🌟🌟🌟A good options strategy if you want to own $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ shares but feel the current price is a bit too high is a cash secured put. How it works : You sell a put option at a price you would be happy to buy the stock at say $350. Why It is good for TSM now:  You get paid a premium today . If TSM stays high , you keep the cash as pure profit. If TSM drops, you are forced to buy the shares but at a discounted price compared to today which is currently trading at USD 374.09. The risk is you must have the cash ready to buy 100 shares of TSM.  If the stock drops, you maybe buying a falling knife. @Tiger_comments

🌟🌟🌟Shopify $Shopify(SHOP)$ is one of the rare SaaS winners because it sits at the intersection of discipline , infrastructure and real economic activity. Shopify is one of the largest commerce platforms in the world.  It powers millions of businesses across 175 countries and is the default choice for entrepreneurs, Direct to Consumers brands and fast growing online stores. While Amazon is the biggest market place, Shopify is the biggest merchant owned commerce platform.

The result : Profit beats , expanding operating leverage and a business that scales well. Shopify isn'

🌟🌟🌟Some days the market feels like it is being narrated by Clawdbot - that overly cheerful AI assistant who tells you your favourite SaaS stock is down 25% and then brightly asks if you would like a mindfulness exercise to "process your emotions". Welcome to 2026 where AI is reshaping how we work, how we invest and occasionally how we emotionally stabilise ourselves.  So What Exactly is Clawdbot? Clawdbot began as an open source personal AI assistant, created by a small group of independent developers who believed AI should be transparent, accessible and community driven.  Because it is open source, developers worldwide began contributing at lightning speed and Clawdbot evolved from a simple chatbot into a full conversational operating layer.  Today Clawdbot can: Fetch files

🌟🌟🌟SGX $SGX(S68.SI)$  is the kind of stock the market loves to underestimate... right until it doesn't.  When the latest results dropped, the share price pulled back.  It is the classic "sell first, think later" behaviour.  Nothing was wrong with the business.  Nothing broke.  But in a market obsessed with shiny narratives, SGX's steady cash flow model doesn't always get instant applause. And then something shifted.  While the market  was busy chasing momentum trades, investors suddenly remembered what SGX actually is:  a monopoly like exchange, record revenues, disciplined cost control and a dividend stream that doesn't flinch even when global markets wobble.

🌟🌟🌟Investing in $PropNex(OYY.SI)$  isn't just about buying a stock.  It is about owning a piece of the engine that drives Singapore's most resilient asset class: REAL ESTATE.  In a city where land is the ultimate scarcity, PropNex has positioned itself not just as  participant, but as the dominant gatekeeper of the Singapore real estate market. The Power of Scarcity  In Singapore, land is not just a resource.  It is a finite precious commodity.  This fundamental scarcity ensures that while the market may fluctuate,  the  long term trajectory of property remains a safe haven for wealth preservation.  PropNex capitalises in this by being the proxy for the entire

🌟🌟🌟The financial world is no longer just shifting. It is being completely reborn.  We are standing at the edge of a Digital Renaissance, where the old guards of centralised banking are meeting the unstoppable force of the Blockchain.  For those who feel the adrenaline of the crypto market but seek a sophisticated, diversified way to capture its power, $iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF(IBLC)$ isn't just a fund.   IBLC is a front row seat to the future of money. While some traders are chasing individual memecoins into the abyss, the visionary investor looks at the infrastructure.  IBLC does not just buy the coins

🌟🌟🌟Gold has reclaimed USD 5,000/oz after that sharp breath catching pullback. It feels like watching a king stride back onto the throne - steady, unshaken and reminding the market that dominance doesn't vanish in a week.  JPMorgan's view reinforces the confidence that this volatility is a healthy consolidation within a long term uptrend, not a trend reversal. But while Gold is anchoring the fortress, something else is stirring in the industrial trenches. JPMorgan expects copper to rebound earlier than Gold in Q2, driven by stabilising demand and tightening inventories.  Copper is always the early mover.  It is the metal that wakes up before the rest of the economy does.  So the real question becomes : Is this the moment to rotate from Gold into copper led cycl

