I would call it disappointed. Everyone went into his 2nd term thinking it should replicate his 1st term but he did many unexpected things like tariffs and then taco. While stock markets like HK and China rising has allowed me to profit, I think if he is collaborative, the US market would have rose along at a wider margin too. That would definitely make me happier. Trump will definitely try to push the stock market higher and one way is to push the Fed to cut rates faster. This will not only boost optimism in the stock market, it will also reduce the load of the US’ massive debt. Moving into his mid term, he will have to make sure the market rally along. Eccentric as he may be, he also values the performance of the stock market and that was his election promise- to make America great agai

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Framing the final weeks of 2025 At this stage of the calendar, the debate is not about who is “right” — it is about risk-adjusted asymmetry. Bull side — still supportive Fed’s path is now well-telegraphed; cuts anchor cost of capital lower into 1H25. Q3/Q4 earnings have, on balance, leaned to upside revisions. Cloud + AI infra spending shows resilience (capex guidance still rising). This means the floor is stronger than pessimists admit. Bear side — tactical fragility Valuations are extended; forward multiples are not cheap. Positioning is no longer light — many already chased beta in Q3. Year-end VaR adjustments and tax-loss harvesting can inject disorderly flows. My characterisation: The upside is still possible — but it i
The deal-signal is meaningful — but it is not a unilateral ignition switch. Context Shutdown-risk is a liquidity drag and confidence drag, not a valuation input by itself. When headlines suggest resolution, algos remove the “policy impairment discount” and risk assets naturally retrace intraday — which is exactly what you saw yesterday. However — the next leg up still requires two confirmations: 1. that the shutdown actually ends, not merely “intent to negotiate” 2. that the short-term resolution does not re-introduce a new cliff in 4–8 weeks The proposed structure — reopen now + ACA tax credit extension separated — is politically elegant, but markets will only reward the signed outcome, not the floated idea. So next week — what is the probability of a re-round? Positive skew exists — poli

Price sliced back into the orange liquidity bands, exactly where smart money often reloads. $420 now stands as the make-or-break line of defense, and this zone has a history of fuelling explosive rebounds. If it holds, a cup-and-handle setup could be loading. 🐂 Bulls first need to reclaim $441–$445, then flip $450 to retake control. Clear that range, and a $467 retest could trigger the next upside leg. 👉❓Will $TSLA defend $
Among $200 club, who has the best shot at hitting $300 by year-end — Google, Amazon, or Apple?: Honestly, seeing the recent rundown, $300 for any these stocks by the year end looks tough. If things improve drastically, I feel Google has the best chance followed given its pedigree in innovation & foray into new technologies including AI. Has the market overreacted to recent tech stock corrections, or are these the first cracks of an AI valuation bubble?: I would really like yo think this was a temporary blip and that things would improve sooner rather than later. But considering huge shorts are at play on the majority AI players, we could expect some pain in the short run. And the 🐍 & 🪜 game would be stable all through Trump's tenure. Who is the best buy now?: Given the

This wild swing highlights the market's unshakeable grit, even as volatility swirls like a storm. 🌪️ But here's the kicker: despite the chaos, the index is hovering a mere 3% below its all-time highs, teasing investors with the promise of new records just around the corner. 🏆 Let's break it down—why the drama? Markets kicked off with a dip, likely fueled by mixed eco

$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ As we charge toward the finish line of 2025, the big question buzzing among investors is crystal clear—can this market keep its momentum, or is a reality check looming?

🌟🌟🌟Would Singapore banks suffer in 2026? It would seem so as a series of interest rate cuts in 2026 is expected to exert downward pressure on the Net Interest Margin. However our 3 local Singapore banks are already preparing for this shift & possess alternate revenue sources to mitigate the impact. Our Singapore banks $DBS(D05.SI)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ and $UOB(U11.SI)$ are focusing on the lucrative Wealth Management and Private Banking sector. The banks can generate significant fees from managing assets of high net worth individuals and retail customers through investment products, advisory services and portfolio management. Moreov

Software Market Cycles: Expansion vs. Consolidation
If I had to simplify software market cycles, I’d say they come in two phases: the expansionary phase and the consolidation phase.In the expansionary phase, buyers scoop up software almost indiscriminately. There’s little concern for cost or efficiency, what matters is speed. It’s about accelerating product development, capturing market share, or outspending competitors to stay ahead, all under the assumption that growth will take care of everything else. During this phase, public markets shift their focus entirely to growth over profits. Take a look at the multiples chart I post later on breaking out multiples by high, medium, and low-growth companies. You can see the high-growth bucket has seen multiple expansion this year, while the mid-growth bucket has seen steady contraction.In the co
