I personally think removal of forward guidance kind of level the playing field between the whales and retail investors like us. We do not have sophisticated set ups like institutional investors to capitalize on forward guidance, so without it everyone can only rely on what the market is showing us for the trading day. I think it is too soon to predict regarding rate changes. Yes there is speculation of rate hike in the second half of the year, however why stress about something which might or never even happen? SpaceX. If you are looking to trade it, and have your entry and exit strategies in place, I will say go for it then. But if you are looking to hold it as a long term investment, its advisable to sit on the sidelines and resist from entry right now. Let the dust settle and you wi

So there is a general hawkishness reaction to the latest fed announcement by the new chairman, Kevin Warsh. He announced that there will not be any forward guidance moving forward, and a general consensus that there might be a rate hike leading to second half of the year. The market clearly didnt like his words, and went into slight correction. As a full time trader, killing forward guidance is a significant impact on my trading strategies because now I have one less economic indicator to justify my trades. However, the beauty of being a retail investor with a smaller account size is I could adjust my approach moving forward according to what the
Admist all the mess and turmoil happening around the world, Singapore is quietly working behind the scenes to position themselves as a safe, reliable and strong investment option in Asia. STI just hit its all time high on 18 June 2026. As a Singaporean residing overseas, I am proud to say that I am from Singapore🇸🇬. Majulah Singapura!🫡
Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. Kevin Warsh and his team decide to maintain rates, which is largely in line with market expectations. However, he did announce that there would be no more forward guidance. This means we will no longer know what will happen at the next fed announcement until it happens. Think the mag 7 companies didnt like this news and was red for a bit, although they did recover slightly towards closing. As a retail investor, I am not thrilled by the removal of forward guidance as I will be stripped off one financial indicator. However, it is not the end of the world and the investment journey goes on. To end this post with a classic Trump move, poi

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. Let’s see how Kevin Warsh is going to handle his first FOMC meeting and announcement. With heated inflation numbers and high expectation that interest rate will remain the same, maybe its already reflected in the stock market, with tech stocks having a sharp correction heading into the close today. Is the conflict between Iran and USA really over? With Israel clearly unhappy with the terms agreed, there might be room for some last minute drama. And who do you think is the real winner out of this peace deal? I personally think its Iran.

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. Market opened today with extended bullishness from last Thursday d/t Trump announcement of a peace deal with Iran “done” and it will be signed on Sunday. However, it has since been delayed to Wednesday, in line with FOMC rate announcement. This shift has got me thinking, what is this manipulator planning up his sleeves again? So I am holding back my bullets on the tech sector and see how it plays out on Wednesday. The bullishness in the stock market might be because of the continued positive outlook on SPCX since its debut on Friday. Pretty surprised that it still maintained its high level into today. But I will wait for the day that SPY or QQQ a
@koolgal:The Silicon Roller Coaster & Which Chip Stocks to Buy? 🌟🌟🌟The semiconductor sector underwent an absolute high velocity short squeeze. The Direxion 3x Leveraged Semiconductor Bull ETF ( SOXL) surged a violent 24% in a single session. Memory giant Micron jumped 11.66%, networking master Marvell surged 11% and legacy titan Intel climbed 9.27%. Is this explosive bounce a good time to buy these semiconductor stocks or is it a brutal bear market trap? Let's take a closer look at what these stocks do and why they are up. $Micron Technology(MU)$ is the AI Storage Vault. Micron is one of the only 3 global companies capable of manufacturing High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Think of graphics ch
@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟I choose B: Electricity & Cooling as it represents the ultimate physical limitation of computing power. An AI data centre cannot run on hype. It runs on electricity & massive thermal power. Companies like $GEVernova Inc.(GEV)$ & $Eaton Corp PLC(ETN)$ hold multi year monopolies on industrial transformers & electrical grid hardware. Their backlogs are completely backed up into the 2030s. Hyper scalers are actively buying nuclear power access just to plug into Eaton's switches. $Vertiv Holdings LLC(VRT
@Tiger V:$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple (AAPL) is currently exhibiting a cautious market posture following its WWDC event, with valuation metrics suggesting a premium that requires strong execution to justify. Apple's stock is under short-term selling pressure post-WWDC, trading at a premium valuation. While the long-term thesis around an AI-driven upgrade cycle remains intact, the market is currently pricing in high expectations that the company must meet.
