Navigating the Second Half of 2025: A Cautiously Bullish Outlook Across Asset Classes
As we cross the midpoint of 2025 on this July 21st, the financial markets present a tapestry of resilience amid uncertainty. The first half (H1) was a rollercoaster, marked by sharp corrections driven by tariff tensions and geopolitical jitters, followed by a swift recovery that propelled indices to new heights. Yet, I've crunched the data from myriad sources, and my take is one of cautious optimism: the underlying economic strength, coupled with potential policy shifts like Federal Reserve rate cuts, could fuel further gains. However, risks like persistent inflation, trade wars, and overextended valuations loom large. In this article, I'll recap H1, outline the H2 outlook, dive into specific asset classes with personalised insights, and share strategic positioning ideas. H1 2025 Recap: Fr
This infrastructure buildout is the biggest malinvestment bubble since the dot-com era. Everyone’s piling into AI infrastructure plays, but I think we’re witnessing a classic capital misallocation cycle: CoreWeave’s $6B Pennsylvania bet is peak bubble behavior. They’re building massive GPU clusters based on current AI demand, but AI workloads are fundamentally different from traditional cloud computing. These specialized data centers will become stranded assets the moment AI efficiency improves or demand patterns shift. Remember all those fiber optic cables laid in 1999? The “Trump AI Push” is political theater, not sustainable policy. Government-driven tech initiatives have a terrible track record - Solyndra, anyone? This Pennsylvania project smells like industrial policy designed to crea
The real retirement crisis isn’t the amount you need - it’s that traditional retirement is dead. Everyone’s debating S$550K vs S$1.87M, but I think we’re asking the wrong question entirely: “Retirement” is a 20th century concept that makes no sense in 2025. The idea of working 40 years then stopping completely was designed for industrial workers with 10-year post-retirement lifespans. Now people live 30+ years after “retirement” with rapidly changing skill requirements. The binary work/retirement model is obsolete. Singapore’s wealth inequality makes these averages meaningless. The S$550K figure assumes you’ll be content living like a struggling retiree, while S$1.87M assumes you want to maintain wealthy lifestyle. But the real issue is that Singapore’s cost structure is designed to extrac
Speaking of $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$ I'm a fan too! [Miser] [Cool] I totally still believe in the magic of time, as the old adage goes : "Time in the market is better than timing the market. " I do utilize options to enhance my returns, and it's working out okay so far, but my primary source of returns continues to be stocks.
Consistent returns with option wheeling - Stock Selection
The option wheel strategy I use involves two key steps: - First, I sell cash-secured puts, which generate income through premiums. - If I'm assigned the shares, I then sell covered calls at or above the assigned price—earning more premium and possibly locking in capital gains. There are plenty of resources online that explain how the wheel strategy works, so I won’t go into the basics here. Instead, I’ll focus on how I personally customize the approach to generate consistent income while managing risk. Risk Considerations Like any strategy, this isn’t without risk—especially if the stock takes a sharp dive, leaving you with a large unrealized loss. To reduce that risk, here are the guidelines I follow when picking stocks: 1. Stick to profitable companies with a solid track record of posi
I Used to Hold Without Fear. Now I Sell Too Soon When I Have Unrealized Gains
Over the past decade, we've witnessed remarkable financial stories unfold. Companies like Nvidia have skyrocketed over 30,000%, while early Bitcoin investors have seen returns beyond imagination. These aren’t just numbers; they are examples of what’s possible when conviction meets patience. In trading and investing, there’s a loud crowd that praises high-risk, high-reward strategies, especially options. But sometimes, the most powerful gains come not from complexity or speed, but from simply holding a good stock through time. That sounds easy, but if you’ve been in the market long enough, you know it’s anything but. When Holding Worked Back when I started investing, I used Webull. I didn’t know much. I just kept reading one thing: “Buy and hold through volatility.” So that’s what I did. I
Barbell Sleeve Rotation Of GOOGL WIth MSFT and AMZN Across Macro Regimes
We have $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ fiscal Q2 2025 earnings coming up on 23 July 2025, so while we consider how analysts are viewing the fiscal Q2 2025 earnings of GOOGL, but I think we need to consider how GOOGL earnings might be affected by the macro regimes. So in this article, I would like to share how I have done a barbell sleeve simulation across macro regimes. But first, let us looked at what are the metrics investors would be looking at for Alphabet’s July 23 earnings release. GOOGL Fiscal Q2 2025 Earnings: Key Metrics to Watch Core Financial Metrics EPS Forecast: $2.16–$2.17, up ~14% YoY Revenue Estimate: $93.67B, +10.5% YoY Net Income: ~$24.7B, up from $21.2B YoY Free Cash Flow Margin: ~20.8% (watch for compression due to AI capex) Segment-Level

$Microsoft(MSFT)$ Everyone keeps parroting the idea that AI is going to kill Google Search.Sure -- the era of printing cash off blue-link ads is winding down. That part’s real.But $Alphabet(GOOG)$ isn’t just a search engine. It’s the OS of the digital workday: Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, Drive, Chrome, Android. That’s where people live -- and Gemini is being quietly embedded into every inch of that stack.The shift from clicks to tokens is already underway:• Gemini costs $20–30/user/month in Workspace. Flat-rate for now, but you think usage-based pricing isn’t coming?• Vertex AI? Already monetized per token.• Gemini for Ads?

The small-cap world is full of noise -- pump-and-dumps, zero-revenue shells, Discord-driven hype cycles. Fundamentals get ignored, and what passes for “research” is often just recycled speculation. No institutional-lever research. No framework for finding what actually matters.That’s why I launched this portfolio three years ago -- to chase momentum or spin up a content engine, but to bring real structure to a chaotic corner of the market. I wanted to treat sub-$4B companies with the same rigor you'd expect further up the cap stack. A roadmap for how to find the ones that actually build -- with real product, real IP, and long enough runways to become foundational.This was never about “what’s hot.” It was about “what lasts.” I wasn’t looking for names that could just go up -- I was looking

Might wait to see what price action does heading into earnings week before taking that put-write trade. - Will let the naked calls expire worthless and write naked calls on the Aug 15 expiry after earnings ... although ... writing the 55C seems like a "safe" bet before earnings.The $30 level has proven to be strong support for now.
