$Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 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

Tesla Pullback: Examining the Drop in TSLA Stock

Tesla Motors (TSLA) closed at $440.13, marking an 8.28% drop compared to the previous day. This notable decline may be attributed to external macroeconomic factors, specifically the Federal Reserve's recent release of a hawkish stance on 2025 rate cuts. While this has no direct connection to Tesla's internal operations or financial performance, the broader economic implications could indirectly affect the company's valuation. Tesla Motors (TSLA) What Does a Hawkish Stance Mean? The Federal Reserve's hawkish outlook suggests lower expectations for rate cuts in 2025 and the potential for tighter monetary policies for a longer period. With current interest rates already at elevated levels, investors may find other assets, such as fixed-income securities or dividend-yielding stocks, more attra

Market Plunges on Fed Stance: Buy the Dip or Sell the Top?

Market Plunges on Fed Stance: Buy the Dip or Sell the Top? The financial markets faced a sharp decline yesterday after the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut while signaling only two rate cuts in 2025. This revelation, seen as less dovish than many anticipated, unsettled investors and triggered a significant selloff. As the S&P 500 and other major indices dipped, the pressing question remains: should investors buy the dip, or is it wiser to sell into any rebounds? Market Sentiment and Reaction The immediate market reaction underscores the sensitivity of investors to Fed policy changes. However, it's worth noting that markets often take time to fully digest the implications of such announcements. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which tracks the performance of the

Why I Am Not Selling Occidental (OXY)

$Occidental(OXY)$ 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

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

How to Choose Which Stocks to Watch Today

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

I opened $Occidental(OXY)$  ,I opened $Occidental(OXY)$  ,I opened $Occidental(OXY)$  ,I repurchased OXY today after its price fell perhaps partly due to Occidental's announcement that Ecopetrol will not acquire a stake in Crownrock assets. This development doesn't seem significant to me, given Occidental's strong fundamentals. The post-market earnings report is due next week. While I hope to sell before the earnings release, I am comfortable holding onto the stock since there's always a chance that the earnings might be positive.
