Replying to @koolgal:Congrats to everyone out there who has been making good fortune this year. Christmas is around the corner n yes of course Santa Rally is indeed happening haha hoho ๐//@koolgal:๐๐๐December may tease us with a Santa Rally but my sleigh is powered by discipline. Dollar cost averaging isn't glamorous. It is like taking my daily dose of vitamins. I may not notice the difference daily but overtime the magic of compounding happens. So I will keep adding to $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPYM)$ and yes,
Replying to @koolgal:Haha well said Koolgal ๐๐ป. We just need to learn to be humble haha//@koolgal:๐๐๐If the stock market is a classroom, I would be a student who got smacked with the ruler of reality more than once & laughed about it later. I learn that holding onto a sinking stock is like clinging to a leaky inflatable float in the ocean. Eventually you will sink. Turns out "all in" is a poker move, not an investing strategy. I chased hype once. It was like running after an ice cream truck only to realise it was selling kale. The market taught me that pretending to understand biotech or crypto tokenomics is like nodding along a Shakespeare play. You cl
Replying to @koolgal:U r a saint Koolgal!! ๐๐ป๐๐ป//@koolgal:๐๐๐I am a long term turtle, armored in conviction and powered by spreadsheets. I don't chase pumps. I outlive them. I don't fear dips. I marinate in them. I don't sell. I hibernate through Bear markets, sipping coffee and whispering "diamond hands forever". I don't YOLO into meme coins or swing trade on vibes. I am not here for roulette. I am here for compound interest and quiet glory. I don't meditate on market cycles and chant "this too shall pass". My Turtle Creed? I buy with conviction, not convenience. I hold through chaos, not comfort. I am the Turtle, not the hare, not the monk, nor the
Replying to @koolgal:Haha same. Iโm just holding on to my losing stocks. One fine day when my portfolio is big enough tat I don feel anything to realize the losses, then only I might cut haha. For now, Iโm just ignoring it n moving on ๐ //@koolgal:Top Glove is My Bagholder Badge of Honour. I am down 90%. That is not a typo. That is a latex laced lesson in humility. A bagholder is someone who clings to a stock long after its glory days are gone, watching it tumble while whispering sweet nothings like maybe it will bounce. It is the financial equivalent of holding the bouquet after the wedding has been called off. I was that person. I believed in Top Glove. I
Replying to @koolgal:Wow. Wat a wonderful day for Singaporeans! Wishing my neighbors a prosperous n lovely days ahead! Go Singapore ๐ช๐๐ป//@koolgal:๐๐๐There is something magical about walking the Bay Discovery Trail this National Day. Together with my family, every step along the beautiful Marina Bay's shimmering waterfront, we will feel the heartbeat of a nation - Young, Bold and Strong. Local crafts sparkle with hands that built our communities, while traditional games echo the laughter of generations past. This isn't just an ordinary trail. It is the living tapestry of the Singapore spirit. My family and I hope to be among the first 5,000 adventurers to complete
Replying to @koolgal:Congrats koolgal ๐. Sadly I sold mine ๐ญ. But Iโll take it with a 48% gain ๐. Till next time Nvidiaโฆ..//@koolgal:๐๐๐Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The first ๐company to reach USD 4 Trillion! I am up 36%. I didn't need a crystal ball. I just read the future in CUDA codes! Wall Street whispered "It's impossible". Nvidia obliterated the whisper with a USD 4 Trillion cannon blast heard right across the markets. ๐ฅ๐ฅ This isn't just a stock. Nvidia is a legend. From gaming GPUs to reshaping industries, it didn't just ride the AI wave, it forged its way to a historical high!
Replying to @koolgal:Yeah, I would c it as an opportunity to grab cheaper prices. Be patient n reward will fruit later. Dca is the key ๐//@koolgal:๐๐๐In times of global uncertainty, strategic investing becomes more critical than ever. With the escating Israel Iran conflict shaking the markets, should we sell in panic or seize the opportunity to buy the dip? As for me, I would continue to stay invested by dollar cost averaging into SPLG and IAU ETFs. $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ tracks the S&P500 Index, offering broad exposure to the best and strongest US Large Cap stocks. It has a low expense ratio
Replying to @koolgal:Absolutely on spot Koolgal ๐๐ป. Iโm still holding some Topglove too unfortunately ๐ญ//@koolgal:Dumpling or Dumping - Top Glove $Top Glove(BVA.SI)$ journey from Covid Darling to Disaster. At the height of pandemic, Top Glove was the perfect dumpling, a meticulously crafted symbol of hope. In a time of unprecedented need, its products were as essential as each ingredient in a lovingly prepared dumpling. Every glove was a promise of safety. Yet behind that gleaming facade, a disastrous trade was set in motion. To meet soaring global demand, TopGlove opted for a cut price recipe that sacrificed its core values. Lik
Replying to @koolgal:R u serious? I thought is in Singapore?//@koolgal:๐๐๐I have always wanted to visit the headquarters of $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ and TigerAI told me that it located in Beijing, the capital city of China. Spring time in Beijing must be a beautiful sight to behold. I wonder if I can catch the cherry blossoms while trekking the Great Wall of China in May. Perhaps I can walk along the ancient corridors of the Forbidden Palace too. Most of all, I would like to say hello to all the hardworking staff at Tiger Brokers Beijing like @TigerEvents
