher for longer; on the other, job m
$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ [Call] The Lesson of Patience and Conviction In 2020, I invested in a company I believed in—my 4th-best-performing holding. Its fundamentals were strong, but when the storm hit in 2022, doubt crept in. The market turned bearish, sentiment soured, and even my own conviction wavered [Sigh] I hesitated, missing the chance to dollar-cost average (DCA) when prices were low[Sigh] Yet, time revealed the truth. The company's solid foundation carried it through the turbulence, rewarding those who held—or better yet, bought—when others feared [Serious] The lesson? Fundamentals endure. Market sentiment is fickle, but a strong business weather
🔍 Keppel Surprises On Earnings — But Is The Rally Sustainable? Keppel Corporation ($Keppel(BN4.SI)$ ) delivered a solid beat last quarter—and markets responded. The stock popped nearly 5% on earnings day, while Keppel $KEPPEL REIT(K71U.SI)$ rose ~2% and Keppel DC REIT ($Keppel DC Reit A(X1JU.SI)$ ) gained ~2.65%. Is this move based on real underlying progress—or just short‑term optimism on urban infrastructure investing? Let’s unpack what’s behind the bounce. --- 🏗️ Keppel 2.0: From Oil‑Rigs to Smart Infrastructure Keppel is shedding its legacy offshore & marine image in favor of an asset‑light urban infrastructure strategy.

UnitedHealth Group’s 7.5% Drop Reflects Reset Expectations—But Is the Worst Already Priced In?
$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) released its second-quarter earnings, and the market reacted swiftly—shares fell more than 5% on the day. While there are both encouraging and concerning aspects to the report, this latest development reflects a pivotal moment for long-term investors. Today, I’ll walk you through what surprised me, what didn’t, and why I opted not to buy the dip—despite holding a position purchased at $420 per share, now down roughly 37% from that level. Although my UNH stake remains up 31% overall across the broader portfolio, I refrained from averaging down today. Here's why. A Massive EPS Miss Overshadows Revenue Beat The company reported a significant earnings miss, with adjusted EPS coming in at $4.08, well be
Texas Instruments Slides as Tariff Headwinds and Bleak Forecast Cloud Chip Demand
$Texas Instruments(TXN)$ Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) experienced an 11 percent drop in its stock price following its Q2 2025 earnings release, as executives delivered a cautious outlook amid rising tariff uncertainty and weakening analog chip demand. While Q2 revenue of $4.45 billion and EPS of $1.41 exceeded estimates, management warned that the strength may have been driven by customers pulling forward orders ahead of looming tariffs. The subdued Q3 profit guidance and geopolitical headwinds have reignited investor concerns: is TI merely digging in for cyclical softness, or is this a strategic inflection point in a broader semiconductor slowdown?

$Apple(AAPL)$ I added to my Apple (AAPL) position as the stock appears undervalued after an 18% drop in the first half, driven by concerns over slow AI adoption and tariff exposure. But the tide is turning. Apple is rolling out its Apple Intelligence strategy and benefits from ongoing trade negotiations that may ease pressure. With 2.2 billion active devices feeding high-margin services revenue and a loyal global user base, Apple offers long-term upside. At just 29x forward earnings, it's a compelling opportunity for growth with resilience.
$Broadcom(AVGO)$ I made an additional investment in AVGO as Broadcom’s growth story strengthens post-VMware acquisition. Its infrastructure software revenue rose 25% YoY in Q2 FY2025, with 87% of its top 10,000 customers now using the VCF platform. This high-margin, recurring revenue stream enhances its chip business and supports AI and private cloud demand. With $10 billion in EBITDA (67% margin), $6.4 billion in free cash flow, and $7 billion returned to shareholders, Broadcom’s capital efficiency and shareholder focus make it a compelling long-term investment.
$CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$ Why I Bought CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (C38U.SI) In a market climate clouded by uncertainty and rising global interest rates, making selective and strategic REIT investments has become more important than ever. Among the many choices on the SGX, I have chosen to accumulate CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), ticker C38U.SI — and here's why. 1. Prime Assets in Strategic Locations CICT owns a diversified portfolio of retail and office assets in Singapore's most prominent commercial districts — including Raffles City, Plaza Singapura, Funan, and CapitaSpring. Many of these are trophy assets with irreplaceable locations that continue to draw strong footfall and attract resilient tenants. The

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Closed lower today for the third day in row after trading near record highs earlier in the session. The index rallied into the close but gave up its early gains this morning after the Federal Reserve kept interest rates steady, as was largely expected by Wall Street, but in the accompanying Q&A session Fed Chair Jerome Powell signalled that the central bank isn’t quite ready for rate cuts.S&P 500 1 day chart- Source Tiger TradeThe broad market index closed down 0.1% %, while the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ gained 0.15%.

Will Bitcoin’s Surge Ignite Coinbase and MicroStrategy Stocks on Earnings Day?

📉 August Crash or Buy-the-Dip Opportunity? 🧠 Here's My Playbook The S&P 500 ($SPY$) and Nasdaq 100 ($QQQ$) just notched four straight winning months. Momentum is hot. AI names are holding. Rates are (mostly) stable. But here’s the catch: August is historically tricky — and last year gave us a brutal reminder. > So… are we due for another August shakeout? Or is this rally stronger than it looks? Let’s break it down 👇 --- 📉 August Isn’t a Crash Month… Until It Is Zooming out, August has one of the weakest seasonality profiles of the year.

VeriSign Shares Slide Sharply After Berkshire Hathaway Trims Stake: What It Means for Investors
$VeriSign(VRSN)$ VeriSign's stock took a significant hit following revelations that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway sold nearly a third of its long-held stake in the domain name and internet infrastructure company. As markets absorb the implications of this high-profile divestment, investors are left questioning the company's long-term growth story amid evolving internet infrastructure and cybersecurity demands. Buffett's Quiet Exit Sends Shockwaves VeriSign Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), a low-profile but highly profitable company that manages domain name registries such as ".com" and ".net," saw its shares plunge sharply after it was disclosed in Berkshire Hathaway’s latest 13F filing that the Omaha-based investment conglomerate sold approximately one
CyberArk Software: A Strong Buy Amidst Accelerating Growth?
$CyberArk(CYBR)$ CyberArk Software (NASDAQ: CYBR), a leader in identity security and privileged access management (PAM), continues to demonstrate robust growth in an increasingly threat-prone digital landscape. With enterprises prioritizing zero-trust frameworks and compliance mandates, CyberArk’s solutions are in high demand.

Chevron (CVX) Profitability Both Downstream and Upstream To Watch
$Chevron(CVX)$ is scheduled to report its fiscal Q2 2025 earnings on Friday, August 1, 2025, before the market opens. EPS (Earnings Per Share): The Zacks Consensus Estimate for EPS is approximately $1.66, a drop of nearly 35% from the $2.55 reported in Q2 2024. Revenue: Revenue is expected to be around $47.1 billion, representing an almost 8% decrease from the same period last year. In Q1 2025, Chevron (CVX) reported adjusted earnings of $3.8 billion, or $2.18 per share, which beat the analyst consensus of $2.15. Despite this, revenue of $47.6 billion fell slightly short of expectations. The company's earnings were significantly lower year-over-year, primarily due to lower crude prices and refining margins, and higher expenses. However, this was la
