1. What is driving the recent surge in silver? Silver has experienced exceptional price appreciation in 2025, significantly outpacing most traditional asset classes and even other metals. According to recent reporting, silver has risen over 130–150% year-to-date as it recorded new nominal highs above $75 per ounce. This move is fuelled by a confluence of factors: Structural supply deficits. Ongoing deficits with demand exceeding mine supply persist, supported by physical shortages and tight inventories. Estimates suggest multi-year imbalances with industrial demand outpacing supply.  Industrial demand expansion. Silver is increasingly tied to technology sectors, including clean energy, electric vehicles, and data-centre infrastructure where its conductivity is essential.  Safe-ha

A “no-surprises” year is more plausible than it sounds, but not because risks disappear. It is because many shocks are now well telegraphed and largely priced. Most likely core outcome for 2026: U.S. equities grind to new highs, driven by earnings growth rather than multiple expansion. AI capex normalises, productivity gains start to show up in margins, and markets advance in a choppy but upward fashion. This is historically the most common outcome when recessions fail to materialise. Gold above $5,000: Possible, but conditional. It likely requires either a renewed credibility shock to fiat currencies or a sharper geopolitical escalation. Without that, gold may consolidate at high levels rather than explode higher. AI bubble bursting: Unlikely in a classic dot-com sense. Valuations may com

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ If one event truly defines 2025, it is the repricing of scarcity. Not tariffs, not elections, not even AI itself, but the market’s realisation that constraints matter again. Compute, power, skilled labour, trusted supply chains and credible monetary anchors all became binding. That shift quietly reshaped capital allocation across assets. Why this matters: AI was not just a narrative. It forced real capex, exposed physical bottlenecks, and concentrated returns in a narrow set of firms able to execute at scale. Megacaps did not outperform because of hype alone, but because they controlled the scarce inputs others could not replicate quickly. Gold’s historic run told the same story from the opposite angle. When fiscal disciplin

🟩 Is "Cash is King" actually destroying your retirement? If you are sitting on a pile of cash waiting for the market to crash, you are not alone—but you might be walking into a silent trap. With the Straits Times Index and S&P 500 hitting All-Time Highs, it feels safer to wait for a "better price." However, history warns us that waiting for a dip often costs far more in lost opportunity than the crash itself. In this video, we tackle the "All-Time High Phobia" that is paralyzing Singaporean investors and reveal why your "safe" cash position is actually a guaranteed loss against inflation. We are breaking down the math behind the "Lump Sum vs. Dollar Cost Averaging" debate and looking at what the institutional data says about deploying capital in late 2025. I’m sharing my specific "60/4

I have always believed in Chinese tech and have kept my position in Tencent though I have also traded to lock in profits or to average down on my position cost. It was tough keeping to it when the US stocks were soaring for the past few years post covid and especially when rate cuts took place. Moving into 2026, I remain convicted that Chinese tech stocks will continue to shine as the Chinese compete with the US not just to play catch up but to be the next world leader and the Chinese do have it going for them with their hunger to lead and the expertise that they have. With geopolitical tensions, I don’t think the Chinese government will impose restrictions on them as they too need the Chinese tech to shine. Maybe I do regret missing out on the gold rally but this is an asset class I do

The market is simply buying time… AI bubble bursts is simply a matter of time. The best indicator of delusion is in the analysts’ outlook. They have been proven wrong over time and the best part is that in the following year, the same old analysts are making the predictions over again. I mean sooner or later, one or two brave ones would hit the jackpot. The majority are simply follow the crowd, so as not to err too much from the masses… when they say there’s nothing to see there in AI bubble, remember to wear extra protection.

Nothing is easy..Every trade involves capital and psychological risk especially during Trump's liberation week and mid Oct to November sell-9ff. Each trade requires informed judgment and conviction.  I missed precious metals, just manage to catch gold in Q4. AMD breakeven. Still a good year at 67% YTD return, beating SPY and QQQ by large extent.

