$SingPost(S08.SI)$ will likely be pleased to see a 35% rise in the share price over the past quarter. However, this recent improvement doesn't erase the disappointing returns over the last five years. During that period, the share price has fallen by 37%, significantly underperforming the broader market. While the past week's performance may offer some reassurance, long-term investors remain in the red. I mean very super RED, the stock had dropped for 10+ years….

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ Today, we're diving into AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), a growth-oriented company where speculation, forecasts, and narratives often drive its stock price, rather than the raw numbers and balance sheet. For full transparency, I don’t own any shares of AMD, so this analysis is unbiased. Let’s jump in! Currently, AMD's stock is down over 80% year-to-date. In comparison, the S&P 500 is up 28% for the same period, so AMD is struggling a lot, although they’ve had stronger performance in the past.

Since then, REITs have underperformed while the broader market has rallied. Specific REITs, such as Realty Income, have continued to face selling pressure, and this trend does not appear coincidental. Over recent years, REIT performance has been closely tied to i

Today, we're focusing on the escalating energy crisis that threatens both Europe and the United States as major commodity consumers and producers. This is largely fueled by the G7 disruptive moves against China-Russia, starting with China's significant withdrawal from U.S. energy imports. For years, China was a major buyer of U.S. crude oil. In 2023, they imported a staggering 450,000 barrels daily—more than double their 2022 volumes—becoming

The stock had drop for continues 9 strait year!!! How come still have people buying this stock. The stock's 52-week low is $6.52, indicating that while it has approached this low recently, it has not yet reached a new all-time low. The decline in GNL's stock price can be attributed to several factors, including high leverage and under performance relative to its peers. Additionally, the company has been undergoing a deleveraging strategy, involving asset dispositions to reduce debt, which has influenced investor sentiment and stock performance.

A Cost-Effective Approach to US Economic Exposure Large-cap US companies often operate on a global scale, making their revenues more sensitive to the global economic environment. In contrast, small- and mid-cap companies are generally more focused on domestic markets, providing investors with more direct exposure to US economic performance. Given the current high valuations of large-cap stocks, small- and mid-cap stocks present a more cost-effective alternative for investors seeking to benefit from the robust US economy. As illustrated in Figure 1, the price gap between small and large caps highlights that gaining or increasing exposure to US economic strength does not have to come with a high price tag. Key Trends Favoring Small- and Mid-Cap Stocks While small- and mid-cap stocks have tra

$Global Net Lease(GNL)$ $Agree(ADC)$ In today's article, I'll discuss the darker side of the Real Estate Investment Trust sector and highlight two REIT comparison and what REITs that you should avoid at all costs. Internally or Externally managed REITs The REITs to avoid is externally managed REITs. It's important to understand that REITs can be either internally or externally managed, and while this may seem like a small detail, it's actually a big deal. Internally managed REITs have dedicated management teams that work directly for the REIT, with their compensation often tied to performance metrics such as growth and returns. This creates better alignment between management and shareholders, as well as ec

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ When it comes to stock trading, the debate between money and passion is a common one. Both are important, but they serve different purposes in a trader's journey. Money is often the primary motivator for many traders. The potential for profit is what draws people to the stock market in the first place. After all, trading is about generating wealth, and without the desire for financial gain, there's little incentive to take on the risks involved. However, focusing solely on money can lead to emotional decision-making, impulsive trades, and ultimately, losses. Passion, on the other hand, can be a more sustainable driver. A passion for learning about markets, understanding the intricacies of different stocks, or developing stra

$Mapletree Log Tr(M44U.SI)$ Merry Xmas investors! Today we are going to discuss Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT)—and for good reason. MLT is a compelling REIT, benefiting from the booming logistics sector and driven by a proactive management team that continuously recycles capital into higher-quality assets. Despite its growth focus, MLT has maintained an attractive dividend yield, making it appealing to income-oriented investors. However, I’m never overly attached to any REIT. My approach is to evaluate continuously and exit those that no longer align with my long-term goals. Recently, I noticed signs of potential risks spreading within MLT’s portfolio, which got my attention. While the ongoing challenges in China were expected, Hong Kong now a

$Nike(NKE)$ Today is my update on Nike stock, so let’s dive into it. The stock has been a significant disappointment, experiencing a consistent downtrend since its peak around $170–$175 per share in 2021. As shown in the chart, this decline has been relentless.

$Ryanair Holdings PLC(RYAAY)$ I generally don't like investing in airlines because the industry is highly competitive, and there are limited opportunities for new entries. When things go wrong, airline stocks tend to crash. However, there's one company that has somewhat defied this trend. Ryanair, like other airlines, took a hit in 2020, but since then, its stock has more than doubled. While other companies emerged from the pandemic with heavy debt and significant issues, Ryanair has managed to recover successfully. Let's dive into Ryanair’s story and see if it’s worth considering. Ryanair operates all across Europe, but its model stands out. It's a low-cost airline, and unlike other carriers that fly directly to major airports, Ryanair typically

Today, we’ll analyze Petrobras, the largest oil and gas company in Brazil, using our seven-step process to answer these questions. Let’s dive in. Overview of Petrobras Petrobras is primarily government-controlled, with the Brazilian government holding the majority of voting rights.

$Energy Transfer LP(ET)$ Energy Transfer (ET) is a company in the energy sector that has experienced significant growth over the past five years, recovering from a sharp decline in 2020. Since then, its stock price has surged by more than 200%. One of the key factors contributing to its success is its location in the USA, which shields the company from geopolitical issues, such as conflicts in the East, that affect other global companies. Although Energy Transfer focuses primarily on natural gas, rather than the growing trend of green energy, there will always be demand for natural gas in the coming decades, which provides a stable outlook for the company. Earning Overview Net Income: The company reported a net income attributable to partners of $1.

$NextEra(NEE)$ NextEra Energy is one of the top green energy stocks on the market for several reasons. It has a sizable $144 billion market cap, which is rare among green energy companies, most of which are smaller and not yet profitable. NextEra is profitable, has a reasonable PE ratio, and is a reliable dividend payer with a solid track record of growth. Since early 2015, the stock has grown by 250-300%, not including dividend payments. NextEra Energy is a unique utility stock, differing from the typical high-dividend, low-appreciation utility model. While its dividend is relatively modest at 2.5%, it has shown decent stock price appreciation historically. However, the stock has been stagnant for about three years, prompting speculation about whe
