๐๐๐Bitcoin breached the USD 99,000 level for the first time on Thursday as investors have been bullish ever since Donald Trump won the US Presidential Election. Bitcoin is now just a whisker away from the USD 100,000 level! Microstrategy $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ has benefited greatly as its share price is up a massive 479.8% year todate. MicroStrategy is a software company that is best known for its Bitcoin holding strategy and this strategy has paid off handsomely. Its market capitalisation of USD 106 billion makes it one of America's largest companies. From a market capitalisation of just USD 1 billion in 2011, it is certainly a remarkable turn of events for MicroStrategy.
Should I Sell My Google Stock After US Antitrust Lawsuits?
๐๐๐Google $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ share price has dropped 4.7% on Thursday trading and is now down 3.5% for the past 5 days. This was due to news that the US Department of Justice (DOJ) urged a federal judge to push Google to sell its Chrome browser and force its Android smartphone software to stop favouring the Google search engine. Should I be worried and sell my Google stock? While the measures proposed by the DOJ sound punitive, nothing is certain at this point since the case may take years to be finalised and Google will have the opportunity to appeal and present its view. Google shares have pulled back for 3
๐๐๐In line with Donald Trump's Pro cryptocurrencies'stance, the acquisition of $Bakkt Holdings, Inc.(BKKT)$ by $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ is great way to diversify DJT's holdings. President Elect Trump has launched his own cryptocurrency venture in September - a platform called World Liberty Financial. Is Bakkt's acquisition a good strategy for Trump? Time will tell. Bakkt's shares have gone through the roof. At the last closing price of USD 31.61 which is up a massive 168%, it is overpriced and overvalued. @TigerStars
๐๐๐Bubble Tea is a brilliant invention that brings happiness to many Singaporeans especially the young. Do you know that it was first introduced way back in 1983 by Lin Hsiu Hui in Taichung Taiwan who added tapioca balls to Assam iced tea and the drink became a hit. Bubble tea has become popular worldwide from the US, Europe and especially Asia. My favourite bubble tea is Matcha Red Bean Milk Tea, a most delightful concoction of sweet red beans, matcha powder and milk. Just thinking about it, makes me thirsty for more. @Tiger_SG

In addition to the Carnival brand, it owns Holland America, Princess Cruises, Aida Cruises, Costa Cruises, Cunard, P&O and Seabourn. Carnival's share price has been on a tear with its share price up 17.8% in just 1 month, hitting a 52 week high of USD 25.45 in November and rising by 45% year todate. In 2023, Carnival is up 72%.

Adjusted Net Income outperformed June guidance by USD 170 million. Q3
๐๐๐I believe that Rocket Lab has lots of exponential growth ahead and in the future can be a serious competitor to Space X. Space Exploration is a huge business as Mankind seeks to explore new frontier in space. Satellites are also becoming increasingly important for communications worldwide. Rocket Lab will play an important role in the future to explore the huge opportunities available in this area. I am excited at the possibilities of Rocket Lab in playing a more important role in the future. I believe Rocket Lab's share price will continue its upward momentum.
๐๐๐Nvidia 's Q3 24 report is the most important highlight this week as the expectations are very high for exceptional earnings. I have invested in Nvidia and holding it for the long term as I believe that it is the center of the AI revolution. From its specialised GPUs like the latest Blackwell and the CUDA Platform, Nvidia is the market leader among the semiconductor companies with 90% market share. What an amazing company! Buy and hold long term to reap a Bountiful Harvest ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ @TigerStars @Tiger_comments
$Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ Grab's share price has been on a tear as it is up 9.4% on Tuesday trading and 13% in the past 5 days. Grab has now skyrocketed 65% year todate. What an amazing recovery for Grab! On November 12 Grab reported an excellent Q3 24 earnings that showed it turning back to being profitable. It also raised its forecast for the full year 2024 revenue on expectations of strong growth. Revenue grew 17% year over year. Profit for the quarter was positive at USD 15 million. Adjusted EBITDA improved by USD 62 million to an all time high of USD 90 million. That is fantastic news for shareholders. It is a great feeling to know that Grab has made progress compared to previous year quarter. I have only
๐๐๐Hurray! I am thrilled to see the Straits Times Index $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ reached a new high on Wednesday to SGD 3.84! My stock market monitor was busy this morning informing me of the new high. The STI ETF represents 30 of Singapore largest and strongest blue chips companies. These include the Big 3 Singapore Banks DBS, OCBC and UOB as well as Singtel, Jardine Matheson Holdings, Capitaland Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), Singapore Exchange, Capitaland Ascendas Reits, Keppel Ltd and Singapore Airlines. $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ is up 47% year todate, while
๐๐๐Xiaomi $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ share price has been on a tear as it is up 16.7% in the past month and a huge 82% year todate, making it one of the best performing Chinese stocks this year. On November 18, Xiaomi announced an excellent Q3 24 Earnings report where its revenue for the quarter is up 30.5% year over year to RMB 92.5 billion. Its Gross Profit Margin is 20.4%. Adjusted Net Profit has increased by 4.4% year over year. Its Cash Resources is up by 18.7% year over year to RMB 151.6 billion.

