Welcome to April. It means you’ve made it through the first three months of the year. It also means it’s time to review your first quarter. How has it gone for you?
My Q1 24 Portfolio Review - The Best Performing Stocks/ETFs
🌟🌟🌟The S&P 500 Index gained 10% in Q1 24, its best start to the Year since 2019, hitting 22 record closing highs. The rally was broad based with 10 out of 11 sectors rising and more than half of the Index's stocks reaching new highs. Similarly my portfolio has also risen with the markets. My US portfolio has performed rather well in comparison to my Singapore portfolio. The best performing ETF is $Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund(XLE)$ which is up 63%. This is due to the geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine. The latest hot spot is the Iran Israeli tensions. Oil prices have climbed in recent weeks. Brent Crude oil has risen more than 20% since December. XLE ETF
as for my case, for beginning of the year I was still alright. but after I switch to option with some careless mistakes, I was down badly [Cry] mistakes learned and will not make the same mistake again. Wishing all Traders and myself with Good Lucks starting from Q2 onwards [Allin] [Allin]
First three months been busy trading $Intel(INTC)$ until it is down in the pit now! From $51 dropped to $35, more than 31% of investment shaved off! Loss, Loss, Loss. What say you? Thanks @TigerEvents Liked and shared this article.

[Events] Were the first three months good, bad, indifferent or very good?
We launched an event last month, and several Tigers shared their stories.

[1Q24 Portfolio Update] Riding the Bull Market To New Highs
Hey there, fellow investors! It's been a minute since my last update, but I couldn't resist sharing some insights on how my portfolio has been performing lately and what's on the horizon. So, let's dive in! Portfolio Performance Check-In: Straight to the point – my investments have been chugging along nicely, keeping pace with big shots like the S&P and Nasdaq. We're looking at a solid 10.1% return year-to-date. Not bad, right? Sure, it's a tad shy of the S&P's 10.7% and Nasdaq's 9.41%, but hey, it's all about the journey, isn't it? Winners and Losers: Now, let's talk winners and losers. On the bright side, shoutout to $Micron Technology(MU)$$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$
**Splendid Start to the Year: Reflecting on Q1** 🎉💼💰💫 In my first quarter, I've been actively engaged in selling PLTR put stocks and exploring call options, which has led to a remarkable estimated annual return of 42.88%. This return surpasses the market performance, boasting a 12.8% return, outperforming the NASDAQ by 2% as indicated by the data. 📈🔍👀💰$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ **Strategic Moves: Maximizing Returns** 💡📈💸🎯 To achieve this, I utilized a strategy revolving around my existing PLTR stocks. For instance, with my PLTR shares initially acquired at a cost of $22.20, I strategically sold in-the-money calls. For instance, by selling a call option with a strike price of $22 and receiving a premium
First three months of 2024 are definitely a good start of the year! My portfolio is profitable overall and better than expected, except for Tesla [Cry] I am very optimistics about bank-related stocks since they perform quite well! $American Express(AXP)$ My overall cash flow is OK as my investment strategy is DCA but not panic buying/ selling [Cool] One lesson I learned so far is always not FOMO, especially with the AI hype right now, most investors would chase high on the AI-related stocks and eventually fail to take profit/stop loss. My upcoming strategy will be continuing DCA US ETF and also ETF from emerging markets! Cheers!

**Title: Reflecting on the First Quarter: A Financial Journey 📈📅** **Heading 1: Introduction** As April arrives, it marks the end of the first quarter, offering an opportune moment for reflection on the financial journey thus far. Let's delve into the successes, challenges, and strategies that have shaped the past three months. **Heading 2: Stock Performance** The first quarter saw notable fluctuations in the stock market. For instance, my investments in insurance stocks, like Prudential, surged from $100 to $118, accompanied by a gratifying $1.30 dividend yield **Heading 3: Options Trading Ventures** Engaging in options trading brought both triumphs and setbacks. While my Manulife covered call contracts were called away, resulting in profit realization, I also experienced successful
My 1st quarter 2024 as an investor was Improving. New year new hope. I can said in the first 3 month of 2024, my profolio is getting better even though it is still in red [Facepalm] [Spurting] I managed to cut off my loss more than I can expected which is good[Sly] most of them is breakeven. My cash flow temporary is in 2%. 98% still in stock market. I will try to selloff more if possible. My idea cashflow will be 35% if can[LOL] I had learn that better to cut loss in time rather than holding it. There are many stock in my profolio that is dropped until penny stock. Some even dropped over 75% such as $Lucid Group Inc(LCID)$ . Selling it and invest in another potential stock maybe can c
I've had an indifferent Q1 of 2024 due to the construction of my portfolio. My portfolio consists of US stocks, Chinese stocks and SG stocks. It's very diversified into tech, consumer discretionary, REITs etc. Although the SP500 has been doing well, my Chinese stocks and REITs have seen almost no recovery and have been in the doldrums for very long. It will only start to look better when the Red cute rates, my REITs start to recover, and China starts to recover too. In the meantime, I'll just have to sit tight and bid my time.
There's and old saying, with ANZAC day coming up in April this year to commemorate the Australian and New Zealand army cores mainly but not exclusively related to activities of them in ww1 and ww2, well the saying is "least we forget" Ok sorry for the rant, let's get to the point. While the sheep of Wall Street rant on about AI stocks, fangs, Tesla, fed rate cuts, etc, etc... Well a lot seems to be forgotten. My best performing stocks in the first quarter of 2024 have been way less sexy. And they definitely were not sexy in 2023. So what mite you ask are these forgotten stocks? Bank of America, CITY bank, ANZ bank, Westpac bank, Visa, American Express. And then there are the bdc's (business development companies), reits and mReits. These have all performed significantly better than a
My 1st quarter 2024, my profolio is getting better even though it is still in red. I managed to cut off my loss more than I can expected which is good most of them is breakeven. My cash flow temporary is in 2%. 98% still in stock market. I will try to selloff more if possible. My idea cashflow will be 35%. I had learn that better to cut loss in time rather than holding it. There are many stock in my profolio that is dropped until penny stock.Selling it and invest in another potential stock maybe can cover back the loss instead of waiting it to rise back to the price. My investment plan for the remainder of the year is better to buy the stock that are more stable or good dividend payment which can hold for long term.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ nothing has changed, continue with holding power and wait for miracle. Life changing money won't come easy right? $AMC Entertainment(AMC)$ let the management continue to dilute us, same tactic for so many times made us already heartless. $GameStop(GME)$ CEO managed to make it profitable yet selling continuing, need more quarters to see how it will goes. $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ what a strong nerding mentality. AI is such a old thing and I am surprised wall street is so near sighted to only see their current 2 quarter huge profits. Nerding and short-sightedness never change ya?
