Small cap will be the next sector to surge in 2025?
A Cost-Effective Approach to US Economic Exposure Large-cap US companies often operate on a global scale, making their revenues more sensitive to the global economic environment. In contrast, small- and mid-cap companies are generally more focused on domestic markets, providing investors with more direct exposure to US economic performance. Given the current high valuations of large-cap stocks, small- and mid-cap stocks present a more cost-effective alternative for investors seeking to benefit from the robust US economy. As illustrated in Figure 1, the price gap between small and large caps highlights that gaining or increasing exposure to US economic strength does not have to come with a high price tag. Key Trends Favoring Small- and Mid-Cap Stocks While small- and mid-cap stocks have tra
Reit Investmet To Avoid! Choosing Internally or Externally managed REITs

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ When it comes to stock trading, the debate between money and passion is a common one. Both are important, but they serve different purposes in a trader's journey. Money is often the primary motivator for many traders. The potential for profit is what draws people to the stock market in the first place. After all, trading is about generating wealth, and without the desire for financial gain, there's little incentive to take on the risks involved. However, focusing solely on money can lead to emotional decision-making, impulsive trades, and ultimately, losses. Passion, on the other hand, can be a more sustainable driver. A passion for learning about markets, understanding the intricacies of different stocks, or developing stra
Mapletree Logistics Trust (M44U.SI) At Risk? Buy At Dip?
$Mapletree Log Tr(M44U.SI)$ Merry Xmas investors! Today we are going to discuss Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT)—and for good reason. MLT is a compelling REIT, benefiting from the booming logistics sector and driven by a proactive management team that continuously recycles capital into higher-quality assets. Despite its growth focus, MLT has maintained an attractive dividend yield, making it appealing to income-oriented investors. However, I’m never overly attached to any REIT.

[2024 Investment Review] Future Outlook: The One Thing Concerning Me (Not The Interest Rate)
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$$Brookfield Corp(BN)$$CapitaLandInvest(9CI.SI)$ Hello investors! There's a popular saying in investing: Focus on the downside, and the upside will take care of itself.
