Whenever I win a football game, I just can’t tell you how incredible it will feel. There is a real sense of accomplishment that comes with playing football. When you train with a group and work hard, you will see what it means to you. Winning a game is more than just a victory – it is a sign that you’re doing well and progressing. Everyone in the team will get a chance to celebrate and have some fun together. There is nothing like winning to make me feel like a superstar. Moreover, football makes me feel confident. Before I play football, I was a shy person. However, after I joined a team of guys to play football, I start to come out of my shell. There are many ways in which playing football will help me. First of all, I gain a whole new group of mates. They encourage and suppor

I vote for $Apple(AAPL)$ .The tech giant is more focused than its megacap peers Apple's business is very focused, compared to some megacap peers. Amazon, for instance, seems to have its hands in almost everything, including online store revenue, private-label products across all sorts of categories, various tech devices, streaming TV and music services, cloud computing, grocery stores, and much more. Meanwhile, the beauty of Apple's business is easily articulated through nothing more than its product segments: iPhone, Mac, iPad, services, and "wearables, home, and accessories," which largely consists of earphones, headphones, and voice-activated speakers. The smaller base of products today means the company can

Football is the most beautiful sport in the world and if you play it, you certainly know the feeling you have when you manage to dribble an opponent or when you score. In a world where boundaries are blurring by the day, all it takes is a 90 minute long football match to evoke love, passion, persistence, team spirit, brotherhood and sportsmanship not only among those playing but also among those watching. And in all honesty I believe the world needs more of the latter than ever before. Here I rest my case - "Football is not just a game". For me, discovering my passion in life is an extraordinary gift. Knowing what I understand and how I can use it to live your life is a wonderful feeling and not everyone realizes it. @TigerEvents 

The FOMC will likely raise interest rates by 50 basis points (bps) in December after four consecutive rate hikes of 75 bps a piece over the past five months. It will also likely continue to allow billions in assets to roll off its $8.6 trillion balance sheet per month as it continues its battle to bring down inflation. The Fed is trying to navigate a “soft landing” for the U.S. economy—that means it’s attempting to reduce the rate of inflation to around 2% without triggering a recession. The S&P 500 has gained 13.9% since the beginning of October on optimism surrounding recent inflation trends, but there are still several red flags that the Fed’s battle with inflation could be longer and more difficult than investors anticipate. @Tiger

From a long-term investment perspective, Tesla has a lot of potential. This company isn’t just a play on the EV growth story. Instead, it’s a play on EVs, self-driving technology, artificial intelligence, batteries and renewable energy, robotics, and more. Tesla has grown its sales by around 150% over the last three years, is expected to keep growing at a rapid pace in the years ahead. For 2022 and 2023, Wall Street analysts expect it to generate revenue of $83.5bn and $116.6bn respectively. These figures represent growth of about 55% and 40%. In the short term however, I see a number of factors that could potentially send Tesla’s share price lower. One major issue right now is Musk’s purchase of Twitter. This could be a real distraction for the visionary CEO. Will he have enough time to r

I support Singapore. Four-time AFF Championship winners Singapore will enter the competition this year with ultimate glory in their sight. The Lions will kick off their tournament against Myanmar on December 24 before facing Laos, Vietnam and Malaysia in Group B. The experienced Hassan Sunny is likely to get the nod as Singapore's No.1 at this year's tournament, with Ziaful Nizam expected to serve as his back-up. Singapore have a nice mix of youth and experience in defence. There's legendary skipper Hariss Harun, Shakir Hamzah and Nazrul Nazari who are all in their 30s, while Ryaan Sanizal, Ryhan Stewart and Nur Adam Abdullar are still Under-23. Irfan Fandi, meanwhile, is one of those players who has seemingly been around for decades, but is still only 25 as well and is a formidable option

The conventional wisdom that higher rates are good for bank stocks has been a losing bet for investors this year, and it is no different on Monday.Shares of Goldman Sachs dropped 2.3%, making the investment bank one of the worst performers in the Dow. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley each dropped nearly 2%, while Citigroup sank 3%.Non-bank financials are also taking it on the chin. American Express fell 2%, while insurance stock Travelers shed 3%.Real estate and utilities were the two biggest laggards in the S&P 500 during Monday trading, with the sectors down 3.1% and 2.5%.Shares of real estate companies Ventas and Kimco Realty were the two worst performing stocks in the broader market index, falling 5% and 4.8%.Utilities companies AES and First Energy declined 4.5% and 3.3% each.

After one of the worst weeks for the stock market in 2022, two factors could swing the market over the next few days and set investors up for a tumultuous fourth quarter.The market is reeling after a broad selloff on Friday, capping off a two-week swoon that took the S&P 500 down 9.2%, to 3693. The index is down 23% from its January peak. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has made it clear that the Fed’s primary concern is inflation, and the central bank is willing to impose financial pain to bring it down. Investors are increasingly believing him.That means that the market is likely to swing on two main themes over the next few weeks—inflation data and any hints of what the Fed plans to do in their next few meetings. In the next week, more of those hints could be on their way.Inv

U.S. stocks scrambled higher Thursday to end a back-and-forth session in the green after rate worries drove four consecutive days of declines for the S&P 500 (^GSPC). The benchmark U.S. equity index gained 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) added 110 points, or 0.3%. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) climbed 0.7%. A batch of economic data hit traders' desks early Thursday. The government's second estimate of fourth-quarter GDP was downwardly revised to 2.7% compared to 2.9% reported last month in the preliminary reading, reflecting weaker consumer spending and higher inflation figures in the final three months of 2022. Filings for unemployment insurance fell last week to 192,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expe
