A lot of trading mistakes is due to having too HIGH expectations for big results. This causes stress, anxiety, poor judgement and overconfidence.This can happen in 2 ways:1. You lost money now you want to make it back. Well, then you start to force trades, revenge trade, take big positions and make a bunch of other mistakes.2. You made a lot of money now you think you are unstoppable.You got lucky a few times so now you think you don't need to manage risk, increase position size and double your money.🔑TakeawayStay focused and keep calm at all times.Continue improving trading system and processIn the middle of trading don't change your process only do it afterwards when you review.Consistency is what you are striving for as a trader nothing else (yes, nothing else)._________________________
Daily Charts - Tech Stocks are a lot of things, but they are definitely not cheap
1.Tech Stocks are a lot of things, but they are definitely *not* cheap...Still a long way to go, and still beholden to the market cycle (even if it doesn't feel like it) $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Image2.I sometimes like to ponder as a thought experiment: what if the entire stockmarket was owned by passive investors... what would it mean, how would things work in that world?(and then how close to that world do you even need to go to see that?)Image3.Gold at extreme expensive levels...While there are strong monetary tailwinds and an entrenched bull trend, this alongside overbought technicals, consensus bullishness, and extended flows/positioning make for an uncertain outlook.
$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ - Pullback Delayed? or was the 200DMA the Checkpoint Before Retrace? The candle shows indecision for big tech, and price action is overbought. ⚠️Next week is make or break time, and the closest gap is very likely to act as a magnet. As long as the price stays above $480 the bullish momentum continues intact.ImageThe most successful traders reached their level through resilience, not by steering clear of losses. They learned lessons during challenging drawdowns. True mastery is achieved by keep trying, embracing learning opportunities, and adapting when the journey gets tough.Success in trading isn’t about trying to dominate every move. It’s about understanding the game. When you shift your energy from controlling the market to g
POP Mart Rockets With Labubu 3.0! Too Late to Bet on Money Machine?
On April 25, Pop Mart reached a major milestone: its app soared to the No. 1 spot in the Shopping category on the U.S. App Store—a historic first for the Chinese collectible toy giant. Just a day prior, on April 24, the highly anticipated LABUBU 3.0 series launched online in mainland China and sold out instantly, reinforcing LABUBU’s massive global appeal. This frenzy was immediately reflected in the markets. Pop Mart’s stock jumped 12% recently, hitting an all-time high—a remarkable move that captured the attention of both fans and investors. As of now, the stock trades at around HKD 197.70, nearly brushing against its 52-week high of HKD 199, and leagues away from its 52-week low of just HKD 32.96. That’s an almost 500% rise from its low in just one year. POP MART (09992) What’s Driving
US’s GDP for Q1 2025 (Prelim). In my Wed, 30 Apr 2025 post, I have shared Wall Street’s forecast on US’s Q1 2025 GDP (prelim). (click here !for the estimates) When actual report was released, reading was far weaker than the 0.8% shared. (see below) US Q1 2025 - GDP prelim According to the advance estimate released by US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), real gross domestic product (GDP) for Q1 2025 (January, February, & March), came in at -0.3% annual rate. Just for the record, real GDP was 2.4% in Q4 2024, that’s a -2.7% fall. Factors dragged down GDP. Just as I had shared in my Wednesday post, the decrease in real GDP was ‘caused’ by :
If I had to choose between dining with Warren Buffett or Donald Trump, I’d go with Buffett. While Trump’s dinner promises more flash—like the VIP reception and “Golden Palace” tour—I value substance over show. Buffett’s wisdom and long-term investment thinking offer far more meaningful takeaways, even without discussing his next big move. Trump’s event might appeal to those chasing exclusivity or crypto hype, but the disclaimer that he “may be unable to attend” makes it feel more like a marketing ploy. Replacing a missed dinner with an NFT doesn’t exactly build trust or credibility. Buffett has earned respect through decades of consistency and sound judgment. Even if much of his thinking is already in his letters, a personal conversation would still be more valuable than the unpredictable

$TSLA 20250509 250.0 PUT$ TSLA went on a roller coaster today due to the misinformation news of Elon being voted out as CEO. Currently TSLA coming back to an important level at $285. TSLA needs to hold $285 for more upwards movement. Entered my cash secured put position when TSLA retrace back to $284-$285 level earlier. Entered slightly too early but its okay, will see how it plays out. Resistance level to watch out for is $285 (hopefully it will be able to break above and hold this price level), else $286.99 (daily 200SMA), else $291.5. Will exit my position if it hits my price target.
When do you buy? When do you sell? Why buy and why sell? It might sound silly 🤔 but they are the fundamentally most important questions before we even decide to enter a trade. How often have we entered a trade only to regret (especially when it goes straight down)? How often have we sold only for the counters of interest to shoot right up? Finally, how often do we enter a trade we have no idea about, just because somebody else did that? These questions are essential at all times. They are especially important now with the market at one of the most sensitive and insecure times. Obviously, everyone's financial circumstances are different. I can't address every one of them. In fact, since I am not a financial advisor, I have no intention to address any of them. That's not the purpose of this

Reflections Apr 2025: This month is definitely a roller coaster ride. From around $400k portfolio, it went down to $190k. All my years of profit wiped out in that few days. [Cry] Told myself- common to have ups and downs and this is one of them (just that this is deeper) and cannot panic sell. Took this chance to add on Microsoft, United Health and Amazon (with margin). Hope to break my all time high records in May[Miser]
Apple stock Q2 earnings: still not too late to buy
$Apple(AAPL)$ #Apple About a week ago, I argued why $200 is a great entry point for AAPL stock, $Apple(AAPL)$. The prices have gone up a bit by now, but still attractive. Interest readers can take a look of my original analysis below. APPLE STOCK is about to release its fiscal year second quarter earnings report for 2025 in less than a week. It is scheduled on May 1, 2025. The company – together with the overall investing landscape – is experiencing material uncertainties. Here, I will divide these uncertainties into two buckets and analyze their impacts on the stock. The first bucket includes changes that can impact APPLE STOCK’s specific operations, particularly the potential changes in tariff rates that can impact APPLE STOCK profitability metrics. The second bucket will include changes
