Warren Buffett recently called the current stock market sell-off “nothing “ compared with previous crashes he has navigated. He also noted that markets are now only about 5% to 6% cheaper the recent highs. He has decided to sit tight on Berkshire Hathaway’s $373 billion pile of cash and Treasury bills. In fact, Berkshire Hathaway has just bought another $17 billion in T-bills at auction. He advised that he will only buy “if there is a big decline.” I would like to be as patient as Buffett, waiting for prices low enough to justify long-term investing. With the uncertainties brought by the Iran and apparent inflation, stock market will undoubtedly be beaten going ahead. Thanks @Tiger_comments
Q1 2026 saw the U.S. stock market posted a loss because of the uncertainty driven by the Iran war, the unclear future of software stocks, and inflation. Luckily for Tiger friends and me that are long-term investors, our stocks took a beating but are still standing. We will stay invested looking forward to April. History has proven the stock market always recovered with higher returns. The Big Tech stocks are beginning to recover meteorically. Multiple short-term positive factors such as the ease in Iran war is giving the market a breather. Now is not yet the time to blindly go all in. I believe in strictly control positions, anchor to fundamentals, and respond flexibly according to different scenarios. The fun bit: We might see the world’s first trillionaire soon in 2026. Thanks
[OMG] The “World Bear Day” today turns out to be really scary. While the world of bears is in peril, the global stock markets are also in ‘beary’ scary mode. Traders are all feeling bearish today. My holding of tech stocks and Reits are beaten hard. Most investors would hold on to their portfolio now and hope the Middle East crisis could be eased in a short term. Still holding on to $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$ as history proves these two always significantly outperform many other asset classes. Be brave when everyone else is fearful of the bear. Keep some cash to buy the dip. Let’s take on the bear!🐻 Thanks @TigerEvents @TigerStars
Nasdaq is in technical correction and the Big tech firms’s share prices have dropped more than 10%. With the Middle East conflict getting worse, rising energy and food costs reignite inflation concerns. The stock market may face more pain in the coming week. The “buy the dip” sentiment has now given way to “sell the rally”, which seems to be the more effective strategy at the moment. From the fundamental perspective, investors will flock back to the stock market once U.S. and Iran can effectively ink a peace deal. From the technical perspective, the Previous rally highs are the key support levels. 6300 and 6100 are the supports for $S&P 500(.SPX)$. We should stay confident over the long term and re-enter to buy the dip for fundamentally strong
Gold is historically proven as an effective hedge against inflation and geopolitical shocks. Investors never fail to attract investors with its global liquidity and its independence from any single government and currency. It is used to diversify investment portfolio. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG
It is good to take note of $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$ ARK Invest has just significantly reduced their investments in the Big Tech firms and others to accumulate cash. This is a sound move amid uncertainties from the geopolitical risk. ARK is repositioning itself for more investments in disruptive innovations. Thanks @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @Tiger_comments
Risk vs. Reward is the reason we create a portfolio of personal investments. It is a collection of stocks, funds, bonds, assets and cash. Our money in CPF is as good as cash free of risk, but with only 2.5% annual interest earned. To combat rising inflation and prevent from losing value over time, money needs to be invested in alternatives for higher returns. One such alternative is stocks. $DBS(D05.SI)$ is the best here with solid balance sheets, resilient business model and disciplined capital management. $CapLand Ascendas REIT(A17U.SI)$$Mapletree Log Tr(M44U.SI)$ and $Frasers Cpt Tr(J69U.SI)$ are reits with
No Stop-Loss is the situation many Tigers are in now. Singapore stocks tumbled as the Middle East conflict drove oil prices higher, causing a sharp sell-off across all stocks. Strategic Inactivity, staying flat might be a good position to take now. Strictly follow the rule of No Signal = No Order. The Iran war is unlikely to have prolonged impact on Singapore stock market and there could be opportunities to buy stocks with good fundamentals that are trading at discounts. I am bullish with $DBS(D05.SI)$$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$$SIA(C6L.SI)$ Thanks @Tiger_SG
Donald Trump has just announced to pause any attack on Iran for a further 10 days. This could be a pivotal moment from r chance to buy the dip. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
$SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$,$Western Digital(WDC)$ and other stocks have recovered today. Meanwhile $Alphabet(GOOG)$’s stock has continued to dive further -1.35% today, This shows that Google research’s new compression method that reduce the amount of memory required to run large language models by six times is not market shaker. The previous days’ sell-off of the other AI stocks was likely profit-taking and Google's research could actually lead to more advanced AI which will eventually need more memory chips. Do buy the dip with due diligence. Good luck!🍀 Thanks @Tiger_comments
The game of TACO is getting more complex and unpredictable. Iran has just ‘rubbished’ Trump’s peace talk claims and opened fire at the U.S. aircraft carriers. There is very high chance Trump will strike on Iran before the 5days wait. All the unresolved downside risks across all asset classes necessitate a defensive stance and readiness to exit as the volatile "April Trend" persists. Thanks for the invite buddy @1PC @TigerClub @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @icycrystal
Musk is certainly a doer. Positive response to TSLA stock shows that markets believe he can deliver. Retail investors would can hold ETFs like QQQ to participate in becoming SpaceX shareholders. @icycrystal @TigerStars @Tiger_SG
Is the current crash in gold price is just an overreaction? Central banks in oil importing nations currently view managing the oil price shock as higher priority than accumulating gold reserves. While gold is a hard asset, in an extreme liquidity crisis, it is also the most liquid asset to monetize (convert to cash) to pay for energy. As gold was in a state of extreme "overbought" euphoria during February, its price correction is imminent. As long as the DXY stays above 100 and the Fed remains hawkish, the valuation correction for gold is far from over. Gold price will continue to struggle as official reserves accumulation is not the central banks’ priority right now. Thanks @Tiger_comments
$PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ had the highest estimated EPS on the list above. High EPS indicates high profitability. Even better if PDD’s earnings results bear the estimates. The market always rewards those companies with earnings results that beat the estimates.

❤️Love is my biggest trading weakness❤️I tend to form emotional attachment and forget to cut my loser stocks while they “will not love me back". We Should Not "Love" Our Stocks For 4 reasons. Emotional Decision Making: Falling in love causes us to hold on to loser stocks for too long and incur significant losses. Neglecting Fundamentals: Emotional attachment to a company's "story" or CEO can prevent us from recognizing that the stock's price has exceeded its intrinsic value. Ignoring Portfolio Diversification: Investors who love a particular stock often fall into the trap of overconcentrating their portfolio in that single, beloved company. Refusal to Sell Losers: Emotional investors often refuse to sell losing stocks, treating them like "pet" stocks rather than realizing that an inves
Both $TENCENT(00700)$ and $BABA-W(09988)$ shares tumble following their latest earnings releases mostly due to the adverse investment climate because of geopolitical reasons. The AI business momentum is accelerating with no fundamental reversal in sight. Buy the dips of these two giants as their downsides maybe limited. Do research and invest carefully and do each trade with due diligence. Good luck to all Tiger friends. Thanks @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @Tiger_comments @icycrystal @1PC
$WTI Crude Oil - main 2605(CLmain)$ shows suppressed volatility. If oil stays above $90 for a sustained period, a 10-15% correction in the $S&P 500(SPY)$ becomes the base case. If it hits $120+, the selloff accelerates as the "Wealth Effect" reverses. Gold is not as attractive this time because of Trump’s market intervention. With the Fed staying "higher for longer," real yields get pushed up and temporarily choking gold's momentum. See if the oil reserves exhausted soon, the market will face a physical supply wall. If the strategic release ends before the U.S. and Iran set on ceasefire, then betting on oil is better than gold. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
S&P 500 has broken the 6580 support and is testing 6500 now with all the bad news. In the meantime, the Fear & Greed Index for the U.S. is in “Extreme Fear”. As energy prices surge, and no end in sight to the Iran conflict, the global stock markets are crumbling. Historically, extreme retail pessimism can be a contrarian "buy" signal. Buy the Dip selectivity. Be cautious. Do each trade with due diligence. Good luck to all Tiger friends. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG @DailyTradingInsights @Daily_D
Clear signal from the market today -> Stocks are under pressure as tensions in the MiddEast continues to escalate and inflation rises again. Dow falls 430 points and S&P 500 and Nasdaq all trade lower. $CSOP SK Hynix Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07709)$ caught my eyes with an edge over the others. Leverage products is best for benefiting from the momentum of a stock while trying to beat the macro investment environment. Thanks @Daily_Discussion @icycrystal
