My top performer in May was $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ , with a return of over 400%. I had built this position earlier based on strong conviction in Palantir’s growth in AI and data analytics. As their earnings beat expectations and investor sentiment improved, the stock surged — and I was well-positioned to benefit. My approach combined long-term conviction with short-term swing trades. I held a core PLTR position but also added on dips and took profits on spikes. With the AI theme gaining traction, PLTR’s real-world applications stood out, attracting momentum traders and institutions alike. I skipped the HK IPOs this time, as the U.S. tech rally offered better setups. Stocks like PLTR showed explosive moves, and my strategy focused on

If my savings could cover my basic expenses, I’d seriously consider moving to a slower-paced, lower-cost city where my Singapore dollars stretch further. Chiang Mai stands out — a relaxed lifestyle, great food, and a vibrant expat scene, all for much less than what I’d pay back home. A spacious apartment for SGD 580/month compared to over SGD 3,000 in Singapore? That’s hard to ignore. Honestly, the best lifestyle for Singaporeans might not be in Singapore. The high costs and constant pressure can wear you down. Living abroad in places like Portugal or Malaysia offers better balance — more time, less stress, and the same comforts, but at a fraction of the price. My dream escape would be somewhere peaceful and affordable, like Chiang Mai or southern Portugal. It’s not about giving up on Sin

Spending SGD Abroad: Which Dream City Would You Move To?
If your savings can cover your basic expenses, which dream city would you move to? Is the best lifestyle for Singaporeans not living in Singapore? Where does your SGD stretch the furthest?In 2024, Mr. Chen from Singapore was laid off. He had worked at Google for nearly a decade and saved up about SGD 2.56 million. After assessing his finances, he realized that even without working, his investment interests, dividends, and capital gains were more than enough to support his lifestyle.So, he took this opportunity to give himself a break — and chose to move with his wife to Chiang Mai, a city known for its low cost of living and high quality of life.Life in Chiang Mai has been incredibly relaxing. There’s no rush or stress. He wakes up every morning to cook breakfast for his wife without worry
Below, I evaluate the SGX as an investment market with a focus on valuation, dividend yield, and specific stocks to consider, drawing on recent data and market insights. Valuation of the SGX Market The SGX is known for its relatively attractive valuations compared to other developed markets, though it’s not without challenges: Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratios: The Straits Times Index (STI), a key benchmark for SGX, has historically traded at lower P/E ratios than global peers like the S&P 500. As of recent data, the STI’s P/E ratio is around 12-14x, compared to the S&P 500’s 20-25x, suggesting Singapore stocks are relatively undervalued. Market Performance: The STI has shown resilience amid global uncertainties, with a 14.3% return over the past year, outperforming the broader Singap

Oil’s Short-Term Rally Can’t Mask Medium-Term Risks: Where Are the Market’s Investment Opportunities
1. Recent Review of Oil Price TrendsAt the beginning of April, the international crude oil market suffered a significant drop, with Brent crude and WTI crude both falling below key support levels of $68 and $64 respectively. This decline was primarily triggered by the dual pressures of a tariff shock initiated by the United States and an unexpectedly large production increase by OPEC+. Over the following month and a half, oil prices oscillated within a range of roughly $10, with WTI fluctuating between $55 and $65, while Brent traded between $58 and $68. In the absence of any major systematic risk events, prices are likely to continue fluctuating within this range; however, in the medium term, there remains a genuine risk of a further breakdown.图表信息:WTI原油日K线The daily candlestick chart for

You might have missed it with all the news/noise of this year, but if you look in the right places you’ll find a burgeoning thematic capex boom — and many of these themes are set to run over multiple years and at major scale.Key themes and drivers of the Capex Boom:Electrification: the rise and rollout of electronic vehicles (especially in China) + the infrastructure to enable that such as charging stations, breakthroughs and scaling of battery technology + the things that enables (e.g. solar), and increased energy investment to fuel the resultant rise in demand.Energy Transition: this spans things like smart grids and infrastructure improvement but also an apparent showdown between renewable energy and nuclear energy as the receivers of the baton from oil & gas in the great global ene
