$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ As Singapore's National Day draws near, I'd like to extend a heartfelt early happy birthday to the nation. The anticipation for the celebrations is building and I am eagerly looking forward to watching the impressive fireworks display and the National Day Parade on TV. The parade is always a highlight, showcasing the unity of its people. In the spirit of celebrating Singapore's vibrant culture, I have been reflecting on my culinary skills. I have a deep love for local cuisine but I am still in the process of mastering the art of cooking. I am particularly excited about learning how to prepare some of Singapore's beloved dishes such as chicken rice, Hokkien mee, laska and roti prat

This year, my stock investment strategy has yielded a satisfactory performance overall, with a net profit across my portfolio. I have engaged in trading multiple bank stocks, specifically NYCB, FFWM, VLY, TBNK and CFFN. In addition to these financial sector investments, I have diversified by trading other stocks such as VTRS, ZIM and LSXMA. One of the key components of my portfolio is the TLT etf. Unlike many stocks that I traded on a short-term basis, I intend to hold TLT for the long term.  My confidence in the TLT etf is based on an expectation that its price will continue to increase, reflecting favourable conditions in the bond market. While most of my trades have been successful, my investment in VLY has underperformed this year. Despite its current poor performance, I am optimi

$Occidental(OXY)$ Berkshire Hathaway recently added more Occidental Petroleum (OXY) shares to its portfolio, paying between $45.5458 and $46.9172 per share.

The Nasdaq 100, which comprises the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, undergoes periodic adjustments based on market capitalization and other eligibility criteria. Palantir Technologies (PLTR), with its rising financial and stock performance, is a potential candidate for inclusion in the index.

$Occidental(OXY)$ As an investor in Occidental Petroleum (OXY), I have chosen to maintain my position in the company despite the recent volatility in its stock price. Below, I outline the reasons why I am not selling my shares and believe that holding on to OXY is the right decision in the current market environment: 1. OXY Appears Oversold One of the primary reasons I am not selling my Occidental shares is that I believe the stock is oversold. An oversold condition typically suggests that the market has overreacted to short-term news or sentiment, pushing the stock price below its intrinsic value. This creates an opportunity for long-term investors to purchase at a discount. While market fluctuations are a normal part of investing, the fundamental

On December 16th, former President Donald Trump spoke about the potential for US-China cooperation during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida. He stated, "China and the US can solve all the world's problems together. Think about it; it's important," emphasizing the significance of collaboration between the two global powers. Market Reaction: Following these remarks, both Hong Kong and Chinese stocks experienced modest gains. The response reflected optimism among some market participants about the possibility of improved US-China relations, which historically have had a significant influence on the performance of Chinese equities. However, the gains were relatively limited, underscoring a cautious attitude among investors. My Perspective: Despite the positive tone of these statement

Selecting the right stocks to monitor isn’t just about spotting trends; it requires understanding the why behind each decision. Here's a step-by-step approach to stock selection, complete with examples and explanations of why these factors are important. 1. Evaluate Net Income: Is the Company Profitable? Why It Matters: A company with positive net income is making a profit, which indicates financial health and a better chance of long-term survival. Negative net income suggests the company might be struggling, which increases risk. Example: Company A: Net income of -$50 million (negative) [Facepalm]. Company B: Net income of $100 million (positive) [USD]. Decision: I focus on Company B, as profitability shows the company is generating more revenue than expenses, a critical sign of stabilit
