For Tiger Brokers, deposits via DDA (from DBS accounts only) is instantaneous, and I can make trades immediately without unnecessary time lags. This is great for "buying the dip" for counters with high intra-day volatility. Tiger Brokers should consider expanding DDA with other banks.On the other hand, withdrawal of idle funds usually takes longer, especially if the withdrawal is done near 5.00pm SG local time. Sometimes remission only happens the next day. Tiger Brokers should extend the daily cut off time for withdrawals for greater convenience for retail investors.
SATS shot themselves in the foot with an ill-prepared M&A announcement and a vague statement about rights issue back in Sep and caused their own share price to tumble more than 30% almost immediately. $DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD(D05.SI)$ on the other hand is looking very good. They remain as the market leaders among the 3 SG local banks and their business growth and consolidation look to be better and better in a high interest environment.
$Netflix(NFLX)$is facing too much competition now compared to the start of COVID lockdowns. Their challenge is not only to grow new subscribers but also to retain the existing subscribers. And they are losing licences of many hit shows to rival streaming platforms so they will be forced to invest even more money into their own shows. The odds are not in Netflix's favour.
As usual, Seeking Alpha being the biggest cheerleaders for $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$even when their writer's views are far detached from reality. Palantir's stock price moves like a meme stock, and it is usually the first to tank at the slightest hint of market weakness. Get real, please. [Facepalm]
It is a joke to put $Emperador Inc.(EMI.SI)$into the STI less than 2 months after listing in SGX, not to mention it is only a secondary listing AND it is an entirely overseas business entity with mininal presence in Singapore. The STI reserve list contains more deserving counters which have longer track records in SGX.
$NIO Inc.(NIO)$ is being squeezed by Chinese competitor BYD, market leaders TESLA, as well as legacy carmakers FORD, VOLKSWAGEN and GENERAL MOTORS [Cool] Despite all time high sales almost every month, somehow NIO has yet to become profitable which should be concerning, especially since they are expected to spend even more in the coming months to compete with the abovementioned manufacturers. [Victory]
The Feds are reckless. By pushing the economy towards recession to tame inflation, the Feds forget that jobs will be lost by ordinary people and total loss of income is much worse than rising prices. The US unemployed can still rely on Govt payouts, but many other countries do not have good social security and jobless people will be left to struggle themselves.
Tiger Coin Center has become my daily morning routine. I will log in daily to earn Tiger Coins by completing all tasks, including looking for posts to give warm-up comments and likes. My favourite redemptions are of course the Stock Vouchers which allow me to offset some of the costs of my Buy Orders. Stock Vouchers encourage traders to continue using Tiger Brokers for trades and increases engagement. I am disappointed that Tiger Brokers have reduced the Stock Vouchers available for redemption, especially USD 10 Stock Vouchers which have been removed completely. I hope Tiger Brokers can improve Stock Voucher availability in the future.
LOL at Bloomberg. He failed miserably in his US Presidential election bid in 2020 as a Democrat, and now his media company is downplaying Republicans' victory in the US House of Representatives. If the Democrats had narrowly won 218 seats, Bloomberg would have written fluff articles for weeks calling it a major victory [Facepalm] No journalistic integrity whatsoever.
As usual, Seeking Alpha conveniently forgot that $Netflix(NFLX)$fell from $700, not $217. So the Netflix management hasn't "proven their mettle" at all. It will become even harder for Netflix to stay competitive after losing hit shows to other streaming platforms. Hope their "Netflix Original" shows will do well.
Have to agree that $NIO Inc.(NIO)$ is not yet a good buy especially after 2-3 days of sharp rises without any logical explanations or underlying new developments. However, any investors who are long on NIO could consider accumulating more shares whenever it dips below $10 [Miser] It has a long way to go before it can get anywhere near TESLA though, and the traditional German carmakers are catching up in EV market soon.
Seeking Alpha is trying WAY too hard to be a cheerleader for $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ . Seeking Alpha keeps trying to justify that it is the shareholders' fault for "not understanding Palantir's business", but most shareholders only want to see their assest appreciate in value and Palantir has failed them badly. Seeking Alpha should just give it a rest before humiliating themselves any further.
Even Palantir's leaders are still dumping their shares. As long as insider selling does not stop, $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$is a "Bye", not a "Buy".
Most of the News articles are concise and informative, although it is annoying to see so many M0tley F00l articles with sensationalist and misleading titles. Some Tigers also share useful insights in the comments which stand out from the usual flood of desperate "please like" requests. It would be nice if Tiger Brokers offered more daily tasks to make it easier to earn more Tiger coins to exchange for stock vouchers.
$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is a meme stock. Not sure why "analysts" bother to do detailed write ups about its P/E ratio etc, because it moves up and down like a meme stock. There is often no reason for it to shoot up, and it tanks at the slightest sign of general market weakness. There is no need to over analyze this counter or romanticize its founder CEO Alex Karp. Just treat it like a meme stock and ride it up and down [LOL]
The problem with $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$is always going to be their generous stock-based compensation model. It creates the illusion of free cash flow, but every stock price rally is instantly killed by insider selling and retail investors get shortchanged. The company needs to pare down its stock awards to top management and switch to cash compensation instead.
$Microsoft(MSFT)$and $Apple(AAPL)$both have excellent cash flow and future-proofed products (eg. cloud) in the pipeline. Even if they drop because of other Tech stocks, they'll have better chances to rebound.
Every Seeking Alpha article about $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$reads like a paid advertisement. 0% objectivity and 100% blind faith in Alex Karp. Seeking Alpha needs better writers because they are a laughing stock right now.
