Rate-Cut Hopes Lift Wall Street
Markets got what they wanted in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech: a clear signal that rate cuts are back on the table.

His comments immediately boosted equities, as traders raised the odds of a September quarter-point cut to 83% (from 75% yesterday). Dow Jones Industrial Average: +1.9% (846 points), closing at a record high $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ : +1.9% $S&P 500(.SPX)$ : +1.5% After weeks of anxiety that easing might be delayed, Powell’s remarks shifted the market

$NIO 20250822 4.0 CALL$ NIO: Collected full premium on these covered calls when then expired in the money and shares were called away. Take loss on the shares. sold NIO at $4 for these 2500 shares. Had them for quite a while and price were mostly muted. Just this week, ahead of earnings on 2nd Sept, NIO price jumped almost 32% to close at $6.32. Since the sold price of $4 were due to covered call expiring on 22nd Aug, decided to not roll this up else risking price retracement and take up double losses. Capital recycled will be use to support other trade and time to move on from NIO.

I’m proud to see Singapore leaders like Tan Su Shan and Forrest Li on Fortune’s list. Tan Su Shan’s 28th place is a big milestone, surpassing global heavyweights and showing Singapore’s influence in banking. With Helen Wong also featured last year, it’s clear our banking leaders are gaining global recognition. Jensen Huang’s rise to #1 is well-deserved given Nvidia’s role in powering the AI boom. Still, my top pick will remain Elon Musk. Despite controversies, he continues to disrupt multiple industries from EVs to space, proving his influence goes beyond just one sector. Musk’s boldness and ambition still set him apart from many of his peers. For me, Musk is the most influential leader because of his vision and execution. Lists like this are also useful for investors, as they highlight t

$VXX CALENDAR 250822/250905 PUT 40.0/PUT 40.0$ VXX: Losing trade management. The expiring short put were in the money on 22nd Aug so decided to roll it further by 2 weeks for the same strike at $40 to buy some time and risk assignment. VXX had been creeping slightly higher mid week only to sell off strongly on Friday with a 8.38% drop and closed at $35.98. The short calls were profitable while some of these short puts setup need trade adjustment to buy some time and avoid assignment. Overall at counter level, it's a losing week based on the latest price movement.

$IQ 20250822 2.5 CALL$ IQ: collected premiums in full for these covered calls when they expired worthless on 22nd Aug. IQ broke out from its long term bear momentum and finally broke above its 200 days MA on 18th Aug. The last time it did, was back in May 2024 which was a good 15 months ago. IQ closed at $2.46 just few cents shy of my strike of $2.5 so they expire worthless. still have another set of covered call also with same strike at $2.5 expiring on 19th Sept.

$RCL 20250822 290.0 PUT$ RCL: collected full premium on this short put when it expired worthless on 22nd Aug. Had wanted RCL to drop more and use these short put to cover my stock short positions. But RCL moved up strongly for the week by a large 9.78% to close at $344.67. 2 of my commited short put were closed out this week and that freed up 200 shares uncommitted. RCL is my largest portfolio drag this week and I look to cut loss if RCL hit $350 which seems likely on Monday.

$NVO 20250822 45.0 PUT$ NVO: collected full premium on this short put when it expired worthless on 22nd Aug. NVO is up 8.72% this week and these short puts were save and collecting premiums as intended. Still a long way to close the gap at $69 but NVO is making good upward progress for the 3rd consecutive week. Probably the temporary bottom is set for this round so my trades were setup on bullish bias.

Cautious Recovery And Rational Consumption Might Boost PDD Earnings More Than BABA
If you have been following the news on Chinese consumers, we have not been seeing a very strong recovery to the previous spending level. So whether the consumer spending might boost $Alibaba(BABA)$ or $PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ earnings, we might want to look at the sentiment and trends. In this article, I would be sharing what I have found on the consumer spending sentiment, key trends, and how consumer sentiment could affect both these two stocks, Alibaba and Pinduoduo. The State of Chinese Consumer Spending Sentiment Chinese consumer spending sentiment in 2025 has been characterized by a "cautious recovery." While there are signs of stabilization and a return to growth, a key theme is that consumers are be

Touch your CPF/SRS for SGX shares plays—yes or no?
Whenever the topic of investing comes up, one recurring question is: Should I use CPF or SRS funds for SGX stocks? For me, the answer has mostly been no when it comes to CPF. CPF vs. SRS: Two Different Stories My SRS account is easy—there’s literally $1 sitting there, so it’s not even a consideration right now. CPF, though, is trickier because technically I can use it for investments. But I choose not to. The reason is simple: CPF is my safe corner. The interest rates are fixed and predictable, which means I can calculate the yearly growth with certainty. That kind of assurance is rare, because almost nothing else in investing works in straight lines. Stocks, on the other hand, are full of uncertainty. One year can bring soaring profits, the next can wipe out years of gains. Recessions, fi
