This is my plush tiger, very nicely protected in the cover still. I treat it like a precious toy for keepsake and would prefer to keep it clean. I do not create any DIY outfits as I like my toys in their original state. I guess I’m just nostalgic…and it reminds me of my journey with $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$. @Universe宇宙 @Wayneqq @rL @DiAngel @HelenJanet @Success88 @SPOT

These protests and political halo have escalated beyond my expectation and are uncalled for. Their efforts will be futile. There are still many Tesla fans and both musk and trump are not going to stop what they intend to do. Undoubtedly, other competitors will try to seize Tesla’s market share but it is still a household name for people looking to own EV. So, I don’t think Tesla will dip lower than $200 unless there are other news such as sales not meeting expectations, further vehicle recalls due to faulty parts or problems in its production line. I will never buy Tesla share as I believe there are better competitors especially the Chinese EV companies that are rising up and I like BYD. Nonetheless, I think it might drop to $210-220. @rL

Li's qualities as a leader—strategic thinking, resilience, and a focus on long-term growth—are evident in his corporate success. For instance, during challenging times for Sea, he prioritized employee morale and long-term potential over immediate profitability. These traits could translate well into revitalizing Singapore football, especially in areas like infrastructure, talent development, and international competitiveness. However, a deeper understanding of football's inner workings is crucial for this role. Others in the football community may bring more extensive on-the-ground experience. Ultimately, the decision may hinge on whether the football community values visionary leadership and business acumen over traditional football expertise.

Pop Mart has indeed been making waves, with its collectibles like Labubu and Molly becoming cultural icons, especially among Gen Z. These characters, with their unique designs and the thrill of blind box unboxing, have captured the hearts of young collectors worldwide. Labubu, for instance, has gained popularity partly due to endorsements by celebrities like BLACKPINK's Lisa. Pop Mart's strategy of creating trademarkable characters like Molly and Labubu has been a cornerstone of its success. The company has leveraged its proprietary designs to foster consumer loyalty and elevate its brand identity. I will not jump on this as I am not a fan of collectibles. I prefer buying the stock of pop mart and Moutai than to buy the products as there is no storage concerns for me and I feel that ther

They are still too expensive and I won’t enter now. Will not buy the dip for MAGS and do not favour any of the MAG 7 stock given the current valuation. Fully agree with the analysts’ view on US stock valuation. I might swing trade during periods of volatility such as inflation reports, economy data but will prefer to wait and watch for longer term investment. @DiAngel @Wayneqq @SPOT_ON @Success88 @Universe宇宙 @rL

I have never bought gold as gold incurs storage cost and of itself has no growth potential. It only rises during times of uncertainty due to demand as people rush to a secure asset. Now that gold has hit $3000, all the more I feel that the potential upside/benefit cannot outweigh the risks. I would prefer to stay away at this current value. I do think that gold still has a bit more upside with trump’s tariffs and the potential trade war, though I think it would only hit $3200 before retreating. I don’t think trump would be that foolish to engage in trade wars; the tariffs are just his strategies to get what he wants. Once that is clear, gold will retreat.

When it comes to trading, I prefer tailwind as the stock price can continue to go higher up especially with the greater market sentiment. However, for investment, if the headwind is a temporary one, I would prefer to pick up good stocks at a discount. For both strategies, I prefer not to leverage as the risk is too much for my appetite. So, my preference depends on whether I am trading or intend to hold the stock for the longer term ie the horizon. While I like ETFs, I prefer the usual ones which are more intuitive than inverse ETFs.

Big Mac is the classic index that many use. I think it is a common product that many countries have and so becomes a common comparator. In many countries, of course there are other cheaper alternatives and healthier alternatives than Big Mac. I have at least hot pot freedom but i do see freedom as the choice to choose given the income. In life, there is more than just food as there are also many other expenditures. In Singapore, buying a house and car are often the most expensive purchases. So, consumer index might be a fairer comparison across countries as many people definitely need to consumer services too. There are also alternatives such as iPhone and kfc index to account for the different prices of raw ingredients and preference. So, maybe, for comparison across countries, the

I have never bought Tesla and believed that it is too risky given the unpredictability and stiff competition. While I believe in the long term outlook of Nvidia, I did not buy the previous dip as I think it is still too expensive and the big uncertainty of geopolitics and policies between the US and China which could send the price crashing. I prefer in ETFs which is safer and requires less effort. Of course, even with ETF, my US holdings dipped after last night. I will choose to hold for now and watch. If the price drops another 5%, I would add. If price can recover half of yesterday’s lose, I would rethink about whether to sell to lock in profits.

I think it is very important to be aware of one’s investment horizon, risk appetite and to manage risk. Personally, I don’t manages my wins and losses very much to my family as I am a conservative investor with the primary aim of stewarding my money instead of dreaming of big windfalls. Improving stock trading skills may contribute to family harmony if one can treat his family better. Conversely, if risk is not properly managed and debt is incurred, this can cause unnecessary family stress and distress. I am perfectly ok if my partner losses money in stock trading as long as this doesn’t affect our financial stability and I’m sure gains will come from other stocks too. I’m sure there are times where losses are incurred to cut losses in stocks that unexpected turned bad fundamentals and los

Won’t bottom the US stocks as it is still expensive unless the intention is to swing trade based on news surrounding tariffs and rate cuts. Generally I don’t really like European markets as performance not as stellar as the US and market size can’t rival the US or China or India. I am still bullish on the HK markets as the Chinese still has a lot of room to accelerate spending and this room will be even greater with rate cuts by the US. The momentum is still strong for Hong Kong stocks and as the earnings seasons unfold, I do expect more of the tech stocks to deliver which will give further room for the stocks to climb upwards. However, better to be safe than to be greedy. I will be keeping an eye to exit my positions. Trump will be the deal breaker for many markets, will be looking at my

I would never buy Tesla even with the dip. It is too unpredictable with Elon. Furthermore the industry is too saturated with many good Chinese EV companies like BVD. These companies are more reliable and well supported by the Chinese governments. In addition, with trump’s tariffs, Tesla’s market beyond the US can be restricted if the Chinese government retaliate with tariffs or halt the elon’s factories in China. The Chinese consumer market is also bigger than the US. While i am positive about nvidia’s longer term outlook, I normally prefer to buy ETFs as it is less volatile and requires less work on my part to study it well. China has also proven its technical capabilities with deepseek. I believe we will see chips that rival Nvidia in the near future. So, ETFs like IGV and SMH will be m
