I think the move by companies like SBET, BTBT, BTCM, and DFDV into ETH and SOL is bold but strategic. While Bitcoin is still the gold standard, Ethereum and Solana have real utility in DeFi and smart contracts, making them strong long-term plays. These firms are trying to position themselves ahead of the next big crypto wave, not just following the crowd. That said, I still trust giants like MSTR and COIN more. MSTR's focus on Bitcoin has paid off, and COIN gives broader exposure to the crypto space with less risk. They're more stable and proven, especially in volatile markets, so I view them as safer choices for steady crypto-linked gains. Personally, I prefer a balanced mix. Crypto ETFs offer easy exposure without technical hassles, while forward-looking companies like BTCM or DFDV coul

I’ve been riding the Nvidia $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ wave through $Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares(NVDU)$ , and what a journey it’s been! Seeing Nvidia hit a $4 trillion market cap and become the world’s most valuable company is surreal — and I’m proud to be part of it. From the 2020 rally to the AI boom post-ChatGPT, it’s been a front-row seat to history.My conviction in Nvidia remains strong. This isn’t just a chip company anymore — it’s the core of the AI gold rush. With every blockbuster earnings report and headline moment (like Jensen Huang at the White House!), Nvidia keeps proving it’s just getting started. That’s why I went with $Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Sha

2025 has been nothing short of a wild roller coaster ride. The year kicked off with optimism, riding the AI boom & solid earnings from the tech sector. I felt like I was on top of the world, watching my portfolio climb steadily, especially with exposure to semiconductors and EV-related plays. But just when I started thinking, “This is the year!”, the rug got pulled out from under me. Enter Trump & his new wave of tariff threats — markets got jittery, especially anything tied to China or global supply chains. And just when I thought I could navigate that storm, the unexpected public spat between Trump & Elon Musk erupted. As someone holding Tesla and other Musk-related plays, that conflict tanked sentiment overnight. It felt like I had no control, up one day, crushed the next,

I am absolutely amazed to see Bitcoin's price surpass $118,000, setting a new all-time high. This milestone is a testament to the growing acceptance and value of cryptocurrencies, and I am thrilled to witness this surge. The momentum in the market is palpable, and I feel excited about what this could mean for the future. The news that more and more companies are adding cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to their reserves really fuels my optimism. As corporate and institutional buying accelerates, I believe it could significantly speed up Bitcoin's path to new all-time highs. I see this as a strong indicator of mainstream adoption, which I think will drive even more growth. I am particularly intrigued by the idea of a Trump presidency potentially pushing Bitcoin to $200,000

I am absolutely thrilled about the news surrounding Elon Musks xAI company releasing its Grok-4 large language model. The fact that Musk emphasized Grok-4 can reach or even surpass the level of a human PhD across all disciplines is incredibly exciting. It showcases the incredible potential of artificial intelligence, and I am eager to see how this innovation will shape the future. The integration of Grok into Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   vehicles, with the rollout expected as early as next week, has me even more enthusiastic. Knowing that this advanced AI will soon enhance Tesla's capabilities makes me confident in the company's direction. Tesla's surge of 4.73 percent yesterday on this news only reinforces my belief in its upward t

As an enthusiastic follower of market trends, I'm thrilled to see NVIDIA $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$   hit that historic $4 trillion market cap! The news about Citi raising their price target from $180 to $190, citing a larger-than-expected total addressable market (TAM) for AI datacenter semiconductors, really catches my attention. I'm particularly excited about the increased forecasts for computing and networking revenue, which I believe signals strong growth ahead. When it comes to setting a target price for NVIDIA, I don't have a specific figure to share, but I'm optimistic. The AI boom is driving incredible demand, and with NVIDIA leading the charge, I see plenty of upside potential. I'd love to dig deeper int

Temasek’s record SGD 434 billion portfolio, with a sharp SGD 45 billion jump in just one year, really caught my attention. Their 11.8% 1-year return shows they’ve been making the right calls, especially with their focus on Singapore-listed giants and global growth trends like digitalization and sustainability. My portfolio overlaps with Temasek’s in a few areas — I hold $DBS(D05.SI)$ and $Singtel(Z74.SI)$, which have been steady performers for me. While I haven’t added names like $Sea Ltd(SE)$ or $BlackRock(BLK)$ yet, Temasek’s strong exposure there makes me want to take a closer look. Overall, my local stocks have been reliable, giving me decent returns and stability. Temasek’s conviction in these companies strengthens my confidence in sticking with quality Singapore investments while ke

