Public Holidays Singapore is closed on Monday, 12 May 2025 as we celebrate Vesak’s Day. There are no public holidays in America, China and Hong Kong. Economic Calendar (12May25) Notable Highlights (some are taken from Grok) Core CPI (MoM) is expected at 0.3% (up from 0.1%), and CPI (YoY) at 2.4%. These inflation figures are critical. If actual numbers exceed forecasts, it may signal rising inflationary pressures, potentially prompting a tighter Federal Reserve stance. CPI (MoM) at 0.3% (previously -0.1%) reinforces this trend. Core Retail Sales (MoM) at 0.3% (down from 0.5%) and Retail Sales (MoM) at 0.1% (down from 1.5%) suggest a slowdown in consumer spending, which could signal weaker economic growth. The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index at -26.4 points to continued contraction in m

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ 💥🕰️🔥 Tariffs, TIGR and Timezones: Blink and You Might Miss the Breakout 🔥🕰️💥 As an investor with my finger on the pulse of the markets and across a few trading platforms, I’ve been intensely focused on UP Fintech Holding Limited, or $TIGR, a Chinese online brokerage powerhouse listed on the NASDAQ and one that you are all familar with. This firm provides a sophisticated platform for trading stocks, with global ambitions. While its service-driven model might sidestep the direct sting of tariffs, unlike manufacturers shipping goods across borders, the indirect fallout from the U.S., China trade war, amplified under Trump’s tariff regime, is impossible to ignore. With recent escalations pushing tariffs on Chinese imports to 145%

Here's a wild thought: What if I told you your investment portfolio has more in common with Candy Crush than actual wealth? 🤔 Like many of you, I've caught myself checking my portfolio multiple times daily, celebrating green numbers, and agonizing over red ones. Sound familiar? We've turned wealth building into a never-ending video game where the score keeps climbing, but we never actually hit cash out. Let's get real about what being a retail investor truly means. Beyond the money we put in, we're investing a massive amount of our lives into this pursuit. The hundreds of hours spent learning. The daily consumption of financial news. The endless emotional energy processing market moves. The family time sacrificed for research and analysis. We've essentially taken on an unpaid part-tim

Honestly, in this market climate, it feels like taking your eyes off the screen for even a few hours could mean missing a major policy reversal. Trump’s weekend tariff flip-flops have turned investing into a full-time surveillance job. I used to follow longer-term strategies with confidence, but now it feels like every move requires a backup plan—just in case there’s another tweet or press release while I’m sleeping. Lately, I’ve found myself shifting toward faster, more reactive trades. Instead of holding positions for weeks, I’m looking at daily or even intraday setups. The market’s not short on opportunities, but with the rules constantly changing, it’s hard to trust anything long enough to hold it through the weekend. That said, I’m not giving up or tuning out—I’m just adjusting. While

🌟🌟🌟It is absolutely exhausting trying to keep up with Donald Trump's ever changing tariff policies.  While I do stay informed by keeping up with the latest announcements, there is more to life than just watching the news 24 /7. What I can do that is within my control, is to diversify my investments.  My favourite strategy is to hold a diversified portfolio of ETFs in different markets - the US, Hong Kong   Australia and Singapore.  These can help me to reduce my risks from sudden policy changes. Warren Buffett also said "Only buy something that you be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years. It  is about avoiding short term speculation and the power of long term investing. @Tiger_commen

Stop Watching: Protect Your Peace Amidst Trump's ImpactWith constant political shifts under Trump’s influence, it’s important to stop obsessively following every development. The media cycle can become overwhelming, causing stress and anxiety. By limiting your consumption, you protect your mental health and restore balance. Choose quality over quantity when staying informed. Resting from news gives you space to think clearly and act rationally, rather than reacting impulsively. Prioritize your well-being—sometimes stepping away is the healthiest option.

I neither stop watching nor stop sleeping as the IV I had last Thursday for my endoscopy is still in my body [Facepalm][Cry][Anger][Gosh][OMG][Sad][Speechless]😠😤😡🤬🤕😓🤯😭😵‍💫.

Instead, thinking of ways to get ride of the IV in my body. 😠😤😡🤬

Definitely better to stop watching and to just sleep through the night and keep my sanity. Trump flips his tariffs like prata and there is no end to it. I prefer to buy my ETFs when they are cheaper and average down. His swinging policies make it suitable for swing trading. In times like these, I think best to take profits in order to get a good night sleep and sleep through all his flip flopping. @SPOT_ON @Kaixiang @rL @Success88 @Fenger1188 @KYHBKO
