How I Use Spare Cash to Trade Gold via IAU: profit 180 usd
Selling Puts, Reducing Cost, and Day Trading the Range Introduction – Why I Trade Gold Differently Gold has always played a special role in financial markets. It is not a fast-growing tech stock, nor is it a speculative meme asset. Gold moves with macro forces—interest rates, inflation expectations, currency strength, and geopolitical risk. Because of that, it tends to move in ranges, with bursts of volatility rather than endless trends. That characteristic makes gold an excellent candidate for options-assisted trading, especially when using an ETF like IAU (iShares Gold Trust). In this article, I’ll explain in detail how I: • Sold a cash-secured put on IAU at a $93.50 strike • Collecte
$ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ one of the only stocks I had profit last week. this One definitely worth holding to. Not too late to buy some if you haven't got any!
🌟🌟🌟I invest in $Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ because it represents the kind of wealth I want to build - steady, grounded, resilient and rooted in real life. Not hype. Not noise. Just a business that is built in something far more powerful : daily necessity. Sheng Siong is a company that performs best when things get tough. In a world chasing the next big thing, Sheng Siong reminds me that sometimes the best investments are the ones right in front of us...aisle by aisle, basket by basket. Sheng Siong is the dependable kind of stock, the kind we can count on. Honestly in a market that is full of drama, that reliability feels like luxury. @Tiger_comment
Markets Just Flipped the Script: Dead Cat Bounce or Real Bull Revival? 🚀🔥
The bears got absolutely steamrolled today. 😈 U.S. stocks came roaring back with a vengeance — all three major indices closed up more than 1%, while the Nasdaq surged nearly 2% as Big Tech flexed hard. Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, and the Magnificent Seven crew led the charge, reminding everyone who still runs this market. 📈💪 Risk appetite didn’t just return — it flooded every corner: 🥇 Spot gold blasted +3.2%, pushing fresh highs 🥈 Silver went full rocket mode with +7.4% 🪙 Bitcoin reclaimed $68,000 after dipping under $61,000 earlier this week — a 12%+ swing in days Altcoins and meme tokens joined the party, Solana +9%, Ethereum +8% Commodities, equities, crypto — everything risk-related caught massive bids at the same time. That kind of synchronized move usually screams liquidity is back
Anthropic's Workflow Weapons Unleash SaaSpocalypse: $285B Vanished – End of Software Empires? 😱💥
Anthropic just flipped the script on the software world with its release of 11 game-changing plugins for Claude Cowork on January 30, sparking a brutal selloff that erased $285 billion across software, finance, and asset management stocks in a single session. This isn't your typical model upgrade – these tools dive straight into full workflows like financial modeling, legal research, and sales operations, bypassing APIs to own the application layer outright. Bloomberg's data paints the carnage: Goldman's software basket plunged 6% in its worst drop since April, the financial services index tanked 7%, and Nasdaq dipped 2.4% at its low. Wall Street's dubbing it the “SaaSpocalypse,” as foundation model giants like Anthropic shift from enablers to dominators, threatening markets built on autom
3 Catalysts vs. 3 Red Flags: The Math Behind the STI ETF in 2026 | 🦖 EP1414 #investingiguana
🟩 The "boring" Singapore market just woke up. The SPDR Straits Times Index ETF (ES3) has smashed through the five-dollar barrier, proving the critics wrong who called the STI a "flatline" index for years. But now that we are trading at record highs in February 2026, every serious investor is asking the same dangerous question: Is this the peak before a painful drop, or is the Singapore yield engine just finding its second gear?In today's video, we strip away the noise and look strictly at the math. We’re breaking down the "Bank Fortress" capital driving the eighteen-cent dividend payout and analyzing why the fund is trading at such a premium right now. But we aren't just looking at the good news; I’m also exposing the three critical red flags—including the "NIM Squeeze" and mean reversion
This looks less like a clean risk-on regime shift and more like a classic post-deleveraging reflex rally. Equities. The breadth and magnitude of the rebound suggest forced selling has largely run its course for now. Big Tech leadership points to short covering and systematic re-risking rather than fresh conviction. A true risk-on turn would normally be accompanied by stabilising real yields and follow-through volume over several sessions. Precious metals. Gold and silver rising alongside equities is not a textbook “liquidity flood” signal. Instead, it is consistent with a rebound after margin-driven liquidation. Silver’s outsized move, in particular, reflects how violently it was sold into previously. This behaviour aligns more with volatility normalisation than renewed risk confidence. Cr