I opened $Oscar Health, Inc.(OSCR)$  ,Oscar Health (NYSE: OSCR) has quietly become one of the most compelling digital health turnaround stories in the market today. While recent price action shows the stock pulling back from its 2024 highs, I see this as a rare second-chance opportunity—not a red flag. My conviction in Oscar remains strong, and I'm taking this correction as a chance to accumulate shares before the market fully prices in its transformation. At its core, Oscar is a tech-driven health insurer that's disrupting a bloated and outdated system. What sets Oscar apart is its focus on member experience, data-driven underwriting, and scalable infrastructure. The company is finally reaching an inflection point: after years of heavy inves

Looking back at 2022, I do think it was the perfect buying opportunity for $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ but like many retail investors, I underestimated how quickly the AI wave would take off. I’ve always seen value in semiconductors, but Nvidia’s surge from $2 trillion to $4 trillion this year is just incredible. It’s no longer just a chipmaker—it’s the core engine of global AI development. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Nvidia breaks $200. With demand from hyperscalers, sovereign AI spending, and continued model training, the growth story still has legs. Valuation is rich, but I believe dollar-cost averaging is still a smart approach. I’d rather slowly build a position than risk missing out by trying to time the market perfectly. Let’s be honest—wai

I am absolutely thrilled to see Bitcoin surpassing one hundred twelve thousand dollars for the first time, setting a new all-time high! This milestone reflects surging market speculation and continued institutional inflows, which are driving a broad rally across risk assets. The energy in the market is palpable, and I am excited to be part of this upward movement as of late. As someone who is generally bullish on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, I find this news incredibly encouraging. The institutional buying, often referred to as smart money, is a strong signal that Bitcoin is leading the charge. While I am optimistic about both cryptocurrencies, it seems clear to me that Bitcoin remains the top and preferable choice among investors right now, given its dominance in this rally. The question of

I am incredibly excited to hear that NVIDIA $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$  has become the first company to reach a four trillion dollar market cap in history! This milestone fills me with confidence, and I am thrilled to see Citi raising NVIDIA's price target from one hundred eighty dollars to one hundred ninety dollars. The news about a larger-than-expected total addressable market for AI datacenter semiconductors, along with increased forecasts for computing and networking revenue, makes me believe NVIDIA is on an unstoppable upward trajectory. The updated valuation, based on Citi's revised fiscal year 2028 earnings per share estimate of six point thirty-seven dollars and a consistent price-to-earnings multiple of thirt

I am absolutely thrilled to see the Nasdaq $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$  hitting a new high, fueling a wave of optimism among investors, especially with the promising trade tariff negotiations in play. The S&P 500 $S&P 500(.SPX)$   is clearly riding this bullish momentum, and I am highly encouraged by Goldman Sachs raising its 12-month forecast from 6,500 to 6,900, signaling a robust market trend. Regarding the year-end target, Goldman Sachs has boldly adjusted it from 6,100 to 6,600, and I am incredibly excited about the S&P 500's strong upward trajectory. The steady progress over the past month convinces me it's not just possib

Looking back on my trading journey, I’ve definitely committed a few of these “investing sins.” Greed and impatience hit me hardest—I often held on too long, hoping for more gains, or chased green candles expecting quick profits. Without a clear plan, I ended up losing more than I should have. One trade I regret was jumping into a hyped stock out of envy, just because others were making big gains. I didn’t understand the company at all and ended up stuck for months. That loss taught me to tune out the noise, do proper research, and trust my own judgment. If there were an eighth sin, I’d add overtrading—constantly buying and selling without reason. It burns capital and energy fast. My tip for beginners: stay patient, track your trades, and always know your exit before you enter. Discipline

