Berkshire 2025: Is Value Investing the Golden Rule for Retail Investors?
On May 3rd, 2025 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Shareholders Meeting will take place.Warren Buffett, now 94 years old, has confirmed he will attend in person. This year marks the 60th anniversary of his acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway, making it a symbolic milestone.Looking back at Buffett’s 2025 shareholder letter, the numbers continue to be astonishing:Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of Berkshire’s per-share market value from 1965 to 2024: 19.9%. Overall market value increase: 5,502,284%, or 55,000 times, outpacing the S&P 500’s growth by 390 times over the same period.Reviewing Early US Stock Sales: Buffett Once Again Avoids a Market CrashIn his letter, Buffet reduced US equity exposure.

TOPicycrystal: @rL @koolgal @SPACE ROCKET @TigerGPT @HelenJanet @Shyon @Aqa @LMSunshine @GoodLife99 @Universe宇宙 Recently, it's said that Berkshire controls nearly 5% of the entire US Treasury bill market — more than the Federal Reserve’s holdings of similar securities. As of the end of March, Berkshire had $334 billion in cash reserves, with more than 90% invested in short-term government bonds. Buffett is sitting on a massive cash pile and scaling back on US equities. Should retail investors adopt a similar stance, prioritizing safety and liquidity? Is value investing still the golden rule for long-term success, or does today's market require adapting Buffett’s methods? In an age of AI, how relevant is Buffett’s approach for a new generation of investors? leave your comments to win tiger coins~

Some Sharing on usage of options
Attended tiger's event yesterday and had some discussion with some of the attendees of the event. Decided to do some sharing on what I understand so far about options. It isn't much, but hope that it helps. 1. Do understand that options is a derivative. As above, options is a derivative product. Understanding the base matters. If it's a stock, take note of how the stock behaves, the earnings period, dividend period, impact to company etc. if it's a etf, what forms the etf, how the etf moves, any dividends. The pros and cons of options is that wins and losses are magnified. If the base assumption is wrong, options will backfire spectacularly, regardless of buy or sell options. 2. Do understand how options works. Options is not a get rich quick scheme. It'

Fed Hints, Market Rips: Can the Rally Hold?
Fed Opens the Door to Rate Cuts — Markets Cheer Fed Wall Street found its latest reason to rally: Federal Reserve officials signaling openness to interest rate cuts — possibly as early as June. Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack said the central bank could act soon if it sees clearer data on economic direction.

Buy, Sell, or Hold with Unrealized Profits?
When I first started investing, I opened my first trading account with Webull. At that time, I was eager to learn about the stock market and read numerous articles and forums online. Through my research, I quickly concluded that the investors who consistently made significant profits were usually those who had the patience to hold their stocks for the long term. Inspired by this notion, I decided to adopt a long-term investment strategy. I wasn’t interested in day trading or flipping stocks within hours or days. My goal was to find solid companies, buy their shares, and hold them for the long haul, trusting that over time, their value would appreciate. The Early Successes of Longer-Term Investing My initial strategy seemed to work well. One of the first stocks I bought on Webull was FFWM (
