2025 Recap: Which Opportunities Do You Regret Missing the Most?

2025 came to a close with global markets swinging between political shocks and technological breakthroughs. Trump’s return reignited policy uncertainty, AI competition reshaped capital allocation, gold rewrote history, and megacaps expanded the limits of imagination. Markets trembled under tariff threats — yet celebrated amid an unprecedented computing boom. Which event truly defines 2025 in your view? What trade taught you the most this year?

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Defining moment of 2025 The event that most clearly defines 2025 is the convergence of political uncertainty with an unprecedented acceleration in computing investment. Trump’s return amplified policy risk, tariffs, and geopolitical noise, yet markets ultimately chose to price productivity over politics. The decisive shift was capital committing, at scale, to AI infrastructure. That commitment rewired earnings expectations, valuation frameworks, and even macro narratives. Gold rewriting history was a symptom of uncertainty. The computing boom was the structural change. The trade that taught the most The most instructive trade was staying long quality AI infrastructure while trimming euphoria at the margin. It reinforced thre
$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ I regretted sitting on the fence for too long when the market crashed during the liberation day period. I thought the market could go down further and the recovery was a dead cat bounce. By the time I realised the recovery is for real, the best deals had evaporated.

2025 Recap: Which Opportunities Do You Regret Missing the Most?

I won’t say I regret missing opportunities in 2025. Regret is a heavy word, one that implies certainty—that I should have known better, that the outcome was obvious. Markets don’t work that way. What I will say is that there are moments, charts, and earnings calls I sometimes revisit with a quiet sense of curiosity: What if? 2025 was a year that made hindsight feel louder than it deserved to be. The headlines were cinematic. Trump’s return to the political stage reintroduced policy uncertainty like a recurring plot twist—tariffs resurfaced, trade rhetoric hardened, and markets oscillated between panic and indifference. At the same time, artificial intelligence stopped being a “theme” and became an infrastructure race. Capital flowed not just into models, but into chips, storage, energy, an

2025 RECAP| Top 10 SG Stocks in Tiger Community!

A year when “boring” got exciting again. The STI was up ~22% YTD by late December, helped by a stronger risk mood and renewed attention on Singapore equities.What did Tigers watch the most? In 2025, it largely came down to three themes: bank dividends + rate path, big corporate actions, and steady cashflow names.1) $DBS(D05.SI)$ +36.42% YTDDBS stayed in the spotlight because it combined record-scale profitability with a visible leadership transition. The bank’s 3Q25 profit before tax hit a record SGD 3.48b, and it kept dividends attractive (including a 75-cent quarterly dividend in late 2025).The market also priced in the next chapter: Tan Su Shan took over as CEO on March 28, 2025, and DBS’ aggressive AI push became a headline story.2)

2025 Recap: The Opportunities I Regret Missing — and the Lessons the Market Etched Into Me 📉📈

2025 will go down as one of those years that felt emotionally longer than it was on the calendar. It was a year where headlines moved markets faster than fundamentals, where fear and euphoria alternated with dizzying speed, and where the line between discipline and impulse was tested almost daily. From Trump’s return to center stage and the policy uncertainty that followed 🇺🇸, to artificial intelligence reshaping capital allocation at a pace I had never seen before 🤖, to gold quietly rewriting its own history while equity investors were distracted by megacaps — 2025 was not just a trading year. It was a psychological endurance test. Looking back, the question that matters most isn’t how much was made, but what was learned, what was missed, and what scars were earned along the way. ⸻

A clear way to view 2025 is through risk, difficulty, and payoff. Low risk Quality megacaps and established AI infrastructure names delivered steady gains. Patience mattered more than precision. Medium risk Gold and silver breakouts rewarded disciplined positioning despite sharp volatility. High risk AI momentum, leverage, and thematic trades offered large upside but punished poor timing. Key lesson The biggest miss was selling winners too early or trading headlines. 2025 favoured conviction in structural trends over constant action.

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ What truly defined 2025 The defining feature of 2025 was not any single headline, but the re-pricing of certainty. Markets were forced to hold two opposing truths at once. Policy risk returned with force through tariffs and geopolitics, yet capital continued to concentrate aggressively into AI infrastructure and megacaps. The year was defined by this coexistence of fear and conviction. If one event stands out, it is the industrialisation of AI. 2025 marked the shift from narrative to deployment. Capital allocation moved decisively towards compute, power, memory, and data infrastructure. This was not speculative enthusiasm alone. It reshaped earnings expectations, supply chains, and long-term productivity assumptions, while q

Nothing is easy..Every trade involves capital and psychological risk especially during Trump's liberation week and mid Oct to November sell-9ff. Each trade requires informed judgment and conviction.  I missed precious metals, just manage to catch gold in Q4. AMD breakeven. Still a good year at 67% YTD return, beating SPY and QQQ by large extent.

Due to change of work and I focus in my work so seldom look into the stock.

I have always believed in Chinese tech and have kept my position in Tencent though I have also traded to lock in profits or to average down on my position cost. It was tough keeping to it when the US stocks were soaring for the past few years post covid and especially when rate cuts took place. Moving into 2026, I remain convicted that Chinese tech stocks will continue to shine as the Chinese compete with the US not just to play catch up but to be the next world leader and the Chinese do have it going for them with their hunger to lead and the expertise that they have. With geopolitical tensions, I don’t think the Chinese government will impose restrictions on them as they too need the Chinese tech to shine. Maybe I do regret missing out on the gold rally but this is an asset class I do
