To The Moon

Buffet is right most of the time but not always. He previously sold off Apple and missed out a huge amount of profit when it rallied. I think retail investors should have a healthy amount of portfolio in cash to deploy. Treasuries require a holding period that can cause one to miss out when market quickly rebounds. We can’t always buy at the bottom or sell at the top but should be nimble enough to at least profit from the the rebounds. In recent years, market dips have been short lived as the government manipulates it by pumping cash during the covid years and rate cuts/increase with trump comments that have swung the market quickly. I think value investing is still important as that will likely give the best bang for buck with higher chances of the stock prices taking off when market cond

I am a long term investor so May weakness could actually be a good opportunity to add good stocks at a steal. This year is also different from the past. Trump’s negotiations with the various nations to cut back on tariffs could offer a great reason for rebound. If it rebounds, I might choose to lock in profit and add again on weakness. I have begun to nibble on some ETFs when the prices dropped. I think we should be able to have some relief till the 90 day deadline by trump is up. Depending on what happens then, stock prices can turn any way. So, I would still be keeping a healthy amount of cash to buy the dip if it happens and would also lock in some profits if the rebound happens from successful rolling back of the tariffs or reduced tariffs.

I asked for a 5day trip to Japan. Useful! Day 1: Tokyo Accommodation: Stay in hostel or capsule hotel in Asakusa (¥2,000–¥3,500/night) Food: Grab meals at convenience stores (¥500–¥800/day). Activities: Free sights like Senso-ji Temple, Sumida River walk, and Ueno Park. Transport: Use the Tokyo Metro 24-hour pass (¥600). Day 2: Tokyo Activities:Shibuya Crossing, Harajuku’s Takeshita Street, Shinjuku’s Metropolitan Building for skyline views Food: Try ¥1,000 sushi conveyor belts or standing ramen bars. Day 3: Travel to Kyoto (Overnight Bus from Tokyo to Kyoto (¥3,500–¥5,000, saves on accommodation). Accommodation:Kyoto hostel near Gion (¥2,500/night) Day 4: Kyoto Cultural Day Activities: Fushimi Inari Shrine, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and Kinkaku-ji Temple (¥400 entry) Transport: Rent a bic

I think we have bottomed. Trigger trade war is characteristic of trump. He did that in his first term. His aim is to force negotiations and to get what he wants. He is not keen on a recession and I think he would avoid that. Same goes for China. Trade war would not benefit it either. Both are now trying to get the upper hand in negotiations but negiotiate and compromise they must and they will. The dip in this current cycle is similar to that in trump’s first term and market should have bottomed. However, he promised only a 90 day relief which means that we might see the next dip soon unless all the negotiations are promising by then. If so, the next rebound is coming. Afterall, it is impossible to time the market. It all depends on trum now..

I would put money in both the US and China. They are the 2 largest economies. In the longer term, I believe US will still deliver good returns but not as much as the emerging markets.. In the short term, as the Chinese market has been too suppressed for a long time, I believe the rebound will be like a spring released. The Chinese government is obviously rich enough to stimulate its economy. In the much longer term, I believe the Chinese will overtake US to become the biggest market. However based on my experience with the Chinese/HK market, it is too susceptible to dips so I would prefer to lock in profits early and buy again at the next dip. @Success88 @HelenJanet

I think i am a combination of the 3, depending on which market I am investing in. Generally, my porfolio is for the longer term. I top up on a regular basis to dollar cost average. When there are major dips, I add on more to take advantage of the dip or may even enter new positions. However, my experience with the HK market changed that for me. I realised that it is too volatile and irrational where good stocks can be really cheap. So, I started to swing trade a bit recently for the HK market. I still keep a good portion for a long term investment but I swing trade a portion to lock in profits and buy the dips in preparation to sell it off at a later time to lock in the profits. For the US and my SREITS, I buy th dips as I believe in the long term returns and hardly sell.

I definitely prefer Keppel dc reit although it is more focused on data centres. In the longer term, I believe the need for data centres will grow with increased focus on data, AI and technology for all things. Yet, land is limited in Singapore and I don’t think we will see many more data centres being built. Limited supply with increased demand is good for Keppel DC. Till that day comes, I will be happy collecting dividends which beats any fixed deposit[Miser] @Kaixiang @Fenger1188 @Wayneqq @DiAngel @SPOT_ON

This full self-driving has been long awaited and yet to be delivered. So, I am not optimistic about it. Looking at the reduced sales in China, I don’t think Tesla can exceed expectations and deliver the pop to its stock. Moving forward, with the trade war with China, this will get even harder. If Elon steps away from DOGE, I think he can focus better on Tesla and he will also gain back some popularity with Americans and hopefully that will help to bring up sales in the US. Short term, Elon stepping away from DOGE will help boost investors’ confidence in Tesla and help the stock rebound. @Universe宇宙 @Success88 @HelenJanet
