Have You Made Your First Trade?

People always hope for a good start, as it brings more confidence to face what comes next. In the stock market, there’s a saying that a strong January performance often signals a higher chance of market gains for the entire year. Conversely, if January ends in the red, there’s a higher likelihood of a down year overall. ---------------------- On the first trading day of the new year, do you think the market will close up or down? Will the market achieve the hoped-for positive start?

The first trading day of 2025 saw the Nasdaq Composite Index ( $.IXIC(.IXIC)$ ) closing down 0.16%, defying pre-market expectations. At one point, the index plummeted by almost 300 points, reflecting a tumultuous session. Several factors contributed to this decline: 1. Rising Treasury Yields: The 10-year Treasury yield approached 4.6%, exerting pressure on growth stocks, particularly in the tech sector. Higher yields often result in reduced future earnings for these companies, prompting investors to reconsider their positions. 2. Sector Underperformance: Key sectors, including consumer discretionary, information technology, and materials, lagged behind. Tesla's ( $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ) nearly 7% drop,

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$   According to Phil Panaro, a former senior advisor at Boston Consulting Group, Nvidia's (NVDA) stock price could reach $800 by 2030. Panaro believes that Nvidia's stock could increase by 545% by the end of the decade. Panaro's prediction is based on Nvidia's strong growth, including: Quarterly revenue: Nvidia reached $35 billion in quarterly revenue, which is more than $8 billion over its full 2023 earnings. AI revolution: Nvidia is expected to benefit from the artificial intelligence revolution. Web3 transition: Nvidia is expected to benefit from the transition from Web2 to Web3, which is the idea that the internet's next era will be based on blockchain technology.

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ is well-positioned for long-term growth, benefiting from its leadership in AI and big data analytics. With key government contracts, including with the U.S. Department of Defense, and expanding commercial clients, Palantir has strong fundamentals supporting its growth. Recently, the stock has pulled back to the EMA25 support level, which is particularly noteworthy as it’s the first time in two months that it has reached this point. The EMA25 is often a key level for trend continuation, and this pullback could present an ideal entry point for investors. If Palantir manages to hold above the EMA25, it could signal a bullish reversal and the start of a new upward trend. Additionally, Palantir’s strategic partnershi

The 2025 outlook predicts strong U.S. economic growth driven by fiscal policies and a booming tech sector, though inflation may fall short of targets due to trade barriers. Stock market returns are expected to moderate, with AI-driven momentum in U.S. equities. However, the bond market outlook is uncertain due to concerns over government borrowing. Wall Street recommends diversified asset allocation to manage risks from trade policies and inflation. Some institutions foresee a U.S. soft landing, while others warn about the impact of tariffs and global uncertainties. Interest rates are expected to decline in some regions. Tiger Wealth highlights technology sectors like AI, robotics, and semiconductors for investment, alongside defensive sectors like gold and healthcare for diversification.

🌟🌟🌟2025 has arrived and it is going to be a Year of Change - A New US President Donald Trump who is pro Crypto and his mojo is MAGA - Make America Great Again. I believe that Bitcoin will have a great year with Donald Trump in charge and may continue to rise to well over USD 100,000.    It is a great time to buy Bitcoin before it heads upwards.  @Tiger_comments  @TigerClub  @TigerStars

My mind is still hibernating as overjoyed with SG dividends, salary increment, profit sharing, individual performance bonus and lastly interest from CPF. Anyway, this sleeping beauty is still “sleeping” till next Tuesday morning so that she can go on full turbo when she is “alive” next week. Anyway, those SG stocks that I m keen on DCA will start paying dividends in Feb. As long as this “sleeping beauty” is awake before XD, I m fine. [LOL][Smile][Happy][Chuckle]. I m the 🐢 or 🐌 and not 🐇

The top 3 performers in the S&P 500 for year 2024 are all about AI. These 3 stocks, $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$, $Vistra Energy Corp.(VST)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ are still hot on the investors’s list for year 2025. We also focus on new opportunities in the fresh year ahead. The share prices of $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ and $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ have entered attractive price zones with their recent market dip. Thanks @Tiger_comments @icycrystal
Not a great start to 2025. Is this a sign of more to come from the Musk/Trump presidency? Lower cap stocks appear to be doing well, larger cap stocks are seeing significant declines. A change in market sentiment? A lengthened profit taking period? Or just under performing large cap stocks dragging the markets down...maybe a culmination of all of the above? I'm hoping the CES2025 event next week will throw some much needed stimulus into a very volatile market.

Good news Wall Street's consensus on 2025 market trends is Strong Growth in the U.S. Economy and Assets, Inflation Under Control but Falling Short of Targets. There will be Moderate Stock Market Returns of not more than 20%. There is also Uncertainty in Bond Market Performance. The final recommendation is Diversified Allocation of investments is the Key Strategy. This is crucial for mitigating risks. Thanks for sharing @Tiger_Academy @icycrystal

Started Accumulating beaten down Singapore REIT -  $Frasers L&C Tr(BUOU.SI)$  below 90cent in January 2025.  It is now trading at over 7% twelve month trailing dividend . Since I am existing investor, I will use this opportunity to average my existing position. Buying more Singapore Reit needs to have medium long term time horizon. My goal is to build up my passive income pot.

I will be looking to sell to lock in profits rather than to buy. Stocks have rallied too crazily. Better to have cash on hand to buy when the next dip happens. @Universe宇宙 @Kaixiang @rL @Wayneqq @SPOT_ON @HelenJanet @DiAngel @Fenger1188 @Success88
