Now that trump has paused tariffs for 90 days, wanted to do a portfolio update. Unfortunately was not able to navigate the stock selections well since inception, whereby prices were at aths, this meant that when macroeconomic sentiment is changing from a bullish to bearish, dca doesn't work out. Identified that while I would not be able to determine what is going to happen during liberation date, there would probably be loads of volatility. Picked up vix calls to insure my portfolio, and found exit liquidity. Repurchased stocks at lower entry prices and lucked out with the 90day cool off. Unsure if we're still on track for a recessionary period and a change in the global supply chain as markets are just flooding back in with positive news. Hopefully this momentum will continue throughout t
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Do becareful as well guys. While the market seems like it has pivoted. We have to be wary. 🫥 Might be a proper relieve rally. So take profit as deem fit. Nothing wrong with it. I sold another one too… yesterday before the announcement coz judging from technicals + company fundaments + competition + macro + consumers sentiments The trajectory will be limited in the next 12 months. Just like Palantir. In terms of probability the chance of 2x the % compare to others is not that high. #tesla #byd #ev #xiaomi
How Long Could It Last? Short-Term Escalation (Months): Right now, both sides are digging in. The U.S., under President Trump, has framed these tariffs as "reciprocal" to address trade imbalances, while China has vowed to "fight to the end" and won’t "sit idly by." This tit-for-tat pattern suggests the trade war could intensify for at least a few months unless one side blinks. Historically, Trump’s first trade war with China in 2018-2019 took about two years to reach a partial deal (Phase One in January 2020), but this round seems more aggressive with higher stakes. Mid-Term Stalemate (1-2 Years): If neither the U.S. nor China backs down, we might see a prolonged standoff. China’s economy is better prepared than in 2018, having diversified trade with other countries, and the U.S. is pushin
Was today the bottom? Are we finally in the clear?That’s the question hanging in everyone's head right now -- from boardrooms to trading desks to Twitter feeds -- and after a day like this, it’s fair to ask. We just saw a broad, violent rally across indices. It wasn’t narrow. It wasn’t defensive. It looked and felt like the beginning of something.But before we declare “blue skies ahead,” we need to be honest about where we are -- and what’s still missing.Yes, today was progress. Meaningful progress. It was the first day in months where capital didn’t feel like it was just rotating between safety trades or hugging the sidelines. There was conviction. There was structure. There was breath.But bottoms aren’t made in a day. They’re forged over time -- through repeated tests, failed rallies, re

U.S. President Trump finally couldn't sit still regarding the crash of U.S. stocks in recent days. At the beginning of Wednesday's session,He bluntly advised investors to buy U.S. stocks. And those investors who followed his advice did gain well on the day, because just hours after the "buy" call, he suspended some "reciprocal tariffs", triggering a strong market rebound。Trump said during the session that he had authorized a 90-day tariff suspension for countries or regions that did not take retaliatory actions. The news triggered a strong rebound in U.S. stocks.Theoretically, for those investors who entered the market immediately at Trump's urging, they got a handsome return. After Trump announced the suspension of some tariffs, U.S. stocks experienced a historic reversal in afternoon tra

Weekly Insights: Tariff Hard Landing, Fed Refuses to Play Along—Has U.S. Market Pressure Peaked?
Performance of Global Equity Indices(in US Dollar) Last week, global equity markets experienced extreme volatility under the pressure of Trump's tariff policy. In the U.S., the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 indices all fell by nearly 10% in a single week. Japan and Europe were not spared either, each recording declines of over 6%. Due to the Qingming Festival holiday, Greater China markets were closed and thus did not fully reflect the expected drop in the data. Overall, market sentiment is currently in a state of extreme panic. The implementation of Trump’s tariff policy exceeded all expectations in intensity. On top of a 10% base tariff, country-specific surcharges were imposed, with China, Europe, Japan, and Southeast Asia among the hardest hit. In response, China swiftly an
U.S. stocks saw a big rally at the 18-hour limit and produced the third-largest one-day gain since World War II, with $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ rallying 12% in a single day on April 9th. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ rallied 9.52%, recovering ground lost since April 3rd.As the weight of the U.S. technology stocks have also become the biggest beneficiaries of the rebound, except for $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ have outperformed the broader market.And these two manufacturing companies are among the biggest beneficiaries of globalization.Looking at the performance over the past 5 days, $NVIDIA
When the market is in turmoil, it's natural to feel uneasy—but being more panicked than the market itself doesn’t help. So the real question is: how can we calm ourselves and think rationally in such times? In my own analysis, I've found that approaching market events with a structured, data-driven mindset helps reduce fear and restore clarity. I like to break everything down—one figure at a time—and once you see the numbers laid out objectively, the situation often feels much less alarming. Since the big drop on April 2, global markets have taken a hit. Negotiations are still ongoing without any real breakthrough, investor confidence has slipped, and the sell-off continues. The U.S. stock market alone has lost $10 trillion in market cap. I’ve compared different types of companies by secto
Hi, Green Wednesday!Wait… did QQQ really just bounce back 12% after dropping 5.35% and 6.21% back-to-back?I had to double-check—I honestly thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

That’s not a rebound, that’s a rocket launch.You have to give it to Trump—he’s got Wall Street on strings.What happened on Truth Social: 🗣️ “It’s time to buy the dip.”👉 Hours later: Tariffs delayed.Reporter: “Didn’t you just say no delays 2 days ago?”Trump: “You gotta be flexible.”Truth Social = now the most elite platform in the world.Not because of the UX.But because billionaires, Ivy League PhDs, and hedge fund legends are all refreshing it like it’s Bloomberg Terminal 2.0.All to catch Trump’s next post.📈 $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$
The Role of Supply and Demand in Stock Pricing Stock prices are set by one fundamental force: supply and demand. It’s the invisible hand of the market, where buyers and sellers duel to determine what a share is worth at any given moment. This dynamic drives every tick up or down on your trading app, from blue-chip giants like Apple to volatile newcomers like Palantir. Let’s dive into how it works and why it’s the backbone of stock pricing. The Basics of Supply and Demand Demand (Buyers): The number of people wanting to buy a stock and how much they’re willing to pay. High demand pushes prices up. Supply (Sellers): The number of shares available and the price at which owners will sell. High supply pulls prices down. Equilibrium: The price where buy and sell orders match—where the market “cl

Types of Stock Orders (Market, Limit, Stop-Loss) When you buy or sell stocks, you don’t just click “trade” and hope for the best—you use specific stock orders to tell your broker exactly how to execute the transaction. The three most common types are market orders, limit orders, and stop-loss orders. Each has its own purpose, balancing speed, control, and risk management. Let’s break them down. 1. Market Order What It Is: An order to buy or sell a stock immediately at the current market price, whatever that is. How It Works: You say, “Buy 100 shares of PLTR now” or “Sell 50 shares of AAPL now.” The broker grabs the best available price from the bid-ask spread (e.g., buys at the lowest “ask” or sells at the highest “bid”). Speed: Executes almost instantly during market hours (9:30 AM–
