Dumpling or Dumping - Top Glove $Top Glove(BVA.SI)$ journey from Covid Darling to Disaster. At the height of pandemic, Top Glove was the perfect dumpling, a meticulously crafted symbol of hope. In a time of unprecedented need, its products were as essential as each ingredient in a lovingly prepared dumpling. Every glove was a promise of safety. Yet behind that gleaming facade, a disastrous trade was set in motion. To meet soaring global demand, TopGlove opted for a cut price recipe that sacrificed its core values.

Semiconductors See Large Bearish Orders, Returning to Pre-Negotiation Levels Overnight
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The post-earnings pullback didn’t wait a single day—it started immediately. The target for this pullback is $120, which corresponds to the May 9th negotiation gap. However, it’s uncertain whether the pullback to $120 or $130 will occur during the week of June 6th.Overall, it seems reasonable to expect a return to pre-negotiation levels. After all, Trump’s sudden reversal today, accusing China of breaching the agreement, essentially nullifies the progress of the past two weeks.Some notable large orders:"200 Million Guy" rolls his position:Closed the June 20th $120 call and rolled into the September 19th $130 call:Sell to close $NVDA 20250620 120.0 CALL$ , buy
It is impossible to predict the market and trump’s flip flop plans make it even harder to even see some form of trend. Just yesterday, we get news that the federal court ruled that he overstepped his powers with his tariffs and today it got overturned by the appeals court. I would think that June would be a month of his tariffs plans, how the other countries managed to appease him with countermeasures like buying more US products, whether the wars can successfully cease. My main holdings are in HK stocks and this week has been a bad week. I have already taken profit on some like mixue and maogeping. Moving forward, I think it is important to stick to the game plan. That is to only buy stocks of quality company, average down if I need to and if I still have cash[Facepalm], and take prof

I bought SG stocks since the 1990s but never bothered to follow the activities of the stock and just leave it there. Now (35 yrs later) and retired have become interested in buying stocks and learning as much as possible when to buy, when not to buy, how much to buy and when to sell these stocks. Not only that, learning to pick up skills in reading company reports and identify good companies from the bad ones. Have lost some money in the forex market and will never go back into that again!

Chiang Mai offers a stark contrast to Singapore’s high living costs. Rent, food, and utilities are far more affordable, allowing expats like Mr. Chen to live a more comfortable life on their savings.

Amgen: Margin Alchemy, Pipeline Agility, and the Quiet Power Move
$Amgen(AMGN)$ doesn’t scream for attention—and that’s exactly why I’m paying close attention. While much of biotech is navigating a volatile funding landscape or spinning hype around obesity pipelines, Amgen has been methodically rewriting its playbook. The share price has nudged up 8.6% year-to-date, quietly outpacing the S&P 500’s modest 0.1% gain. Yet with a forward P/E of just 13.35 and a PEG ratio under 1, this $150 billion stalwart looks like a biotech quietly brewing a second act. Margin alchemy: Where molecular geometry meets biotech balance sheet mastery Margin Alchemy Behind the Curtain What caught my eye first is Amgen’s margin expansion trick—subtle, but meaningful. The company posted a non-GAAP operating margin of nearly 46% in Q1

Tesla Faces Sharp Sales Decline in Europe Amid Rising EV Competition: What Investors Should Know
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla stockholders were hit with sobering news this week: the company’s sales in Europe plunged by nearly 49% in April, year-over-year. While the broader electric vehicle (EV) market in Europe is expanding rapidly—with BEV sales rising nearly 28%—Tesla is losing market share at an accelerating pace.

Jensen Sells Stock Again: Will Nvidia Repeat August Trend?
$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ Nvidia has been riding high, delivering jaw-dropping numbers that keep Wall Street buzzing. Their latest first-quarter earnings revealed a staggering $44.1 billion in revenue—a 69% leap from last year. Analysts had pegged expectations at $43.29 billion, and even Nvidia’s own guidance of $42.14 billion to $43.86 billion was outdone. Compare that to the previous quarter’s 78% year-over-year surge, and it’s clear: Nvidia’s growth engine is roaring. But just as investors were basking in the glow, a new twist emerged—CEO Jensen Huang is set to offload up to 6 million shares, according to a 10-Q filing submitted Wednesday. Cue the whispers: is this a storm cloud looming over Nvidia’s sunny horizon? Could it signal a repeat of an ominous A
