Do You Lose More Money in Bull or Bear Market?

Initially, entering the stock market is all about making money. But after a week, you may realize that it is only about losing money. People say you can make money in a bull market. But in reality, if you chase highs and buy at high prices, you still end up losing money. A bear market only amplifies losses; every trade accelerates the loss of money.

What is the risk of second inflation?

The market is more sensitive to Fed’s rate cut estimate. Whether a second wave of inflation in the US is moderate, has become a new topic of analysis.The next one to two pieces of inflation data are crucial in determining the pace of rate cuts for the year, as current rate cuts are not a response to economic deteriorationInflation OutlookCore CPI is expected to remain elevated around 3.5% in Q3 2024, before a slight uptick to 3.6% by year-end due to base effects.Leading indicators like rents and wage growth are showing signs of moderation, which should help cool inflation in the coming months.Financial ConditionsTightener financial conditions, driven by higher interest rates and tightening credit spreads, are suppressing demand and inflationary pressures.However, there is a risk of a feedb

Win or Lose in Bull/Bear Market The stock market can be a great way to grow your wealth over time, but it is also a risky place to invest. One of the biggest mistakes that investors make is to act impulsively and emotionally, rather than following a disciplined investment plan. This can lead to them making poor decisions, such as selling stocks during a bear market or buying stocks at the peak of a bull market. Why Discipline is Key There are several reasons why discipline is so important in the stock market: * It helps you stay focused on your long-term goals. When you have a clear investment plan, you are less likely to be swayed by short-term market fluctuations. * It prevents you from making emotional decisions. Fear and greed are two of the biggest enemies of investors. When you are s

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ You only loose money if you realise paper losses. Sometimes ive got it wrong with an investment and i do decide to realize the loss like with $Pfizer(PFE)$ recently. Just decided i had way better investment options and pfizer was just sitting round doing nothing. Used the funds to buy more $NextEra Energy Partners LP(NEP)$  and $Main Street Capital(MAIN)$ and $Hess LP(HESM)$ and i have zero regrets

For someone who doesn't deal with options or shorts, I lost more money in a bear market [Cry] however, a healthy cycle of bull and bear markets is great for people who optimise the cycle and buy low, sell high - $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ $Alibaba(BABA)$

Whether it is bull or bear, strategy and tactic must be right first. Investment can be done whether it is bull or bear now. Firstly, pick the “right” industry/industries or sector(s)of the business then select the “best” stock(s). Study the performance (P/L, cash flow, debt, revenue) n potential of these companies (“moat”) and also their valuation vis-a-vis the current stock price. Then decide what is the “right” price ranges to invest in. It does not if it is bull or bear market now. It is not easy to find what was said above but if can find one or two stock(s) then they are gems. Over time and a fee of rhese exercise, there will quite a handful of stocks to invest. We don’t need many - conservatively 5 to 10 stocks would be good enough over 2 to 3 years period.

For intraday trading, bull market is unpredictable while bearish market is more predictable. Bull = High risk = high payout. Bear = low to medium risk = low payout.

In the rollercoaster ride of the stock market, the question of whether you lose more money in a bull or bear market is one that can keep investors up at night. As someone who's weathered both types of markets, I've learned a thing or two about the ups and downs of investing. During a bull market, when stock prices are rising, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement and euphoria. It feels like every investment is a winner, and it's tempting to throw caution to the wind and jump on the bandwagon. But here's the catch: when everyone is buying, prices can become inflated, and it's all too easy to overpay for stocks. So, while it may seem like smooth sailing, the reality is that the risk of losing money is still very real. On the flip side, bear markets, where stock prices are falling, can

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  Why is long term investing so hard for many to do? 1. When there is a 50-61% retracement, this is difficult for any investor to handle, even professionals struggle with this, it is difficult to see beyond the decline and see it as an opportunity 2. It does not trigger our dopamine responses the same way short term gains can give us quick hit 3. It’s slow, boring and the opposite of the life the Wolf of Wall Street promised 4. People struggle to see beyond a 3 month date range, humans are natural short term thinkers. 5. People see the lives of some on social media and they want that immediately, you will never see the sweat and sacrifice that it takes to get to that stage first.

Investment Reflection: GOLD Vertical Put Option Strategy

On May 9, 2024, I opened a contract of a GOLD vertical put option with a maturity date of June 21, 2024. The strategy involved selling a put option at a strike price of USD17 and simultaneously buying a put option at a strike price of USD16. This spread strategy allowed me to collect an option premium of USD39. Rationale for the Strategy: The decision to engage in a vertical put spread strategy was driven by my outlook on the GOLD stock prices. This type of option investment can be beneficial when anticipating a moderately bearish to neutral view on GOLD stock prices. By selling the higher strike put and buying the lower strike put, I positioned myself to capitalize on a potential decline in GOLD stock prices, while limiting downside risk. Risk and Reward Analysis: - Premium Collect

Investment Reflection on GOLD Cash Secured Put Option

On May 8, 2024, I executed a cash secured put option trade involving 2 contracts of GOLD with a strike price of USD16.50 and a maturity date of May 24, 2024. The option premium collected was USD0.32 per contract, resulting in an immediate income of USD64. This trade was positioned to capitalize on potential short-term price stability or a slight decrease in the price of GOLD while generating income. The market conditions the following day presented an opportunity to close the position early. On May 9, 2024, I decided to buy back the options for USD0.15 per contract, locking in gains and closing the position. This decision was motivated by the swift decrease in the option premium, presenting a chance to secure profits. Performance Review - **Option Premium Collected**: USD0.32 per c

It depends on your position and strategy. In a bear market, many investments decrease in value, potentially causing losses. Conversely, in a bull market, investments generally increase, but there's still risk of loss if you make poor decisions or fail to capitalize on opportunities. So, it's not as straightforward as losing more in one market over the other. In both bull and bear markets, there are various strategies available to mitigate losses or even profit. In a bear market, investors can employ techniques like short selling, where they borrow shares of a stock and sell them with the anticipation of buying them back at a lower price, thus profiting from the difference. This allows investors to capitalize on declining markets by betting against certain stocks or indices. Conversely, in
