I agree that the Singapore Stock market has seen lack lustre volumes. Infact Reits that Singapore has once pride itself as one of the best exchange to invest in has grossly underperformed to the extent that the dividend received even those exceeding 5% does not compensate for the loss in value of the reits. Some of the reits even lost their value to pre-Covid prices or even IPO prices. These are reits like Mapletree Industrial, Mapletree Pan Asia even Capitaland China, to cite a few examples. It is arguably better off to just leave your money in fixed deposits which yield higher return without the risk of loosing the principal value of investment. It is also worth noting that the shares of prime blue chips listed on the SGX like City devt, has lost at least
Singapore Ready to Make "Bold Changes" to Revive Stock Market
$SPY 20240202 488.0 PUT$ Market has been at all time high due to the optimistic sentiment that Powell will cut rates 0,25% in March. I know this is not forthcoming-so I placed the put option & wow in a few hours Powell did not dissaponts with a no rate cut & the market took a nose dive. I made 75% on the spy! Thank you Mr Powell !!!
There must be some reasons why Google slumped despite beating targets. Due consideration should be given not only to Google performance per se but that in comparison to its competitors in industry, especially to a variable that is placed of high importance like the cloud business. No doubt Google has increased 20% in this area but I think performance should be compared to its rival microsoft who also beat earnings estimate yet the share price increased post market as I think mainly due to its cloud businesss that jumped 29% in the quarter beating wall street estimate of 27%.
Alphabet Stock Tumbles: This Is A Buying Opportunity?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ I am a Long Term TSLA bull. There are many critics saying that TSLA PE ratio is overvalued now at 64.72. However as we know TSLA is a growth company as such the sales to earnings ratio is more accurate in valuing the company which currently stands at only 8.48 times that of sales. Also TSLA is the most profitable EV company in the industry. It has a strong earnings performance growth and has a stable 5 year earnings trend. See table below: 5-Year EPS 12/18 12/19 12/20 12/22 12/22 EPS -0.44 -0.02 0.61 1.68
Dear Tiger GPT @TigerGpt TigerGPT How many points did the market lost in September as indicated by the S & P? The companies are reporting earnings in the coming weeks, based on the financial data, do you think that this will potentially lift the current market to a rally?
Gambling is merely betting or taking chance on the outcome which is uncertain. On the surface trading ODTE (0 day option expiring in same day as placing the contract) options is akin to gambling, but I beg to differ especially for the trader who is well informed and make calculated risks before placing the order. Let me elaborate. Trading Options whether the expiry is ODTE or a couple of years, involves chance, where the outcome is based on probabilities, the outcome of which regardless of time expiry is beyond control. However one can choose carefully the underlying stock, the related data on the stock like its implied votality, the liquidity of the stock based on volumes traded and also if the stock is prone to be shorted. All these data is readily available whether you place a ODT
#Options Strategy Test Feedback Dear tiger Kindly consider the following in multi leg strategy: 1) Time is of essence especially for fast trades. With regards to editing a trade already submitted in a multi-legs option, it would be most helpful if I can retrieve the trade & do an edit or have a "place a similar trade button " rather than need to redo the whole trade again. I don't seem to see this option in the app currently. 2) Does the app allow placing multi-legs trade on SPX? It seems I cant fo this wIth the app currently. 3) It would also helps to have a "roll" button for the same option at a further date in the future with options to select time frame or to roll "down/up" the strike price using the same expiry date rather than
I am not a believer of buy low & sell high. The chance of profiting on this adage is at most highly uncertain if not low. Even as an accountant we believe in getting the value you pay for- in other words you don’t expect to benefit more than what you paid especially in this technology driven era where market is almost perfect & information is readily available to all, price will eventually adjust itself. Take the stock market for instance, stocks that sell at low price from my years of experience in stock market will drives lower, of course there are exceptions like flash negative news that is circumstantial which eventually the price will adjust itself. There are reasons why certain shares are battered more often than not due to the fundamentals of the company like the profitabili
$Apple(AAPL)$ Im such a fan of AAPL. Although ST looks like AAPL is at resistance & a bit stretched, LT many analysts increased their target price to $200-$230. On 19 July, AAPL spiked to $198 on news that they are also developing their own AI. This is the crux & there are many other projects that they are in. I believe AAPL can only go up going forward although ST may have some pull backs.
#Options Strategy Test I am now looking at the calendar spread strategy. I noted that the dates for calendar spread is pre-determined by a certain pre-set dates given by the system. If i have in mind the following buy call calendar spread strategy: AAPL 18 Aug/20 Oct $195, i am not able to find the expiry date of 18 Aug on the short leg side, the closest to my strategy is the preset date of 2 months interval of 4 Aug. See below: 1) Can i change the dates like placing on individual option rather than use a pre-set date given by the system? 2) Can I also change the strike price, instead of the traditional calendar, Im using a diagonal spread. Using the same example above, I now want to place a diagonal buy call spread as follows: AAPL buy call 20 Oct $195 AAPL sell call 18 Aug $200
First I applaud tiger for introducing this long needed multiple option strategy. First even before going to the strategy, ill let to say that the edit function is SLOW to update the limit price. Then the current pricing shows in one instance on 17 July is not accurate. Im attaching my pending order showing current price that is not accurate of $1.32 (exhibit 1) compared to other trading platform, the right trading price should have been $1.09 (exhibit 2) Is seen on the same time.
$AMZN 20230428 105.0 CALL$ I think this will be a haul for me. My guess that AMZN is the best this earnings week is spot on!!! I'm so happy for my darling stock after long wait, I believe AMZN is the heartbeat of the US market despite inflations, they have ways to combat the drop in traditional online sales to other areas like AI & also they are trudging into healthcare-(on the revenue side) not to mention that they have also engage in heavy cost cutting in the reduction of Labour costs. I haveyet to analyse the numbers in detail. My best wishes for future of AMZN & it's investors.
The huge drop in price to 52 week low of $101.81 gives an indication that TSLA will not meet earnings target. Although there are news that TSLA is investing in more giga factories, but the Q4 results will lag expectations as prices have been slashed in China & USA too. Although sales are expected to increase, the margin will suffer. Also there is a lot of negativities surrounding Ellon as seen by the legal action taken by TSLA's investors on Elon's tweet regarding TSLA's buyout. However the savings grace for TSLA going forward is that it is still the most popular EV in USA & still is the leader in the sector. I still believe TSLA will regain its former glory.
