2023 is a good year I think most investors agree that 2023 is a pretty good year for the world equities market. Most of them are performing very well except some weakness shown for China and HKEX markets. However, both of them starts to turn much better last week! Therefore, I believe most investors will continue to cheer till the end of this year. My formula Most of my followers know that I am a technical investors, select and judging most of my holdings based on technical analysis. I traded mostly the midterm uptrend stocks only. Since I am not a short term investors, therefore I was almost inactive in equities market for the past two years due to the bear market and nothing much to trade. However, this year everything turns better with trend reversal or even new high breakout

I have divested from Apple on the run up, as it is about 26% over valued. As for Amazon & Alphabet, they are still undervalued and I will add more shares if they fall after earnings. As for Nvidia & Tesla, they are way over valued, so that won't be a consideration as the downside is more than the upside.

2023 Mid Year Recap: The stock market rally marches on
US stocks continued where they left off in Q1 2023, posting strong gains despite a hawkish tone from the Fed. The S&P 500 Index is now up over 15% year-to-date with the US economy yet to show any signs of a recession. The US economy grew at an annualized rate of 2% in Q1 2023, well above forecasts of 1.4%. Consumer sentiment remains strong, while jobless claims continue to tick lower indicating a resilient economy backed by a tight labor market. Inflation now stands at 4%, the lowest since 2021 as energy prices continue to experience a decline. The Fed has indicated that it is keeping the door open to more rate hikes with some members arguing that the current Fed Rate “should be sufficient to move inflation toward the 2% target over an acceptable time frame. Since inflation is now belo
H1 Recap & Outlook | Where to Find US Bulls Under High Returns, High Inflation and High Rates Era?
Looking back at the first half of this year, Fed remains firm in raising interest rates, and the US benchmark interest rate has broken through the 5% . At the same time, although global inflation has fallen, it is still far from the 2% target. “Higher For Longer” for the interest rate has gradually been verified. The birth of ChatGPT has triggered the fantasy of artificial intelligence to greatly improve production efficiency, which is the biggest surprise in the first half of this year. Under these multiple influences, the United States may enter the era of "high interest rates, high inflation, and high growth" in an all-round way. Looking forward to the second half of the year, how will the market perform?I. Asset Performance Review in H11. Major asset returnsLe

Brett Eversole from Stansberry ResearchThe first half of 2023 surprised just about everyone...We saw worries of a recession hold steady... a handful of the largest bank failures in U.S. history... and a Federal Reserve that kept hiking interest rates.Despite all those headwinds, U.S. stocks have soared. The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ Index was up 17% in the first half of the year. And we've only seen one other first half with gains of that level since 1998.What's interesting, though, is that this strong performance hasn't made most investors giddy. They're still worried about the dark clouds on the horizon. But according to history, they shouldn't be overly bearish for long.That's because the$S&P 500(.SPX)$

2023 H1 Recap | Goldman & JPM Are Wrong in 2023 Outlooks?
As we approach the end of the June, some investors begin to forecast the stock market in the next half. Let’s look back at how we did the analysis at the beginning of the 2023.Most retail investors gained information by reading the report and outlooks released by institutions. Let’s find out if Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are right or wrong in forecasting economy and stock market in 2023. The source are from Goldman and JPMorgan’s official website.Both of them are wrong at predicting the stock market trends in the first half as $S&P 500(.SPX)$ are trading at 4300.They are also wrong in terms of interest rates and inflation.

2023 mid-year recap - Sushi price Fresh Sushi are sold in the super market, in the morning, it is original price and it is 50% off in the evening after 8:00 pm if it has leftovers. It happens daily. It's easy to guess, tomorrow night at 8:30pm , what's the Sushi price, tomorrow morning 8am, what is the Sushi price. There's a similar cycle like Sushi price in the financial markets , it's Fed interest cycle. Fed hikes interest, no risk assets yield is 5% now, all other assets price have to give discounts to match Fed interest yeild. For example, the Singapore REIT , all of them present 5-10% yield now. I am not surprised that some US banks declared bankrupt because they placed too much cash on long term investment grade bond. unfortunately, all those bond prices dropped. What assets ar
Why US Stocks May Stay Bullish in the Second Half of 2023
Last November, I discussed the tendency of the US markets to be bullish following midterm elections. Historical data indicated that the average returns for the S&P 500 six and twelve months after a midterm election were 15.1% and 16.3% respectively. (Source: https://finbiteinsights.substack.com/p/us-stocks-have-always-been-bullish) So far, this trend has held true as the US stocks have surpassed expectations, despite various challenges such as inflation, rate hikes, recession risks, bank failures, and the debt ceiling. By May 8, 2023, which marks six months after the midterm election, the S&P 500 had risen by 8%. If the statistics continue to hold, it is likely that positive returns will persist until November 2023. Additionally, there are two other relevant statistics worth men

Options Trading During Times of Uncertainty - A Rookie's Perspective.
If you've read my previous post on "The Truth About Investing - What I've Learned Since Sep 2021", you will recall that my portfolio is currently worth 25-30% of what it was valued back in late 2021 when I first started serious investing in the stock market formally. Of course, every investor and trader will know that the dip in value of someone's portfolio currently may be attributed to rising interest rates (to tame inflation), which leads to concerns about the onset of economic recession. The peculiar thing about such a high interest rate environment is that typically good news such as a lower unemployment rate is taken negatively and the market trends downwards while typically bad news such as higher unemployment claims have the opposite effect.
