I voted for series 3 (MBTI Inspired Tiger) as it likely applies to more (& all) users than the other 2 series. More to collect too just like the blind boxes toys 😀

First half of 2025 has been the time that my convictio in options trading grew stronger to the extent that I've almost completed pivoted to it from shares trading. All things being equal, I've found options to be less subject to self-constructed volility than shares, since my emotions are kept in check by fixed expiration dates 🤭 Not only have I changed my trading preference from shares to options but I have also pivoted in terms of the sector of trade. AI is the buzzword right now and has naturally become my trade focus. Capitalizing on what the masses are crazy about has helped me accumulate gains to offset losses from trading in relatively less hot sectors such as energy and automobiles. I'm carrying the above strategy into H2 of 2025 since I don't foresee any changes to the market land

"Give the man a Tiger!" - If anyone remembers this tagline, then you're as old as me 😅 Congrats TIGR on your 10th Anniversary 🎉

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ the euphoria surrounding the stock that partially arose due to the US Fed's money printing antics back in 2020/21 is now being checked by macroeconomics reality - we'd would have to wait for an alleviation of the dour state of economy or the irrational behaviour of fanatic investors (whichever comes first) to see a return to 2021 stock price highs.

$VinFast Auto(VFS)$  As someone who has taken an interest in the EV sector, I had actually paid attention to VinFast early on and was wondering how I could invest in the company. Unfortunately, since that first time when my interest was piqued, macroeconomic conditions have not exactly been looking that great (e.g., rising interest rates, possibility of global economic recession, etc.) to date. So when it was announced that VFS was going public via a SPAC, my feelings were mixed - I was excited but extremely wary at the same time. Truth be told, I contemplated buying the SPAC stock before the merger but hesitated after seeing (& experiencing) what happened to Polestar which similarly went public via a SPAC - its va

If you've read my previous post on "The Truth About Investing - What I've Learned Since Sep 2021",  you will recall that my portfolio is currently worth 25-30% of what it was valued back in late 2021 when I first started serious investing in the stock market formally. Of course, every investor and trader will know that the dip in value of someone's portfolio currently may be attributed to rising interest rates (to tame inflation), which leads to concerns about the onset of economic recession. The peculiar thing about such a high interest rate environment is that typically good news such as a lower unemployment rate is taken negatively and the market trends downwards while typically bad news such as higher unemployment claims have the opposite effect. To season

Whilst I had dabbled in stocks/shares early, I only got into serious, formal investment in Sep 2021. For experienced investors and/or those with a keen eye, you'd have realized that my formal entry into the stock market happened around when the bull market was at its peak. At that time, any and every other stock one had put money into would result in a positive return - it didn't matter if the stock was a solid one like Google or a dubious one (I won't name names but think along the lines of some of the meme stocks out there). Euphoria was everywhere and everyone was swept away by it, me included. As much as I thought I had done DD in the stocks I bought, what was green in my portfolio in late 2021 started to turn red as 2022 came. Buying into the idea of investing rather than trading, I h

Always grateful for and enjoy such fun games that give us a chance to win prizes. Well done, TIGR! 👍🏻💯

Just as how the market was blind-sided by the Ukraine-Russia conflict, I think we all should keep an eye out for the once-again deteriorating US-China relations (in the wake of the Chinese weather balloon's intrusion into US airspace), apart from just looking at US economic data & the Fed's next move in terms of monetary policies. US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken has just cancelled/postponed a scheduled trip to Beijing in Feb 2023 after calling the airspace intrusion "irresponsible" (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/03/us-secretary-of-state-blinken-postpones-high-stakes-trip-to-china-after-us-discovers-suspected-spy-balloon-.html). Prior to this incident, it had been widely reported in various media outlets that US 4-star General, Mike Minihan, had predicted an open US-China conflict
