My 2025 Investment Wins: Turning Daily Put Premiums into Steady Wealth
As 2025 comes to a close, I'm looking back with a huge smile—this year has been a game-changer for my portfolio! My secret sauce? Selling cash-secured puts every single day on quality, undervalued stocks. Those juicy premiums roll in consistently, and I immediately funnel them into rock-solid, high-liquidity assets like the LionGlobal USD Enhanced Liquidity Fund and Fullerton USD Money Market Fund. It's the perfect combo: generating active income from options while quietly compounding in ultra-safe, USD-denominated funds. Steady wins, low stress, and serious growth. Grateful for the discipline that made this possible—what's the one strategy that crushed it for you in 2025? Drop it below! 👇
China sneezes, Asia catches a cold — and Singapore is no exception. Chinas slowdown means weaker demand, cheaper exports flooding markets, and tense global trade. For Singapore, that impacts: 🔹 Investments — less capital flow into Asia, more volatility; SGX counters tied to China may stay under pressure. 🔹 Business — manufacturing orders can soften; tourism and retail feel the slowdown if Chinese spending stays weak. 🔹 Financial Markets — slower trade = slower growth outlook. Expect swings in currency, equities, and sector rotations (tech & healthcare > property & industrials). Bottom line: Dont just watch Wall Street — watch Beijing. China's pain could quietly reshape Singapore's 2025 economy, your portfolio, and how businesses plan for the next decade.

SoftBank's bold pivot: Masayoshi Son just liquidated the firm's entire $5.8B NVIDIA stake (and chunks of T-Mobile too) to go ALL IN on OpenAI with a massive $22.5B funding commitment. They're even leveraging Arm holdings as collateral to seal the deal by year-end. Talk about doubling down on AI dominance! But the risks? Massive concentration in one volatile sector—OpenAI's sky-high valuation could pop like an AI bubble, regulatory hurdles loom (antitrust, ethics), and SoftBank's track record (WeWork vibes) screams "high-stakes gamble." If OpenAI pays off, genius. If not? Ouch. What do you think—smart move or recipe for disasters? $Softbank Holdings(BK4549)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
It's Christmas Eve 2025, markets are closed, S&P 500 sitting near all-time highs around 6,890, $TSLA flirting with $490–$500 on Robotaxi/FSD hype, Bitcoin hovering ~$88K after teasing $90K... And if your portfolio is STILL in the red this year? We've had one of the wildest bull runs—AI crushing, Tesla mooning, BTC fighting back—yet some bags are down 20-50% on old plays, legacy stuff, or "diversified" into losers. Reality check: Holding stubborn underperformers while winners print ATHs isn't patience... it's pain. Rotate. Reallocate. Add exposure to what's working. Or stay on the sidelines watching everyone else eat. No FOMO shame— just facts. The market doesn't care about your entry price. What's your move before 2026 kicks off? Still holding the bag... or finally upgrading?
US GDP out today @4.3% well above market estimate of 3.3%. Market will react fast — but listen carefully. Strong GDP: Bullish short term. Stocks pump, risk-on, yields may spike → rate cuts get pushed back. Weak GDP: Markets cheer initially (rate cuts hope), but longer term = growth slowdown fears. Near term: volatility + knee-jerk moves. Long term: GDP decides the Fed's pace — and that sets the ceiling for stocks. This data isn't about today's candle. It's about the next 6–12 months. $Apple(AAPL)$ $Micron Technology(MU)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$
Buying shares sounds easy… until you sell. You profit ✅ You exit ✅ Then comes the pain. Do you buy back higher? Or wait forever for a dip that never comes? 😐 This is the dirty truth of stocks: 👉 Profits create hesitation. You're no longer investing — you're negotiating with your own ego. Options flip the game. No attachment. Defined risk. Get paid to wait. Shares make money. Options manage psychology. Different tools. Different mindset. 👇 Be honest: After selling shares at a profit — do you re-enter, or freeze? Stocks or options — which one messes with your head more? $Strategy(MSTR)$ $Apple(AAPL)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$
