2023 Annual Stock Market Review and Outlook

Journey Traveled As the final trading day before New Year's heralded the close of 2023, reflecting on the year's stock market journey, I maintained a relatively low trading frequency in both Hong Kong and U.S. markets. Despite the overall downturn in the Hong Kong stock market, my investments yielded some returns, particularly due to the strong performance of several core positions. Within the Hong Kong stock market, I actively engaged in trades involving stocks such as Xiaomi and NIO, both of which ranked among the top performers in the Chinese concept stocks for the year. Notably, Ideal Auto, a long-term focus, initiated a strong counteroffensive with its L series, achieving significant year-on-year and sequential growth in sales. It has outpaced many peers in gross profit and sales, lea

RIVN and FSR share prices could double in 2024

It's not easy to find stocks that can soar or even double in price in just a few months, and many of them lack sustainability. Therefore, a better strategy is to invest in good companies with long-term growth potential and hold them for the long term. To find the doubled growth stocks among them, it's important to choose the right industry. For example, the electric vehicle industry, which is currently experiencing rapid growth, especially those electric vehicle stocks that have seen a significant decline in their stock prices. But as long as the catalysts are in place, their stock prices can soar.In 2024, the prices of two electric vehicle stocks, $Rivian Automotive, Inc.(RIVN)$ and $Fisker Inc.(FSR)$, ar

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 2024 is a year of uncertainty. Sure, we might be ending 2023 with strong performances, and a strong indication of where inflation and interest rates is heading, but how will the market react to it? Some basic economics to explore here, which i have broken down into parts for easy explanation later. 1. Interest rates are part of monetary policies aimed at influencing the amount of money flowing into the economy, so as to influence inflation rates. 2. It does this by increasing or decreasing the cost of borrowing/rewards for saving, thereby resulting in the borrowing price/savings reward going up or down. 3a. As interest rates go up, 3b. more people are incentivized to save as the rewards of saving is higher, while more pe

Goals goals and more goals! I am an avid football fan. So when it comes to goals, usually the first thing that comes to mind is the net bulging when the ball hits it! And it is a nice feeling when the team you are supporting scores the goal.  When it comes to setting goals in term of investments, I guess the rules are similar. You set the goalposts up and try to get the ball in between the posts and score. The wider the posts, the easier to score!  For me, I try to strike a balance. Set the goalposts too wide by being too safe will probably bring average returns but at least the capital is safe! Narrow them too much and run the risk of not being able to score and compromise your capital.  I am expecting 2024 to be tricky for the markets. 2023 was surprisingly great and

The Chinese electric vehicle market is heating up, with China's smartphone giant $XIAOMI-W(01810)$  joining the fray with the introduction of its first EV SU7 and its ambition to become one of the world's top 5 automakers. Xiaomi's jumping onto the EV bandwagon is sure to give other aspiring Tesla-wannabes a hard run for their monies. Chery is also slashing prices across its NEV models, as it prepares for another brutal year of price wars among the EV makers for larger slices of the domestic EV market pie. These are not boding well for the Chinese EV startup trio 9866, 9868 and 2015, $NIO-SW(09866)$
