Have U heard of PayPal ,as a digital wallet, PayPal also faces intense competition from Apple Pay and Google Pay. These two platforms have significant advantages in hardware and operating systems, boasting massive user bases and easily integrating their digital wallets into their existing ecosystems. The development of NFC technology was also a boon for both Apple and Google, enhancing their convenience for in-person payments. Personally, I regularly use Apple Pay because it’s so convenient, whereas I haven't used PayPal for years. One reason for this decline is external and beyond PayPal’s control. During the pandemic, when people were confined to their homes, online transactions surged, and PayPal thrived. This period also saw a spike in interest in fintech, and as a major player in the

$DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$   This stock pulled back for the past few days.  I decided to accumulate more with my spare cash.   In fact, I started accumulating this stock since more than 20 years ago @$18+.  I also likewise accumulated shares for the other 2 Singapore banks.  I stopped accumulation about 10 years ago and practically leave the stocks self run.   The dividends collected so far amounting to more than the original investment amount.  Meanwhile, the stock value stands at 3 times of the original investment value.    The nest egg has grown considerable size, definitely beats the inflation rate.  I call this, 'the golden goose that lays gold

Disney share price down since start of the year Disney's stock was down 9.5% following the release of its quarterly results. The most obvious issue that stood out was Disney's losses, which reversed the profits from the previous quarter. It's apparent that the acquisition has not yielded the expected results, and Disney has struggled to leverage it effectively in enhancing its business. This suggests that the goodwill is likely to be further impaired in the future, potentially leading to more losses for Disney. Additionally, a portion of the goodwill is tied to the cable TV sector, which is on the decline. These assets are also likely to be impaired. Turning this situation around is no easy task, as you can see. There's considerable baggage to shed. Even though Disney+ has performed well a

**Investing in SPY500 and QQQ ETFs: A Historical Performance Review** Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) like the SPY500 and QQQ have become popular investment vehicles for those looking to gain exposure to a broad market index or a specific sector. The SPY500 ETF, which tracks the S&P 500 index, and the QQQ ETF, which mirrors the NASDAQ-100 index, are two of the most widely recognized ETFs in the market. Let's delve into their historical performance and compare them with the returns typically achieved by options traders. **SPY500 ETF (SPY) Historical Performance** The SPY500 ETF, also known as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), has shown a robust performance over the years. As of May 2024, the SPY has delivered a **1-Year Return of 24.69%** and a **3-Year Return of 8.13%**. Looking at th

I'm kinda all in at the mo, so no spare cash to buy much at all sadly. I am single so maybe I could sell my body on the street to raise a few dollars, but being a male in my early 50s, I don't rate my chances. But if I did have some spare cash, I'd be buying more of the businesses I already invest in that have dipped. Why? Because I understand them. For example $Arbor(ABR)$ has dipped, it's a property investment business, so the higher interest rate environment is impacting its price, but it's maintaining a great dividend yield of over 10%, and has a growing dividend. And interest rates will come down eventually. Buying the dip is an interesting concept to me because many of my stocks haven't actually dipped. I tend to use a counter cyclical approa

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$   Shocking stat of the day: On Friday, Nvidia, $NVDA, fell by 10% and posted its biggest daily decline since March 2020. Nvidia erased ~$212 billion in market cap which marked the SECOND worst daily loss in history. Only Meta, $META, has seen a larger daily decline when its market cap plunged by $232 billion in February 2022. Meanwhile, the Magnificent 7 broke below their 50-day moving average for the first time since October 2023. This week, four Magnificent 7 companies will report earnings: Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Tesla. Buckle up.

50 Day MA: $MSFT - ❌ lost $NVDA - ❌ lost $AMZN - ❌ lost $META - ❌ lost $SPY - ❌ lost $QQQ - ❌ lost $LLY - ❌ lost $NFLX - ❌ lost $COST - ❌ lost $DIS - ❌ lost $TSLA - ❌ lost $GOOG - ✅ $GOOG has a very large target on its back right now.

well ..buy at the Valley of the dip is pure luck....a pro watch for trending signal..

Keep auto investing during dips. it makes sense ya

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ For me, I do dollar-cost averaging on a monthly basis and buy over the next one year

Yes, me always like that, thought the dip , end up more dip n dip coming 😢

be nimble in everything, learn more from different analysts about the macroeconomic situation, never trust what the analysts says fully. Form your educated opinion, plan to lose before dreaming of win. Risk management is the emperor god

I think i would use the EMA, MACD, RSI, Stocastic to check the trend before to see if i am at the dip to get into the market. I agreed sometimes might be hard to be at the dip but at least would not be at a high price.

Don't just buy the dip blindly. Make sure it's a good company n good stock in the first place, and it will still be a great company in 10 years. Next is to find out the intrinsic value of the company. Don't buy when it's overvalued. Buy only when it's cheaper than its intrinsic value. Next is to time your buys. Look for areas of support to buy cos that's where the stock might bottom and rebound. If it's a great company like Apple, Nvidia, it will surely rebound in the future. Just look at those who bought Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft during the bear market in 2022.
