      Can Tesla Earnings Repeat Last April’s Beat or Fall Below $200?

      Tesla is heading into a critical week. The company is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings on April 22, and the market is watching closely. With the stock already down 40% year-to-date, expectations are muted. Analysts are projecting declines in both revenue and earnings per share (EPS), citing weakening demand for electric vehicles (EVs), growing competitive pressure, and production hurdles. The stakes are high—and the uncertainty even higher. Looking back, Tesla delivered a pleasant surprise during last April’s earnings week, with the stock surging 14%. But a repeat performance feels far from guaranteed. The macro environment has changed. So has sentiment around EVs. What was once a high-growth darling now faces a more complex narrative: one of maturing markets and rising competition. Pers

      Where to Go for Easter? What’s Your Travel Style?

      Easter is often seen as a time of renewal and reflection, and this year, it conveniently comes with a little bonus: a long weekend. With April 18 falling on Good Friday—a public holiday—many of us are looking at a three-day break that stretches through Saturday and Sunday. It’s just enough time to feel like a real pause from daily life. For some, it’s a chance to get away. For others, it’s a rare opportunity to simply stay put. As for me, I’m not planning to go anywhere. No packed bags, no airport lines, no early-morning itineraries. I’ll be at home, doing the things that bring me peace—reading, catching up on shows, maybe cooking something slow and comforting. It’s the kind of break I’ve come to appreciate more and more: a weekend with no expectations, no social obligations, and no agenda

      $1,000 Too Expensive? How Much Does Price Affect Your Decision to Invest?

      From a pure investment logic perspective, a $1,000 stock and ten $100 stocks offer the same return percentage if you invest the same total amount of money. Whether you buy five shares of a $200 stock or 142 shares of a $7 stock, your potential profit or loss is ultimately tied to the percentage change in stock price, not the price per share. But in practice, things aren’t so straightforward. The price tag on a stock—even if it’s just a number—carries real psychological weight for many investors, myself included. So how much does the price of a stock actually influence our decision-making? Price Per Share Personally, I do take stock price into account when deciding whether or not to invest. There’s a sweet spot I feel more comfortable with—typically between $5 and $15 per share. Stocks pric

      SGD Hits Historic Highs: Does a Strong Singapore Dollar Affect Our Daily Lives?

      Amid ongoing global economic uncertainty, the Singapore dollar (SGD) has shown remarkable resilience. Just last week, the SGD surged to 5.5634 against the Chinese Yuan (RMB)—its strongest level since 1997—and also touched a five-month high against the U.S. dollar. While such headlines often grab attention, many Singaporeans might ask: Does this actually impact me in daily life? In theory, a stronger SGD has plenty of upsides. For one, it increases purchasing power when converting to foreign currencies. That means buying overseas stocks, investing in foreign ETFs, or even traveling abroad becomes more cost-effective. If I wanted to invest in the U.S. stock market, for example, converting SGD to USD at a favorable rate means I can potentially get more shares for the same amount of money. Lik

      Stop Watching or Sleeping? When to Rest Under Trump's Impact?

      Some Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) have recently joked that they wish President Trump would stop posting on weekends—not because they disagree with his views, but because some of his posts have become market-moving events that force them to work overtime. Hedge funds echo the same sentiment: under this administration, markets need to be watched minute by minute. A single tweet, comment, or offhand remark can trigger sharp movements across sectors—just like how his past announcements on tariffs would instantly shake the markets. The level of volatility that stems from President Trump’s communication style has created a new normal in trading — one where resting feels like a risk. For institutional investors, this means deploying resources to monitor headlines 24/7. But for retail investors like

      MAG 7 – Great, But Is It Too Late?

      The Magnificent 7 — Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla — have become the darlings of the stock market. It's no surprise that investors keep their eyes on them. These are massive tech powerhouses with strong financials, global reach, and constant buzz around AI, cloud computing, and other hot trends. They dominate headlines and, in many ways, they are the market. But for me? I'm not particularly drawn to them. Sure, they’re great companies. Solid balance sheets, strong moats, and dominant positions in their respective industries — no denying that. But when I look at these giants, I can’t help but feel like I missed the boat. The explosive growth phase is behind them, and their valuations often reflect years of anticipated success already priced in. Instead, I’m more

      I opened $Pfizer(PFE)$  ,The high dividend yield makes PFE quite appealing to me. It's rare to find a quality company that offers both an attractive valuation and a strong yield, and I believe PFE fits that profile.
