$.SPX(.SPX)$ $Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund(UUP)$ Happy new Year Everyone!!! 2025 will be a new start and also a challenging time. Today I will discuss 2025 Donald Economic, USD and China. Donald Trump faces a complex economic conundrum as he seeks to balance two key objectives: boosting U.S. exports to create jobs and reduce the trade deficit, while maintaining the dominance of the U.S. dollar in global transactions. These goals, however, are inherently contradictory, as achieving one often undermines the other. Trump's Economic Dilemma A Weaker Dollar for Trade Goals Trump has long advocated for policies that would lower the dollar's value to make American exports more competitive and shrink th

As the year draws to a close, I find myself facing a dilemma that many investors experience — the pullback in the markets is starting to create some turbulence in my portfolio. While the temptation to lock in profits might be strong for many traders, I’m in a different situation. Unfortunately, my current portfolio, which consists of two ETFs and three individual stocks, is still in unrealized losses. It feels frustrating to watch the value of my investments decline, especially when so many are advising caution or taking profits. 1. Market Timing vs. Long-Term Vision It’s easy to feel the pressure to time the market perfectly when things seem to be in the red. However, history tells us that market timing is often a risky strategy. While I’m currently facing unrealized losses, I remain conf

As we close the chapter on 2024, it’s time to reflect on an eventful year in the investment landscape. From the Federal Reserve’s policy shifts to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and clean energy, investors navigated opportunities and challenges across global markets. Let’s dive into the key highlights of 2024, sectoral performance, and lessons that will shape investment strategies moving forward. 1. Macroeconomic Landscape: Navigating Uncertainty 2024 was marked by an economic soft landing that defied recession fears. The U.S. economy demonstrated resilience, driven by strong consumer spending, a robust labor market, and moderating inflation. Inflation: Inflation continued to cool, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) dropping closer to the Federal Reserve’s 2% target. Supply

🌟🌟🌟2024 has been an phenomenal year for me with the US and Singapore markets reaching their all time highs.  The US equities especially the Magnificent 7 - Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Tesla and Nvidia have led the growth and now make up about a third of the S&P500, compared with about a quarter at the end of 2023. My investment portfolio consists of 2 parts - Core and Satellite.  The Core part forms the foundation of my investment strategy.   These are predominantly quality stocks and ETFs.   The Satellite part consists of growth stocks and stocks that have a potential to grow exponentially.  These are stocks that tend to be  more volatile  in nature.

2024 Market Recap: 2024 had an interesting start. It was a rocky beginning, but the market picked up significant momentum as the year progressed. The rally really took off following Trump's re-election, boosting investor sentiment across various sectors.  The standout sectors of the year definitely belonged to AI, quantum computing, and Trump or Musk related themes.  The AI boom, fueled by technological advancements and massive investments, especially from companies like Nvidia, truly dominated the market.  Quantum computing, still in its early stages, also captured attention as companies in this space pushed forward with new breakthroughs.  Meanwhile, Trump and Musk-related stocks, particularly in electric vehicles and innovation, benefited from ongoing political and t

$Wal-Mart(WMT)$ $Netflix(NFLX)$ $T-Mobile US(TMUS)$ Many economists, including members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), are expecting a soft landing for the U.S. economy in 2025. This would involve a slowdown in gross domestic product growth without tipping into a recession. However, a single misstep in Federal Reserve policy could have significant negative consequences for the economy, making the coming months crucial for the central bank. If the Fed cuts rates too quickly, it could provoke a dangerous resurgence of inflation. Conversely, if rate cuts are too slow, they could push the economy into a recession. While economic recessions are a normal pa

$.SPX(.SPX)$ $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ When evaluating the overall health of the stock market, I consider several factors, including valuations and investor sentiment. Are investors extremely bullish or bearish? Right now, multiple indicators are flashing red, something we haven't seen since August 2019. One of my favorite indicators, which I’ve frequently use, is finally signaling a potential shift. This is significant, and I feel it's crucial to share it with you. I see some comments saying the market will never decline, telling people to buy more stocks, or shorting the market. As Howard Marks said, "You can't predict, but you can prepare."
