๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸThe US stock markets closed higher today as Investors are happy with the recent exemption of smartphones, computers, semiconductors and other electronic components from the levy. VIX, which is the Fear Index, closed down 17%.  However VIX may spike again if there are any negative news. In the short term it is hard to predict actual market movements.  However with the magic of compounding, the markets especially $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ will continue to rise. This is a great opportunity to bargain hunt  great quality stocks such as the Magnificent 7 which are on sale. As Warren Buffett likes to say When there is Fear in the markets it is time to be greedy. @Tiger_commen

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸFrom its humble beginnings in Yunnan, Chagee $Chagee Holdings Limited(CHA)$ has swiftly climbed the ranks to become a leader in the competitive tea beverage sector. Chagee's CEO and Founder Junjie Zhang has an ambitious target of 100 countries and 15 Billion Cups annually in his global expansion drive. Chagee specialises in raw leaf fresh milk tea and combines traditional oriental culture of tea with innovation and modern technologies. Chagee hopes to replicate the IPO success of $MIXUEGROUP(02097)$ in Hong Kong.  While its financial records are impressive, Chagee may face the current  headwinds of sharp declines in US stocks. The good thing about Chagee is that its tea are 100% sourced

I opened 1.0 share(s) $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$  ,SOXL is a leveraged ETF that provides a return that is 300% of the performance of the NYSE Semiconductor Index.  However SOXL is not suitable for long term hold due to its compounding nature.  Semiconductors are the picks and shovels of the AI revolution.  I believe that this sector will do well in the long term. @CaptainTiger  @TigerClub @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG &

I opened 1.0 share(s) $Schwab US Broad Market ETF(SCHB)$  ,๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸSCHB provides me with a comprehensive  access to 2500 US companies.  These include Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap.  At the last closing price of USD 20.68, it packs a lot of power for a tiny price.  SCHB  has a low expense ratio of 0.03%.  Dividends are paid every 3 months.  The next ex  dividend date is June 25 2025.  The current dividend yield is 1.23%.  I have been dollar cost averaging into SCHB as I believe that it will continue to grow exponentially in the future.  @CaptainTiger  @TigerClub

I opened 5.0 share(s) $Schwab US Large-Cap ETF(SCHX)$  ,When the markets are choppy, SCHX provides me with a wide diversification as it tracks 750 of the strongest and largest US companies in the Dow Jones US Large Cap Stock Market Index.  SCHX  has a low expense ratio of just 0.03%, putting more money into my pockets.  The best part of SCHX is the quarterly dividends that it pays.  It went ex dividend on March 26 2025.  The next dividend is due in June 2025.  The current dividend yield is 1.35%.  As a small investor, SCHX is a lot easier on the pockets compared to investing in SPY which closed at USD 539.12 on Monday.  Maximum power, minimum cost! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€๐ŸŒ›๐ŸŒ›๐ŸŒ›๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸUsing a Spread Options Strategy for the Magnificent 7 is a brilliant idea especially when managing risk in volatile markets.  This strategy caps the maximum loss potential and has lower upfront costs.  However the Spread Options Strategy has  limited upside since risk is capped, so is profit. However this options strategy requires an understanding of options pricing and market dynamics.  Not so suitable for beginner investors. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @TigerClub

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIt is absolutely exhausting trying to keep up with Donald Trump's ever changing tariff policies.  While I do stay informed by keeping up with the latest announcements, there is more to life than just watching the news 24 /7. What I can do that is within my control, is to diversify my investments.  My favourite strategy is to hold a diversified portfolio of ETFs in different markets - the US, Hong Kong   Australia and Singapore.  These can help me to reduce my risks from sudden policy changes. Warren Buffett also said "Only buy something that you be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years. It  is about avoiding short term speculation and the power of long term investing. @Tiger_commen

$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ took a beating in the recent upheaval of the global markets due to the US tariffs.  However I am keeping faith that the STI ETF will prevail and in the long term flourish and grow even stronger.  The STI represents 30 of Singapore's best blue chips companies in just 1 powerful ETF.  A good strategy is to dollar cost average into STI ETF and let the magic of compounding happen over time. Go Long Go Strong Go STI ETF! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ @TigerClub  @CaptainTiger  @Tiger_SG  @TigerStars

Is SPYD S&P500 High Dividend ETF A Good Buy?

