My 2025 soundtrack line would be: “I’m still standing, better than I ever did.” It’s been my most replayed lyric this year, and it stuck because it captures both the chaos and resilience that defined the markets—and my mindset through them. This line sums up my year in investing: staying disciplined through volatility, sticking to my plan, and not letting noise shake me out of good positions. There were sharp drawdowns, AI hype swings, and plenty of second-guessing moments, but I kept averaging in, trimming when needed, and respecting risk instead of chasing headlines. In life too, it fits. 2025 wasn’t about perfection—it was about consistency. Showing up, staying rational when emotions ran hot, and trusting that steady progress beats dramatic moves. Still standing, still learning, and st
I see this Nasdaq $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ pullback more as an AI anxiety overreaction than the start of a true bubble burst. The market is repricing timelines and margins, not abandoning AI itself. Oracle’s delays and Broadcom’s margin comments hurt sentiment, but they don’t change the long-term demand for compute, networking, and AI software. This feels like valuation compression amid Fed uncertainty and policy noise, not a structural break. For my own tech exposure, I’m not adding aggressively and not panic-selling. I’m trimming selectively where valuations ran ahead of fundamentals, while holding core positions in companies with strong moats and balance sheets. I’m also keeping some cash on hand, as volatility could create better entry points. Long
Broadcom's latest earnings clearly show that the company is executing well operationally. Adjusted EPS of $1.95 and revenue of $18.02 billion for fiscal Q4 beat analyst expectations, and year-over-year growth of 37% in earnings and 28% in sales is impressive. AI semiconductor sales, which jumped 74% YoY, were a major contributor, and the guidance for Q1 revenue of $19.1 billion — up 28% YoY — underscores that Broadcom continues to ride strong demand in the AI and data center markets. On paper, this is a robust performance. That said, the market reaction tells a different story. Broadcom stock fell more than 4% in after-hours trading despite the earnings beat. The reason seems to be the $73 billion backlog in AI products, which, surprisingly, disappointed some investors. It appears that exp
For me, investing in precious metals has always been about patience and long-term value rather than short-term speculation. I've held both gold and silver positions, and it's been rewarding to see silver hitting a fresh all-time high. It's impressive how silver has outpaced gold recently, showing strong momentum and renewed investor interest. Gold, on the other hand, seems to be entering a rebound phase. I've been closely following institutional forecasts, and seeing some analysts raise gold's price target to $5,000 in 2026 definitely reinforces my confidence in its long-term potential. While my gold position has already delivered decent gains, I remain patient, knowing that precious metals tend to reward those who can stay invested through volatility. I think both metals have their merits
For me, investing is not about chasing quick gains—it’s about patience and value. I focus on identifying companies with strong fundamentals, sustainable growth, and long-term potential, then allow time and compounding to do their work. True investment success comes from resisting short-term noise and staying disciplined, letting the intrinsic value of the assets gradually reflect in the market. Patience isn’t passive—it’s an active confidence in the principles of value investing. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @TigerEvents
For me, 2025 was the year I finally stepped into options trading—and I’m glad I started. I’m still a beginner, but my first trade, a PLTR call, ended with a small profit and gave me the confidence to explore options. Even so, I still trade mostly the underlying stocks because I’m not fully comfortable with the complexities of options yet. I prefer to take things slow while I learn about strike selection, expiration management, and position sizing, so sticking with shares kept my portfolio steady through the year’s volatility. AI was the biggest driver of my portfolio in 2025, and starting my options journey with Palantir felt fitting. The sector’s strength carried my performance, and I’m looking forward to building on what I learned as I continue improving my option strategies in 2026. I’
