Japanese Stocks $iShares MSCI Japan ETF(EWJ)$ form a Golden Cross for the first time in more than 2 years. The last one sent prices soaring 29% over the next 14 months. $Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund(JOF)$ ,The logic behind the bullish outlook for Japanese stocks in 2025 is as follows:Economic Recovery and GrowthSteady Economic Growth: Japan's economy is expected to continue its recovery, with steady growth in corporate earnings. The "virtuous cycle" of wage increases and mild inflation is also seen as a positive factor.GDP Growth Outlook: There are expectations of further GDP growth in 2025, which will provide a solid foundation for the stock market.Monetary Policy and Interest RatesInterest Rate Adjus

In March, I bought TSLL at $8.55 per share and sold at $8.60 per share. At the time, it seemed like a reasonable short-term gain. Since then, Tesla's stock price has significantly increased, pushing TSLL’s value much higher, and though I could have earned more had I held on, I don’t regret my decision to take profits early. Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares (TSLL) Tesla Motors (TSLA) Looking back, I remind myself that it’s important to stick to my personal strategy, and for me, taking profits provided peace of mind. Tesla's valuation, in my opinion, has been inflated for some time, and holding on to TSLL in hopes of further gains would have been a gamble I wasn't ready to make. Selling early allowed me to avoid the stress of holding through potential market volatility. Even though I misse

On Tuesday, in the U.S. stock market, copper-related $Copper - main 2505(HGmain)$ concept stocks rose by 3.1% on a weighted basis according to the industry, leading the U.S. stock market. Looking at the past 20 trading days, it is also the leading industry.The reasons for the rise in copper prices in 2025 mainly include the following aspects:Tight Global Copper Supply: The production guidance of global copper mining companies in 2025 is expected to decrease, and the phenomenon of losses at smelters is intensifying, which may further exacerbate the tight supply and demand situation in the market. The increase in global copper concentrate has been revised down to only 334,000 metal tons, a significant decrease from initial expectations.Macroecon

I will think market will rebound once they get used to the way how Trump wish to interfere the economy with his quick executive orders. His focus is good to reduce the US debts and move fast with efficiency and effectiveness. Market will sooner or later realised that his MAGA will prove to be something to be remembered in History to reverse the decline of overall US productivity, temporarily though. 

A friend told me yesterday that trading has been exhausting lately—U.S. stocks are going up one day, down the next, struggling to break higher. Meanwhile, China’s A-shares wiped out a month’s gains in just three days, leaving many traders feeling lost.That got me thinking:What if there’s no beta return this year?

After the recent rebound, the $S&P 500(.SPX)$ has returned to levels similar to those seen just before Trump won the U.S. election last November. In effect, after a "Trump rally" that priced in the positives—such as deregulation and tax cuts—and the recent pullback that began to price in risks like tariffs, deficit reduction, immigration restrictions, and broader policy uncertainty, the market has round-tripped to where it started.To be honest, the potential announcement of tariffs on April 2nd.

Lets go bull market! 

Here are five U.S. stocks worth considering during this turbulent period, based on their resilience, growth potential, or discounted valuations: Microsoft (MSFT) Why Buy: Microsoft’s dominance in cloud computing (Azure) and AI integration across its ecosystem makes it a tech titan with staying power. Despite market jitters, its fundamentals are rock-solid—double-digit earnings growth is expected in 2025 (Bankrate). It’s a defensive growth stock, less exposed to tariff fallout than hardware-focused tech peers. Context: Forbes flagged MSFT as a top pick in February 2025 for its diversified revenue streams. Even with tech under pressure, its enterprise focus cushions it from consumer spending dips. Risk: High valuations (P/E often exceeds 30) could mean further downside if sentiment worsens,

i believe in not timing the market, but in the event of major market movements like the recent crash, taking an active stance yields greater returns and could avoid great losses.  outperforming nasdaq by 8% in the last one month shows that. maybe it's luck, maybe it's not, but i know as days go by, my skill as a trader grows, and i hope i will learn more as time goes.  good luck to everyone out there, never stop learning! 

The U.S. stock market has been on a rollercoaster ride, with the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, and Dow Jones breaking their four-week losing streak last week. This shift in momentum raises an important question: Is it time to go long, or should we remain cautious? For me, this recent market behavior has been a valuable reminder to be more thoughtful and strategic before making any investment decisions. Here’s what I’ve learned and how I’m approaching the market moving forward: 1. A Reality Check: The Market Doesn’t Only Go Up The stock market has been bullish for a long time, making it easy to forget that corrections are normal. The recent four-week losing streak served as a wake-up call that markets don’t just move “up, up, up” forever—there will always be pullbacks and periods of volatility.

Although the overall U.S. stock market has only corrected by less than 10% so far, the seven major tech giants have already entered bear market territory. Their stock prices have dropped between 17% to 50% from peak.  Some investors, at the start of the correction, were feeling smart for diversifying their risk, thinking they were clever by putting their eggs in seven different baskets. Little did they know, all seven baskets were from the same factory.  $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Alphabet(GOOG)$ $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ $Meta Platforms, Inc.(M

The stock market has staged an impressive rebound, sparking optimism among investors. However, many are questioning whether this surge is sustainable or if it's just a classic bull trap—a scenario where stocks rally, only to reverse lower, leaving traders caught in a false breakout. With economic uncertainty, fluctuating interest rate expectations, and earnings volatility, the key question remains: Can this market rally last, or will another downturn follow? 1. What’s Driving the Market Rebound? Several factors have contributed to the recent market recovery: Hopes for Interest Rate Cuts: Markets are pricing in rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, which historically fuels stock market rallies. Lower rates reduce borrowing costs and encourage investment, but if the Fed remains cautious due to

The FOMC March 18-19, 2025, meeting flipped the script: “Starting in April, the committee will slow the pace of tapering, lowering the monthly redemption cap for U.S. Treasuries from $25 billion to $5 billion.” After years of draining its balance sheet through quantitative tightening (QT), the Fed’s easing off—not reversing, just braking. Paired with Chair Jerome Powell’s dovish tone and a pledge to “wait for more clarity” before bold moves, markets roared back. The S&P 500 surged, Bitcoin hit $87,000, and Treasuries steadied. But with Trump’s reciprocal tariffs set for April 2, does this QT slowdown juice liquidity enough to sustain the rally—or is it a mirage masking more considerable risks?

The “Magnificent 7” stocks—Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla—have been the cornerstone of the market’s rally, driving significant gains over the past few years. However, with their valuations cooling off in recent weeks, investors now face a critical decision: Is this a golden opportunity to buy the dip, or should caution prevail with further downside risk looming?

The recent drop in the MAG 7 stocks can be attributed to several factors: Valuation Concerns – After an extended period of rapid growth, some investors are reassessing whether these tech giants are still worth their premium price tags. Even after the pullback, many of these stocks continue to trade above historical valuation averages, making some in
