Market Recap | Regional Banks Give Up Early Gains; Stock Indexes Little Changed Another slide in regional-bank stocks and data showing tightening lending conditions left major stock indexes little changed on Monday. Shares of several smaller lenders spiked early Monday, lifted by a dividend cut from PacWest Bancorp that boosted investors' confidence in its survival odds. While $PacWest(PACW)$ added around 3.7% for the day, the broader gains unwound as a volatile session wore on, leaving the KBW Nasdaq Regional Banking Index down 2.8%. Indexes were buoyed by gains in some large technology firms. Communication-services companies led the S&P 500, boosted to a 1.3% gain by advances in shares of Meta and Alphabet. Megacap tech companies have propelled the stock market's gains this year, out

Many times, dividends are overlooked when it comes to investing. People often chase growth and forget about dividends. But what if dividends can save you in uncertain periods and protect your portfolio, what would you do? Below I list a few reasons why investors should also add dividend stocks to their portfolios. 1. Dividend-paying companies have strong balance sheets and free cash flow statements. For the companies to pay dividends to their shareholders, they need to generate cash from somewhere in their day-to-day business operations. Only when the company has determined that they have a very sound and strong free cash flow, in which they have nowhere else to deploy the capital as of now will they distribute the extra to the shareholders in dividends. 2. Companies that pay out dividen

Huobi HT Heco  Huobi claims to have rewards waiting for simple tasks. They fail to have written responses to receiving rewards therefore I, like alot of Huobi traders miss claim time and lose potential investment contributors. There is also no points made when completing tasks that rewards have an expiry. Big disadvantage for the webb/app.

Thank you Tiger Brokers for my own special presentations of my investment journey! It had been a wonderful year (good or bad) and most delightful investment experience I have ever come across and I'm very much looking forward to many more wonderful days ahead and so much more to learn.  It was a Scammer that instructed me to sign up for an account with Tiger Broker, but I'm thankful that it had came to be, because I would never have come to known Tiger Brokers otherwise. The Scammer Analyst promised people big profits by instructing people to buy shares (in Telegram chatroom) using people's Tiger Brokers account, but people made huge losses when selling their shares according to the Analysts instructions. It must have been a fake stock that he instructed people to buy. Friends @Viv22

Through my friend Tigress02 I have the fortune of knowing Tiger Brokers and had the chance to experience share trading for the first time. It was however challenging, but I have the most wonderful experience of watching my money grow and anticipating my first payday. I have experience losses so far, but it's only paper losses and I have full confidence that the share market will pick up again and I'll be able to pick up where I left off. I'm looking forward to many more wonderful days ahead and so much more to learn and experience. Thank you Tiger Brokers! Wonderful Friends Tigress02 @HelloKitty55 @rL @Zarkness @Ah Meng

It's the time of the year to wonder, what truly follows after the economy restarts. Looking around the world Tech companies are going for a full restructure and massively laying off their stuff, is it a sign ofa true recession and is it a repeat of all Great Recession we saw before? Perhaps during the stage ofrestart, we need to relook about our position in Tech stocks and find out what history has taught us.

Portfolio allocationPortfolio allocation needs to be based on industries and countries. Given the recent developments in the US, I am even more convinced to move more of my investing into Asia, BRICS and other developing regions. I remain interested in a few US companies that have global presence.Investing StrategyI have recently added macro considerations to my fundamental analysis. For my entry and exit, I rely on technical indicators. Technical analysis help me to remove emotions out of my decision making. The following is part of my “evolving” investing strategy:MACRO + Fundamantal Analysis + Technical Analysis (for entry & exit)As an aspiring value investor, this sounds ironic as value investing looks mainly at the stock’s fair value, moat and proven operational & fi

As some of you may know, I'm a huge fan of Jesse Livermore. Well, maybe not the person, but I enjoy reading Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. It might sound silly but I constantly re-read the book to see if there are new lessons to learn.  With this, I would like to talk about finding our own ways to trade. Looking back at how I traded in 2022, I felt that I had to develop my own trading/investment style. I also saw an article today that Warren Buffet had sold more of his $BYD Co., Ltd.(BYDDY)$   shares and increased on TSMC. It went on to analyse why he did it. While I thought the article was quite detailed, I often wonder whether it is true. But the truth of the matter is we will never know why Warren Buffet did it. It coul

Quite surprised to see the annual recap pop out. It's nicely done. tiger has done a great job. Haha. It's indeed true that most of my positions are in options. Guess the trading of options has gotten mechanical to the point that I didn't even realised how Much money is being transacted. [LOL] [Facepalm] . Glad that tiger pointed it out. [Thinking]  Thought about the winning rate. It makes sense as i did DCA for stocks, and rolling for options For those That are not profitable.This will mean that I take loss for short termto buy time for trade to go in my direction. It's really amazing to see how generous is tiger. That's a lot of free gifts. [Cool]  Well, not too bad for 2022. let's make 2023 a better year. [Cool] [Cool] [Cool] 

My most viewed share in 2022 is $TransMedics Group, Inc.(TMDX)$ .  It is also my most profitable trade in 2022. TransMedics' revenue jumped 378% year over year in the third quarter, driven by commercial sales of its heart and liver transport systems. TransMedics guided for full-year revenue growth of at least 164%, and its impressive 71% gross margins suggest the $1.9 billion company could be a cash cow for investors as it grows. TransMedics could also potentially be an attractive acquisition target for a larger health care company. TMDX stock went up 222.1% in 2022.

My most viewed stock in 2022 is $Netflix(NFLX)$ .Netflix has had a tough run this year. But a number of Wall Street analysts are confident for a recovery in 2023, piling up bullish ratings on the stock. On Friday, Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall upgraded his rating on Netflix stock to Overweight from Equal Weight. That followed J.P. Morgan, which had reiterated an Overweight rating on the shares a few days earlier. Back in mid-November, BofA Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich also reinstated her coverage of shares with a Buy rating.  My most profitable trade is 2022 is $PBF Energy Inc(PBF)$ .  And my top friend is