Replying to @koolgal:I would say โsorry boss OR thank you bossโ, for the stock market indeed is a boss to every investors n traders ๐//@koolgal:๐๐๐If the Stock Market is a person, I would say Mr Stock Market is someone who has a Bipolar Disorder๐คฃ He is subject to extreme mood swings from Happy, Optimistic to Sad, Depressed and Pessimistic. However it is important to recognise that Mr Stock Market is the end result of the action of millions of investors who trade daily. I would say to Mr Stock Market , "Please be calm and nice to me and let all my stocks be winners". "Otherwise I will send you for further medical treatment ."๐๐๐
Replying to @koolgal:I wish Koolgal a health n wealth good year 2025!! //@koolgal:๐๐๐As we wait with great anticipation the arrival of Spring Festival, it is a time to celebrate fresh beginnings and set new goals. It is also a busy time to do a thorough spring cleaning of my home as well as buying Chinese New Year goodies. My Top favourite snack is Pineapple Tarts - the kind that melt in my mouth - sweet pineapple filling with contrasting saltishness from the short crust pastry. Simply heavenly!๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ Pineapple Tarts or "Ong Lai" in Hokkien dialect means "Fortune is Coming". My wish this Lunar New Year is that God of Good Fortune will smile on all my Dear Tiger Frie
Replying to @koolgal:Happy Lunar New Year coming ahead! FIRING into a better year n nearer to FIRE, wishing everyone here ๐๐๐งง//@koolgal:๐๐๐Christmas is about Hope and Optimism. Creating a special Christmas tree with my goal of FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early, helps me to reinforce it even more. First I believe in myself, then I set my goal of FIRE. This is followed by a plan and after that it is action time! Finally Success! I call this Christmas Tree, My Wishing Tree of Belief and Hope. May All My Dear Tiger Friends Have Their Dreans Come True This Christmas. May The New Year Bring Forth Great Success
Replying to @koolgal:Well Iโve voted for koolgal n JC888. Good luck to all ๐๐ป//@koolgal:๐๐๐@TigerEvents It is such an honour and privilege to be on the Nominee List for 2024 Most Popular Tigers. There are so many talented Tiger Friends who have generously shared their knowledge and expertise in investing throughout 2024.

Thank you to Koolgal too for virtually inviting us for a Thanksgiving meal, but I think everyone here should really thank the US stock market for a fruitful 2024 year ๐. N tiger broker as our reliable brokerage platform ๐
Replying to @koolgal:Well, I would dedicate the song โyouโre simply the bestโ by Tina Turner to Koolgal ๐ (if tats the title haha)//@koolgal:๐๐๐The Song That Is Perfect for my investment in Tiger Brokers $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ is called "EYE OF THE TIGER". This was the theme song for the movie ROCKY which I have specially curated to show my belief in Tiger Brokers, my favourite broker : It's the Eye of the Tiger, it's the thrill of my stock. Rising up to the challenge, It's the Eye of the Tiger, rising up, straight to the top Have the power, got the glory Went the distance, now Tiger is not gonna stop What a great company
Replying to @koolgal:Well I bought quite some reits this year, I would consider those r my best buys for this year though ๐//@koolgal:๐๐๐There is one gadget that I use daily, in fact umpteen times a day and that is my Oppo mobile phone which I bought this year. Me and my Oppo A98 mobile phone are inseparable. I would have withdrawal symptoms if we are ever parted. So if you ask me what is my best buy of the year? - It is definitely my new Oppo Mobile Phone! @icycrystal @Shyon @GoodLife99
Replying to @koolgal:FIRE FTW!! Happy weekend my fren ๐//@koolgal:๐๐๐I would continue to do what I love doing best - and that is to live life to the fullest, savour every experience from learning to invest, making progress in achieving my goal of FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early and seeing the world! Just simply enjoying every moment of my life! @TigerEvents
Replying to @koolgal:Even staying at home is a vacation for me, as long as I have my loved ones, a nice cup of coffee n Netflix ๐//@koolgal:๐๐๐Gold Coast, Queensland Australia is my absolute favourite city. That is simply because it offers a myriad of attractions from the beautiful pristine beaches like Surfers Paradise with white sands where I can just walk along the seashore to Theme Parks such as Seaworld Resort, Dream World to Currumbin Sanctuary where I can cuddle cute koala bears. Then there is the majestic Tambourine Mountains where I can sip wine at one of the local wineries or go for hikes. Say Good Day to friendly Aussies and enjoy the best a
Replying to @koolgal:Stocks r always better than properties!! //@koolgal:๐๐๐The recent rate cut of 0.5% by the Feds has resulted in a sizzling hot market. The market monitor in my Tiger App has been working overtime with many of my stocks and ETFs hitting 52 week high. My strategy is simple - Buy and Hold Index ETFs and Quality stocks long term and allow the magic of compounding to unfold. A good example is my ETF $SPDR Portfolio S&P 1500 Composite Stock Market ETF(SPTM)$ which tracks the best US Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap stocks in just 1 trade. It is currently up 33%! I believe that the stock mark
