I am never optimistic about Tesla beating expectations. I think it remains to be seen if the ‘chip strategy’ pivot will really pay off. Where the cars are concerned, competition is too stiff. The rest are making better, cheaper cars with longer lasting batteries. Among the magnificent seven, I remain the most bullish on Apple. The iPhones remain popular and demand remains hot in its biggest market ie the Chinese market. The Chinese consumers are willing to pay for the phone. Also, I expect it’s venture into better wearables to pay off. I think a 19% EPS growth for the S&P might be a little hard to pull off. This is insanely bullish. This quarter is affected by the war, concerns of inflation as well as a consequently hawkish Fed which has not promised a rate cut. I expect consumers

My positions have always been conviction in value when I buy but following the momentum when it comes to selling. The high can get higher with momentum and I like to sell into strength to take profit. When prices drop, I buy based on conviction in value that the stock will turnaround when the macro conditions are right again and as the fundamentals are sound, there should be no reason for collapse. The biggest risk for this rally is that it is dependent on a singular macro that is the war. Yet, the events surrounding it changes quickly and tend to be over the weekend when the market is closed. As it is, the strait of Hormuz is closed again after the announcement of it being open all across the same weekend. Defensive value stocks yield too little returns and too slowly for my risk appeti

I think abolishing PDT is a true liberation for retail investors. With more resources readily available, many retail investors are already more educated compared to the past. Also, ever since COVID, the market has been more volatile and many would want to be able to capitalise on this volatility with swing trading. Many retail investors have also gathered experience and expertise since Covid with record numbers pouring into the market. So I do think many retail investors will see PDT as a true liberation. Of course, this also comes at increased risk if one doesn’t know what one is doing but this risk is something that can be common across different investors, especially when gripped and crippled by emotions. I think this brings about more trades and thus tighter spreads which is benefici

$Keppel DC Reit(AJBU.SI)$  follow the smart money 

You know the long term saying that when the government gives a drumstick, they will take back the whole chicken. The payouts are definitely not sufficient to ease the pressure. Utilities cost are set to increase next month. Many food sellers have already increased their prices. Even if the government provides rebates and bring forward the cdc vouchers, honestly it would be barely enough to last most households for more than 3 months. That said, it is still better than nothing and many of us are thankful that our government has the resources and willingness to dish out some money to help all of us with the daily expenses. Oil prices will remain high till the strait of Hormuz opens. Nobody knows what will pan out but we are all hopeful for tensions to ease as the war remains unpopular even i

Definitely follow the smart money. Keppel DC reit would do well in the future. AI and tech is here to stay and the demand would be exponential into the future yet land remains scarce in Singapore. Demand for data centres would definitely grow which works well for Keppel dc reit. Capland Ascendas reit has always been a hot favourite among retail investors. Nothing wrong with it. Fundamentals remain strong and it should remain as a strong stock with good capital returns and dividends returns for the near future but i still see Keppel dc reit as a stronger stock and more worthy of my investment as I do foresee it outshining capland Ascendas reit for both growth and dividend returns. I would be looking to add more Keppel dc reit. Alternatively, for many of us, I just buy the ETF! That is so mu

I have never bought SOXL because it as too volatile and greatly dependent on how the war pans out which none of us have any control over. Commodities is something that I would never touch because there is no fundamentals to speak of that can justify any growth. It is largely dependent on the balance between supply and demand, of which usually the control comes at the supply side. Unfortunately, this is something that none of us have control over. Moving forward, I would stick to my convictions. I wouldn’t be leaning into the 3x ETFS or the 1x core holdings specifically unless it is already part of the general diversified ETFs that I buy into. As it is, peace talks just failed so the rebound for SOXL might slip back. Overall, I find it safer to buy into diversified ETFs or beaten down tech