Silver Explodes 10% in a Day: Is $50 Next or Is This Squeeze a Trap? 🥈🚀 Silver just woke up and chose violence. A 10% surge in a single day for a major commodity isn’t just a "move"—it’s a dislocation. While Gold has been steadily grinding to all-time highs, Silver has been the sleeping giant. Now, with analysts shouting about inventory depletion and a potential run to $80, the FOMO is palpable. But for those of us who have traded the "Devil’s Metal" before, we know: when Silver goes parabolic, it takes no prisoners. Is this the start of the "supercycle" everyone promised, or just another massive trap for retail chasers? 1️⃣ Anatomy of a Short Squeeze Let’s be real—commodities don’t move 10% in a day purely on "supply and demand" fundamentals. This was a liquidity event. The paper market f

2026 January Effect: The "Easy Money" Is Gone — Here’s the New Playbook 🚨 As we count down the final hours of 2025, the chatrooms are buzzing with one question: Will we get the "January Effect" to kickstart 2026, or is a rug-pull loading? The setup for 2026 is fundamentally different from the liquidity-fueled rallies of the past. We are transitioning from a market driven by Fed hope to a market that demands earnings reality. While the consensus from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs is "constructive," the underlying data suggests a much trickier battlefield. If you are planning to deploy cash in Week 1, put down the buy button and read this first. 1️⃣ The Bull Case: The "Handover" to Earnings Growth 📈 The strongest argument for a January rally isn't just momentum—it's the fundamental handov

Are you bullish on Rocket Lab's $90 target?: 50:50 I would say. Target of $90.00 is primarily driven by it securing a $805 million contract from the SDA for 18 missile-tracking satellites which is the largest in its history. Optimistic goal and depends on its delivery capability. As of now Rocket Lab presents a high-growth high-risk opportunity as it has potential but currently unprofitable.  SpaceX vs Rocket Lab: which one are you bullish?: tricky question as Rocket Lab is now listed while SpaceX isn't. Between the two, if rumours are true, an IPO is targeted for 2026 at a potential valuation of $1.5 trillion. So, yeah while the head points to SpaceX the heart points to Rocket Lab.

I wouod think that tge 2026 Outlook for $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$   is one of High Risk, High Reward. My worry stems from tge trailing P/E ratio of 317 which is monstrous! significantly higher than legacy automakers. Much depends on the success of its cybercab robotaxi. Analysts rating is to Hold & their average 12-month price target is $385. However, long run price targets range widely from a low of $19.05 (GLJ Research!!) to a high of $600.00. So, I pray that GLJ is proved wrong but I would prefer to sell & reenter.

What happens when Bitcoin drops? Trouble surfaced after the summer when Bitcoin began falling, eventually dropping below US$90,000 in November, undermining confidence in companies heavily exposed to it. “The market quickly started to ask: ‘Are these companies going to run into trouble? Could they go bankrupt?’” said Mr Eric Benoist, a tech and data expert at Natixis bank. Finance professor Carol Alexander at the University of Sussex told AFP that regulatory uncertainty, cyberattacks and fraud risks are also deepening investor mistrust. An example is software company Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with more than 671,000 coins, or about 3 per cent of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist. Over six months, however, its share price more than halved, and its market value brief

The United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China will be closed on January 1st. Additionally, China will extend its holiday and remain closed on both January 1st and January 2nd. In Hong Kong, the market will have a half-day session on December 31st before closing for the holiday. Crude Oil Inventories and Market Outlook It is anticipated that there will be a drawdown of 2 million barrels in crude oil inventories. This reduction suggests an increase in demand at the production site, which may be interpreted as a positive signal for the market outlook. Upcoming FOMC Meeting Minutes The Federal Open Mark

1. Market Selloff is probably likely to happen - at least a small one 2. Because Tesla is running on hopium right now - it went up because of soft catalysts and needs a hard catalyst (cash flow) to solidify base here and reprice in earnest to 600-$1,000. The earliest this hard catalyst is coming is in April. That means in between, the news will be wearing off , FUD creeping in, and it can only stay here or go up here again if more soft catalysts are coming that are not the same as the previous ones. Safety driver removal, more cities, Cybercab anticipation has all been used up imo. So from here, you need conviction to believe in a Q2 inflection to keep the stock up here or higher - and most people don't have conviction.

Looks like you and I are on the same page as far as mid-term election goes. I have written about it some time back but what you have laid out here as the playbook makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is the last trading week ahead of 2-Jan this Friday. I have been pondering 🤔 what to sell to build cash for flexibility in manoeuvre should it be needed. With expected increasing volatility in the new year, it won't be a "if", rather a "when" for the correction to set in. AI play has been all the rage in 2025, so was quantum computing. I do not think those plays are sustainable and liable for the biggest correction. Having said that, some of them are long term investment plays. I will take my time to take my pick. Precious metals group is also an interesting place to rev
