It is not easy to decide whether a buy opportunity or value trap after Apple's recent dip. Not Apple fan anyway and can wait for other opportunities.

Have been watching SG banks rising and no chance to buy back more after taking some profits. Patience tested.

Not chasing silver as it is more volatile than gold.

Google and Apple are quite different big technology companies. Google has become more valuable largely due to its progress in AI.

Not taking risks to chase highs. Wait for dips to buy with limited funds.

Usual to expect pullback after hit high and think overall still bullish.

Glad to see new highs for DBS and OCBC, waiting for UOB to catch up.

Optimistic for gold to reach $5000 as apparently more buying gold bars and coins for investment and wealth preservation.

Rally is charging forward. There may be some who sold off and have to buy back only to chase higher. Cautious on high volatility with FOMO.

Not so optimistic that Tesla's rally at start of year can continue as have seen more and more BYD EV cars around.

Warren Buffett steps down after 60 years, leaving legacy and wisdom as Berkshire entersnew era. There will be anxiety as uncertainty looms with his successor takes over.

2026 started with market rally and possibly could look forward to positive full year returns with so called January effect.

Apparent market interest shifting beyond AI in 2025 to Space in 2026.

Not really truly "understand" candlestick charts. Easiest start was C. When I realized long bullish candles show momentum (honestly, sometimes it's still intuition). Uncertain on Doji.

Sum up 2025: invest and keep growing Goal for 2026: year of harvest and growth

Market is really unpredictable: Earlier 2025, see red all over but later, rallied back fast. No million dollars dream but enjoying the greenery now.

Too quick to take some profits but no chance to buy back on dips. Lesson learnt is to have holding discipline with the potential stocks got on watchlist.

Yes, important lesson: getting the direction right does not automatically translate into profits. Position sizing and holding discipline ultimately determine whether returns can truly be realized.
