1. $Oracle(ORCL)$ Oracle just dumped 45% in 3 months… and it might be my favorite dip on the board. 👀My BX bull‑cycle model still has ORCL on track, and from here the downside I’m risking is ~12–13% vs 80–100% upside into 2026 if this level holds. I’d take that 6:1 setup every time.I just posted a full video breaking down the levels, stop, and targets I’d use on this trade. 2. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ I just followed a $14.9M options whale into NVDA, targeting ~$225 by end of Q1 2026. 🎯Monthly BX flipped bull in June and we’re already +28%, but anything under $193 is still a discount in my model. Worst case I see a dip to $160–165 before the next leg. 3. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$</
The BoJ Earthquake: Will the Yen Rate Hike Trigger A Global Market Tsunami?
🌟🌟🌟The market is holding its breath as we face a massive potential one-two punch this week: the fallout from Tech Meltdown Friday and the highly anticipated Bank of Japan (BoJ) meeting on December 18 to 19. All signs point to the BoJ raising its policy rate, a historic shift that could send shivers down the spine of the global financial system and unleash a wave of volatility. How a Japan Rate Hike Affects the Carry Trade For nearly 3 decades, investors have leveraged the yen carry trade, borrowing yen at ultra low or even negative rates and investing that cheap capital into higher yielding assets around the world. This includes US tech stocks and bonds. A BoJ rate hike changes this equation dramatically. Why? Borrowing becomes more expensive: The core premise of cheap ye
🌟🌟🌟2025 has been a year of precious surprises. Silver surged to fresh all time highs , outpacing Gold , while Gold itself has entered rebound mode. Institutions now whisper a bold target : USD 5000 by 2026. For me, the conviction has already paid off. My position in $iShares Gold Trust(IAU)$ is up 75% while in $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$ I am up 94%. This is proof that patience and belief in Gold and Silver can shine brighter than any headline. Gold is the anchor: Safe haven in troubled times . Gold has stability, resilience and the promise of compounding magic. Silver is the sprinter: It is volatil
How To Hedge Silver Drawdown Risk with a Calendar-Spread Arbitrage Strategy?
Be cautious: this week, both U.S. equities and the two most crowded assets—gold and silver—are sitting in a fragile equilibrium of “high prices + low volatility + high leverage.” On top of that, the headline calendar includes Quadruple witching day, a Bank of Japan rate hike, and the return of the previously paused U.S. nonfarm payrolls release—factors that make a meaningful volatility expansion highly likely. In such an environment, any one-way bet can easily be whipsawed as take-profit and stop-loss orders get triggered repeatedly.In these conditions—especially before the Bank of Japan announces its policy decision—the priority should shift away from trying to be “right” on a single directional call. The focus should be on protecting earlier gains and controlling drawdowns, because the

🚀 Dec8 —— Dec12 Leaderboard: Top Traders & Market Highlights!
Last week (December 8-12), Hong Kong and US stocks as a whole continued the pattern of "risk preference rebound" at the end of the year, but the trend was divided. In terms of U.S. stocks, the market continues to focus on the Fed's interest rate cut expectations and the allocation of funds at the end of the year. Technology stocks and AI related sectors remain relatively strong. The S&P$S&P 500(.SPX)$ and Nasdaq$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fluctuate upward. The Dow's performance is stable. Investors adopt more strategies of "changing positions while rising", focusing on the high certainty leader and the realization of annual performance. In terms of Hong Kong stocks,
Quiet compounder. Holding both DBS and OCBC has been a steady and reassuring experience for me. Seeing them hit fresh intraday highs reinforces why I like Singapore banks as core positions — strong wealth-management income, disciplined capital returns, and clear dividend visibility make them feel dependable even as the rate cycle turns. Between the two, I appreciate DBS for its consistency and dividend clarity, while OCBC adds value with a slightly cheaper valuation and improving fee momentum. Even with some NIM pressure ahead, the overall package still feels resilient, especially when buybacks and dividends continue to support share prices. I also use DLCs $DBS 5xLongSG280330(LQSW.SI)$ $OCBC 5xLongS
My focus will be on $DBS(D05.SI)$ , following the news that DBS has been appointed as Singapore’s second RMB clearing bank. This is a meaningful strategic upgrade, as it strengthens DBS’s role in cross-border RMB settlement, trade finance, and capital flows between China and Southeast Asia. In my view, this isn’t just a symbolic title. RMB clearing status gives DBS deeper access to transaction volume, liquidity management, and fee-based income tied to regional trade and investment. As RMB internationalisation gradually expands, banks with official clearing capabilities stand to benefit structurally over the long term. Against the backdrop of global monetary policy divergence and investors rotating into value and financials, DBS stands out as a
