I just wrapped up a short-haul trip to KL โ๏ธ & now shifting into year-end rhythm. For me, Christmas means scaling back trading ๐, reviewing the portfolio ๐, & enjoying some festive downtime. This year Iโll keep it simple: A low-key break in SingaporeโSoaking in Orchard lights โจ, maybe a stroll at Holland Village ๐ท, & family time at home ๐ . Trading-wise, I prefer light monitoring ๐, letting the market breathe while I recharge ๐. Sometimes the best trade is no trade during the holidays ๐ . Merry Xmas[Love]@JC888 @Barcode @Shyon

I think ๐ค its a good pick by JPMorgan . DBS will continue to shine in 2026 & my portfolio also includes some of JPM selection too. However UOB will still be one of my core SG portfolio stocks [Happy]. Follow my chart ๐๐๐ @JC888 @Barcode @Aqa @DiAngel @Shyon @Shernice่ปๅฌฃ 2000 @koolgal
@Shyon:From my perspective, Tesla making new all-time highs and then fading intraday is a very familiar pattern. It usually reflects a clash between long-term believers and short-term traders taking profits into strength. The robotaxi update is clearly a meaningful catalyst, but at these levels, the market is no longer reacting to "potential" aloneโit wants clearer signals on timing, scalability, and regulation. On the move above $500, I think it's possible, but it won't be a clean breakout. There is heavy psychological and positioning resistance around that level, and any push through it will likely require either a strong follow-through in autonomous driving milestones or a broader risk-on environment in U.S. equities. Without that confirmation, price action could remain choppy, with sharp swin
@Shyon:Over the next 12 months, I see gold's primary driver as macro uncertainty rather than pure inflation. Slowing global growth, rising geopolitical risks, and the growing need for portfolio hedges are pushing central banks and long-term investors to hold more gold. Even if the Fed doesn't cut aggressively, the market is already pricing in a world where real rates struggle to stay restrictive for long, which remains supportive for gold. I view the recent strength in both silver and gold as fundamentally healthy, not speculative excess. Gold is acting as the anchorโbenefiting from safe-haven demand and central bank buyingโwhile silver is expressing a higher-beta version of the same thesis, amplified by industrial demand tied to energy transition and electronics. This combination suggests the mo
@koolgal:๐๐๐When price hits a key moving average, is it better to add with the trend or wait for confirmation? The 1st approach is more aggressive approach & involves buying or selling immediately the moment the price touches the moving average & assuming the long term trend will continue. The advantage is you get the best possible entry price if the trend is strong & immediate. However you risk catching a falling knife. This may lead to significant losses if the trend reverses. The 2nd approach of waiting for confirmation is a more prudent approach. This strategy involves waiting for a signal. This could be a specific candlestick pattern or bounce in momentum indicators, before entering the trade. This approach reduces the risk & filters out the fakeouts or
@The Investing Iguana:๐ฉ The Singapore market is currently telling two dangerous stories at once, and if you're not careful, you could misread the headlines and hurt your portfolio. We are seeing a violent divergence in the local banking sectorโwhile DBS and OCBC are hitting all-time highs, UOB is being punished for a massive earnings miss. This "decoupling" is rare, and it's tempting many investors to make a classic mistake: buying the laggard just because it looks "cheap" on paper. But is UOB actually a bargain, or is it a value trap waiting to burn through your cash? In this video, we cut through the noise to explain exactly why the banks are splitting, why "boring" blue chips like ST Engineering are suddenly raining special dividends, and why Keppel REITโs controversial acquisition might actually be a gift f
@The Investing Iguana:๐ฉ Waking up to see DBS hitting record highs while your UOB position bleeds red is a terrifying feeling for any Singaporean investor. In 2025, we are witnessing a massive 30% performance gap between our local banks, leading many to ask a dangerous question: "Did I pick the wrong horse?" This video tackles the anxiety of holding laggards while the rest of the market rallies, and investigates whether your retirement capital is actually at risk or if you are staring at a misunderstood opportunity. We go beyond the headlines to explain the historic "decoupling" happening in the SGX right now. I break down the specific credit risks weighing on UOB versus the wealth management engine driving DBS, and why the market is pricing them so differently. We also dive into Singtel's massive S$6.4 billion
@Shyon:From my perspective, these MA principles are about reading market structure, not predicting direction. Minor breakdowns and breakouts test conviction rather than signal immediate trend changes. What matters most is the slope of the moving average, as it reflects average holding cost and who controls price. For $NVDA, the move below the 5-day to 60-day MAs doesnโt yet suggest an oversold rebound. While price has broken under multiple averages, the distance from the falling MAs isnโt large enough to count as excessive negative divergence. This looks more like a minor breakdown within a weakening trend than a stretched mean-reversion setup. So I see this as neither a panic โbreakdown sellโ nor a buy-the-dip opportunity. NVDA needs either a deeper extension to trigger oversold dynamics or a d
