$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Framing the final weeks of 2025


At this stage of the calendar, the debate is not about who is “right” — it is about risk-adjusted asymmetry.


Bull side — still supportive


Fed’s path is now well-telegraphed; cuts anchor cost of capital lower into 1H25.


Q3/Q4 earnings have, on balance, leaned to upside revisions.


Cloud + AI infra spending shows resilience (capex guidance still rising).

This means the floor is stronger than pessimists admit.



Bear side — tactical fragility


Valuations are extended; forward multiples are not cheap.


Positioning is no longer light — many already chased beta in Q3.


Year-end VaR adjustments and tax-loss harvesting can inject disorderly flows.



My characterisation: The upside is still possible — but it is now incremental, not explosive.


So the “more intelligent” question shifts from:


> Will indices make new highs?




to:


> Is the next +3% worth the risk of a -5% shock?




Practical navigation (professional tone-down, not hype)


Investor posture Appropriate stance


Already in profit scale-out partials, keep exposure but trim tail-risk

Underweight risk use pullbacks rather than chase strength

Hedging short-dated index put spreads become more attractive than outright shorts



A balanced Q4-close approach:


keep core exposure intact;


hedge the tail, not the base case.



There is still some room to climb — but this is the season to run with a seatbelt on.
