POWELL HAS SPOKEN😨5 key points to note:1) Price stability is Fed's responsibility.2) Hence, inflation has to be beaten.3) Further measures such as higher rates might be introduced to enforce control.4) That can mean slowing economy, labour markets.5) Lastly, investors in the stock market will have to embrace the potential negative impact those measures might have on stock market.Fellow Tiger Investors, are you ready for what's to come? Invest Safe and stay invested for the long term! $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$@Daily_Discussion@TigerStars@MillionaireTiger

Hitting new 52 weeks Low! $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ This dip is largely led by the slumps in prices of big tech like Apple & more in the past trading day. Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedywhen others are fearful. In my opinion, the latter is playing out right now. And I am parking more cash into an enhanced DCA strategy now.  I am no psychic, I can't bottom the market. But this crash posed a great opportunity to scoop up great stocks and ETFs at a great discount.  Stay calm, stay invested. All the best! @TigerStars@Daily_Discussion

The Largest Industrial S-REIT Creating Waves!$ASCENDAS REAL ESTATE INV TRUST(A17U.SI)$has been making its investors really happy with its good performance in H1 2022. Improved occupancy rates, rental reversions and last but not least a growth in DPU!It is on track to deliver a 4.6% increase in DPU in2022. This is definitely a good news for investorsas now they stand to enjoy a better stream of dividend income from Ascendas REIT.So what is Ascendas REIT doing right to achieve such good results? It seems like the company has been making strategic acquisitions across the globe in the past year including but not limited to 11 data centres in Europe and 7 logistical properties in Chicago. This has largely contributed to its

$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$is an ETF tracking Straits Time Index closely. It is largely dominated by the BIGBOYS in the banking and real estate sectors - DBS, Ascendas REITS and more.So why should we be looking at $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$? By buying into this stock, you are instantly diversified in your SG portfolio at very relatively low expense ratio of ~0.3%. It also pays a relatively stable dividends of ~3%. Most importantly, this boring stock is NOT going to keep you awake at night. You are essentially buying a piece of Singapore economy and one thing for sure - it won't crash by 99% overnight😅 So fellow Tiger investors looking to add a position in STI ETF, you can potentially look at supplementing

$NIO Inc.(NIO)$Thoughts before earnings call!Due to delisting concerns, Nio has fallen more than 70% from its ATH stock price. Now that Chinaand US have taken the first big step to resolve the auditing concerns, delisting might no longer be a concern for Nio.Currently, analysts consensus estimates are tending towards the pessimistic end of 20 cents GAAP loss for Q2 earnings.However, based on Nio increasing growth and profitability, I won't be surprised if it exceeds expectations. And if it does on 7 Sep, we can expect to see a sharp increase in the stock price.Dear Tiger investors, buckle up and get ready foran exciting ride with Nio!@TigerStars

Yes, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ is up over 4% yesterday and is up over 3% for the week. So what exactly drove the price of the big tech up this week? 1) Inflation data released on Wednesday is showing signs of plateauing and this is a strong indicator of Fed next move on rate hikes. With lowering inflation pressures, rate hikes are likely to be slowed further and eventually reduced. This is a good news for tech stocks for sure and Alphabet is a beneficiary. 2) Alphabet's AI product - Bard is rolled out in international markets such as Brazil and Europe. Also, new features such as text to speech and new language capabilities are introduced. This is just the beginning in increasing user adoption of Bard. We can definit

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$  Staying long for the long term!

On top of revenue and earnings beat, what is keeping investors excited about $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ ?  Prior to 2023, Meta has been beaten down quite badly with its first reduction ever reported in the monthly active users base of FB. As the active user base starts to pick up in 2023, there has been a boost in the advertising revenue for the business as well. Furthermore, in my humble opinion, I really have to salute Zuckerberg's ability to make swift pivots in strategic direction to ensure the company stays relevant and competitive. Just awhile back, Facebook has been rebranded and renamed into Meta for the purpose of highlighting its intent to become a market leader in Metaverse. As profit

$Netflix(NFLX)$: Bid Goodbye to Uninterrupted Netflix Streaming😨If you are Netflix subscriber just like myself, the ad-free, I bet you will agree that uninterrupted streaming is one best thing subscribers love about Netflix. Unfortunately, having an ad-supported Netflix platform is inevitable as Netflix brings onboard 2 top executives with extensive experience around advertising.What will happen if Netflix start offering advertisement spaces on its streaming service? 3 personal guesses:1. It will look great revenue wise as Netflix establishes a new stream of income2. Disgruntled existing users getting interrupted in the middle of an exciting movie, and gradually lose interest in using Netflix.3. Deterring potential new users from subscribing

