The Singapore real estate trust market has seen major shifts lately. On 31 August 2026, Eagle Hospitality Trust (LIW) officially delisted from the stock exchange. Dasin Retail Trust (CEDU) remains suspended due to financial struggles. Meanwhile, EC World REIT (BWCU) is now entering its third year of a continuous trading suspension since 31 August 2023. In a 2 September 2026 announcement, the high court rejected EC World REIT's appeal, holding them legally responsible for a massive unauthorized debt. Not only did the ruling go against them; their total liabilities exceed their assets, leaving them without the financial capacity to pay the debt. Moving forward, investors should evaluate the REIT sponsor's financial backing and capitalization and carefully analyze the balance sheet and levera

This year, parts of Southeast Asia face heavy smoke haze alongside global floods and storms. Human activities, like clearing land for plantations, are the source of these forest fires. However, a natural climate cycle called El Niño acts as a major multiplier. On 3 September 2026, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) reported a near 100% chance a "very strong" El Niño will last through February 2027. Instead of creating fires, this intense cycle causes long droughts. The dry weather stops natural rainfall from quenching the flames, causing human-made fires to spread fast and burn deep underground. Understanding human choices and environmental patterns helps our communities prepare for extreme weather together. $Lion-OSPL Low Carbon S$(ESG.SI)

One batch of results, three different share prices. $Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ closed 15.81 per cent higher on Wednesday at US$492.20. Credo's revenue more than doubled from the previous quarter and the stock closed down 20.04 per cent at US$165.22. $Broadcom(AVGO)$ left its answer until after the close, beat on both revenue and earnings, and saw its shares push above US$370 before being knocked back below US$350. The hardest number in Dell's results is US$95 billion — a record order backlog for AI servers. It raised full-year revenue guidance by US$25 billion to US$192 billion at the same time. At least 15 firms moved their targets that day: UBS from US$455 to US$500,

Because the US national debt recently crossed a historic $40 trillion milestone, investors are now asking for higher returns to buy this long-term debt. When regular long-term bonds feel uncertain, it is normal to look at different options to protect savings from inflation. Many investors look for ways to manage this risk safely. For example, some look at safe home-loan papers backed by the government, called agency mortgage-backed securities, which can pay yields higher than 5.5%. Others prefer short-term government debt because it lets them keep their money safe without waiting many years. $iShares MBS ETF(MBB)$   $SPDR Portfolio Mortgage Backed Bond ETF(SPMB)$  

August was an absolute masterclass in testing my emotional stability. If you looked at my trading charts, you would assume I let my morning caffeine levels dictate my market entry points. I started the month feeling like Warren Buffett's chosen successor, only to spend the final weeks staring at the screen wondering if "un-buying" a stock was a hidden feature Tiger Brokers forgot to unlock for me. My trading logic this month was simple: buy the dip, watch it dip further, panic slightly, and then quickly rebrand myself as a "long-term value investor" to cope with the red days. One of my biggest wins was resisting the urge to check my portfolio every four minutes, which significantly improved my daily stress levels. The main lesson August taught me is that the market has a personal sense of

What Worked in August: Defending Positions Without Giving Up Equity When initial support levels broke under tech multiples (QQQ) and short positions fell deep ITM, taking a direct loss or getting assigned at peak market panic was off the table. Instead, I executed a disciplined rolling framework: Rolling Down & Out: Closed troubled short put positions nearing expiry and reopened them at lower strike prices further out on the expiration calendar (30–45 DTE). Demanding Net Credit: Never rolled for a debit. Every roll captured additional premium, effectively lowering my break-even price while extending duration to let macro noise settle. Capitalizing on Volatility Spikes: Used elevated implied volatility (IV) during market dips to lock in rich option premiums, buying precious time for und

Reflecting on August's market swings and positioning for September, utilizing a rolling options strategy on highly liquid mega-caps like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) offers a disciplined mechanism to manage risk and harvest premium. For covered call holders facing short-term upside pressure, rolling up and out—closing the current call and selling a further-dated, higher-strike call—allows you to reset your cap at a higher valuation while collecting additional time premium without forfeiting shares. Conversely, for cash-secured put strategies during yield-driven macro drawdowns, rolling down and out extends duration to absorb transient volatility, lowering the effective break-even cost basis on core long-term AI compounders.

