The Buffett Trade Returns: Investors Flee AI, but Is Defensive Investing Getting Too Expensive?
When technology stocks sell off, investors often look for businesses with dependable earnings, strong balance sheets and reliable cash flow. Recent market movements suggest that rotation is happening again. During the latest tech pullback, Procter & Gamble ($PG) gained 5.58%, Coca-Cola ($KO) rose 2.87%, Eli Lilly ($LLY) climbed 2.83%, Walmart ($WMT) advanced 2.82%, Costco ($COST) added 1.99%, and Berkshire Hathaway ($BRK.B) gained 1.32%, according to the supplied market figures. The appeal is straightforward: when uncertainty rises around AI valuations and future earnings, businesses selling everyday products and essential services can look more attractive. But there is another side to this trade. Defensive stocks can become expensive when too many investors rush to safety at the same
$Hasbro(HAS)$ 🐶💰 My Hasbro Trade: Small Wins Add Up! 🎯 I made a US$53.14 profit on Hasbro ($HAS), and for me, this is another reminder that investing is not always about making thousands of dollars in one trade. Sometimes, small and consistent wins matter just as much. 🎯 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? I am interested in opportunities where I can manage my entry price and risk carefully. Hasbro is a well-known toy and entertainment company, but I still need to consider its earnings, consumer demand, valuation and business outlook before making bigger commitments. A profitable trade does not automatically mean the stock is cheap. 📈 2️⃣ What’s my plan from here? I will continue watching the price action and reassessing whether the opportuni

🐶📈 Beginner’s options puppy Guide to Market Catalysts — Part 3
🚀 How Positive AI News Can Push the Nasdaq Higher My Options Puppy View: Follow the Money, Earnings and Interest Rates 🤖 1️⃣ What Is Happening in the AI Market? As Options Puppy, I pay attention to market catalysts because stock prices do not move on company performance alone. They also move when investors change their expectations about future earnings, growth and profitability. Anthropic’s reported S-1 figures are an interesting example. According to the market update I am reviewing, the company reported US$16.3 billion in first-half revenue and turned free cash flow positive after stock-based compensation. Its top-five customer concentration also fell to 21%. To me, these figures help explain why investors are increasingly interested in the business side of artificial intelligence. AI i
$PLTR 20250718 95.0 PUT$ 🐶💰 How I Earn Premium by Selling Cash-Secured Puts on PLTR! 📈 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? I am selling the $PLTR 2025-07-18 $95 PUT because I want to earn option premiums while waiting for an opportunity to buy shares at a price I am comfortable with. 💵 When I sell a cash-secured put, I receive the premium upfront. In exchange, I agree to buy 100 shares of Palantir at $95 per share if I am assigned. This means I must have enough cash available to cover the potential purchase of $9,500. 🎯 My strategy is simple: instead of buying shares immediately at the market price, I let the market pay me for being willing to buy at my chosen strike price. If the stock stays above $95 until expiration, t
$OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ 🏦💰 Why I Continue Holding OCBC Bank — Let My Money Earn Interest! 🇸🇬 🐶💵 As an investor in Singapore, I like OCBC because banks earn money by accepting deposits and lending to individuals and businesses. The difference between the interest they earn on loans and the interest they pay on deposits is a key source of income. 📈 1️⃣ Why am I making this investment now? I see Singapore banks such as OCBC, DBS and UOB as potential long-term investments because they have established businesses, generate income from multiple sources and may reward shareholders through dividends. 💰 When interest rates are favourable, banks may earn wider net interest margins. However, when rates fall, lending margins can narrow. Banks also
$Keppel(BN4.SI)$ 🐶💰 Keppel Limited (BN4.SI): My Winning Trade and Investment Journey 🏢 Why am I looking at Keppel now? Keppel is an interesting Singapore-listed company because it has been transforming its business beyond its traditional roots in offshore and marine activities. Today, its businesses include infrastructure, real estate management and connectivity, including data centres. These sectors may benefit from long-term trends such as digitalisation, artificial intelligence, rising electricity demand and infrastructure investment. 📈 Why am I making this trade now? My screenshot shows an unrealised profit-and-loss ratio of +19.09% on this position. For me, seeing a position move into profitable territory is encouraging, but I must re

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Looks like supply zone getting absorbed. Short term, no idea. Long term, hold. If it breaks and stays above 200, on the balance of probability, pltr should challenge her ATH. Then comes the next ER. Usual patten for PLTR, drop before, pop after. Please stop making 20 trades on every swing. Just hold.

$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ Looking at the two recent corrections in late July and mid-September, both featured a 20 vs 10-MA death cross, with price action trapped within a descending channel. The message is pretty similar for the week; stay away from breakouts until the market decisively breaks out of its current channel/wedge which will coincide with the reclaims of both the 10-MA and 20-MA. This is not a market to force trades. But don't abandon the process. Continue diligently building your watchlist around relative strength in individual industry groups and leading names. No need to trade the market you have, but prepare for the market you want.
