[Positive Guidance? Or Stay Positive?] Forcasting the future for postive earnings for$Microsoft(MSFT)$  or$Alphabet(GOOGL)$  on the short term is about as easy as predicting who will win the next Singaporean Gold medal. And as$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$  has shown, postive earnings can still translate to market madness and crashing leading to more opportunities for the uninvested. (Not a recommendation). I am thinking that on the long run, earnings will be possible for BOTH MSFT and GOOGL. Here's why. MSFT case I have been impressed by MSFT to be consistently embedded into so many PCs and Laptop

[Work or Investing???] How to make 1 million? Well the easiest method that happened to me when i held, not just 1 million, but MILLIONS on my hand and I felt super nervous at the people around me. How is it possible? Well I was a student at that time and I changed my SGD to Vietnamese Dong. So I had Millions of Dong on my hand.[Cool]   Jokes aside, why limit yourself to Working or Investing? WorkIng to Millions Well working to Millions as an Employee seems only privileged to a certain few. With the median income in Singapore at $5k+, it'll take almost an eternity to hit one million purely by employment. The exception however, would be if you are: 1. Working at the C suite or as a CEO like for example$DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ 

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$   [AI Wars continues] The AI wars continues as Meta releases its Llama3 into WhatsApp Facebook and instagram and I must say I am impressed. Recently, Alphabet mentioned that it's Gemini 1.5 outpaced ChatGPT 8x in one article and I was itching to get it. However with Llama3 outpacing Gemini1.5, it looks like the crazy AI race has just began. The upside 🚀 With now 5 AI tools in my phone (including Tiger AI) and 2 fully paid AI in my workplace, I can imagine the crazy speed of how things will evolve in the next 3-5 years. My work administration clearing of emails and text is significantly reduced with Co-Pilot. ChatGPT impressed me with travel itinerary planning recently for my upcoming

Fear is good. Extreme fear better to start picking up great undervalued stocks to compound over a long period. Time to load bullets furiously and practice patience. Meanwhile, review yoyr target boards and get ready to aim before firing! [Grin][Grin][Grin]

This just a wild guess not to be traded on. I am thinking that S&P500 will hold above 5000. Market will continue its bull run unless some major black swan occurs. Like if Israel declares war on Iran. Or if US UK and the allies decides to attack Iran. Then we will be seeing more bearish sentiment. [Glance]

“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill is an eternal classic. If you reflect on what he said, its THINK and grow rich. Not FEEL and grow rich or BET to grow rich. Its a classic worth more than every dollar for the book. Go get it or borrow it. [Grin][Grin][Grin]

Definately a J. [Grin] Joyful, Jovial, Jolly [Grin]

Eating good food with family will be my regular weekend activity. What about you friends? @daz88888888 @LMSunshine @melson @Bonta @GoodLife99 @SirBahamut [Grin]

Replying to @koolgal:Enjoy!!!//@koolgal:🌟🌟🌟I love to participate in group exercise classes in the gym.  It is fun and invigorating!  The best part is exercising with friends, sharing the warm and friendly atmosphere in my quest to keep fit. That's favourite way of spending my weekend.  The Joy of Movement With Friends! @TigerEvents

Based on a yearly expenditure of 60k, and a 4% gain in dividends, $1.5 mil would give me somewhat a better peace of mind. However this is a simple linear thinking as it does not include potential curve balls from life, including dependants, and luxuary travels. So save and invest more fellow Tigers!

Definately not an impulsive investor. Most of my investments are value and growth based that have been very thought through. Of course i might feel a little impulsive at rare times and go queue for the $10 million toto draw [LOL][Grin]

[Touching the virtual ground] $Microsoft(MSFT)$  Feeling bullish after I touched the virtual ground after I recently received my MS Co-Pilot licence within my new role in the company. I must say, it has been freakin amazing! The Good MS Co pilot allows me to read my emails and come up with a to do list in a matter of a few minutes of reading all my emails. It can record meetings and summarize and list all the tasks. It can scan your own internal drives and create, as well as utilise web material to co create. It creates a PowerPoint with visuals and content with the right prompts. And I could go on and on. And that is just one AI tool. I am convinced that AI is here to stay.

[Focus or Rebalance?] Recently during the bull run I have been reading and thinking hard about this topic as some of my investments have grown to occupy a >20% stake of my portfolio. Rebalancing is the way[Happy]   One of the people I learn from Mr Loo from 1M65 does rebalancing. Basically the concept is to sell your overweighted position, for example in stocks, and move into bonds. This strategy has its benefits. Firstly you get to take profit from your growing investments. Secondly, you get to rotate into another position that could benefit from a reversal. Lastly, a balanced portfolio with regular rebalancing can grow consistently. Focus is the way.[Cool]   Another person that I watch and learn from is Adam Khoo. He allocates a fixed percent of his portfolio initi

Its obvious that SG is a prime choice for investments as: 1. Its a stable economy 2. Corruption is low 3. More potential upside due to positive flywheel effect. On real estate prices, private property or commercial property prices are likely to trend up, with little effect on local HDB houses. What are your thoughts? [Grin]

Not yet achieved considerable wealth yet though i am proud to have achieved a multi bagger with Tiger! [Miser] With the uptrend of the S&P500 and local SG market, most of my investments are largely positive. [Grin] The greatest good fortune from wealth, comes from great health in 2023, (completing my full marathon for example), loving relationships with family and friends, and spiritual fulfilment.
