Options Market Statistics: Intel Soars Over 10% on Apple Chip Partnership Buzz $Intel(INTC)$   entered the top actives as a new entrant with a bullish put/call ratio of 0.33 and an IV rank of 31.31%, reflecting strong upside conviction as volume hit 0.88 million contracts against 6.35 million in open interest.

One of the reasons I default to “never” selling stocks is that we never know when a stock will move higher or what will drive the move.I try to find companies that can compound revenue and earnings over a long period of time because that long-term view is our advantage over the market. But that doesn’t mean the ride will be a straight line higher.Take $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ as an example. The stock has been an incredible performer over the past two decades.But to realize those gains, you would have had to ride out drops of over 80% multiple times.How does selling play a role, even when we own phenomenal long-term stocks?Something Has ChangedIf the thesis on a stock I own has changed, it might be time to sell.I did this with previous Asymmetric Investing s

Nov 2025 Performance: A loss of SGD 2000 , representing a 0.4% loss. Dividends: Accumulated SGD 26,000 in dividends year-to-date, with SGD 25,000 already received. Lately, there’s been some talk in the market about an “AI bubble.” I remain neutral on this topic. While I agree that many U.S. stocks—particularly in the tech sector—are expensive, that’s not unusual. U.S. tech stocks have rarely been “cheap,” even in normal times. Many of these large tech companies generate strong, consistent cash flows, which allow them to invest heavily in AI research and development. In fact, they *have* to stay competitive in the AI race—falling behind could mean being left behind by the market altogether. Demand for data centers and cloud infrastructure isn’t speculative—it’s essential. These are the foun

🌟🌟🌟The market is a sea of emotions and lately it has been awash with caution.  For Pop Mart $POP MART(09992)$  $POP MART(09992)$ $POP MART HK SDR 20to1(HPPD.SI)$ this has meant a pullback, a temporary retreat from its soaring heights.  Analysts like $Morgan Stanley(MS)$  have trimmed their sails, lowering price targets in a nod to the prevailing winds of a global consumer sector rotation.  But for those with the courage to look beyond the surface, this is not a sign of weakness.  It is a whisper of a powerful resilient force. While the t

🌟🌟🌟November was supposed to be the victory lap, the reliable month where bulls could count on a strong lift toward the December finish line.  This year November delivered a chill instead.  The November effect, that historically golden period for markets has fizzled out. With the Nasdaq shedding 2% and the broader S&P500 struggling to find its footing, a palpable anxiety has settled over the investing community.  The easy gains seem to be over and a genuine fear of a turn in the tide is real. However this is not a moment to panic but a test of nerve and a confirmation of strategy.  The wisdom of diversification has come to the fore during such times. While the US market saw some weakness in November, my broader portfolio was more resilient.  

November’s Turnaround - A Remarkable Reversal Nov End Just over a week ago, November looked headed for steep losses. The S&P 500 was down 4.4% month-to-date, sentiment was shaky, and markets were questioning everything, from AI to the Fed to the broader economy. But the Thanksgiving rally changed everything. Today’s shortened Black Friday session sealed the turnaround: Index Close Daily Change November Change: Dow Jones 47,716.42 +0.61% +0.3% $S&P 500(.SPX)$ 6,849.09 +0.54% +0.1% Nasdaq 23,365.69 +0.65% –1.5% S&P 500: Best Thanksgiving week since 2008 (+3.7%). 7 straight months of gains. Nasdaq avoided a deeper drop after being down as much as 7% earlier in the month. Hot Stock $Intel(INTC)$ +

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ Traders are ditching the November blues like yesterday's leftovers – the S&P 500's 2.5% monthly meltdown, its nastiest since March's volatility vortex, just handed bulls a golden setup for a December blast. With YTD gains locked at 13.5% through October's close, this November negative twist flips the script: Historical heat shows December's never dipped red in such spots, averaging a juicy 4% surge with max losses a puny 0.7% and drawdowns capped at 1.7%. Citi's wealth wizards are spotting "room to run" amid record $37B+ inflows from elite clients, while Fed's QT halt on Dec 1 unleashes liquidity like con

With $CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.(CRWD)$ is set to report earnings on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 (after market close), the focus is shifting from "recovery" (post-July 2024 outage) to "re-acceleration." The company has largely operationally put the outage behind it, but the legal overhang—specifically the Delta Air Lines lawsuit—remains a headline risk.
