๐ŸŒŸMy biggest trading weakness is a classic: I am a world class "Bag Holder", treating losing stocks like stray puppies that just need more "time" and "hope" to get back to breakeven. Warren Buffett has a blunt warning for those of us caught in this psychological trap: "Selling your winners and holding your losses is like cutting flowers and watering the weeds". How do I plan to fix this trading weakness? 1.  The "Hard Stop" Divorce:  Setting a stop loss at entry. If the price hits the line, the relationship is over. There is no "we can work this out" talk. 2.  The "Blank Slate Test":  Ask the question -  'If I didn't own this weed today, would I buy it?". If not, it is time to cut it off. 3.  The "Flower" Pivot : Moving my capital from the stagnant weeds into

Tesla's Robotaxi Reveal: The "April Fool" or the Ultimate Alpha? ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸThe market is holding its breath for Tesla's April 8 Robotaxi reveal.    Tesla is currently experiencing an IV dip, an uncharacteristic period of calm.  While the stock has historically been a volatile machine, recent data shows Implied Volatility or IV sitting at a "subdued" 42.07%.  This IV dip means the options market is pricing in much smaller price swings than usual, making options premiums relatively inexpensive just as a massive catalyst approaches. The April 8 Robotaxi Reveal: The April Alpha The market is currently in a lull as it prepares for the pivotal Robotaxi reveal on 8 April.  This event is being framed as a potential "largest value creation event in history", shifting the narrative

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ $Verizon(VZ)$ $AT&T Inc(T)$ and $T-Mobile US(TMUS)$ are outperforming the S&P500 in 2026 due to strong earnings, subscriber growth and improving balance sheet discipline. Verizon has the most impressive performance with 23% YTD in 2026, beating the S&P500 by a wide margin. I have put these stocks on my watch list with a view to buy. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerClub @CaptainTiger

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIf you want to own $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ at a discount and get paid while waiting, a good Options strategy is a Cash Secured Put. When you sell a cash secured put: You choose a strike price below the current QQQ price. You collect premium upfront. If QQQ drops to your strike price, you get assigned and buy it at that lower price. If QQQ stays above your strike price, you keep the premium and can repeat the process. It is the most disciplined way to say that you want to buy QQQ but only if it gets cheaper and you want income while waiting. You do not need to own QQQ.  However you need the cash to buy 100 shares if assigned.  In other words you buy QQQ at a discount. @Tiger_comments

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ $BABA-W(09988)$ & $TENCENT(00700)$ reported earnings that were solid in fundamentals but immediately overshadowed by one word: CAPEX. Yet when you look past the headlines, a clearer story emerges - both companies are strengthening their foundations for the next decade , not stumbling. Would I buy the dip? Yes since I believe in China's long term digital & AI infrastructure.  Tencent & Alibaba are companies with real cash flow & real moats.    Their valuations are so much lower than their US peers. Tencent & Alibaba are not companies in decline.  They are companies choosing to invest when others hesitate. Could they drop further?  Yes in the short t

China's AI Growing Pains ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸThe market is currently reeling from a brutal "vibe check" on China's Tech Giants.  $BABA-W(09988)$  and $TENCENT(00700)$  have collectively shed around USD 84 billion in market value in 24 hours.  While both of these Chinese tech giants are pouring billions into AI as the next frontier, investors are starting to ask a very expensive question : Where is the money? Why The Selloff?  The "Paper Panic" Breakdown  Profitability vs Promises: Investors are losing patience with the lack of near term visibility in AI monetisation.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIt is a scary time in the markets with doom and gloom all over the news.  The S&P500 has erased all its 2026 gains following a brutal 1.5% Friday slide.  With the Nasdaq & Russell 2000 slipping into correcting territory, it is easy to feel scared. Buy the Dip or Follow the Trend? With 52% of investors now bearish, we are in "Extreme Fear" territory.  Warren Buffett's advice to be greedy when others are fearful suggests it is a good time to go bargain hunting. However with the Fed signalling a hawkish hold due to war driven inflation, the trend is currently your enemy until a policy pivot arrives. My Strategy?  I will continue to dollar cost average into $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPYM)$

๐ŸŒŸMy biggest trading weakness is the classic "Hero Complex", also known as the irresistible urge to catch a falling knife because I am convinced I have found the "bottom" before the rest of the world. How I trip up: Confirmation Bias - searching for a headline that validates my long position while ignoring the massive red candles screaming "Get out!" The "Early Entry" Itch: Buying the dip because it "looked oversold", only to watch it drop. The "One More Trade" Syndrome: Trying to "revenge trade" a loss, only to find out it drops more. How to fix this "Hero Complex"? Size matters: I have moved from "All-In" entries to staged scaling.  Instead of catching the knife with bare hands, I am putting out a safety net - buying 25% at a time.  If it keeps falling, I still have dry powder.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸI do not believe the current gold/silver is a Bear Trap nor the start of a regime change.  Gold does not depend on a dividend or a corporate board's permission to exist. Gold's value is dictated by the law of physics and scarcity. Gold never had a "bad quarter".  It doesn't have to worry about missing an EPS target or a DOJ investigation into its office renovations. Unlike Gold, Silver is a working class metal with its sleeves rolled up. If the AI revolution is the "Brain" of 2026, Silver is the nervous system that transmits the thoughts . Silver is indispensable as it is the most conductive metal on Earth. From HBM chips to solar panels, the demand for Silver is insatiable. That is why the current USD 4600 dip in Gold and the 30% plunge in Silver prices offer a great time to