$YANGZIJIANG SHIPBLDG HLDGS LTD(BS6.SI)$Greener YZJ leading to Greener price today!So what's going on with YZJ today? The company has officially obtained the GTT license and it is the first ever private shipyard in China to achievethat. With this license, it can build large Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) vessels and it can start shipping LNG.This is a great enabler as the company embarkedon a green transition to combat climate change And eventually leads to net zero future.Proud of YZJ achievement and very excited for the opportunities ahead for YZJ!@TigerStars@Daily_Discussion

2023 YTD has been a panicky ride up for me! Having invested quite heavily into the market during Q4 2022 when the US market is in a technical recession, the fear of losing it all is definitely there. But always remember this quote from Warren Buffet: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. I am glad that I have put this into practice in the 2022 technical recession and have now reaped a small unrealized profit from it!  2023 is going to be an interesting year with different predictions floating around. "The next recession is coming H2 2023!" Or "The bull market has just started. Pump in money now!". Personally, I invest regularly regardless of the market direction. That being said, I do invest bigger amounts on months when the market is crashing.

$UNITED OVERSEAS BANK LIMITED(U11.SI)$With rising interest rates, Local banks are positioned to report potential good results in the coming earnings call. 

$SINGAPORE AIRLINES LTD(C6L.SI)$Time to buy?Financials have definitely improved for SIA lately due to increased passenger traffic. But it is still having a negative free cash flow, all thanks to the weaker first half of fiscal year 2022. As a result, the likelihood of near term dividend payout is close to none and this will likely persist until the FCF turns positive at the very least.Another factor weighing the business down is theimpact of inflation. High crude oil prices will affect operating costs adversely and inflation will likely reduce consumer discretionary spending eg. Travel if it persists.Personally, I feel that near term improved financials will help in stock price but looking at the macro-economic factors such a

An $Apple(AAPL)$a day, keeps the market losses away! Seems like Apple investors are making gains in the past 2 to 3 months, all thanks to better than expected sales and profits during the earnings announcement in July.So what is keeping Apple so resistant to tightened consumer spending?1) Product diversification - apart from their usualelectronics, they are ramping up on their serviceseg. Apple TV+, Apple Music, iCloud and more. This drives consumer stickiness to the brand as a whole. It also reduces the impact of decline in any product lines when it happens.2) Strong cash position - with a huge stash of cash sitting in the business, Apple can take advantage of good investment opportunities during such recessionary times.3) Relentless in

Chance of $Netflix(NFLX)$recovering back to itsprevious highs seems to be challenging with its loss of almost 1 million subs in Q2 2022. Moreover, $Walt Disney(DIS)$recently announced its subscriber count and it has officially overtaken Netflix.With all these glooming news befalling Netflix, it's not hard to believe why the stock price has fallen close to 70% today.As the entertainment industry involves, we see increased competition in the space from Disney, YouTube, Amazon Prime and more. To stay in the lead in this industry, it's of ultimate importance to keep up to speed to the latest consumer trends!Fellow Tiger Investors, are you team Netflix or team Disney or teams of other streaming c

Jeff Bezos no longer 2nd richest man?! $Amazon.com(AMZN)$Honestly, this doesn't mean a single thing to the fundamentals and performance of Amazon. Due to great fluctuation of stock prices especially techstocks in recent weeks, it is no doubt the wealth of these mega tech founders will swing in tandem too. After the panic and hype over interest rates, I ampretty sure these mega cap tech companies suchas Amazon will rise back up in stock prices or even overtake its previous highs. And when that happens, Jeff Bezos might not only take back his "2nd richest man" title, he might also overtake the number 1 spot😝@TigerStars

$FRASERS CENTREPOINT TRUST(J69U.SI)$ holds a portfolio of 10 well performing retail properties in Singapore. Many of which are familiar names such as Northpoint City and Causeway Point.  Why is FCT one of my favourite REITS? 1) The malls are well connected to our public transport and that helps to boost footfall. 2) The malls are strategically located in places with lower competing supply of retail space, hence providing more room for growth for the incumbents. 3) FCT focuses largely on essential services and that helps to upkeep resilience and stability of the REIT. This is to just name a few of the great reasons for my investment in FCT.  Looking back at its 1H2023 performance, it has not disappointed Investors as well. Gross r

$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ once again didn't disappoint investors. It has reported quarterly profit that is almost twice the amount that analysts have expected. As a result, share price have skyrocketed around 9% post market. Amazon has further improved its delivery efficiency that led to faster goods turnaround time and at a lower cost incurred. This is definitely a great news for customers.  Furthermore, it is forecasted that Prime day that just took place recently will provide a spike in revenue for Amazon in the current quarter. As investors, we can expect more good news to come in the coming months! With that, please do your own diligence before investing in any stocks. Invest safe!