I’m fully on board with the space-stock rally, and the excitement around a potential SpaceX IPO really feels like Tesla in 2019—right before its major breakout. Space names such as $Destiny Tech100 Inc(DXYZ)$ , XOVR, Rocket Lab, Firefly, Planet Labs, SATS, AST SpaceMobile are gaining because investors finally see space infrastructure as a scalable, long-term growth sector. What’s driving this momentum is the belief that SpaceX is evolving far beyond a launch company. Starlink, defense contracts, rapid-launch capability, even the idea of space-based data centers are expanding its valuation outlook. Strong earnings from Planet Labs & SATS’s multibillion-dolla
Oracle's $Oracle(ORCL)$ latest earnings were definitely disappointing, and the market reaction makes sense to me. When both total revenue and cloud revenue come in below expectations, it signals that the company's growth engine isn't firing as strongly as investors were hoping—especially in a period where hyperscalers and AI-driven cloud demand are supposed to be accelerating. The revenue miss alone would've been enough to pressure the stock, but the rest of the report added even more uncertainty. What really stood out to me was the -$10 billion in free cash flow. That's not a small deviation—it's a major swing that raises questions about underlying cash-generation strength. I understand that Oracle is in
The latest rate cut feels like a textbook "dovish move wrapped in a hawkish message." On one hand, the Fed delivered the sixth cut since last year and the third consecutive meeting-based reduction, which clearly signals they're still leaning toward supporting growth. But on the other hand, the Dot Plot is sending a very mixed signal for 2026, with officials scattered across a wide range of expectations. When seven officials see no further cuts in 2026 while others expect up to 150 bps of easing, it tells me the Fed is deeply uncertain about the trajectory of inflation, labor markets, and long-term equilibrium rates. To me, the most important part isn't the extremes—it's the median. The fact that the median 2026 projection still shows just one more 25-bp cut makes the Fed sound more hawkish
I found this episode on Moving Averages very helpful — the explanations of SMA, EMA, and how MA reflects the market’s “average holding cost” made the concepts much easier to apply. The points on slope and inflection also gave me a clearer way to judge trend strength beyond basic crossovers. In practice, I use the 200-day SMA for long-term trend direction, while EMAs like the 20 and 50 help me react faster in shorter timeframes. They give earlier signals, but I stay cautious during sideways markets to avoid whipsaws. The AMD divergence example was a good reminder that price alone can mislead, and confirming MA signals with RSI or volume is essential. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s charts and sharing more insights in the event! @Tige
I found this episode really practical — breaking MA behaviour into six patterns makes chart reading much clearer. I mainly watch breakouts and alignment; an upward breakout followed by bullish alignment usually confirms the trend, while deep entanglement is still my cue to stay cautious. It’s interesting how these simple patterns often reflect real market sentiment. Recently, I’ve seen a few early golden cross setups after consolidation, and also some short-bull/long-bear divergences — useful to monitor but still too risky to chase since the long-term trend is weak. These mixed signals remind me to stay patient instead of forcing trades. I like combining MAs with volume and RSI to filter noise. When a golden cross appears with rising volume or a pullback matches an RSI rebound, the setup
From my point of view, the STI’s $Straits Times Index(STI.SI)$ 25% total return and broad-based strength across mid- and small-caps show how much rate cuts have revived sentiment in Singapore. Even with institutions taking profits, S-REITs still look resilient, and lower funding costs should keep their outlook solid into 2026. Goldman’s $Goldman Sachs(GS)$ warning about weaker U.S. equity returns over the next decade feels reasonable after such an exceptional 10-year run. It doesn’t signal the end of the U.S. bull market, but it does suggest that future gains may be slower and more selective. If I could only pick one region for the next decade, I’d lean toward Asia — especially Singapore — for its val
From my perspective, tonight’s move will hinge less on the 25 bps cut and more on Powell’s tone. A slightly dovish message could spark a quick gap-up in equities and precious metals, though I still expect an early fade as markets digest the details. Positioning is elevated, so any pop may be short-lived. If Powell sounds hawkish, the reaction may actually be muted since the bond market already expects it. Any dip in stocks or metals would likely be modest, and I’d view that kind of pullback as a potential buying window, especially with easing still on the table for 2025. For the 2026 dots, I’d see them as guidance on the Fed’s long-run comfort zone, not a strict plan. Fewer cuts into 2026 would simply signal caution during a soft-landing phase, meaning more near-term volatility but still
