Do You Know that you can set your cost method of how the platform display your stock P&L? (Avg Cost/FIFO/Diluted Cost)
Keep wondering why my realized profit/loss is not calculated by my average cost of stock holdings (both yellow underlined prices) : This realized P&L displayed was calculated by FIFO method (ie. when my 500 sell CALL shares at 4.50 strike was being called away, the 500 shares called away (sold) were those I bought earliest at price 5.50! ) I had to seek out from the ever helpful customer service. That's the icon to look out for if you wish to change method (Avg cost/FIFO/Diluted cost) under your Portfolio Scroll down the page to find this section If I had chosen diluted cos
AI Boom or AI Bubble? Why Software Is Being Unfairly Punished
Now everyone’s asking the same question: why did software stocks get hammered so badly yesterday, even when the broader market was rebounding? And why is money flowing into hardware but avoiding software? My take is simple — the market is reacting to fear. xAI just dropped a very powerful model, and suddenly it’s like Thanos snapped his fingers on software stocks. The narrative becomes: if AI can do everything, what’s the point of traditional software? So people sell first, think later. This fear isn’t new. It’s always been there. The recent optimism was just a pause — now we’re back to doubting software again. But let’s be clear: this selloff is not rational. Look at the data: $iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF(IGV)$ Software ETF IG

You’re more likely to see a 20% gain in a year than a negative return. (Data since 1980)
The Wildest Stat in the Market Since 1980, there have actually been more years where the market gained over 20% than years where it lost money at all. Let that sink in. We see an average drop of 14% at some point during every single year. Pullbacks are just part of the deal,some are small, some are scary. But most of the time, the market still ends the year in the green. Embracing those down years is exactly how you earn your long term returns. JPMorgan just dropped their Q2 Markets Guide, and here are the biggest takeaways. Valuations are cooling down US stocks are cheaper than they were, though I wouldn't call them "cheap" yet. We started the year with a forward P/E of 22x, and now we’re sitting around 19.7x. Simply put, you're paying less for every dollar of expected earnings than you w

Q2 Strategy: After 7 straight green days, are you adding or cutting?
We just had 7 straight green days. $VIX broke below 20 for the first time since the Iran escalation. Friday pre-market is green again. On the surface, things look pretty good. But here's the thing – Wall Street is not agreeing on what comes next. Citadel says we're in an "asymmetric upside" setup. They think net positioning is light enough that any good news will hit harder than usual. Goldman is warning that everyone expecting 11% earnings growth in Q2 is being too optimistic – they see margins getting crushed and growth slowing to 7% in the second half of the year. And Morningstar says growth stocks are 21% below fair value, which is rare, but also says Q2 rallies stay capped unless Iran publicly signals they want to negotiate. So who's right? I put together a full breakdown of the Q2 ou

Tesla & Microsoft Left in the Dust: Earnings Set to Ignite or Ignite the Final Sell-Off? 😱📉
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$$Microsoft(MSFT)$ The broader market's roaring higher with S&P futures lifting 0.5% pre-market, but Tesla and Microsoft are dragging their feet amid the rally, highlighting a tale of two tech titans under pressure ahead of their critical earnings. Tesla's weaker Q1 delivery numbers have cast a shadow over sentiment, with the EV giant's April 22 report looming as a make-or-break moment for a potential valuation reset — investors are eyeing robotaxi progress and Optimus robot ramps to offset slowing core sales in a high-rate environment. Microsoft, meanwhile, holds its core narrative intact around Azure cloud growth and Copilot enterprise adoption, but the big question is whether th
