🌟🌟🌟In the ever evolving world of digital finance, 2 giants have emerged as frontrunners in the race to dominate the crypto infrastructure space - Coinbase and Circle.  Both companies are riding high on the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, a landmark US Senate Bill that could reshape the stablecoin landscape and unlock massive growth potential for investors. However the Big Question is Which Stock Offers The Better Long Term Upside? Coinbase - The Exchange Titan With a Stable coin Edge Coinbase $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$  is the largest US based crypto exchange, boasting over 100 million users and USD 400 billion in assets.  Coinbase is profitable with a solid P/E ratio and a growing suite of produc

🌟🌟🌟While the world chases hype in US biotech, $HENGRUI PHARMA(01276)$ has been quietly building a pharmaceutical empire.  But after its Blockbuster IPO in Hong Kong, the silence is officially over. Hengrui priced its IPO at HKD 44.05 per share, right at the top of its marketed range, raising about USD 1.27 billion.  On Day 1, shares soared over 37%, opening at HKD 57.10 and peaking at HKD 60.20.  This is a clear sign of strong investor confidence. This wasn't just a win for Hengrui.  It was a vote of confidence in Hong Kong's IPO market which has seen a resurgence in listings from high growth Chinese firms.  The proceeds from the IPO are earmarked by Hengrui for accelerating clinical trials, expanding production and

🌟🌟🌟Trump's latest tariff barrage has the markets rattled again.  But this time it is not just geopolitics stirring the pot.  It is Triple Witching Day - An quarterly event where stock options, index options and futures all expire on the same day.  Translation?  Volatility on steroids! This time, it is not just China in the crosshairs.  Europe, Canada and many countries are facing steep important duties with some soaring as high as 46%.  Trump's goal is to reignite domestic manufacturing, shrink the trade deficit and flex economic muscle on the global trade. But here is the Trillion Dollar question - Does the market still buy into the Trump tariff narrative?  Short answer - not like it used to.  Markets initially rallied on the idea  "Americ

🌟🌟🌟Would I Try An Autonomous Taxi? Absolutely!  The idea of hopping into a car with no driver sounds like the start of a sci-fi thriller.  Here is why : No Small Talk required.  No awkward "busy day" from the front seat.  Just me, my playlist and a robot that doesn't judge my karaoke. An autonomous taxi is smarter than your average driver as it is powered by AI that has been trained in miliions of miles of data.   It doesn't text, tailgate or take questionable shortcuts because "Waze said so". It is electric which means fewer emissions and more zen.  Plus I can finally stop pretending that I know how to parallel park. With 360 degrees sensors, radar and zero road rage, an autonomous taxi is built to avoid drama, unlike some humans I know. I might clutch

🌟🌟🌟This week I almost sold my ICLN $iShares Global Clean Energy ETF(ICLN)$ position.  With Trump's anti clean energy pivot such as undoing climate policies, fast tracking fossil fuels, it felt like Clean Energy got hit and ICLN paid the price. But while politics may have clipped its wings, the global clean energy movement is still soaring.  Europe, Asia and states across US are not slowing down. My finger hovered over the Sell button.. then it stepped back.  This is not the end of Clean Energy.  It is  a reset and when it turns green again, I will be ready. 🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛💰💰💰

🌟🌟🌟 $iShares Global Clean Energy ETF(ICLN)$ is under siege and honestly I almost hit the Sell Button.  Thanks to the recent Trump policy reversals such as withdrawal from the Paris Climate  Agreement and a swift rollback of clean energy policies, ICLN is now caught in the crossfire of an administration that is doubling down on fossil fuels! But here is the Truth - temporary policy setbacks don't erase long term global demand.  The world is moving towards decarbonisation.  Europe, Asia and even US states are pushing forward with clean energy mandates.  This revolution  is bigger than any four year term. Yes ICLN is down but the clean energy revolution is far from over.  It is a speed bump.  When the market

I opened 4.0 share(s) $Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$  ,QYLD isn't your average ETF.  It is an income machine.  Designed to deliver consistent monthly cash flow, QYLD turns market volatility into Double Digits Yield!  This is thanks to its Covered Call Strategy on the Nasdaq100.  The current dividend yield is 11.88%.  QYLD goes ex dividend on June 23 2025.  Ka-ching!@CaptainTiger  @Tiger_comments  @TigerStars  @Tiger_SG

🌟🌟🌟June 20 2025 isn't just another Friday.  It is Triple Witching Day and this one is supercharged!  With USD 6.5 Trillion in Options and Futures contracts expiring, it is the largest on record, making it a perfect storm of liquidity, leverage and last minute positioning. Here is a deep dive into what is in play : 1. Volatility Linked ETFs With VIX back above 20 due to geopolitical tensions and compressed trading time after Juneteenth Holiday, Volatility ETFs like VIXY, UVXY are seeing renewed interest.  These are great tools for traders looking to hedge or speculate on short term market swings.  2.  Mega Cap Tech and Index ETFs  Despite the chaos, SPY $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ 

