A $1,000 Stock Too Expensive? How Much Does Price Affect Your Decision?
From an investment logic perspective, a single $1,000 stock and ten $100 stocks yield the same return percentage if you invest the same amount of money. But in practice, high-priced stocks do have a psychological impact on everyday investors.Now that $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ at $10, $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ at $100, and $Netflix(NFLX)$ at $1,000 — which one would you choose?Generally, retail investors tend to avoid high-priced stocks like Netflix. But in reality, Netflix has been incredibly stable in recent years, consistently beating earnings expectations quarter after quarter. Even in this year’s overall market downturn, Netflix still holds a
TOPShyon: While I know a stock’s price doesn’t reflect its true value, high-priced stocks like Netflix can still feel intimidating. It’s psychological—seeing a $1,000 stock triggers thoughts like “What if it drops?” even though percentage moves are what matter. Ultimately, we’re buying future market cap growth, not just the number of shares. If I had $5,000 to split among SOXL, Nvidia, and Netflix, I’d lean most into SOXL $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ due to my DCA strategy and belief in semiconductors. Nvidia would come next—strong fundamentals and long-term upside. Netflix, while consistent, would get a smaller slice—not because of price, but because I see more near-term potential elsewhere. In the end, I focus on business fundamentals over share price. A $1,000 stock isn’t expensive if it delivers performance and future growth. The real challenge is shifting our mindset beyond surface-level numbers. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG

Can Trump Fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell?
Trump believes he can, because the legal provisions are vague. There is no legal precedent regarding whether a president has the authority to dismiss a Fed chair before the end of their term.Powell made it clear six years ago that if his position were challenged, he would take legal action — a stance he has reiterated in recent public statements. This is why Trump is reportedly seeking the opinion of Supreme Court justices.However, the Supreme Court is almost certain to reject such a request. The reason is simple: the Federal Reserve must maintain independence from the federal government and the U.S. Treasury.Treasury Secretary Bessent understands this well. He believes the move is extremely risky and offers little to no benefit. This week, he stated that the Fed's independence in monetary

245% Tariffs & Delisting Fears: Are Chinese ADRs Doomed, or Is Hong Kong the New Goldmine?
$JD.com( $JD.com(JD)$ )$ $Pinduoduo( $PDD Holdings Inc(PDD)$ )$ $Hang Seng Index(. $HSI(HSI)$ )$ $Tencent Holdings( $TENCENT(00700)$ )$ The trade war just got uglier.

Disclaimer: Whatever I say or post doesn't act as financial advice, so please do your due diligence before making any decision. I think moving forward, the impact of earnings annoucement on price movement of stocks will be muted, thanks to Trump narcissit approach of forcing the world to comply and bow down to him. I understand that there is a greater agenda behind his actions, with reforming the whole US government agency, cutting out unnecessary spending and re channeling the funds to other sectors. Additionally, the intentional action of Trump for markets to tank might force Fed to cut rates, which is what he wants. However, this has since developed into a threatening war between two major Juggernauts, with all other countries bearing the consequences of their actions. Even if the

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ Share price performance is really very poor despite the good results announced. Don't know what's going on with this TSM indeed. Sentiment seems to be very lousy. Could be due to this Trump's tariff issue which is still uncertain in a way. Investors confidence and US market might be largely affected in the long run if Trump still goes on with his tariff implemention. Sad indeed. Recallee TSM was doing fine prior to Trump era.
TOPEverything is going down no matter the earnings and TSM is holding steady. Such a great buying opportunity. You’ll never see it here again. TSM has NO COMPETITORS.

A TON OF THINGS HAPPENED IN THE STOCK MARKET TODAY
Here's a full recap: 1. $1.5T of value was wiped out of the stock market today. The S&P 500 $SPY was down 2.2%, Nasdaq $QQQ down 3%, and Dow Jones $DIA down 1.72%. The downturn came due to yesterday's late night news on $NVDA Nvidia chips banned from being sold in China and Fed Chair Powell's comments on inflation expectations continuing to be sticky with tariffs increasing inflation but decreasing growth. The stock market will be closed for Good Friday so tomorrow will end out the week. 2. Dr. Alex Karp, CEO of $PLTR Palantir, was named to TIME’s 100 Most Influential People of 2025. TIME wrote: "As Palantir, the data-analytics giant that works closely with U.S. armed forces and intelligence agencies, has grown in value on the stock market, its chief executive, Alex Karp, has become th

With 145% tariffs on Chinese products coming into the US, big brands aren't going to swallow the tariffs cost & hurts their bottom line. They're cutting decades long Chinese manufacturing partners out leaving these partners facing no buyers for their top quality products. Instead, they went on TikTok to spill the beans on big brands supply chain secrets & profitability spurring this latest trend of buying directly from manufacturers. Taobao is currently Top 3 downloaded app on both iOS & Android phones in the US. Best wishes. Cheers 🥂
TOPAlibaba is that heavyweight champ who took a few hits, went quiet, and now? He's lacing up the gloves again. Don’t forget this is the backbone of China’s e-commerce world. It’s not just Taobao and Tmall—it's cloud, logistics, global expansion, and more.