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸSPYD $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF(SPYD)$ is built to track the S&P500 High Dividend Index by selecting 80 highest yielding stocks from the S&P500 Index.  What distinguishes SPYD is its approach of equally weighting these stocks.  This setup results in an ETF with an attractive dividend yield at 4.79%.  SPYD also has a low expense ratio of just 0.07%.  The Top 10 holdings include CVS Health, Consolidated Edison Inc, Philip Morris International, AT&T Inc, Exelon Corp, JM Smucker Co, Verizon Communications, Altria Group, WEC Energy Group and Crown Castle Inc.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸThe very idea of Going All In means putting all my money  into the market all at once!  Would I do that?  Going All In means I have no safety net if conditions worse. I believe a better way is a diversified approach which helps manage my risk by spreading my exposure across various assets.  This way, even if part of my portfolio suffers, other investments might hold steady or even appreciate.  This cushions the overall impact on my finances. Dollar cost averaging to me is a more prudent approach.  This time tested strategy allows me to invest steadily over time, reducing the risk associated with making a single massive bet at a very uncertain moment in time. Slow and Steady is my mantra rather than Going All In.  That is how I like to invest and achiev

I opened 1.0 share(s) $Global X Nasdaq 100 Covered Call ETF(QYLD)$  ,๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸQYLD has a laser focus on providing dividend income  through a Covered Call Strategy in which it buys stocks in the Nasdaq 100 Index and "writes" or "sells" corresponding call options on the same index.  The current dividend yield is 12.94%.  The best part is that Dividends are paid every month.   QYLD goes ex dividend on April 21.  How good is that! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ @TigerClub  @CaptainTiger @Tiger_comments @TigerStars &nb

I opened 1.0 share(s) $Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF(SCHD)$  ,๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸSCHD is a phenomenal ETF when it comes to paying dividends as its primary focus is to seek companies that have been paying dividends for at least 10 years or more.  The current dividend yield is 3.9% paid every 3 months.  SCHD just went ex dividend in March 2025 and the next dividend is due in June 2025.  SCHD has a low expense ratio of just 0.06%.  When the markets are down, SCHD brings good cheer to the heart. @CaptainTiger  @TigerClub @Tiger_comments

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฅณ If I have to choose which is the hardest thing to predict in the stock market, it would certainly be Policy.  The current market roller coaster ride can be attributed  to Donald Trump's tough tariffs that he imposed on 185 countries . However he is unpredictable like the weather .    He changes his policy day by day .   Yesterday it was sunshine with the tariffs down to 10% across the board with the exception of China which he raised to a huge 145%. However China has retaliated increasing its tariff to the US from 84% to 125% effective from Saturday. A close second would be Sentiment - Fear versus Greed.  Fear causes people to panic sell while Greed causes people to buy like there is no tomorrow.  Amid this market chaos I believe that it i

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸIn just 1 day , one of the biggest market rallies in decades turns to dust as China has just increased its retaliatory tariff from 84% to 125% effective from Saturday . However in the midst of this market carnage , I am keeping faith to stay invested as I am here for the long haul.  My strategy - to continue to dollar cost average into my favourite ETF $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ and let the magic of compounding happen.  To me, investing is a marathon not a sprint. @TigerEvents @TigerStars

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸCan anybody even the experts predict the markets with any certainty?  The answer is impossible especially with the US President Donald Trump.  Ever since he announced the tough trade tariffs , the markets have been totally unpredictable.  He changes his decisions from day to day .    Therefore if I have to choose between Policy , Emotional Swings and Technical Analysis , I would choose Policy.  The current markets are driven by the policy of the US.  A close 2nd to policy is the Emotional Swings .  Traders swing between Fear and Greed and it is very much dependent on the latest news. In times like this, it is important to stay calm and patient as in the long term, the markets will always recover .  Volatility is the price we pay for lo

Fear or Greed Are 2 Emotions That We Need To Be Alert To

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸFear and Greed are 2 extreme emotions that we need to pay attention to.  Fear makes us sell the bottom .  Greed makes us buy the top . Together they can wreck our portfolio leaving a trail of losses behind. Tiger Brokers have a new trading feature called the Fear and Greed Index.  Currently it is sitting at Extreme Fear Level 8.  It is not surprising as we have a US administration that changes their policies sometimes by the hour, leaving the markets in disarray, not knowing what to expect. Yesterday's market was one of  greed with buyers flooding back into the markets , making it one of the fastest recovery on news that Trump is pausing implementing the full trade tariffs and just having a blanket 10% tariff across the board for almost all the 185 cou

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸEven though the current market is volatile, I am keeping faith that my investment in $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ will continue to grow exponentially in the long term.  DBS is the largest bank in Southeast Asia with a market capitalisation of SGD 112.73 billion.  It ticks the core fundamentals of a quality stock with a rock solid balance sheet, is profitable and has an excellent management team. DBS also pays dividends every 3 months.  The current dividend yield is 5.60% which is much better than putting money in the savings account. In the short term, there will be much volatility ahead due to the effect of the US tariffs.  However with a long term horizon, the effect of compounding will reward me with capital growth. In

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸDelta Airlines' Q1 25 earnings report is definitely very impressive - Net profit has, jumped by 548.65% to USD 240 million.  However due to tariffs imposed by the US, Delta may be faced with slowing global demand due to passengers cutting back in travel. Nonetheless Delta Airlines has shown that it is able to trim down costs and that have helped Delta Airlines achieve this excellent earnings  results. Delta Airlines is one of the major US airlines and its forecast on future sales will shed  light on the US economy. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerClub @
