Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. I still remember vividly I signed up for an options trading course with Terence Tan, a local options trader based of Singapore in 2019. I progressed from someone who know nothing about options to being confident to excute trades under my mentor guidance to now being able to do chart reading and make my own trades. I definitely struggled a lot to

Yields continue to climb, Bond prices continue to drop, whats happening next?

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.‌ With yields continue to climb, no ease in political tensions between US and the rest of world, the consistant high prices of oil and diesel, the market seem to be resilent and still holding strong. Let’s see how long this bottleneck can hold before it breaks. We are heading into the “traditional” bear market period of the year. And with two more Fed announcements coming up, who knows which direction this market is going to swing? @PawsAndProfits - Specialist in combining FA and TA for Options selling and Swing trading.[666]

Is this period the best ever for the market? Or is it a false positive?

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.‌ With Trump pushing for a cut in capital gains tax, which on the surface it does benefit the wealthy the most. However, it does mean its more favorable than ever as a retail investor to invest in the US market. With all the optimism taken into account, please do take precaution. Do not chase the companies that have already ran up, set your profit taking margins and stop losses. Develop your own system and stick to it until it breaks, then evaluate and adjust it accordingly. Always remember, the market only reward investors who stay invested. By having strict rules and system, it ensures that you get to stay in the market on the long run, while st

$Micron Technology(MU)$   Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. I personally think MU and its counterparts are due for a correction. Overall I am still bullish on the tech sector. But on the short to medium term I think there will be a shift of funds back into defensive sectors such as commodities and healthcare.  @PawsAndProfits - Specialist in combining FA and TA for Options selling and Swing trading.

However, do align your rationale and conviction accordingly. You are trading based on a single cylical move, and not based on a mid - long term outlook, or taking into account the intrinsic value of TSLA.  I do not condone or disagree with trading during a cylical event, but you have to make your reasons of entry clear so that it is not conluded with other belief systems u have.

Dividend vs Growth, which one is better?

Disclaimer: Whatever I say or post doesn't act as financial advice, so please do your due diligence before making any decision. Dividend focus or growth focus? I think this is a common question that most investors will have when they start their investment journey, or when they rebalance their portfolio. This a a dilemma for me till today as well, should I even consider to include the stock in my portfolio if it does not pay dividends? I will break down my thoughts about this in the following segments. 1. Dividends Are Not a Guarantee of Quality A dividend payout doesn’t automatically make a stock superior. Intel (INTC) is a great example of how even a long-standing dividend aristocrat can face challenges due to competitive pressures, technological shifts, or mismanagement. Dividends can s

Managing losses is as important as earnings!

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. Hi readers! Today I am going to touch on the topic of managing losses in trading. Yes I know, nobody likes to mention about how much they lose in trading. Everyone likes to post and share about their attractive ROI, their earnings from trading. However, have you wondered how much they do lose before they achieve the highs? Majority of individual investors are focus on shooting for the moon, gunning for that golden goose of profit, often not realizing that they are undertaking an enormous amount of risk at the same time. And when their trade goes wrong, they struggle to manage their losses, both financially and mentally. If you rinse and repeat th

Hot CPI report, further pressure for a rate hike in December, increased pressure on debt for tech companies

Disclaimer: Nothing I say or post should be considered financial advice. Please do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions.‌ So hotter CPI data provided us much distraction from the $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ fiasco and huge damage done to the tech sector over the past two weeks. However, this might lead to a rate hike in December, which means further pressure on the debt levels accumulated by the tech sector. And seems like competitors of Nvidia are ready to pounce on their turmoil, $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ seem to be positioned to capitalize on $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ TPU, wrestling market share away from Nvidia. Lets see how long will Nvidia need to s