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸI like $EFUND A SEMICON(03486)$ as it is standing as a formidable alternative to the US-centric chip plays.  While the world focuses on Silicon Valley, this ETF is quietly capturing the actual foundries and memory banks that power the global revolution. EFund Asia Semiconductor ETF isn't just another tech fund.  It is a tactical bet on Asia's best semiconductor stocks. The Top holdings include TSMC, SK Hynix, Hua Hong and SMIC in one powerful ETF.  With a small investment of only HKD 1500 I can gain access to these great Asian Semiconductor stocks. EFund Asia Semiconductor ETF will start trading on March 26.  I look forward to buying t

What is One Stock I want to "Curse" today?    ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIf there is one ticker currently earning a place on the "Wall of Fame" it is $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$  .  Watching USO in 2026 is like dating a high drama partner who promises a "wild weekend" but leaves you paying the bill while they disappear into the night.  It is the ultimate "Heartbreak ETF". USO: The "Fast & Furious" Oil Play for New Investors  For a new investor, USO is not a buy and hold stock like Apple or Exxon.  It is an exchange traded product or ETP designed to track the daily price movements of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude oil.

The Red Screen of 2026: Why Gold & Silver are Diving Together  ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸAs of Friday, 20 March 2026, the commodities market is in a high velocity liquidation flush.  If you are staring at your screen wondering why Gold and Silver are diving despite the Iran war, look no further than the high stakes standoff at the US Federal Reserve. The "Why": The Captain Who Refuses To Leave the Bridge  The Powell Standoff:  The Cause  The market is recoiling because Jerome Powell has effectively declared on Wednesday 18 March 2026 that he is not going anywhere.  He vowed to serve as "Chair Pro Tem" if his term expires on May 15 before a successor is confirmed. The Power Play  Even more disruptive, Powell stated that he would remain on the Board of Governors until 2028 wh

$iShares 0-3 Month Treasury Bond ETF(SGOV)$ ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸI invest in SGOV because it is built on ultra short US Treasury Bills - the closest thing to "bulletproof" the financial world can offer in these volatile times.  No hype, no surprises, just safety wrapped in yield of 3.54%.   I am investing for stability and peace of mind and right now SGOV gives me that.    The next ex dividend date is April 1 2026.  Ka-ching! ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ @Tiger_comments  @TigerStars  @TigerClub  @Tiger_SG

$Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$ ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIn volatile times like now, I invest in QYLD because I appreciate the predictability of monthly distributions.  After all the Fund Manager Global X has been doing so 12 consecutive years running.  QYLD pays a distribution yield of 11.89% by using a Covered Call Options Strategy on stocks in the Nasdaq 100.  This saves investors time and expense of doing so individually. QYLD goes ex dividend on March 23 2026, with a pay date of March 26 2026.  Ka-ching!๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ @Tiger_comments  @TigerStars  @TigerClub &nbs

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIs Tencent a HALO stock?  I think $TENCENT(00700)$ is not a pure HALO stock but it does have  some HALO elements. Tencent's HALO elements are a massive entrenched ecosystem. WeChat is more than just an app.  It is an infrastructure.  It is a digital Utility with network effects, high switching costs and essential daily use. Tencent's FinTech arm is deeply embedded in China's financial system.  This is a HALO style moat. With Tencent building more data centers, compute and AI infrastructure.  This leans towards HALO. Where Tencent is not HALO is because it is still fundamentally a tech platform which is fast moving , dependent on innovation cycles.  This is the opposite of HALO's slow, steady, physical asset

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸWhy did $TENCENT(00700)$ drop 6% after its latest earnings report? One of the main reasons is Tencent signalled higher Capex ahead as it stepped up its investment in AI infrastructure & ecosystem expansion. Markets tend to punish rising capex because it pressures free cash flow in the short term. Another main reason is that Tencent intends to reduce share buybacks.  A slow down in capital buyback is not good because it removes one of the strongest, most reliable support of a stock valuation. For a giant like Tencent, that matters more than people would like. Is this a short term misreading or a long term shift? I believe this is a short term misreading.  Tencent's revenue, gaming, FinTech & AI enhanced advertising all remai

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ isn't dreaming - 550,000 is within reach based on Xiaomi's current run rate and factory scaling.  The factory is already operating near the volumes needed and its Beijing super factory was built for exactly this ramp up.  The real question isn't capacity.  It is execution consistency. Xiaomi is on track to become the fastest automaker in history to reach 1 million cumulative sales, projected in its 3rd year. Lei Jun is certainly an excellent CEO to be able to accomplish so much in such a short time. @Tiger_comments @

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸI am very impressed with $XIAOMI-W(01810)$ latest MiMo-V2-Pro which is built for Agentic workloads.  This is not a "chatbot for fun".  It is engineered for task completion, workflow orchestration and real world automation.   This is the direction the entire AI industry is moving toward.  It is the same category OpenAI, Google and Tencent are racing into. Xiaomi also stated that its AI investments especially in EVs and robotics are already profitable and outperforming internal forecasts.  It is not surprising that Xiaomi's share price is up  3.4% today.  It is time for Xiaomi to shine ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

$Schwab US Broad Market ETF(SCHB)$ ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸI  invest in SCHB because sometimes the smartest move in the market is to stop trying to be a fortune teller and just own everything that actually matters.  While other people are out there squinting at the charts, I am happily holding the entire US market in one clean drama free ETF. I love that its expense ratio is so low - 0.03%.  That is only 3 dollars for every 10,000 dollars invested.  The dividend yield of 1.2% isn't flashy but it shows up consistently.  SCHB goes ex dividend on March 26 2026 which means pay date is just around the corner. Most of all I invest in SCHB because it reflects how I build wealth: with patience, conviction and a healthy sense of humour about the c
