US-China Dialogue: Is a Spring Coming for China Stocks?

On December 16th, former President Donald Trump spoke about the potential for US-China cooperation during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. He stated, "China and the US can solve all the world's problems together. Think about it; it's important," emphasizing the significance of collaboration between the two global powers. Market Reaction: Following these remarks, both Hong Kong and Chinese stocks experienced modest gains. The response reflected optimism among some market participants about the possibility of improved US-China relations, which historically have had a significant influence on the performance of Chinese equities. However, the gains were relatively limited, underscoring a cautious attitude among investors. My Perspective: Despite the positive tone of these statement

Which Entertainment App Can I Not Give Up?

I honestly don’t think there’s any entertainment app I could never give up, and that’s because, at the moment, I don’t really use many entertainment apps. Even when I do use them, the frequency is quite low. This might be because I’m often busy creating posts on Tiger Brokers to earn Tiger Coins (yes, I’m being productive, haha!). That said, there are a few entertainment apps I find interesting and may potentially engage with more in the future, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Disney+. These platforms offer a wide range of content, from movies and TV shows to educational videos and tutorials, which could be a great way to unwind after a busy day. However, even with these apps, I still don’t think I could say that I "cannot" give them up. They’re not a necessity for me. He

Market Plunges on Fed Stance: Buy the Dip or Sell the Top?

Market Plunges on Fed Stance: Buy the Dip or Sell the Top? The financial markets faced a sharp decline yesterday after the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut while signaling only two rate cuts in 2025. This revelation, seen as less dovish than many anticipated, unsettled investors and triggered a significant selloff. As the S&P 500 and other major indices dipped, the pressing question remains: should investors buy the dip, or is it wiser to sell into any rebounds? Market Sentiment and Reaction The immediate market reaction underscores the sensitivity of investors to Fed policy changes. However, it's worth noting that markets often take time to fully digest the implications of such announcements. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which tracks the performance of the

Tesla Pullback: Examining the Drop in TSLA Stock

Tesla Motors (TSLA) closed at $440.13, marking an 8.28% drop compared to the previous day. This notable decline may be attributed to external macroeconomic factors, specifically the Federal Reserve's recent release of a hawkish stance on 2025 rate cuts. While this has no direct connection to Tesla's internal operations or financial performance, the broader economic implications could indirectly affect the company's valuation. Tesla Motors (TSLA) What Does a Hawkish Stance Mean? The Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook suggests lower expectations for rate cuts in 2025 and the potential for tighter monetary policies for a longer period. With current interest rates already at elevated levels, investors may find other assets, such as fixed-income securities or dividend-yielding stocks, more attra

Bitcoin: Potential Future Trends and Considerations

Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency, has consistently attracted attention due to its volatile nature and potential for substantial price growth. Predicting its future trajectory is challenging, but a range of factors could influence Bitcoin's price in 2025 and beyond. Optimistic Scenario: Bitcoin Reaching $120k–$130k by 2025 There is a case for Bitcoin reaching unprecedented heights, such as $120,000–$130,000, particularly in a scenario where political and economic conditions favor cryptocurrencies. For instance, when Donald Trump returns to the presidency in 2025, optimism about his potential stance on cryptocurrencies could drive the market. Trump’s administration, or any favorable U.S. government policy, could stimulate increased institutional adoption and broader acceptance of

10 Stocks on My Watchlist Today: Focusing on Potential Rebounds

As I prepare for the U.S. markets to open later today, I'm closely monitoring 10 stocks on my watchlist. The stocks are ranked by percentage decline, starting with the most decreased yesterday. My focus primarily lies on stocks with sharp declines because they often present opportunities for a rebound. However, I'll take into consideration why the stock fell before making any decisions. My Trading Philosophy Focus on Oversold Stocks: When stocks fall dramatically, they can sometimes become oversold, presenting opportunities for a potential recovery. Investigate the Cause: I look for the reason behind the drop. If it's market panic or an overreaction without valid fundamentals, it might be a buying opportunity. Avoid Weak Fundamentals: If the stock decline stems from company-specific issues

SMCI Drops After NDX Removal: Can It Recover?

Super Micro Computer Inc. (SMCI) experienced a significant drop in its stock price yesterday, closing at $33.44, marking an 8.26% decline from the previous day's close. This sharp movement came in the wake of the company's removal from the NASDAQ-100 (NDX) index. Despite this setback, the stock remains within its 52-week trading range of $17.25 (low) to $122.90 (high). Yesterday's trading activity saw the stock fluctuate between $31.20 and $35.38. While SMCI's recent performance has raised concerns, its future direction remains unpredictable due to several factors: Reasons Behind Recent Volatility NDX Removal Impact: Removal from a major index like the NASDAQ-100 often leads to sell-offs as index-tracking funds liquidate their holdings in the stock.

25 bps is Certain? How Will the Rate Cut Dot Plot Shape 2025?

The Case for 25 bps: Probable, But Not Guaranteed A 25 basis point rate cut seems highly probable, but it is far from guaranteed. The U.S. economy has displayed resilience, underpinned by strong consumer spending, a strong labor market, and easing inflation. While inflation appears more controlled, the fear of its resurgence remains a critical concern for the Federal Reserve. Policymakers may take a cautious approach to ensure inflation does not reignite, especially if wage growth or global commodity prices rise unexpectedly. This uncertainty underscores the fact that a 25 bps cut is not a done deal. The Fed’s decisions will remain highly data-driven, sensitive to any new developments that could alter the inflation or growth outlook. S&P 500's Bullish Streak: How Rate Cuts May or May N

LION-PHILLIP S-REIT (CLR.SI) – A Closer Look at Potential and Risks

$LION-PHILLIP S-REIT(CLR.SI)$ I've been closely monitoring the performance of the LION-PHILLIP S-REIT (CLR.SI) recently. This exchange-traded fund (ETF) is traded in Singapore dollars (SGD) and closed at $0.8010 today, representing a 0.37% decline from last Friday's close. Over the past year, the ETF has seen a 52-week low of $0.7471 and a 52-week high of $0.9130. Given its current price, it will be added to my consideration list for potential purchase if it experiences further declines. This ETF consists of a basket of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), making it inherently safer than investing in individual REITs. This diversification helps mitigate the risks associated with any single asset in the portfolio. This is one of the key reasons

High Dividend Yield: My Journey with Ready Capital Corp (RC)

I’m a bagholder of Ready Capital Corp (RC). But you know what? Sometimes being a bagholder of a high-dividend stock isn’t the worst thing in the world. If I weren’t a bagholder, I probably would have sold it earlier. I don’t sell stocks at unrealized losses—that’s just not my style. So, I’ve decided to keep it. I bought RC at $8 per share, and on Friday, it closed at $7.45. That’s a drop, sure, but RC just announced its quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, payable on January 31 to shareholders of record on December 31. Historically, this stock pays dividends four times a year, with ex-dividend dates in March, June, September, and December. Here’s why, despite the drop, I’m still holding on and even seeing some positives in this situation. 1. The High Yield Makes Up for the Drop Let’s do

I tend to take profits based on intuition, selling when I feel the timing is right—usually after a substantial increase in stock prices. My approach is to only sell stocks that have already generated a profit; I avoid selling at an unrealized loss, as I prefer to wait for potential recovery. This strategy allows me to lock in gains while minimizing the risk of crystallizing losses unnecessarily. Currently, I have no plans to sell my holdings in the TLT and TLH ETFs. These long-term Treasury bond ETFs show potential for price appreciation, particularly given my expectation of future interest rate cuts. As rates decline, bond prices typically rise, which could result in favorable returns for these investments. My strategy is to hold onto these positions to capitalize on this anticipated ma

When people talk about the companies they can’t live without, they often think of the essentials: their internet provider, the grocery store they visit every week, or maybe their favorite streaming service. But for me, it’s not just about necessities—it’s about the things that bring joy and excitement to my life. Take trading and investing, for example. For some, it might just be a “want” or even a chore. But for me, it’s a hobby—one that I genuinely enjoy, even when my portfolio isn’t performing its best. There’s something about analyzing stocks, making decisions, and watching how everything unfolds that makes it so fun.
