Warren Buffett recently called the current stock market sell-off “nothing “ compared with previous crashes he has navigated. He also noted that markets are now only about 5% to 6% cheaper the recent highs. He has decided to sit tight on Berkshire Hathaway’s $373 billion pile of cash and Treasury bills. In fact, Berkshire Hathaway has just bought another $17 billion in T-bills at auction. He advised that he will only buy “if there is a big decline.” I would like to be as patient as Buffett, waiting for prices low enough to justify long-term investing. With the uncertainties brought by the Iran and apparent inflation, stock market will undoubtedly be beaten going ahead. Thanks @Tiger_comments
Q1 2026 saw the U.S. stock market posted a loss because of the uncertainty driven by the Iran war, the unclear future of software stocks, and inflation. Luckily for Tiger friends and me that are long-term investors, our stocks took a beating but are still standing. We will stay invested looking forward to April. History has proven the stock market always recovered with higher returns. The Big Tech stocks are beginning to recover meteorically. Multiple short-term positive factors such as the ease in Iran war is giving the market a breather. Now is not yet the time to blindly go all in. I believe in strictly control positions, anchor to fundamentals, and respond flexibly according to different scenarios. The fun bit: We might see the world’s first trillionaire soon in 2026. Thanks
[OMG] The “World Bear Day” today turns out to be really scary. While the world of bears is in peril, the global stock markets are also in ‘beary’ scary mode. Traders are all feeling bearish today. My holding of tech stocks and Reits are beaten hard. Most investors would hold on to their portfolio now and hope the Middle East crisis could be eased in a short term. Still holding on to $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$ $United States Oil Fund LP(USO)$ as history proves these two always significantly outperform many other asset classes. Be brave when everyone else is fearful of the bear. Keep some cash to buy the dip. Let’s take on the bear!🐻 Thanks @TigerEvents @TigerStars
Nasdaq is in technical correction and the Big tech firms’s share prices have dropped more than 10%. With the Middle East conflict getting worse, rising energy and food costs reignite inflation concerns. The stock market may face more pain in the coming week. The “buy the dip” sentiment has now given way to “sell the rally”, which seems to be the more effective strategy at the moment. From the fundamental perspective, investors will flock back to the stock market once U.S. and Iran can effectively ink a peace deal. From the technical perspective, the Previous rally highs are the key support levels. 6300 and 6100 are the supports for $S&P 500(.SPX)$. We should stay confident over the long term and re-enter to buy the dip for fundamentally strong
Gold is historically proven as an effective hedge against inflation and geopolitical shocks. Investors never fail to attract investors with its global liquidity and its independence from any single government and currency. It is used to diversify investment portfolio. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG
It is good to take note of $ARK Innovation ETF(ARKK)$ ARK Invest has just significantly reduced their investments in the Big Tech firms and others to accumulate cash. This is a sound move amid uncertainties from the geopolitical risk. ARK is repositioning itself for more investments in disruptive innovations. Thanks @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @Tiger_comments
Risk vs. Reward is the reason we create a portfolio of personal investments. It is a collection of stocks, funds, bonds, assets and cash. Our money in CPF is as good as cash free of risk, but with only 2.5% annual interest earned. To combat rising inflation and prevent from losing value over time, money needs to be invested in alternatives for higher returns. One such alternative is stocks. $DBS(D05.SI)$ is the best here with solid balance sheets, resilient business model and disciplined capital management. $CapLand Ascendas REIT(A17U.SI)$$Mapletree Log Tr(M44U.SI)$ and $Frasers Cpt Tr(J69U.SI)$ are reits with
No Stop-Loss is the situation many Tigers are in now. Singapore stocks tumbled as the Middle East conflict drove oil prices higher, causing a sharp sell-off across all stocks. Strategic Inactivity, staying flat might be a good position to take now. Strictly follow the rule of No Signal = No Order. The Iran war is unlikely to have prolonged impact on Singapore stock market and there could be opportunities to buy stocks with good fundamentals that are trading at discounts. I am bullish with $DBS(D05.SI)$$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$$SIA(C6L.SI)$ Thanks @Tiger_SG
Donald Trump has just announced to pause any attack on Iran for a further 10 days. This could be a pivotal moment from r chance to buy the dip. Thanks @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