Gold is no longer the safe haven. Inflation is set to remain stuck at higher levels with the destroyed infrastructure in the Middle East that would take years to recover. The hopes of a rate cut is diminishing and this would put a curb on gold prices rising. To me, gold and silver have always been speculative in nature that depends on the supply and demand ratio and have no real growth value of their own. I would prefer to keep away from them. Oil and gas is similar to gold and silver as these are commodities. A lot of the prices depends largely on how the war goes. Since there is no way I can predict that, I do not want to risk being trapped at the currently already high prices in case the war ceases. Based on the current risk ratio, I prefer to wait it out for further price action, and

Whether the S&P500 can safeguard the 6500 support really depends on how the war pans out and the price of oil and gas. No one has any control of this and cannot predict if the war would escalate or de escalate. If the war escalates, fears of recession and inflation and even stagflation would rise and many might just sell and flee to safety. If the war successfully de escalates, I think a rebound will happen. I’m neutral at this point as I would prefer more price action before deciding. Although prices have slipped, it has not reached a compelling buy as it came down from relative highs. The Fed is not in a rush to rescue the market as inflation is expected to rise with the higher oil prices that influence not just energy but also other industries like the fertilisers. I would prefe

$Frencken(E28.SI)$ Singapore stock to get into the AI play

I am most heavily positioned between shops and tech giants in the model layer. I see them as the real catalyst for further use cases and innovation and these are the real income sources. Also, there are adequate investors to ensure that the stocks remain with good bid-ask spread and will be liquid enough for both trading and investing. I don’t think the market underestimates energy. It is just unpredictable and the supply and demand can be easily manipulated by the opec countries. It is not easily understood by most investors and so l prefer to stay out of it. With the unpredictability of the war that makes prices of all stocks volatile and unpredictable, I don think the GTC will be the main reason for price moves. I would prefer to hold off any trades and watch for the effect of the w

Iran’s warning is just a fear strategy towards the commoner. Its military means has been crippled largely and I see that as empty threats. Energy stocks might be the current leader due to rising oil and gas prices. However, it is volatile and highly unpredictable. The war could escalate and prices could go up but it could also end quickly or even stabilise just like how the Russia Ukraine war is still ongoing but energy prices have already stabilised before this new war. I won’t rotate out of tech stocks. I see it like what happened during Covid where the longer run tech would still shine and where the growth story really is. I would prefer to buy the dip. I have not added defensive stocks as growth is limited in the longer term. I prefer to invest for growth for the US market. Defen

I think stablecoins will drift further away from cryptocurrencies as after all these years, cryptocurrencies have yet to broken themselves to be an investable asset beyond speculation, unlike stablecoins. Beyond the use cases, investors want to be able to evaluate and invest in it as an asset class that cryptocurrencies have yet to shown. I won’t chase after circle’s surge as the earnings reflect the last quarter where the hype was still strong. I would prefer to take profit and use the next earnings to re-evaluate the fundamentals of the company to determine if it is worth investing for the longer term. BTC has been unfortunately just a speculative tool after the rise over the past few years with the expectation of supply dwindling. I expect a larger decline as many take profit and move t

I would say b. Market is just relieved that Netflix decided to walk away from a risky deal that might not pay off. However, fundamentally the company remains the same, with the same challenges. It has always been about subscriptions and whether it can generate other streams of revenue such as from advertisements. The real report card is still earnings and expected performance in the coming quarters. Investors want to know this as income is undeniably vital for any company to stay afloat. This has not been addressed and so Netflix is not in a strong position to acquire Warner bro and this talk about acquisition is nothing but a distraction that has spooked fears in investors. Netflix still needs to address the crux of the issue which will shed light on its viability.

I did not buy gold or oil as I think commodities are quite speculative to me. I prefer to invest direct in stocks or ETFs. I think the market sentiment has been one where there has been great fears of a market crash since the upward march 2 years ago. Nonetheless, the market continues to climb last year, leaving many to regret that they gave in to their fears and were out of the market. What happened to Nvidia is not unique to it, I do think it will happen to any of the stocks related to the AI frenzy. However, if we look at the longer term, I think the stock prices will still climb in the next 2-3 years so there is no need to panic. It’s is just market sentiment and profit taking. Overall market valuation is similar to historical values but I have chosen to manage my risk by taking profit