I opened $Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$ ,๐๐๐I love dividends and QYLD does this very well as it pays dividends every month. Global X, its fund manager has been doing it for 10 consecutive years running. The current dividend yield is a nice juicy 11.8%. QYLD does this with a Covered Call Strategy which is normally the domain of big institutions and expert traders. I am waiting to collect my next dividend in December, just in time for Christmas. It is going to be a Merry Christmas with QYLD. ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Captain
๐๐๐MicroStrategy $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ is a company that has the biggest Bitcoin holding currently and its CEO is extreme bullish that Bitcoin will hit USD 100,000 before too long. That is why MicroStrategy is on a Bitcoin buying spree. Now that Donald Trump has been elected as the next US President, he is very much pro crypto and wants to make the US the crypto capital of the world. So I believe that it is only a matter of time before Bitcoin hits the magic figure of USD 100,000 soon. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
๐๐๐A listed company like $SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC(SMCI)$ has a fiduciary duty to its shareholders to be responsible for its accounting matters. That is why when news broke that there are some accounting errors leading to suspicion of accounting manipulation, SMCI share price fell like a rock. However now that they have appointed another auditor and wants to maintain its listing in the Nasdaq Stock Market, investors are relieved and the share price jumped 39% in after hours trading. At the current level, SMCI is trading at a deep discount especially when its 52 week high is USD 122.90. Let's hope SMCI get their accounting matters in order soon for the sake of their shareholders.
๐๐๐Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is on a strong upward momentum as Elon Musk has supported Trump on his election campaign for the US Presidential Election. Now that Trump has won, Elon Musk is in an influential position to advise Donald Trump. The latest news that the US Department of Transport is easing regulations for FSD is great news for Tesla. A Sell Put Option Strategy is a great way to buy at a discount for investors who are bullish on the long term value of Tesla. However there is risk if the underlying price falls significantly. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
๐๐๐The continued war in both Ukraine and the Middle East will have an impact on the oil futures. However with Donald Trump, the US President Elect in office on January 20 2025, US Oil Giants will be major beneficiaries as Trump is the most pro traditional energy US President in recent times. I have invested in $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ which represents the biggest and strongest US Oil Giants before the Ukrainian war and held XLE till now. XLE has reached a 52 week high of USD 98.97 on news when Trump won the US Presidential Election in November. The Top 10 holdings include $Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ &nb
๐๐๐Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ is going up like a Space X Rocket to the moon! It popped 5.5% on Monday's trading and in just 1 month Tesla's shares have jumped 53%. What an amazing comeback for Tesla! However the question in my mind, is it overpriced? Ever since Donald Trump's astounding win in the US Presidential Election, Tesla's shares have been on a tear. Elon Musk has staunchly supported Trump and his efforts are now being rewarded. On Monday, news broke that the new Trump administration is planning to prioritise fully self driving (FSD) vehicles within the Transportation Department. While it is unclear what specific action the Transportation
๐๐๐With the re election of Donald Trump, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ will benefit since Elon Musk has strongly supported Donald Trump when he was campaigning for the US Presidential Election. With Robotaxi on track to be launched in 2026, it is good news that there will be new regulations and new framework to allow autonomous driving in the US. Autonomous Driving is the next milestone for Tesla. Google's Waymo is already ahead of Tesla in this respect. So Tesla needs to catch up with Waymo in order to be competitive.
Is Selling Too Early More Painful Than Missing Out?
๐๐๐Most people think that Buying a stock is the most important investment decision. But what is more important is how to manage a profitable sale. It would seem that there is nothing worse than selling a profitable stock and then watch the price continue to rally. The bad feelings associated with regret that that I have sold too early can often be worse than making a loss. That is because it is often accompanied by emotions that I have missed out on a better gain or that I could and should have done better. However on the bright side, selling early if I have made a profit should not be regarded as a disaster but a blessing. In fact it is rare to get all the profit that may be on offer. What is more important in trading or investing
๐๐๐Life is filled with bright and dark moments but nothing is permanent. My darkest moment must be when my Dad passed away 2 years ago. It was really tough because my Dad and I were close. He was always there for me through good times and bad times. He was my anchor when I was faced with life's challenges. However I believe that his spirit will always be with me and I will never forget him. So whenever I am faced with a difficult task, I would ask myself what would Dad do. Somehow from the depths of my grief and despair, I have become a stronger person. Knowing that my Dad is in a better place gives me comfort and peace. I also appreciate that it is important to seize whatever opportunities that lie ahead and spend my time