🌟🌟🌟When geopolitical tensions flare like the current conflict between Israel and Iran, most investors instinctively retreat.  But sometimes, the smartest move isn't to run from the fire but to understand what is fueling it.  The iShares MSCI Israel ETF $iShares MSCI Israel ETF(EIS)$ remains a compelling long term play despite the short term volatility.    Here are the reasons why : 1.  Short Term Dip, Long Term Opportunity After Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, EIS dipped about 1.2%.  But it has since rebounded and is up almost 1% and 4.3% in the past 5 days.  EIS has risen by 13.9% year todate.  In 2024, EIS has jumped 45%.  2.  Defense and Cybersecurity Exposure Ironically geopol

🌟🌟🌟Another exciting IPO $ZHOU LIU FU(06168)$ is in the pipeline as this jewelery company aims to raise HKD 1.12 billion by selling 46.8 million shares for HK D 24 per share. Is Zhou Liu Fu (ZLF) a good company to invest in? With over 4100 stores and a franchise driven growth model, ZLF is a mass market force in China's gold jewellery landscape.  There is strong ECommerce momentum and confidence is running high. But compare it to Laopu Gold $LAOPU GOLD(06181)$ ZLF aims squarely at the mid tier consumer while Laopu Gold is positioned as a premium heritage brand. ZLF is like Nike while Laopu Gold is like Hermes.  So both companies cater to different segments of the jewelery market. Bottom Line

🌟🌟🌟Investing isn't a sprint.  Investing is actually a slow dance with time.  Forget about chasing technical tricks or timing the market.  Long term stock investing to me is all about having Patience, Resilience and watching my money grow as businesses evolve and my dividends compound. The secret sauce of Successful Investing is Letting Time Do the Heavy Lifting While I Focus on Quality and Consistency. Because in the markets - Slow and Steady Doesn't Just Win The Race - It Builds The Castle! @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG @CaptainTiger

🌟🌟🌟JPMorgan 's new digital asset JPMD is shaping up to be a game changer but it is not your typical stablecoin.  What is JPMD? JPMD is a deposit token, a block chain representation of US Dollar deposits held by JPMorgan $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ institutional clients.  It is designed for 24/7 secure real time settlement between trusted parties.

🌟🌟🌟With Singapore's SORA and fixed deposit rates continuing to slide, income focused investors are searching for better returns without ramping up risks.  One sector quietly shining is Singapore's Real Estate Investment Trusts (SReits).  SReits offer a compelling mix of stability, yield and long term potential.  Whether you are after dependable dividends or exposure to rising real estate sectors like retail and healthcare, these 2 REITs stand out as smart alternatives to traditional savings. 1.  Capitaland Integrated Commercial Trust  $CapLand IntCom T(C38U.SI)$  is Singapore's largest and most established REIT and plays a central role in Singapore's commercial real estate landsc

🌟🌟🌟It is time to rethink the appeal of Singapore's Fixed Deposits with SORA and TBill yields continuing to decline.  A good alternative to consider is Tiger Vault, Tiger Brokers' ingenious cash management solution. Tiger Vault is a great cash management tool for Singaporean investors to grow idle cash safely via automated money market fund investments.    It is money that never sleeps. @Tiger_SG @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @CaptainTiger

🌟🌟🌟With Israel Iran conflict escalating, oil prices have surged and energy stocks are rallying, making this an exciting moment. Occidental Petroleum $Occidental(OXY)$ is a great stock to invest. OXY is currently trading at USD 45.35, up 2% in the past 5 days and 7% in 1 month. Analysts are forecasting a potential rise to USD 58.33 by July, a 28% gain from current level. As tensions threaten oil supply routes especially Straits of Hormuz, OXY's upstream operations and US based assets become more attractive to investors seeking stability. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has maintained a significant stake in OXY, signaling long term institutional confidence. With a market cap of USD 45 billion, a P/E ratio of under 20 and improving cash flow, OX

🌟🌟🌟The Smartest Way To Invest Is To Get Started.  Many people lose out simply because they never begin.  But if I am aiming for true Smart Investing it goes deeper than just starting. Smart Investing to me means Starting Early and Staying Consistent.  Time in the market beats timing the market.  Compound growth works magic when given time. Smart Investing means Having a plan such as knowing my goal which is FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early and my risk tolerance before even buying a single share. Smart Investing means staying emotionally disciplined.  Smart Investing means staying calm, thinking long term and not getting rattled by the noise. Smart Investing also means automating good habits through dollar cost averaging. So while getting started is impor

🌟🌟🌟Investing can be a powerful way to build wealth but doing it blindly can lead to financial disaster.  Some investors thrive by making calculated, strategic moves while others fall into costly traps driven by impulse and misinformation.  The difference between smart investing and dumb investing isn't just luck - it is Knowledge, Patience and Discipline. If we want our investments to work for us instead of against us, understanding what sets smart investors apart is crucial.  Smart Investing - Strategies for Success 1.  Diversification is Key - Do not put all the  money into 1 stock or asset.  Spread investments across all industries, asset classes and geographical locations to reduce risk. For me I like to invest in ETFs especially Index ETFs like
