$Bitwise Bitcoin ETF(BITB)$ and IBIT are my favourite ETFs for Bitcoin. I am quite comfortable using ETFs to invest in BTC, just like trading GLD ETF for my regular gold purchase. Though I wish that the expense ratio for precious metals and crypto ETFs can be eventually lowered to 0.10% range in the long run.

(1) LionGlobal SGD Enhanced Liquidity Fund. This fund is a super steady performer. Its performance chart is a nice upwards trending slope; no sudden downspikes (especially during March 2020) compared to many other similar funds available in the market. Currently, the projected yield is around 1.2%.(2) Singapore Savings Bonds. This should be any conversative person favourite instrument as it is virtually risk-free: AAA grade bond, redeemable at any time without any penalty. A limitation is the maximum amount is $200,000, which has improved from the previous $100,000 limit. Considering the current yield is around 2%, it is getting more attractive, especially with the current rising interest rate environment.(3) Cash management accounts by robo advisors. Tiger's Cash Plus is one such cash man

GOOG was my preferred pick over Amazon because I used Google frequently, but have never engaged in Amazon services. However, I think Amazon has potential to tap deeper into Asian markets.

SEA Ltd, like many conglomerates, seems to be an elusive & hard to comprehend stock. From an all time high of $372.70 to the current depressed share price of $70.33, SEA is indeed worth a serious consideration to many buy and hold investor. The top potential segments of SEA is probably the e-commerce(Shopee), and digital gaming(Garena).1. Shopee is probably the most important business of SEA. The e-commerce market's potential is vast, and Shopee's will to expand beyond Asia is evident. Not to mention Shopee still has potential to tap into the digital payment/wallet market, as well as "Buy now pay later". A personal preference for Shopee's e-wallet ShopeePay is that it should remove the $1 topup fee via credit/debit card. Another suggestion is that it can reward Shopee coins (acting as

🎁 My ideal Xmas stock present is $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$  . Berkshire Hathaway is my special pick: it is as diversified as an equity ETF, but yet it is a stock on its own, so there isn't expense ratio & management fee associated with typical ETFs.  In addition, Mr Buffett is my investment role model and I trust his judgement and investing philosophies. I am comfortable with BRK.B major stock holdings such as Apple, Bank of America, American Express and Kraft Heinz. We should also remember that Berkshire Hathaway also owns businesses in insurance and manufacturing. This Christmas, let's celebrate and embrace a better new year ahead.

My most memorable investment in the first quarter of 2022 is purchase of AAPL in January, before the Tiger Lunar New Year. It was an auspicious move as the bright RED apple is a main motivational factor to me. My return for the first quarter of 2022 is slightly positive, although I am thinking that a deeper correction is good for investors waiting for entry into quality/solid companies. Otherwise, I think it is safer to remain cautiously optimistic. My 2022 investment plan remains unchanged, DCA small amounts, and into ETFs for the diversification. However, I am currently interested in the 5Y SGS bonds. If the projected yield can hit 2.5% for 5Y SGS bonds, I will take part in the May 2022 auction.

Some of us may be aware that we can arrange Standing Instructions (eg: DBS ibanking) to set-up automatic recurring fixed amount of fund transfers.Such recurring transfers are useful if you need to give fixed monthly allowance to parents, fund your certain bank accounts for scheduled GIRO deductions, or to fund your robo investments.However, standing instructions are usually only available on a monthly basis, for example on the 10th of every month (or quarterly basis, annually basis etc). This means DAILY (or weekly) standing instructions is currently unavailable for most banks, or within robo advisors' platform (eg: using your robo's cash management account to transfer recurring amounts to your portfolios/goals).[Small 'trick'/solution]If you intend to fund your robo investment account(or

My 2023 first trade was $Microsoft(MSFT)$ . This is my maiden first trade in Microsoft, on 4 Jan 2023 when this mega software giant crashed ~5%. I have always wanted to invest in it when it hovers around $250; so at ~$228, I decided to DCA into fractional share. Microsoft is a stock that I am hoping to see in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio soon, as we can see Mr Buffett is confident in Amazon, although the stake is relatively small.

$Apple(AAPL)$ is certainly a lovable stock, just like a great fruit recommended for everyone's daily consumption.  Having Apple as a main component of one's tech portfolio is a stable strategy, and the confidence in AAPL is enhanced as it is also Berkshire Hathaway's top stock holding.  I always remember Mr Buffett's wise words in year 2020, that "Apple is probably the best business I know in the world". This is good to be prudent to be not overly exposed to any single stock, so one can also consider other mega tech stocks such as Microsoft and Alphabet to build a resilient tech portfolio. I believe it is worthwhile to consider DCA into quality tech stocks upon major price weaknesses, especially so wit

Tiger Auto-Invest is a timely initiative that gels perfectly with the other Tiger's features:- ●Tiger Vault offers USD MMF which can invest our USD cash for attractive yield while waiting for deployment of funds into Auto-Invest. ●Tiger's new Fractional Shares investing made Auto-Invest possible with just USD 5. ●Tiger currently offers more than 700 US ETF/Stocks for Auto-Investing, and there is filtering option to select our classes of desired stocks/ETF. Low cost (eg: $1, $5) auto-investing is a relatively new form of investment offered by robo-advisors and neo-brokers, and is suitable and affordable for almost all types of investors. And now with fractional shares investment directly into individual US stocks, we can avoid high expense/cost associated with other unit trust funds.