I find Circle $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ 8.5% rebound this week intriguing, especially with some investors betting on its comeback like a meme stock. Circle being back in the 200 dollar range is tempting, but I am hesitant to jump on the wagon just yet. Meme stocks often ride waves of hype, and while the rebound is promising, I prefer to see more consistent performance before committing. My view on meme stocks like Circle, Big Bear $BigBear.ai Holdings(BBAI)$  , and Wolfspeed $Wolfspeed Inc.(WOLF)$  is cautious but open. These stocks can offer explosive short-term gains driven by retail i

I view Goldman Sachs new price target for $S&P 500(.SPX)$  , raising the 12-month forecast from 6,500 to 6,900 and the year-end target from 6,100 to 6,600, as a cautiously optimistic signal. With today being the last day of the tariff pause on July 9th, 2025, the expiration could introduce some uncertainty. However, Goldman Sachs $Goldman Sachs(GS)$   upgrade suggests confidence in market resilience, and I find this adjustment reasonable given the current economic landscape. It reflects a belief in potential growth, which aligns with my tendency to look for opportunities even amidst mixed signals. The mention of the market trading TACO again, alongside

As a long-term investor, I remain bullish on $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   despite the recent sharp decline in its stock price. Cathie Woods prediction of a 2600 dollar price within five years, which is nearly nine times its current value, aligns with my belief in the companys potential. Elon Musks decision to personally take over Teslas sales operations in the United States and Europe signals a critical turning point, and I see this as a positive move. His hands-on approach could refocus the company on its core strengths, especially as it navigates challenges in the market. That said, I recognize that short-term noise might be influencing the stocks performance, particularly due to Elon Musks involvement in polit

I'm most bullish on $Oracle(ORCL)$ . While travel stocks like $Royal Caribbean Cruises(RCL)$ and $Booking Holdings(BKNG)$ are riding the post-COVID rebound, Oracle is building long-term value through AI and cloud infrastructure. Its cloud revenue grew 50% year-over-year, and a new deal could bring in $30 billion annually — proof it’s a major player in the AI boom. Oracle has moved beyond legacy software, with global projects like the $6.5B Malaysia investment and Abu Dhabi’s Stargate. The stock is up over 40% YTD, and analysts keep lifting price targets, now eyeing $250. It’s clear the market is recognizing Oracle’s momentum.

I’ve always liked the idea of passive income, but being a landlord isn’t for me — too much cost, hassle, and risk. That’s why I invest in REITs instead. They provide rental income exposure with much lower barriers and far less stress. With dividend yields of 5%–7%, REITs offer stable, long-term cash flow that fits my investment goals. I’m especially drawn to diversified and healthcare REITs. CapLand IntCom Trust gives access to multiple property types, while ParkwayLife REIT offers stability through long-term leases in the healthcare sector. This mix balances income and growth while helping cushion market volatility. Between REITs and Tiger Vault, I prefer REITs for their higher yield and growth potential. Tiger Vault is useful for short-term cash parking, but for income and upside, REITs

With Trump’s latest tariff threats—especially the 25% hike on Japan and South Korea—I’m tightening my short-term hedging strategy. Markets may be in extreme greed mode, but the sudden VIX spike shows how quickly sentiment can flip. I’m eyeing $ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF(UVXY)$ as a short-term volatility play ahead of August 1, not for long-term holding, but to ride the near-term uncertainty. I’m also considering Tesla puts. Musk’s political ambitions, like launching the “American Party,” are adding distractions and potential headline risk to TSLA. The stock has already pulled back, and if market sentiment shifts further, it could drop faster than many expect. Puts offer a cost-effective hedge without touching my core positions.

I am thrilled to share my perspective on the remarkable rise of bank stocks, as their growth has been nothing short of impressive. The financial sector is experiencing a surge, with institutions reaching new peaks in the stock market. This upward trajectory reflects a robust bull market, where investments are climbing steadily, driven by strong economic indicators and investor confidence. The consecutive days of gains signal a high point for these stocks, showcasing their ability to outperform competitors and lead the market. For me, this rally is a clear sign of the sector's resilience and potential for sustained success. The ascent of bank stocks feels like a summit of achievement in the financial world. I have observed how these institutions are not just competing but dominating, with t
