BTC might reach $60,000 if all these works.

As I write this article, BTC is valued at ~US$52,000. It’s a short push to $60,000 given that halving is only 2 months away. Let’s discuss what it will take for BTC to hit that $60,000 mark and we can all go to the moon together! $100,000 Bitcoin after halving? What is BTC halving? It's an event where the reward for verifying transactions on the Bitcoin network gets cut in half, roughly every four years. Only 21 million Bitcoins are ever created, and halving helps control how quickly they enter circulation. Why Does BTC Halving Matter? Scarcity: By reducing the rewards, halving makes Bitcoin even scarcer, which, in theory, could push its price up if demand stays the same. Predictability: The halving schedule is built into the Bitcoin code, so everyone knows when it's happening and how much

Losing sleep over stocks is common these days with the market swinging so much. I lost sleep when I started trading options. It's not stock stock per se but trading options at that point in time was a horrible experience for me. I was waking up every 2-3 hours to check on my options and see if I got profits. And sometimes, my eyes are just glued to the screen. Something I learn from this experience is to know what you are buying and having conviction in the instruments that you got. Stay strong kings!

Why I'm BULLISH on Dividend Stocks?

I have been tracking this since 2022 when I first started investing in dividend stocks, it has been 2 years since. Dividend investing has taught me a skill which is the discipline that many of us have but seldom use. We might come out with reasons and excuses why this can’t be done or that can’t be achieved. But as I started investing more into dividend stocks, I saw the effort vs reward and decided that this was for me. In 2022, I ended the year with $593.15 in Dividends and this was tracked every month which helps me see my passive income stream. 2022 Dividend Income I did the same for 2023, but because I was unemployed for a while in 2023 due to retrenchment, there wasn’t much income for me to invest. And this was something that I regretted. Because if I had continue what I was doing on

If you are deciding to invest in crypto, the best way forward is either owning the asset, ie; buying BTC or ETH directly. Or doing derivativeS like options or perpetual swaps. Other than these 2 options, the risk in investing in a miner or ETF is kinda high risk low returns. I myself do own a miner that mines $HNT tokens and have been mining for more than a year. This allow me to take advantage of the low concentration of miners and get as much rewards as possible which I already broke even with my miner. Entering the mining space now poses 2 main risk. 1) Cost of miner is very high now. Which means harder to ROI or break even. 2) Too many miners around = harder to get rewards. If you are looking to invest in the ETF, do remember that the ETF tracks the asset class. There is management fee

$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$  Adding more STI ETF for my dividend portfolio. With my bus work schedule, I feel that dividend might be a better play so I can focus on working, and my money also works hard by earning dividends!

Dividends collected in 2023

Been using TigerBrokers since they first started way back during COVID-19 and it kinda of sparked my dividend investing journey since then. I’m big on dividends because it provides me with a passive stream of income that I can use to reinvest and compound my money. If you are looking to start investing but not sure what or how, investing in dividends might be a potential way for you to get started! So in 2022, I collected a total of $589.50 in dividends over 12 months, which means I get an extra ~$50 per month to reinvest into my portfolio. This might not be a lot but when the amount is compounded, this will grow to a larger sum. Because the $50 is reinvested into more dividends stocks that will give me more dividends

Should you still invest into BTC or crypto?

As we see more and more ETFs getting approved. This begs the question of whether we should be investing in Crypto? What are the potential changes that can happen in the next 6 months? And what can we do now? I have been Dollar Cost Averaging into BTC and ETH primarily over the last 12 months and this was to just accumulate crypto into my portfolio. And in the last 6 months, the DCA kinda got me buying crypto high prices because of the increase in prices, but for me, it was mainly to keep myself committed and just bite the bullet of buying them without thinking too much of the prices. But I was lucky as well, to be able to catch some waves and still be on the green side of things. What to expect in the next 6 months? With ETH ETFs getting approved just a couple of days ago. What I think wil

My family setup is a little different. my parents own a freehold penthouse and that's their investment because it has doubled in the last 5 years. My dad is more traditional and doesn't invest as much. My mum on the other hand is more savvy and adventurous. She begun investing in SSB with me during the covid season then slowly moved into T-Bills and now I'm getting her to slowly try some dividend stocks which will generate cash flow for her in her golden years. My partner on the other hand, always wants to invest but has never tried. We did a plan to buy 1 APPL share a month, but it lasted for 2 months, then the fire in her died because returns were not great. But when she sees my portfolio, she gets a little jealous. So I have to educate her that it's invested over time and not all in
I closed 1 lot(s) $GOOG 20240322 134.0 PUT$  ,Closed at 50% profit!
Every month, we get some money from varies things that we do. For most of us, it will be in the form of salary or wage. As an average working adult in Singapore, one of the most expensive countries, we always find ourselves struggling with keep up with bills, food, entertainment and other necessities. I used to manage my money by writing down what I spend on and how much I save. But as work started to pile up, this became almost impossible to keep up with. What I do now is to pay my bills and other necessities. Whatever cash I have remaining is for me to use as I please. The only reason I can do this, is because I know myself well and I don't splurge at every given moment or opportunity. So far, this plan has been working out well for me because it gives me more confidence in investing mon
I opened $COIN 20241101 185.0 PUT$  ,Taking some small risk on BTC price pushing upwards! Collecting some premiums for dry powder to be deployed for another day!
$Apple(AAPL)$  is distributing dividends! Usually during distribution of dividends, the share prices will fall with the corresponding dividend distributed. I'm looking to accumulate more$Apple(AAPL)$  to do some options flywheel and collecting of premiums!
I opened 200.0 share(s) $Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$  ,Adding more into Keppel DC pot. Trying to lower my cost of purchase. Dividends are coming soon as well, so it can be a good boost for my annual dividend!
$Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ The long hodling has worked out well!
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  New Year, New Me! That's what everyone says.  But when you are investing, sometimes sticking to the plan that works, is the best plan. I'm a dividend investor and I enjoy collecting dividends in a good and bad market. Dividends provide me with cashflow to reinvest or buy riskier stocks for growth. If you haven't got a plan yet, don't worry. It's ok to start anytime, you don't have to start just because it's a new year. For beginners, look at Index Funds because it gives you diversification into a whole market($VOO). If you want something more specific like the tech industry, $QQQ can be something to look at. Otherwise, let me know what your new year plans are and let's have a discussion!
February seems to be dividend season!