🌟🌟🌟Silver surged back to over USD 83/oz as of February 10, recovering from a brutal 35% flash crash in late January.  This latest jump is primarily driven by a weaker US Dollar, which fell to 4 year lows, making silver cheaper for international buyers. Key Reasons for Silver Recent Rebound  Dollar Weakness and Fed Uncertainty :  Markets are pricing in potential interest rate cuts for later in 2026.  Growing concerns of the Fed's independence and the recent nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Fed Chair have created volatility, leading investors to seek hard assets like Gold and Silver. Central Banks' Gold Buying Spree:   Central banks around the world especially China, have continued their gold buying spree.  This has created a spillover effect that driv

🌟🌟🌟DBS $DBS(D05.SI)$  has just reported a 4th quarter 2025 net profit of SGD 2.36 billion, a 10% year on year decline that missed analyst estimates of SGD 2.57 billion.  While the headline miss on 9 February 2026 initially cooled market sentiment, sending shares down almost 2% in early trading to SGD 58.41, the result masked a record full year 2025 income of SGD 22.9 billion and a powerful 14% surge in wealth management fees. The Warren Buffett Lens: Value Over Volatility In the face of today's market jitters, it is vital to remember Warren Buffett's timeless wisdom : "Do not take yearly results too seriously, instead focus on 4 or 5 year averages." Warren Buffett has long argued that a single earnin

🌟🌟🌟SGX and Keppel don't operate in the same universe.   $SGX(S68.SI)$  is the quiet heartbeat of our markets. $Keppel(BN4.SI)$  is reinventing itself for the AI infrastructure age.  But this earnings season, both reminded me why they are pillars of Singapore Inc.  As a Singaporean, I can't help feeling proud of how far our homegrown giants have come. SGX:  Record Results, A Pullback and Quiet Potential SGX delivered record revenue, stronger derivatives volumes and steady profit growth.  It is the kind of earnings that reflect resilience, discipline and a business model built on real recurring demand. 

🌟🌟🌟I invest in $Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ because it represents the kind of wealth I want to build - steady, grounded, resilient and rooted in real life.  Not hype.  Not noise.  Just a business that is built in something far more powerful : daily necessity.  Sheng Siong is a company that performs best when things get tough.   In a world chasing the next big thing, Sheng Siong reminds me that sometimes the best investments are the ones right in front of us...aisle by aisle, basket by basket. Sheng Siong is the dependable kind of stock, the kind we can count on.  Honestly in a market that is  full of drama, that reliability feels like luxury. @Tiger_comment

🌟🌟🌟The market didn't just rebound on Friday, it snapped back like a rubber band that had been stretched too far.  One minute we were watching fear ripple through every asset class, the next minute everything decided to rally together like they had rehearsed it. Stocks climbed, Big Tech charged ahead and risk appetite returned from its short vacation. Meanwhile Spot Gold jumped 3%, Silver surged 7% and Bitcoin snapped back above USD 70,000. It is the kind of synchronised rebound that makes everyone wonder : Is this a genuine risk reversal or just a violent relief bounce before the next plot twist? No one knows for sure - not the strategists, not the quants  but the signals are interesting : Precious metals ripping suggests that liquidity is still flowing.  Crypto's sharp reco

Big 5 of Mag 7: Which one offers best value? $Alphabet(GOOG)$ : The Under appreciated Workhorse: It is the best value now.While the market panic over their 2026 capex, it has just posted a record USD 400 billion revenue year.  Trading at a lower PEG ratio than its peers, it is the AI power player hiding in plain sight. Apple : The Defensive King.  It defied the trend by being the only giant whose capex actually declined. While others build data centers, Apple is counting record iPhone cash. It is a safe haven though you pay a premium P/E of 34 for peace of mind. Meta : The Efficiency Machine: Revenue is soaring 24% YoY but the market is getting nervous about the scale of its  infrastruct