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$$Ford(F)$$General Motors(GM)$ 🚀⚡📈 $TSLA | Market Share Rising While Sales Fall? Read That Again 📈⚡🚀🎅 I had to double-take this one. Yes, U.S. EV sales cooled after the $7,500 tax credit rolled off. Tesla’s sales did fall. But here’s the part the headlines miss, they fell less than everyone else. That single detail matters. It pushed $TSLA’s U.S. EV market share up to 57% in November. That’s dominance quietly expanding while legacy players retreat. I’m watching traditional automakers slash EV capex, delay launches, and reset expectations. Competition is shrinking, not intensifying. In cyclical slowdowns, the strongest balance sheets and lowest cos
People complain that $TSLA hasn't done much in the past 5 years, but that's because they don't accumulate. Most investors just buy once, hold, and then complain when the price doesn't skyrocket immediately—instead of regularly adding to their position and enjoying the compounding effects of accumulation. Here is a breakdown if you just bought $100 worth of $TSLA every month since Jan 2021: Total invested: $6,000 Total shares accumulated: approximately 31.5 (via dollar-cost averaging over volatile periods, including the 2021 peak, 2022 decline, 2023 recovery, and 2024-2025 gains) Current value as of December 15, 2025 (using latest price ~$475 per share): approximately $14,960 This represents a total return of about 150% over 5 years and anybody can do this. Stay disciplined

This is not fear. This is positioning. I’m seeing outsized, institutionally meaningful flow hit the global ETF complex. $EEM printed roughly 7.8M contracts with calls absolutely dominating at over 7.7M, nearly 48x average daily volume. $EWZ followed with more than 3.2M contracts, again call heavy. $FXI and $EFA both showed the same pattern, elevated volume multiples and overwhelm
📉 Market Red After Rate Cuts? Why This Is a Gift, Not a Crash Is the "Fed Pivot Party" over before it began? Or is this the shakeout we needed? 🚨 The Context: Why Is the Market Down? If you looked at your screen yesterday, it was ugly. US markets faced pressure, and that sentiment is bleeding into global tech today. But let’s be real: this is a classic "Sell the News" event. The market priced in the rate cuts weeks ago, so the immediate reaction is a pull-back. However, the narrative hasn’t broken. We are shifting from a tightening cycle to a liquidity easing cycle. The mistake many retail traders make right now is confusing a short-term sentiment flush with a long-term trend reversal. Here is why I am staying bullish and using this volatility to accumulate. 1️⃣ The "Perfect Trade" is a My
CPF vs. SGX Stocks: The $75,000 "Safety" Cost (Iggy's Insights) | 🦖 #TheInvestingIguana EP1320
🟩 Is the "safe path" to retirement actually the most dangerous route you can take? For most Singaporeans, the standard strategy has always been maximizing CPF, buying savings bonds, and paying off the HDB flat. But with core inflation stubbornly eroding purchasing power and the cost of living sprinting ahead, a 4% risk-free return might no longer be enough to keep your head above water. In this deep dive, we strip away the emotional comfort of cash to reveal the harsh mathematical reality facing everyone in the 45+ bracket: avoiding the stock market could cost you over $75,000 in lost opportunity. In this video, I break down the "Fear Gap" and compare the real returns of a CPF-focused retirement against an equity-focused strategy using the Straits Times Index (STI). We analyze the hidden d
Wall St Carnage Hits Tech Titans – Tesla's $3T Tease Ignites Rally Hope Amid EV Retreats & AI Open-Source Boom! 😱🚀
Wall Street wrapped a wild Monday on a sour note, with the S&P 500 dipping 0.5% to 6,859 and Nasdaq sliding 0.8% to 19,340 as investors dumped tech heavyweights for safer shores. Tesla bucked the trend with a 4% surge to $446, flirting with a mind-blowing $3 trillion valuation on bold predictions of Optimus robot dominance and China sales rebounding 10% in November. 😎 Apple and Amazon weren't so lucky, both tumbling 2% to $250 and $208 amid broader AI jitters and consumer crunch fears. Oracle plunged 3% to $190.50 after capex bloat spooked the crowd, while Broadcom and Coinbase sank 6% to $155.83 and $320, hit by margin misses and crypto volatility. The rotation to defensives like utilities (up 1.2%) screams risk-off vibes, but QT's trillion-dollar liquidity wave keeps the bounce poten
From my perspective, this tech-led pullback still looks more like a healthy correction than a confirmed trend reversal. After a powerful AI-driven rally, some consolidation was almost unavoidable. The Nasdaq $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ underperforming doesn't automatically mean risk appetite is gone — it more likely reflects stretched positioning being unwound and expectations cooling off. Broadcom $Broadcom(AVGO)$ and Oracle $Oracle(ORCL)$ extending last week's weakness definitely grabs attention, especially with Broadcom marking its worst three-day drop since 2020. But context matte
The USD500 Question: Can Driverless Tesla in Austin Drive TSLA to a Year End Record?
🌟🌟🌟The future arrived in Austin Texas this past weekend. On December 14, an X user captured astonishing footage of a Tesla Model Y driving autonomously through city streets with no one at the wheel - literally zero occupants. The video went viral and Elon Musk confirmed the news: Testing is underway with no occupant in the car. This marks a massive leap forward in the long promised robotaxi service. This breakthrough has reignited the fiery debate: Is $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ on track to hit the mythical USD 500 per share target by year end? The Robotaxi Catalyst For years, skeptics have pointed to the slow progress of Tesla's Full Self Driving (FSD) as vaporware. The Austin footage changes
