Looking back on 2025, it is most clear that when it comes to investing, a properly diversified portfolio of investments and persistent are most important. A well-balanced portfolio with a long-term goals based view has help to soften the impact of the short-term spikes during April and other months. Persistence pays, proven by S&P 500 index rising from 4835 to 6881 despite so much volatility in the market. Thanks & big ‘Like’ @TigerEvents @icycrystal @melson @GoodLife99 @rL
Bullish on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ for long term. The current three-way chip war may looks like the chip rivals are steadily siphoning away NVDA’s revenue but Nvidia has established an unshakable de-facto standard with its GPU hardware + CUDA ecosystem.

Losing money in the market always reminds me to look even harder at the risk of the next stock I am going to acquire. We should always trade with due diligence in order not to lose money. Do not let risk take us by surprise and remorse. The market is a monster that does not care about us at all! So we need to be prepared at all times and accept the fact that every trade can potentially lose money. That mindset can helps us fend off the Fear of missing out and prevents us from investing in any stock blindly. Thanks @TigerEvents @TigerStars @Tiger_comments @Tiger_SG
For S&P 500 to reach 7400 by year-end, it has to continually do well to climb one hundred points in the coming month. At 6602.99 now, the S&P 500 needs a magic wand, perhaps in the form of a surprise policy from Santa President Donald Trump! At the meantime, one can cautiously optimistic dip buy Google. Google’s rise has put its relative strength index in “overbought” territory which could lead to volatility. Google is still strong as a good long term investment because of its ability to monetize AI innovation, diversified business lines and its strong financials.

Top-Down Investing during catastrophe; Bottom-Up Investing during boom time! During geopolitical crisis one can use the top-down approach to identify the promising sectors and selects specific stocks. Whereas in prosperity time when economy is generally stable, bottom-up approach focuses on company fundamentals which enable one to acquire undervalued stocks with great fundamentals. Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrystal @TigerStars @Tiger_SG Thanks for tag!
NVDA share price looks set to rise above $200. It has risen +3.98% within one hour after market opens today, following its big rise 10% after results. With Donald Trump asking the Congress to reject the bill curbing NVDA’s AI chips export to China, NVDA’s stock price will definitely propel even higher. Thanks @Daily_Discussion
🔥 The Fear Index is now squarely in “Extreme Fear”. $1.5 trillion was lost from US stock market in just 48 hours due especially to tech stock crash, Bitcoin tanked and rate cut hopes fade. Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow have seen days of falling and are still spiraling downward. My $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ share price has dropped more than 5%. I am all eyes on its third quarter earnings due after the closing bell. My plan actually is to buy the dip with whatever spare cash I have. I believe in Nvidia’s resilience!💪🏻 Thanks @TigerEvents @TigerStars @Tiger_SG
I must have believed in long-term investing to be still standing tall after the CLOB clobbing, Asian Financial Crisis and the Subprime crash which led to severe economic recession. Long-term investing includes holding individual stocks, ETFs, or bonds for years to benefit from gradual appreciation and compounding. Key strategies include focusing on strong companies with good fundamentals, consistent earnings growth, a competitive advantage, and a history of paying good dividends. Use as many “punches” as we can with dollar cost averaging regularly to build a resilient portfolio including $Apple(AAPL)$, $American Express(AXP)$, $Bank of America(BAC)$,
The longest-held Singapore stock one can have is $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$. Is was incorporated during the Great Depression on 31 October 1932. It was a merger of 3 Hokkien banks dating back to 1912. During those years we held the share certificates of the bank to prove our ownership. OCBC has acquired more banks and grown steadily over the century, surviving the Second World War. This is a resilient and solid bank as good as gold. We keep it for the reliable twice-yearly dividend income. Even if one only started investing in OCBC 10 years ago, the total dividends collected and the growth in share price would amount to 119% gain over the initial cost. That translates into a compound annual growth rate of 8.2% over 10 years, well beating the long-term
