All shares now bulls market but play safe too

I class my self as a swing trader, but feel this will change over time. I like momentum and position trading, and use those styles to build my warchest. What trading style do you adopt, and why?

I don't speculate. Never, speculation is for sheep. Sorry if i offend, but the stats clearly show that most retail day traders loose money... google it lol. Instead i know everything i possibly can about a stock before i invest, once i know everything, i just buy a tiny stake. Then increase my position if my investment thesis proves correct, if not i cut my loss. And of course, i keep researching the stock. There is only one of me, so I can't follow a huge number of stocks, so i also invest in ETFs like $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ And $Vanguard Growth ETF(VUG)$ Just to tick the diversity box. Buts lets answer the question posed, if I don't speculate, how do i invest? Three main aspects here. First, i ca

Investing 30% , speculation 50% momentum 20%

Omgggggggggggg heheheee.x

Both investing and speculating have distinct advantages and play unique roles in building wealth, depending on one's financial goals, risk tolerance, and market outlook. Personally, I see the value in both approaches but recognize that a more disciplined focus on investing would likely benefit me in the long run. Here are a few key points to expand on my perspective: Understanding the Difference: Investing generally involves buying assets with the expectation of generating returns over a longer period, relying on the fundamental strength and growth potential of the asset. Speculating, on the other hand, involves higher-risk positions in the hope of achieving short-term gains, often with less regard for underlying fundamentals and more focus on market momentum or timing. This distinction

Discipline in investing and think long term. No greed

Speculative play unfortunately my portfolio is just beginning so I am still leaning.

Balancing between investing and speculating can be both rewarding and challenging. It requires a clear strategy that aligns with long-term goals while taking calculated risks. Here’s some considerations on how to maintain a balanced approach to speculation and investing. 1. Define Your Core and Explore Strategy The foundation of a balanced portfolio lies in defining a "Core" and "Explore" strategy: Core Portfolio (70-80%): This portion should be grounded in stable, well-researched investments that align with long-term goals. Think blue-chip stocks, ETFs, index funds, or bonds. These assets, though less volatile, deliver consistent growth and act as the bedrock of your portfolio. A steady increase in value over years provides compounded returns, helping your capital grow with relatively low

When we think of stock traders, two stereotypes typically pop into mind: the seasoned market veterans who’ve “seen it all” and the novice investors navigating their first bull or bear market. However, beneath these surface impressions lies a rich tapestry of skills, traits, and advantages common to investors, regardless of their experience level. The stock market demands a lot, from emotional intelligence to analytical thinking, and those who engage with it often develop or naturally possess a unique set of characteristics.

Stories About Making Money (2) The title is making money not investment. 😊 3. Intimate Relationship [Miser]   This third story, shared by my brother, is about his friend's parents and their unique approach to investing.  Over the years, this senior couple has focused exclusively on two stocks: DBS and OCBC. They studied every price movement meticulously, analyzed the annual reports, tracked dividend payment histories, and kept an eye on interest rate trends both locally and in the U.S.  They would buy these stocks whenever their prices dropped, accumulating more shares with each "unreasonable" or unexplained dip. Because they were so familiar with the price patterns, they traded these stocks within a predictable range—buying at the lower end and selling at the high

Stories About Making Money (1) The title is making money not investment. 😊 1. All or nothing? This real-life story was related to me by a friend when he was in investment banking many years ago. I have since lost contact with him which is kind of sad. :(  In his early years as an investment banker, he was posted to China to start the  branch office when China was opening up to the world. During his posting there, he got acquainted to a client who invested with him. My friend specialised in commodity trading, in particular, in oil and precious metal trading. According to him, this client took a bet on oil based on his recommendation. He staked all he has at that time, buying future contracts that oil would rise. Oil price rose just as my friend predicated and his cl

While revenue grew slightly over 10% year-over-year, it missed the mark by nearly $800 million. The guidance for the current quarter was also somewhat tepid.However, the company's net income nearly doubled to about $13.5 billion, driven partly by a surge in cash flow. As of June 30, Amazon's net cash position exceeded $26 billion. With over $89 billion in cash and securities, and

When most people consider the unique traits that stock investors should possess, they often highlight qualities such as patience, emotional control, and the ability to interpret financial data. While these traits are undoubtedly important for navigating the complexities of the stock market, I believe that self-reflection, trendspotting, and a strong moral compass are equally essential components of successful investing. In my approach to stock investing, I do not simply buy and sell assets without deeper consideration. I make it a priority to regularly reflect on my decisions—analyzing what I could have done better and identifying where things might have gone wrong. This practice of self-reflection serves several purposes. First, it helps me learn from my mistakes, ensuring that I do not r

Is the Magnificent Seven Entering Bubble Territory? In recent months, the term “Magnificent Seven” has gained traction in financial circles, referring to the seven most valuable U.S. technology companies: Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Meta (Facebook), Tesla, and Nvidia.

The September Effect on the Stock Market During U.S. Presidential Election Years The "September Effect" is a well-known phenomenon in the stock market, where the stock market tends to experience a decline during the month of September.

In presidential election years, this effect is particularly interesting as it overlaps with heightened political uncertainty, which can lead to increased market volatility. This article will explore the historical data behind the September Effect during U.S. presidential election years, its causes, and relevant statistics.
