1. Black swan preparedness: unfortunately I don't have both $ETFS Physical Gold(GOLD.AU)$ and oil in my portfolio. 2. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ lesson: yes. Was observing and stilled away when Meta starts to announce their supply chain partners. $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ 3. Did I protect my profits in February: I stayed away to monitor the situation. I have little exposure and have little to protect. Yes, I think gold is likely to exceed $5500 in march.
I've always wondered if buybacks are a tool to stop the bleeding during big market drops. Does it get easier to read the market once those buyback programmes are finished? DBS seems to be doing fine without much buyback support at the moment—perhaps they are saving their 'bullets' for a better entry price? I personally prefer DBS over its peers because of its massive scale, its 'national bank' status through POSB, and its lead in the digital spac But i will wait awhile more with new tariff discussion on the card now. How about you? 😅e..
$UOB(U11.SI)$ it took DBS about 5 trade days to stop the drop after reporting. Will history repeat here? When DBS - being the biggest bank reporting profit drop, my six sense told me likely all local banks may face similar outcome. 😅 Let's see the next reporting by ocbc...hopefully i am wrong and ocbc can be better.
@HRHRHRHR:$Microsoft(MSFT)$ $416 now... back to Year 2024 prices.. Imagine holding this stock till Jan 2026 and getting nothing in return 😅 So tempted to add MFST but gut feeling says geopolitics will cause the stock to fall much lower.
@Asamayam:$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Reflection 1. Stick to objective. As my objective is day trading. Then it is a good job that despite the loss, I did not went to do "dollar-cost averaging" which I would have suffer even higher losses. 2. Failure on my end to initiate a stop loss. As I am trading using leverage. I could impose a limit on my loss and execute using stop-loss to limit my losses. Despite buying at oversold signal, there wasn't a bounce back.
