S-REITs Hit 52 Week High! Why Do We Invest in REITs?
Have you ever dreamed of being a landlord, just sitting back and collecting rent?

🚨 Pullback or Pre-CPI Setup? | Stocks to Watch – 8 July
Markets cooled off sharply last Friday. Dow -0.94%, NASDAQ -0.92%, S&P 500 -0.79% — all pointing to risk-off flows heading into a crucial CPI week. Is this the shakeout before a breakout? 🔍 Key Watchlist $CRCL: After a volatile retracement, price is coiling between $180–$205. A BTC move above $110k could ignite a run toward $230. If it breaks $180, next support sits around $155. $MSTR: Underwhelming despite weekend BTC rebound. A hold above $420 could trigger a push to $450. Any weakness in BTC might drag it below $400—put spreads could work. $COIN: Trading under pressure near $240. Implied volatility is high. A surprise CPI print or BTC rally could push it back toward $260. $TSLA: Political tension (Trump-Musk) and robotaxi hype f

Elon Musk starting his own political party against Trump? It might not be a bad thing... as long as he doesn't end up as the US President![Facepalm] [Tongue] I seriously don't like a clever but highly self-centred man being in a powerful position. At least Trump is just greedy and not that clever, so to speak... [Sly] [Tongue] [Silence] Why is it not a bad thing, especially for Tesla? In the short run, with Donald Trump hounding him, it might look very bad for Tesla. I am sure Tesla and other Elon's ventures are going to face additional scrutiny. Trump is just too narrow minded to be forgiving. Nevertheless, Elon Musk is too childish to just give up... it is his traits after all... never say never!!! [Chuckle] [Evil] Why would this be a
You know that famous Warren Buffett quote: “Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.” Sounds great in theory but in practice? It’s a lot harder than it looks. Today, I sold all my shares of Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X ETF (HIBS). I walked away with a small profit, which I’m grateful for. But the decision was far from easy, and I’ll admit. I’m left with a strange mix of relief, doubt, and introspection. Direxion Daily S&P 500 High Beta Bear 3X Shares (HIBS) Why I Bought HIBS in the First Place I entered the position because I had a conviction: the S&P 500 looked overextended in the short term. Valuations were high and optimism was through the roof. HIBS, being a 3x leveraged inverse ETF, offered a way to profit from a potential pullb

Market Overview Global markets ended mixed on July 7 as escalating trade tensions, sparked by renewed U.S. tariff threats, rattled investor confidence. U.S. equities suffered broad-based losses after President Trump confirmed 25% tariffs on imports from Japan and South Korea starting in August. European markets defied the negativity, anticipating a resolution to ongoing trade talks. Meanwhile, Asia saw marginal declines, reflecting regional sensitivity to U.S. policy shifts.

In a world racing toward an uncertain future, one figure stands as a beacon of audacious innovation, a hero not just for our planet but for the cosmos beyond. Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla, is no mere entrepreneur—he’s a modern-day Prometheus, wielding technology to ignite humanity’s path to the stars. Tesla, his flagship enterprise, is more than a company; it’s a vessel for revolutionizing transportation, energy, and artificial intelligence. As an investor, I’m bullish on Tesla not just for its groundbreaking achievements but for the indomitable spirit of the man steering it. Here’s why Tesla and Musk deserve our unwavering optimism, framed through the lens of a hero’s journey and the boundless potential of a great enterprise. Musk: Earth’s Hero, Defying Gravity Elon Musk is no or
Navigating the Tariff Tempest: Trump’s Trade Gamble and Global Markets As the clock ticks toward the critical tariff deadlines under President Donald Trump’s second administration, the world watches with bated breath. It’s 1:02 PM NZST on Tuesday, July 8, 2025, and with the initial 90-day tariff pause expiring tomorrow, July 9, followed by a potential escalation to higher rates on August 1, the global economy teeters on the edge of uncertainty. Trump’s bold tariff strategy, launched in April 2025 with a 10% baseline and country-specific hikes (e.g., 46% on Vietnam, 34% on China), aims to reshape U.S. trade dynamics. Yet, as negotiations stall and markets fluctuate, this high-stakes gamble raises questions about its efficacy and long-term impact. Let’s unpack this tariff tempest and its imp
Don't be fooled by the post-market actions of Tesla shares. Post market is low volume. What is more important is what will be the response from Donald Trump. I believe Turmp's first cmments were mutated because he was focused on signing off the new tariff letters. Now that this is out of the way, I think he will be focused on putting Elon Musk out of his misery. Trump will go full guns on Elon Musk. He cannot afford to have Musk succeed on his 3rd party. Especially with mid-term primaries coming up for Congress election.