I'm leaning toward participating in the silver breakout, but I'm doing it with a balanced mindset. Silver hitting a fresh all-time high while gold is still consolidating tells me the market is clearly rotating toward higher-beta precious metals. With the Fed now almost fully priced in for a 25bp cut, liquidity expectations are shifting, and silver tends to respond more aggressively than gold when real yields begin to soften. That macro setup alone makes the current momentum more believable than a simple speculative spike. That said, I'm not chasing blindly at the top. Silver's historical behavior is fast up, fast down, and AGQ $ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$ — being a leveraged ETF — will amplify not just returns
Morgan Stanley calling 2026 the "robotaxi singularity moment" matches what I've been expecting for some time — the autonomous driving curve is finally steepening. As U.S. cities accelerate regulatory approvals and commercial pilots, we're entering the first real monetization phase for autonomy. For me, this is the first time the industry has both technological readiness and enough political momentum to enable scale deployment. In terms of Tesla, I don't think the robotaxi story is fully priced in. The market has been overly focused on margins, short-term delivery softness, and macro noise, while assigning almost zero value to Tesla's autonomy optionality. If FSD V12.x continues to improve and Tesla manages to demonstrate a genuine L4 experience by 2026, then the valuation model changes ent
Today focus will be on $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ ! The company has secured a strategic partnership with the U.S. Navy to enhance submarine production using its advanced AI and data platforms. Palantir lands $448M Navy ShipOS contract. ShipOS is a new way of doing business that puts Palantir's cutting edge tools in the hands of decision-makers at every level, giving them complete, accurate, real time feedback across the supply chain.
I think Morgan Stanley's downgrade reflects a very real concern: Pop Mart's $POP MART(09992)$ growth runway is clearly slowing. When a company that once relied on explosive expansion suddenly sees its projected revenue growth cut from 30% to 18%, it signals that the market is maturing faster than expected. I agree with the overall direction of the report—even if I don't fully buy into every assumption—because the recent sales data, weaker consumer sentiment, and intensifying competition all suggest that Pop Mart's high-growth phase is tapering off. At the same time, I don't think the stock's 40% drop from the August highs is purely about fundamentals. What I'm seeing now feels like a momentum-driven flush wher
From my view, the $Paramount(PGRE)$ – $Netflix(NFLX)$ battle for $Warner Bros. Discovery(WBD)$ is now driven as much by politics as valuation. Paramount’s USD 30 all-cash bid values the full WBD empire higher, while Netflix’s mixed cash-stock offer faces more regulatory pushback. With WBD trading above USD 27.75, the market is clearly expecting either a higher bid or a longer fight. For trading, Netflix feels like an event-driven name now. With slowing growth and a huge acquisition uncertaint
The United States has approved NVIDIA $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ to export its H200 AI chips to China under a new arrangement where Washington collects a fee from each shipment. President Trump announced the move, positioning it as a strategic balance between national security and economic benefit. NVIDIA shares rose about 2% in after-hours trading following the announcement, reflecting investor confidence. The approval will also extend to other U.S. chipmakers like AMD $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ and Intel $Intel(INTC)$ . The H200 chip is one of NVIDIA's mos
Today focus will definitely be $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ as Trump team allows Nvidia to ship its H200 chips to China! Trump has approved the export of Nvidia’s H200 chips to China, on the condition that 25% of the related revenue must be handed over to the U.S. government. However, the latest Blackwell series and the upcoming Rubin chips are still banned from export, meaning China can only purchase second-tier products. Given Nvidia’s extremely high gross margin of 75%, even if the company absorbs that 25% levy itself, it would still be profitable—and in most cases, the cost will likely be passed on to Chinese customers. Jensen Huang has long argued that the more China relies on Nvidia and the CUDA ecosystem, the more the U.S. can control the standards and