This episode has many capitulation characteristics, but it is not yet a high-confidence macro bottom. What argues for a tradable bounce. The scale and speed of liquidations, $1.7B wiped out in a day with hundreds of thousands of forced exits, is typical of late-stage deleveraging. When leverage is flushed this aggressively, short-term selling pressure often exhausts itself. The rebound toward the mid-$60k range fits a mechanical reset narrative rather than renewed speculation. From a tactical perspective, this increases the odds of a counter-trend rally over days to a few weeks. What argues against a durable bottom. This was not an idiosyncratic crypto shock. It coincided with broad risk aversion across equities, rates, and commodities. In macro-driven drawdowns, Bitcoin rarely bottoms bef
$Amazon.com(AMZN)$ A sustained move to $200 would require a material narrative break, not just capex anxiety. On current evidence, that looks unlikely without a broader market drawdown. Why the downside is limited. AWS accelerating to 24% growth, alongside disclosed $10B+ annualised revenue from Trainium and Graviton, reinforces that Amazon is not spending blindly. This is strategic capex aimed at controlling AI unit economics long term. Investors may dislike the near-term free cash flow collapse, but the market has historically tolerated negative FCF when AWS growth reaccelerates. What is pressuring the stock. The issue is timing mismatch. Capex is front-loaded while monetisation lags. A 50% YoY capex guide for 2026, well above consensus, c
AI capex is now non-optional, but monetisation will not be evenly shared. Most bullish post-earnings. Microsoft stands out. It has the clearest monetisation flywheel: Azure usage, Copilot attach rates, and pricing power embedded in existing enterprise spend. Heavy capex, but returns are visible and recurring. Structural winner. NVIDIA remains the toll collector. Even as growth normalises, its ecosystem ensures it captures value regardless of which hyperscaler wins share. Amazon. Strategically sound, tactically messy. Amazon is investing for unit economics control, but monetisation lags capex. Prefer on pullbacks, not strength. Apple at current levels. Apple is a hold, not a bottom-fish. Strong balance sheet and buybacks limit downside, but AI monetisation remains indirect. Bottom line. AI

Mag 7 Capex Recap: Apple Defies Gravity But My Pick Is Google
🌟🌟🌟The recent tech rout can be summed up in one word : Capex. Not AI, not earnings, not hype. The Star Wars of Compute is here - a USD 600 billion arms race where every cloud titan is building Death Stars of silicon, data centers and model training clusters. The market is suddenly asking the only question that matters : Who will actually monetise all this? The Dominoes Fell Fast $Alphabet(GOOG)$ and $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ both delivered monster growth. Both revealed monster capex. Both got punished. Google fell 7% but recovered to - 0.6% by sheer force of fundamentals. Amazon is down 10% as inve
$Strategy(MSTR)$ Disclaimer. I am a MRTC bear. Bear that in mind. Re-posting this article which reinforces my belief. And adding to this that the article was posted before last night's bounce. Bitcoin is now at $70k. But still do note that even after the bounce, Bitcoin is still below MRTC's Bitcoin breakeven price of $76k. Which means the next quarter report will show even larger loss for MRTC. "Strategy MSTR ▲26.11% and its executive chairman, Michael Saylor, are facing their most difficult financial test yet as the company’s Bitcoin-centered business model hits a major wall.

STI 5,000 Ceiling: Weekly Stock Winners and Losers for Week Ending 7 Feb 2026 | 🦖EP1415
🟩 The Straits Times Index is flirting with the critical 5,000-point psychological ceiling, a milestone we haven’t seen in a generation. For investors in the "Retirement Red Zone," this euphoria brings a dangerous temptation to chase gains just as the market hits a potential peak. With bond yields sliding and US tech volatility spilling over into Asia, the big question remains: are we on the verge of a historic breakout, or is the "Smart Money" already quietly heading for the exits while retail investors rush in?In this episode, we strip away the corporate hype to look at the "hard math" behind the week's biggest movers. We break down the massive "Valuation Gap" in Singtel following its KKR deal, analyze why CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) has suddenly become a market darling, and investigat
This looks less like a clean regime shift and more like a classic relief rally layered on fragile foundations. Equities: The breadth and magnitude of the rebound point to forced positioning rather than fresh conviction. CTA de-risking, short covering and options gamma effects likely amplified the move, especially in Big Tech. That explains the speed. It does not yet explain durability. A true risk-on reversal typically follows stabilising macro signals, not precedes them. Precious metals: Gold and silver rallying alongside equities is telling. In a healthy risk-on phase, gold usually lags. Here, gold strength suggests continued demand for protection against policy uncertainty and liquidity stress. Silver’s outsized move looks more like a volatility snapback after capitulation, not a clean
Bitcoin had gone as low as $60K, but we saw it rebound to around $69K to $70K over the weekend, and now it is hovering around $70,000 at time of writing. What does it signal? If the Bitcoin bull run over? or are we going to see a super cycle restart? What are the signs and signals investors should look out for? We have seen how the market react to Strategy earnings release, and it have kind of affected some crypto-related stocks, $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$'s next earnings date is confirmed for Thursday 12 Feb 2026 after market next week, so will we see how investors on Coinbase have been acquiring Bitcoin and if the trend is poised to continue.
