I think Netherlands is like $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.A)$ they have the Rolls Royce at the centre of defence, namely Big Virg who is rock solid and the backbone of the team just like Mr Buffett is for Berkshire. Just like the stock, Netherlands don't display flashy moves but are steady most of the time.
Been slowly DCA-ing into $KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF(KWEB)$ for awhile now because I truly believe that it's just a matter of time before it bounces back with the Chinese being the world's 2nd strongest economic powerhouse. Too bad I don't have enough "bullet" [Cry] else would have loved to invest more . Anyway, this spike is probably due to market sentiment after the easing strategies by the Chinese government so rushing in now due to FOMO might be a bit unwise, just my 2 cents....Will continue to stay invested in this ETF by the way, in it for the long run [Miser]
The recent months has been depressing for my portfolio to an extent that I no longer check on them [Facepalm] The stocks which I've been anticipating for a long time plunged ridiculously although the companies are still doing fine, if not great. One thing I've learnt, at least for myself, never put all eggs in a basket especially for anyone for who has a low appetite for risks. Diversification is the key. It's true that your rewards might not be as lucrative but it surely allows you sleep better at night! So my way going forward is focusing more on ETFs by investing steadily on a monthly basis. Wish me luck [smile]
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ very much Bullish. Elon Musk put all his weight on Trump's team throughout the campaign and it's already paying off since the victory is all but confirmed. With Trump now firmly on his side, his further inventions will surely benefit from the regulatory front. In short, the only way forward is up now for Tesla... The 300 mark is certainly not out of reach.
I'm going to keep buying $KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF(KWEB)$ The Chinese government has loosened their Zero-Covid policy and Chinese stocks has been alive once more. Money is flowing again and people might say it's overbought but guess what? Their economy is undeniable a force to be reckoned with and it will stay that way for a foreseeable future. That being said, Imma keep firing my bullets whilst the price is affordable [Grin]
My earliest exposure to football was during the 2002 World Cup held in Japan and Korea. The final was a thrilling affair with Ronaldo (the OG, not CR7[LOL] ) in his own element alongside his fellow "R" s, namely Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos and the rest. They Samba-ed their way to the World Cup trophy in an enthralling final which ended in 2-0 with Ronaldo scoring a brace. After the World Cup, the football fever did not fade. I was a primarily school kid back then. The craze really caught onto everyone. Football games during the PT classes were never the same again, with a friend of mine even spotting the weird Ronaldo haircut which looks horrible by the way[Chuckle] That World Cup will forever have a special place in my heart, being my first
It will still be pretty hawkish. During such period, I choose to stay less invested in tech stocks as they're quite susceptible to interest rate hikes and market sentiment. It'd be a decent idea to start allocating a portion of our funds in some fixed rate bonds since it's not everyday we have sky-rocketting interest rates, which might also mean it will gradually be reduced too because what goes up must come come down, right? [Sly] Another way to keep investing in such volatile market is to buy into high dividend stocks which are not cyclical. These are the companies which provide our essential items. They are all but certain to withstand any type of markets. #stayinvested
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ I don't understand the business model well enough to invest in their stock although the price has plunged. Besides, Elon Musk has been putting quite some effort on Twitter lately so his focus on Tesla has somehow lessened at least for now. Unless I have some extra cash lying around, I dare not place any fund in stocks which I don't really have a good grasp due to my relatively low risk appetite no matter how low the price is. Invest in your circle of competence guys [Sly]
$Walt Disney(DIS)$ The movie that I look forward to the most would be Deadpool 3. It'll surely be hilarious and action-packed, just like the first two films. However, the reason why I'm so pumped for this upcoming sequel is the comeback of The Wolverine! Just when I thought Hugh Hackman has already hung up the claws for good after Logan, *SNIKT he's back! But well, the release date (2024) is still quite a distant future [Smug] Since Marvel has been bought by Disney in 2009, it's a gift that keeps on giving. Movies after movies, series after series, they just kept scaling new heights (minus probably some not-up-to-mark series recently [LOL] ) . Will they profit from those upcoming series/movies? Probably. Bu