2022 Investing Review Investment Performance in 2022: My overall equity performance is negative. DCA'ing in ETFs help in buying the dip, but earlier investments in H1'2022 are in the red.  My Top Loss is ZIM Intergrated Shipping; this is somewhat my first 'confident' attempt in US small/mid cap. I believe many followers of ZIM are attracted to its high dividend payout, but we ought to be mindful of withholding tax, and the volatility of small/mid caps.  My Most Successful trade would be venturing into Money Market Funds. I used to like Short-term Bond funds, but was caught in Fed's aggressive rate hikes. Like many conservative investors, MMF's great liquidity with bond-like high yield boosted my overall returns and compensated for my paper loss in equities. In addition, SGD money

Cristiano Ronaldo is like $Nike(NKE)$  . Ronaldo projects a vigor and youthful image, very much like the ever popular Nike's positive and well-liked sporting brand. Indeed, Nike always has good foresight as Michael Jordan was also a star sportsman with big endorsement from Nike. Nike's "Consumer Direct Acceleration" strategy to sell directly to its fans and customers through its physical stores and digitally online, is a modern and smart move. This is very much like Ronaldo, who plays the Forward, breakthroughs and brave leaps forward are so important and the keys to success. I am happy for Ronaldo for being awarded a lifetime contract from Nike in 2016, and as his fan, I see the Nike Swoosh looking superb & stunning on his jersey.

My Tiger Story1. Why did I choose Tiger?Tiger has an attractive app, featuring the Tiger's tail, which is very daring and unique. Tiger Brokers has the many important features such as a good watchlist, interactive community, relevant news and user friendly trading. The Tiger mascot graphics are funny, cute and brighten up the app. Tiger is very generous to offer sign-up perks, offer contests and campaigns, and award daily Tiger coins for completing various activities. The coins redemption also offer the highly popular stock vouchers. Overall, Tiger has exceeded my expectation of a Broker.2. What was my first post?My first memorable post was in April 2022, whereby I shared my Q1 2022 investments made, my returns for Q1 2022, and my investment plan for the rest of the year. I am still sticki

[Review 🔴 2023 Q1] [1] 1Q 2023 most successful investment: Money Market Funds (Fullerton SGD and USD). [2] 1Q 2023 performance: Positive gains from MMF; slight gain from SGX stocks. [3] Learning: The banking crisis has led to investors questioning what is really safe, since banks appear not as safe as we thought. But the banks cannot crash because it will be a nightmare to imagine people carrying cash around, and businesses needing to transport bags of cash to offices and workplaces to settle day to day payments, not to mention the tediousness and stress to count the huge stack of money. Gold is a good hedge but it is hovering around all time high. Crypto bullishness is understandable since bank deposits, especially for small banks, is not as safe as before. Since MMF is liquid and yi

The rising interest rate environment is both a risk and opportunity to bond lovers. Regardless of different economic conditions or investing climates, having non-equity investment is almost certainly a must in every investor's portfolio, such as precious metals, commodities, traditional fixed deposits, and bonds.When it comes to bonds investing, there is, however a very important distinction between Bonds ETF and Bonds: Maturity Date. A bond ETF, such MBH (Nikko AM SGD Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF) has no maturity date; which means once a buy-and-hold investor purchases this bond ETF, the investment will perpetually remain in his portfolio, until he decides to sell it away in future (with possibility of selling at a loss). Whereas, for individual bonds, such as retail bond (TEKB - T

Tiger Vault is a safe vault for my idle funds. I choose the Fullerton SGD and USD cash funds to park my Tiger Vault funds. Great thanks to Tiger for the 9.9% (Sep), 10% (Oct), and 11% (Nov) vouchers. The auto-sweep feature is a perfect add-on, and managing it is simple and efficient. One suggestion: for fund's Position P&L, hope that users can see the daily returns upon clicking each individual funds. Currently, upon clicking each fund, the page will be re-directed to the fund's profile page.

Apple's ( $Apple(AAPL)$) earnings top highlight is probably its gross profit margin of more than 42%. This is very impressive considering the current tough economic environment, and in comparison against other tech giants' (such as Alphabet and Amazon) recent earnings reports. It is also worthwhile to mention that Apple has beaten EPS estimates for the past 4 quarters. Overall, AAPL did not let its faithful investors down, and its bullish share price (as of 28 Oct 2022) instil confidence in the current depressing stock market. As a long term believer of AAPL, I will be keen to accumulate and hold this darling stock at US$138 - 140. @TigerStars
