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

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

Market opened today with extended bullishness from last Thursday d/t Trump announcement of a peace deal with Iran “done” and it will be signed on Sunday. However, it has since been delayed to Wednesday, in line with FOMC rate announcement. This shift has got me thinking, what is this manipulator planning up his sleeves again? So I am holding back my bullets on the tech sector and see how it plays out on Wednesday. The bullishness in the stock market might be because of the continued positive outlook on SPCX since its debut on Friday. Pretty surprised that it still maintained its high level into today. But I will wait for the day that SPY or QQQ a

So right after the release of highest valuated IPO in history for SPCX, the focus shift towards the FOMC meeting and rate announcement on Monday. It is going to be the first annnouncement done by new fed chair Kevin Marsh. With CPI and PPI numbers higher than market estimates, logically speaking it should pressure the fed to cut rate. However, with Kevin Marsh being new to this role, does he want to shake the boat on his first fed meeting? This stock market has spring up plenty of surprises, so I would not be surprised if he choose to maintain rate or even increase rate. Nothing is logical anymore in this stock market led by Trump. @PawsAndProfit

I personally think that there is still bearishness in the market, looking at the tremendous challenges that the trump/republican administration has to overcome. So I will take a precautionary bullish sentiment till the inauguration day.  Taking into account the unstable mental space of trump, I will not take a firm stand on a definite santa rally.
