When market crashes, it's either a boon or bane for investors. For the former, investors take the opportunity to purchase new or accumulate more of their stocks which they have strong convictions in. As for the latter, its a doomsday for them.As for me, I belonged to the former school of thought. It's time to deploy my 'dry powder' in phases to my current stocks (US/SG stocks). For my ETFs and crypto, I've been DCAing continuously.I always remember this 2 quotes which I came across in youtube which motivates me in my investment journey.i) Bull market makes one rich whereas bear market makes one wealthy.ii) Recession makes new millionaires always..

Since the start of this year, as far as my stocks (US and SG) are concerned, they are still showing vertical 'bed of roses'. I'm unfazed by this as I focus on my goals to achieve before taking any position in the stock market. As my investment journey is for the long haul, this period of downtrend which is commonly referred as 'bear market' makes me unperturbed. In fact, I'm thrilled as I can gradually increase my positions in the stocks by scooping them every now and then. Besides stocks, I have ETFs and a bit of crypto to diversify my portfolio. For me this journey of long investment for the next 10 to 20 years alleviate the biggest enemy in me and that is feelings of anxiety, fear and panic when investments plummet like in the current moment.

$Opendoor Technologies Inc(OPEN)$  The housing market will bounce back in the US. The home-selling process will become increasingly digitized. Opendoor won't go bankrupt. The company has a massive first-mover advantage in creating the marketplace for digitally buying and selling homes.  Furthermore, the stock is ridiculously undervalued at 0.1X sales. Yes, OPEN has been a falling knife and a huge loser but it's a winning company with a winning technology platform.  With strong conviction, I believe the stock will soon stage a generational comeback. Thus, I'm buying the dip. @CaptainTiger@TigerStars

$Apple(AAPL)$Over the years despite $Apple(AAPL)$ increasing the prices of its various products, consumers are still buying them. Why?  One may say is due to its brand name. I think it's due to many factors such as being a quality product, provides various features, having a good ecosystem in providing convenience to users by connecting to its various products e.g smartwatch, iphone, ipad, etc.  Therefore, I feel that consumers will still purchase the increased prices of $Apple(AAPL)$ latest products as each new model brings better usage experience to them.

My favourite reward to redemn is the USD10 voucher. However, it had 'disappeared' recently. I've suggested last year  to Tiger Brokers to introduce more stock vouchers in different denominations like USD20, USD30 , USD50,etc and merchandises (which lacks significantly). Hopefully, more choices will be introduce for us (users) this year to redemn more great rewards

I intend to stock up more of  $Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF(METV)$and $United Microelectronics(UMC)$today since they are more cheaper than I initially bought and yes $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$too..I have strong convictions that the above stocks will do good in later part of this year and years to come. 

$Apple(AAPL)$Apple is a little bullish now . However, I think it will decline in it's prices over the next coming weeks and months till end of the year. It's a no brainer to crack whether one should buy Apple stocks or not as it has great company fundamentals with huge moat and not forgetting its ecosystem which makes switching cost difficult. The 'negativity' issues encompassing Apple like Iphone productions, possible decline in earnings by Oct are nothing but 'noises' which are temporary.  In fact, this 'noises' are to my advantage as it will cause further decline in its stock prices. I'm waiting to accumulate more of it in tranches once it goes below of my desired price tag of $130.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$One of  FAANG stock price has plunged since its latest earnings was announced. Trick or treat?

Investors have been bearish on stocks for most of 2022, but sentiment is shifting on Wall Street. • Recently, Bank of America said that a 'buy' signal is close to flashing its indicators for the first time in 5+ years. The bank thinks that now, the markets have already priced in a recession. What does that mean? When Wall Street is bearish on stocks, that has historically been a positive sign for future returns.  Contrarian: It often pays (literally) to take the opposite side of a trade when bullish or bearish sentiment among investors hits an extreme level. Contrarian investing is the basis behind Warren Buffet's famous quote: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." Beware: There are PLENTY of  fa

Since I join Tiger brokers, my experience has been good so far. Nevertheless, more improvement can be made to make one's experiences more enjoyable. Below are some of my suggestions that Tiger brokers can consider to implement in the near future.i) Free commision trades for US stocksii) Introduce Tiger merchandises so that users can redemn them using reward points.iii) Have more options to redemn stock vouchers using reward points e.g US/SG$20, US/SG$30, US/SG$50, US/SG$100.

I'll buy Nvidia below $100. At the current price of around $120, I think it's at a fair value. Thus, I'm being patience for the dip at my desired price before I start my position.

It's difficult to bet which semiconductor stock will be the best bet amongst the others. Alas, I have firm believe that $Texas Instruments(TXN)$will have a good run this year. Though semiconductor stocks are down now, its products are in great demand for various equipments.
