I read from Straits Times and decided to buy some gold ETFs since I’m unsure if investing in physical gold bars or jewelry is as effective. I was surprised by how much gold prices can fluctuate even in relatively "peaceful" times (not counting the Ukraine-Russia war, as it has been ongoing for some time). I thought gold would be rather stable. I don’t have any particularly unforgettable experiences, but I believe it offers a sense of security, especially in turbulent times. I remember my ex-company giving away a small gold bar as the top lucky draw prize—that’s the lasting value of gold. For 2025, I expect gold to remain strong, possibly reaching new highs if inflation and global instability persist.

based on technical indicators. it is oversold and due for at least a relief rally. if POTUS can keep quiet, i am sure the market will advance as we are still in a bull market. my options died but i am hopeful long term. brought small

i been hearing a lot about quantum technology from my colleagues and discussions on Tiger. The related stocks have moved up but also pulled back. However, awareness is growing and more people recognise the long-term potential. If innovation keeps advancing, quantum stocks could be the next big thing. I see this as an confirm chop technological progression. It is a question of “when” rather than “if"

Mcd for the win. i think it is a fair comparison tool that adjust for the currency and country economic strength. I probably can buy say 3.5 burger per hr. pretty average. at least i know i will have meals and full. lol

At the rate we are going with tariff, weird white house antics, talking down others... all only wane down the influence of West while the East’s rising influence is undeniable, especially in the global financial markets and emerging technologies. So yes, long term, East may vome out top. I see Hong Kong market may continue to perform in certain sectors, especially those aligned with China's economic priorities. Especially those tied to high-growth sectors like technology, renewable energy. To recover my earlier loss, i hope HK trend holds and the newly listed gives a boost to the market

To me, improving stock trading skills will help maintain, rather than jeopardize, family harmony. I feel that a losing trade can affect us emotionally, and that can spill over into family life. So, having reasonable trading outcomes will make the experience a positive one for both me and my family. This assumes that we can openly communicate our financial goals As for losing money, I’m at a stage where I’m okay with taking risks. Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but it’s key to focus on supporting each other and learning from those experiences together. If both partners are on the same page and have a plan for managing losses, it could actually strengthen the relationship in the long run 👍🏻

Did you buy the dip in February? >> Yes, instead of going all in, I sold puts as I believed stocks could find support and bounce. What do you think about the market trend in March? >> I expect the first week to remain stagnant or see slight dips, as uncertainty around tariffs continues to weigh on sentiment. will be choppy. Will volatility increase in March? >> Yes, I anticipate volatility to persist or even rise. Hope there will be a market direction soon.

I am cautious about Duolingo’s growth. Language learning is not new and other than direct translation, it still depends on individuals' interest level and motivation to learn. something that AI cannot help with. Thus, Mandarin's complexity could cause user drop-off. Especially after the novelty dies off. Can still just post pics and English text anyway. I used Duolingo to learn languages before but wasn't persistent so i pretty much only remember conversational words, lol. Learning Mandarin takes consistency especially on the tones. Have conversation practice and watch chinese drama!!! I prefer app translation as it is convenient and can use phone for text. But i missing the cultural nuances which I appreciates in enjoying the local culture/living

No, I don’t trade every day, though I’m always psyched to watch the market. I get pretty absorbed in following market movements, and when I try to predict trends, I sometimes find myself a bit addicted—it’s hard not to get emotionally invested, especially with money on the line It can even affect my mood at times. That’s why I’m focusing on improving my risk management and emotional control. My goal is to approach trading with a long-term mindset, as I’m in it to build financial gains over time

Yes, Bitcoin hit $100k as it is a key level which is self fulfilling. especially for people keen to take profit. Like myself, i will take at $100k as price above is a discovery process with nothing to gauge by. i also ask myself if it is really worth that much other than the news revolving around a Trump. A correction may slow or start to reverse the bull market, both equities and the crypto.

no, trump is not above the law! keep our Fed poweerrrr jerommeee

i run more often but i swim to relax and recover !

choose Trump over Harris as the show must go on. A lot people invested in it! from small fry to biz and national level. Trump focuses on corporate tax cuts which could be a further boost to business investment and job creation. Last we want is to see US economy die.

let's goooo

Better to be on defensive. it scares me a little when the big boys ask retail to buy buy buy! and everyone is feeling euphoria from recent marlet highs. It just keep rallying! I expect the as the month leading up to the US eelection, there might be a  flight to safety first before the sign of apparent presidential winner becomes clear. Hoping if it happens, I am focus and will buy at the next dip.

i am not apple eco system user but i will consider airpods as they are popular with running enthusiasts. airpods has good fit and sound quality. a they are good as long i do not drop them after my run, lol
