Looks like property prices has reached a boiling point, retracing a little. In turn causing a snowball effect on rental prices as well.  With Fed actively cutting rates, and seem like it will continue, this will put further pressure on the housing market to retrace to an affordable range for mid-income individuals.  With that, a suggestion to place a close eye on REIT related stocks such as O (Realty Income) as there might be a good entry opportunity. It has a good dividend rate return and has been consistent paying out for years. Good paypout ratio too, so it doesnt put pressure on the business. =) @madluvyz - Specialist in using TA to sell options and

Today, let's exploring themes for 2025.It should be noted that alpha selection will become increasingly important in 2025, with significant differences expected between sectors and companies.As investors, we should consider which themes or sectors should include and important considerations :There’s no need to hedge against a hard landing, as this risk is already addressed at the allocation level by reducing delta.The chosen sector should have strong fundamentals, includIing healthy revenue growth, profitability, and cash flow, and it should not be a sunset industry. This ensures that even if the market experiences a significant pullback, the sector has recovery potential, avoiding forced losses during downturns.Industries driven primarily by long-term expectations—like quantum computing o

I'm most optimistic about $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   and $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  stocks in 2025. 2025 promises to be an exciting year for the technology and automotive sectors, with NVIDIA and Tesla leading the charge in innovation and growth. Both companies have positioned themselves at the forefront of their respective industries, and their strategic initiatives make them compelling investment opportunities for the coming year. NVIDIA (NVDA): Pioneering the AI Revolution NVIDIA's role as a leader in the AI and semiconductor industries is unmatched.

Quick Summary. Last Wed, 04 Dec 2024’s tech rally pushed the major indexes to new highs. (see below) Friday’s latest US Non-farm payroll economic data did little to shake investors’ confidence that the Fed will cut interest rates at its final meeting of 2024. In the first week of December: (see above) DJIA: fell -0.63% (-283.34 to 44,642.45). It was the lone index in the red. S&P 500: rose +0.83% (+50.16 to 6,090.27). Nasdaq: rose +3.14% (+604.35 to 19,859.77). Non Farm Payroll - November. Jobs payroll roared to 227,000 jobs from revised October’s paltry 36,000 jobs. This is 25,000 more than Wall Street expectations. Job gains centred around the following sectors: Health care (54,000), Leisure & hospitality (53,000), and Government (33,000). Based on past three months’ average of 1

$Altria(MO)$ is currently trading at $57.38 per share. This stock is favored by dividend investors due to its significant 7.12% dividend yield. Earlier this year, it was considered a buy at $40, meaning it has gained about 37% year-to-date. Altria is facing a period of stagnation in terms of price movement, with its stock being highly influenced by external factors like government regulations and market shifts. While the company's dividend yield remains strong, its stock's technical setup suggests a more cautious approach, with limited growth in the short term. Watch for potential signs of a trend reversal or breakout, especially if the company continues to make progress in its shift to non-combustible products and adapts to market challenges. Earni

As the year 2024 draws to a close, the global financial market has faced significant challenges and considerable development. At this time of year-end review, I hope to reflect on last year's predictions and provide a framework for global investment in 2025 for discussion and criticism.I remember that more than twenty years ago, when I graduated from the University of Lausanne with a Ph.D. and joined Morgan Stanley on Wall Street, I would learn from the Chief US Economist, Byron Wien, about his top ten global economic predictions for the following year. The intellectual sparring between him and the then Chief Economist, Steven Roach, on macroeconomic issues was immensely beneficial to us.In recent years, major institutions in the United States have been promoting young people, including ma

$Occidental(OXY)$ As an investor in Occidental Petroleum (OXY), I have chosen to maintain my position in the company despite the recent volatility in its stock price. Below, I outline the reasons why I am not selling my shares and believe that holding on to OXY is the right decision in the current market environment: 1. OXY Appears Oversold One of the primary reasons I am not selling my Occidental shares is that I believe the stock is oversold. An oversold condition typically suggests that the market has overreacted to short-term news or sentiment, pushing the stock price below its intrinsic value. This creates an opportunity for long-term investors to purchase at a discount. While market fluctuations are a normal part of investing, the fundamental

Q3 U.S. stock market status(i) Valuation1. OverallCurrently, U.S. stock valuations are at high levels, with $.SPX(.SPX)$ index valued at the 94% historical quartile (Shiller PE) since 1990. According to $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ Group strategists, despite the rise in U.S. stock valuations across the board, historically high valuations alone have not been enough of a cause for immediate concern, and higher valuations are usually benign if the subsequent economic growth environment is healthy.Stock valuations will continue to be a concern. The U.S. tech "Mag 7" have created their own asset class, resulting in distorted valuation metrics, but the actual valuation of U.S. equities is still reasonable, and in addition

Gold Market Outlook: 2025 Pause or Prelude to Greater Gains? Gold prices reached an all-time high of $2788.5 per ounce on October 30, 2024. However, gold has been sold off since the US elections. The uncertainty of Trump's policies in his second term has made the path of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions unclear for next year. Gold is likely to face numerous headwinds in 2025 1. In 2025, geopolitical conflicts may tend to ease. Parties involved in both the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Lebanon conflict have shown intentions to negotiate. With the easing of geopolitical tensions, risk assets, including US stocks, generally rose, reducing the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset. 2. Chinese demand for gold weakens. Gold purchases in China, which had driven the rally in t
