Seeing the robotics names explode after the latest comments from the Commerce Secretary definitely caught my attention. When Nauticus doubles in a day and iRobot jumps more than 70%, it's clear that the market is treating "Trump plays" the same way it treated crypto, AI Stargate, and rare-earth stocks earlier this year—fast, speculative, and narrative-driven. I get why traders are chasing it, but I'm also aware that these kinds of moves usually come with big reversals. Would I join the hype? Honestly, only with a very small, high-risk portion of my portfolio. These small-cap robotics stocks move purely on sentiment and political headlines, not fundamentals. They can deliver massive returns in a short time, but they can evaporate just as quickly once the narrative cools down. If I were to t
Honestly, with the strong China delivery numbers and the renewed push from the U.S. government toward accelerating robotics, I feel like Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 1.5X Shares(TSLL)$ $GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF(TSLR)$ is finally getting some momentum back. For months, sentiment around the stock has been stuck in "wait-and-see" mode, but Optimus being pushed back into the spotlight definitely changes the tone. Robotics has always been one of the most important long-term optionalities for Tesla, and now the market is being reminded of it again. When T
Looking back on 2025, I feel like this year challenged me, pushed me, and shaped me into a more disciplined investor. I learned to stay calm during volatility, stick to my strategy, and trust the process—even when the market tried to shake my confidence. More importantly, I learned that reflection is just as valuable as returns. For 2026, I’m setting a clear target and committing to it. I want my returns to be meaningful, sustainable, and backed by real conviction. Whether the market gives us smooth sailing or another roller coaster, I’m ready to stay focused and level up with every round of the Million Dollar Carnival. Consistency is my edge going into the new year. And if I ever earned a million dollars? I’d split it wisely—some for growth, some for stability, and a portion to reward my
I've been watching the precious-metals rally closely, and to me, silver's breakout to new highs is a strong sign that the bull cycle is broadening—not just driven by gold alone. When silver outperforms, it often reflects improving market confidence, stronger industrial-demand expectations, and rising liquidity flowing into higher-beta assets. This kind of price action usually happens in the later stages of a precious-metals uptrend, so I see silver's strength as a confirmation rather than a warning signal. At the same time, gold breaking out of its consolidation range and heading toward the next major zone around 4,300 suggests that rate-cut expectations are starting to be priced in more aggressively. Historically, when markets anticipate easier monetary policy, gold tends to lead early an
I believe AI will stay the dominant theme in 2026. Recent results from MDB, MRVL, and CRWD show that AI demand is broadening beyond hyperscalers into software and security, signaling a long-term structural trend rather than a short cycle. I think Dan Ives’ updated list makes sense. CoreWeave, IREN $IREN Ltd(IREN)$ , and Shopify $Shopify(SHOP)$ fit the growing need for compute, energy-heavy AI infrastructure, and AI-driven commerce. The removals also feel reasonable given their weaker positioning in the AI monetization curve. My top AI pick remains the major platforms like Nvidia $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ or Microsoft $Microsoft(MS
From my perspective, JPMorgan’s $JPMorganChase(JPM)$upgrades confirm that Singapore’s financial sector remains healthy, and the STI still has room to climb. DBS $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ continues to lead with strong dividends and capital strength, OCBC $ocbc bank(O39.SI)$ looks increasingly attractive as a balanced GARP choice, while UOB $UOB(U11.SI)$ may stay volatile but remains reasonable for patient holders. SGX
From this first TA lesson, the biggest takeaway for me is how much volume improves trend confirmation. The “healthy uptrend” idea—higher highs/lows with rising volume on rallies and lighter volume on pullbacks—makes trend reading far more reliable. It’s a simple but powerful way to judge real buying conviction. The valid breakout pattern also stood out. The TSLA example showed perfectly why strong volume is essential during a breakout. Without that 150–200% surge in participation, most breakouts are just noise. This helps filter out a lot of false signals I used to get caught in. For NVDA, I notice it previously followed the healthy uptrend pattern, with rising volume supporting its push higher. It matches exactly what we learned today. Excited to see the next part of the series!
I really like the upgraded Tiger Coin system — it feels a lot more rewarding now that I can earn coins just by doing what I already do daily, like logging in and making trades. The new Member Centre layout is also a nice touch; it’s cleaner, easier to navigate. If there were more ways to earn Tiger Coins, I’d love to see missions tied to learning or community engagement — for example, rewards for completing educational modules, attending webinars, or joining market discussions. Small challenges like “complete your watchlist” or “set up a price alert” could also make the experience more interactive while helping users make better use of the platform. As for rewards, I’d definitely appreciate more practical items in the Tiger Mall — things like research report credits, charting tools, or ev
When I look at Tesla's latest China numbers, I actually see strength building beneath the surface. The November wholesale figures showed solid year-on-year growth, and the momentum from October seems to be carrying through. For a market that has been extremely competitive this year, these stabilizing trends tell me demand is finding its footing at exactly the right moment heading into year-end. Europe remains soft, but even the "less terrible" results from Germany helped tone down the bearish sentiment. What stood out to me was the market reaction: Tesla managed to trade green while many China EV names slipped. To me, that's a clear sign that investors are beginning to shift away from viewing Tesla purely through the lens of quarterly auto volume. Instead, the market is slowly leaning into
From my view, the chip battle between Nvidia, Google, and Amazon is heating up, but Nvidia’s CUDA $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ecosystem still gives it a strong edge. Even so, Google’s TPU $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ and Amazon’s $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ Trainium have scaled enough that they’re clearly pulling some workloads away and putting real pricing pressure on Nvidia. I also think Amazon’s AI chip progress is still undervalued. With over a million Trainium units deployed and Trainium2 ramping fast, AWS is positioning itself as a major alternative. Combined with Marvell’s photonics move and Broadcom’s ASIC wins, the industry is clearly shifting toward more diversified AI compute. A