Personally, August has been a good month for me despite seeing many people around me struggling in August.  How did I do this month? My portfolio gained 9.43%, beating $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  by 6.75%. I am satisfied with all my selling puts trades as they have made me the most profit. I made 44 trades this month, with 88.64% winning rates.  $Applied Materials(AMAT)$  puts made me the most profit this month, followed by $Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$  ,$Vertiv Holdings LLC(VRT)$   and $EchoStar(ECHO)$  . I bought

In Aug, I earn a profit of $30k plus and I have been trading mostly options  for these 3 shares $Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$  $SK hynix(SKHY)$  $SpaceX(SPCX)$ . I am just selling put and call options for these shares and earn through premiums but sometimes double profits from the share sold off too. In Sep, I will continue to do the same for these 3 shares as I think the companies will be doing well. Therefore, I don't mind to hold on to the shares if I buy in.

For me, the biggest takeaway is that rising oil prices and Treasury yields are becoming a major headwind for high-growth tech. Higher discount rates make future AI cash flows worth less today, explaining why Microsoft and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ can sell off despite strong long-term fundamentals. I’m still bullish on AI infrastructure, but I’m becoming more selective about how that growth is financed. $Dell Technologies Inc.(DELL)$ results showed genuine demand, while $Broadcom(AVGO)$ ’s reported debt-funded compute strategy raises questions about how much of the AI boom is backed by sustainable end demand versus financial leverage. I’ll be watching Broadcom’s earning

🎁 Write & Win | How I Managed to Make S$15,000 Profit in August: Discipline, Covered Calls & China Futures August was a month that reminded me of one of the most important lessons in trading: making money is not always about predicting the market correctly. Sometimes, it is about managing risk, taking profits when the opportunity appears, and avoiding the temptation to be overly aggressive. According to my August P&L, I finished the month with approximately S$15,500 in profit, representing a +11.69% P&L ratio. It was a strong month, but I would not describe it as simply “getting lucky.” There was certainly some luck involved, especially with my Palantir Technologies (PLTR) covered calls, but the bigger lesson for me was the importance of having a plan and adjusting when the

$Dow Jones(.DJI)$ fell 419 points on Tuesday, or 0.79 per cent, to 52,766.88; $S&P 500(.SPX)$ lost 0.71 per cent to 7,631.47; $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ fell 1.27 per cent. The selling started in the Middle East: US forces struck Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz, and Brent crude jumped about 5 per cent on the day to around US$95, a level reports call its highest since late July. When oil goes up, the inflation maths has to be redone. The ten-year Treasury yield closed at 4.78 per cent, which reports put as the highest since January 2025; the thirty-year reached 5.27 per cent. Futures at the CME now put the odds

I was then left bag holding when the price plunged to 0.13-0.15. I decided to average down in August. Now it has gone up even above my original cost basis and I’m a happy camper. The anticipation surrounding the spin-off Nasdaq listing looks set to keep the momentum up. Olam: I made the decision to increase my position when it dropped to what I thought was a fairly

Rising oil prices are no longer just an energy-sector story. They are pushing Treasury yields higher through inflation expectations, raising the probability of a Fed rate hike in September, and compressing valuations across the rest of the market—the September 1 selloff in U.S. equities was the result of this entire chain being repriced at once. On Tuesday, September 1, all four major U.S. indexes closed lower. The S&P 500 fell 0.71% to 7,631.47, the Dow dropped 419.02 points to 52,766.88, the Nasdaq Composite declined 1.03% to 26,099.77, and the Russell 2000 fell 1.23% to 2,920. The real driver on the day came from the Middle East. U.S. forces launched a new round of strikes against Iranian targets around the Strait of Hormuz, after two oil tankers had been attacked in the waterway. T

Look Back, Trade Forward | Reflect on August, Plan for September August was a month worth looking back on, not just because of the numbers, but because of the lessons, discipline, and small wins along the way. I’m grateful for the opportunity to earn a few thousand dollars through my trades last month. These wins are more than just P&L on a screen, they’re slowly becoming future vacation funds, a reminder that consistent execution can create something meaningful beyond the market. One of the things I enjoyed most last month was taking the time to share the Iron Condor as a playbook, breaking down the idea of defined risk, positioning, probability, and patience.

🌟🌟🌟Let's take a deep breath and wipe the sweat from our foreheads.  We have officially survived August 2026.  It was a month that felt less like a civilised financial period and more like a high stakes psychological thriller directed by a manic depressive algorithm. From Jackson Hole twists to geopolitical energy wars, the market spent the last 31 days throwing tantrums.  As we step into September, historically the most brutal calendar month for the stock market, it is time to review our August battlefield wounds and engineer a bulletproof playbook using specialised ETFs to build a resilient portfolio. The August Trading Review: What Happened? August was the month where Wall Street decided to completely tear up the old playbook and rewrite the rules of gravity. The Kevin War
