Yesterday, I purchased shares of TSLQ at $16.61. Shortly after, the price dropped further, hitting a new 52-week low. Surprisingly, I don’t regret the decision. For context, TSLQ is a 2x inverse ETF that aims to deliver twice the opposite daily performance of Tesla’s stock (TSLA). So when TSLA goes up, TSLQ tends to fall—and vice versa. Tradr 2X Short TSLA Daily ETF (TSLQ) Yesterday, Tesla’s stock rallied significantly, but I remain bearish on the company’s outlook, and I see the recent rally as a short-term reaction, not a sustainable trend. Tesla Motors (TSLA) Why I’m Still Bearish on Tesla? Falling European Sales: The EV maker's sales in Europe have now declined for four consecutive months, a trend that shouldn't be ignored. Europe is a crucial market for EV adoption, and continued weak

Nvidia (NVDA) is set to report earnings on May 28, and the entire market is watching closely. With AI hype still running strong and Nvidia positioned as the undisputed leader in the tech space, the company's performance could significantly sway investor sentiment—not just in tech, but across the broader market. Expectations and Estimates For Q1, Nvidia is expected to slightly exceed the already forecast of $43 billion in revenue. Q2 revenue is projected to be flat or see modest growth, with market consensus around $44.6 billion. While this might sound uninspiring, many bulls are eyeing Q3 for a potential reacceleration. Key catalysts include: GB300 shipments The potential delivery of an enhanced Blackwell variant to China, which could open up incremental revenue streams despite regulatory

May has been... well, a disaster for me. While everyone else is out there celebrating green candles and new highs, I'm over here trying to convince myself that red is just another shade of green if you squint hard enough. Here's what I do when my portfolio is down: 1. The Magical Eye Icon: Out of Sight, Out of Mind The first thing I do is press that little eye icon in the app that hides my portfolio. Boom! Instant peace. It turns all my painful red positions into beautiful, meaningless asterisks. It's like putting a blanket over a ghost — technically, the problem's still there, but emotionally? Gone. Also, this is a selective operation: I hide the red positions. The green ones? I let them glow. Those stay visible. It's important to maintain morale. 2. Pretending I'm a Long-Term Visionary W

Nike (NYSE: NKE) is one of the standout names on my watchlist this month. The company needs little introduction—it’s a global leader in athletic footwear, apparel, and equipment. With products ranging from performance shoes to lifestyle apparel, the brand has built strong consumer loyalty. Owning a pair of Nike shoes personally, the quality and durability speak for themselves. But while the brand remains strong, the stock performance has lagged. Nike has underperformed broader indices this year, reflecting both company-specific challenges and broader market pressures. Nike hasn’t had a great run this year. Last week, it closed at $60.59, trading closer to the bottom of its 52-week range of $52.28 to $98.04. That decline has made it more interesting as a potential value pick, especially if

Over the past decade, we've witnessed remarkable financial stories unfold. Companies like Nvidia have skyrocketed over 30,000%, while early Bitcoin investors have seen returns beyond imagination. These aren’t just numbers; they are examples of what’s possible when conviction meets patience. In trading and investing, there’s a loud crowd that praises high-risk, high-reward strategies, especially options. But sometimes, the most powerful gains come not from complexity or speed, but from simply holding a good stock through time. That sounds easy, but if you’ve been in the market long enough, you know it’s anything but. When Holding Worked Back when I started investing, I used Webull. I didn’t know much. I just kept reading one thing: “Buy and hold through volatility.” So that’s what I did. I

Netflix (NFLX) has been a cornerstone of the streaming entertainment industry, boasting a vast library of original and licensed content that appeals to a global audience. As an avid fan of Netflix shows, I find their offerings highly engaging and diverse, catering to various tastes and preferences. The company has built a strong brand reputation, and its products are in high demand, making it a reliable source of entertainment for millions worldwide.

On May 3, the 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting will take place in Omaha, Nebraska — and this year’s gathering is capturing global attention for good reason. This year marks the 60th anniversary of Warren Buffett’s acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway, a milestone that highlights not just his longevity, but his enduring relevance in investing. At 94 years old, Buffett has confirmed he will attend in person. While his successor, Greg Abel, will take on a more prominent role, Buffett’s full participation is highly anticipated. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) For investors worldwide, this is more than an annual meeting. It’s a rare opportunity to hear from someone whose principles have shaped the financial decisions of generations. Personally, I’m excited to hear his thoughts on tod

On April 25, Pop Mart reached a major milestone: its app soared to the No. 1 spot in the Shopping category on the U.S. App Store—a historic first for the Chinese collectible toy giant. Just a day prior, on April 24, the highly anticipated LABUBU 3.0 series launched online in mainland China and sold out instantly, reinforcing LABUBU’s massive global appeal. This frenzy was immediately reflected in the markets. Pop Mart’s stock jumped 12% recently, hitting an all-time high—a remarkable move that captured the attention of both fans and investors. As of now, the stock trades at around HKD 197.70, nearly brushing against its 52-week high of HKD 199, and leagues away from its 52-week low of just HKD 32.96. That’s an almost 500% rise from its low in just one year. POP MART (09992) What’s Driving

SOXS, the Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares, is a highly leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) designed to provide three times the inverse performance of the semiconductor sector. While it may seem appealing to traders looking to profit from the downturn of semiconductor stocks, SOXS is definitely not for the faint of heart. Today, for example, SOXS saw a sharp decline of over 10% as semiconductor stocks experienced a rally. This volatility can be both exciting and terrifying for investors, especially those with limited experience or tolerance for risk. It serves as a reminder of how leveraged ETFs like SOXS can be both a blessing and a curse, with potential for large gains as well as steep losses. Price Volatility and Risk Looking at SOXS's 52-week range of $17.73 to $70.70, it

Alibaba (BABA) has just delivered an impressive Q3 FY2025 earnings report, posting revenue of 280.15 billion yuan, marking a solid increase from 260.35 billion yuan in the same period last year. This strong double-digit growth signals resilience in Alibaba’s business amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties. Despite the stellar performance, I personally won’t be loading up right now—and here’s why. The stock just hit a 52-week high today, and the price has already surged over 8% in a single session. To me, this feels like a prime opportunity to lock in profits rather than buy at elevated levels. In fact, I just sold my position on Moomoo at $141. Alibaba (BABA) Key Factors to Consider: Earnings Beat & Growth Trajectory Alibaba’s revenue growth reflects the company’s ability to navigate

After a brief two-day rebound, the market pulled back again yesterday, largely driven by the impact of Trump's tariffs. This volatility has caused many investors to reassess their strategies, especially as we move further into March, a month that often presents challenges for traders. The combination of uncertainty, geopolitical factors, and seasonal trends makes March a tricky time for many investors. From a personal perspective, I've been reflecting on my portfolio and wondering if it might perform better if I shifted a larger portion of my funds into US money market funds rather than stocks and ETFs. The unpredictable nature of the current market, coupled with high interest rates, makes money market funds an appealing option for stability and liquidity. These funds provide a relatively
