If I could only hold one of these stocks through 2026, i’d pick MU because it has the highest EPS. AI and demand for data centres will continue to be one of the top trends for 2026. Memory and storage is set to also be in demand. It’s just that the realisation came a little later than chips. Chips has rallied for most of 2025 and it is clear that shortage of memory might continue well into 2027 as forecast by many analysts. This demand will drive up the price of MU just like how it had happened for Nvidia. Valuation of MU is also lower compared to the chip makers. So, I feel that for 2026, it offers growth potential at a fair value price which means that there is sufficient safety margin for stock price growth and profit for me. @Wayneq

I think the single most important variable for crypto in the next year is policy. Crypto is no longer that separate an asset class like stock. It is still back to supply and demand and unlike stocks, crypto do not have fundamental growth potential. The value rose as it gets more scarce. Although it has some use cases, that has yet to fully take off to drive further demand and the price. So, if the US government shifts gears to be less pro-crypto, sentiment and demand will drop. Crypto will be less in demand and liquidity will drop especially with the current already high price that can be prohibitive. Given the volatile nature of crypto, I doubt institutional and retail investors will allocate large portions of their portfolio as many will also keep an eye on policy and the global ec

Congratulations on a really creative year again! Apart from the million-dollar blanket, I do like the MagSafe card wallet and phone stand too. The card wallet and phone stand is practical yet subtly making a statement about making a profit. As a spin off to the blanket, a bath towel or table runner of similar design would be practical and popular among many Tigers here too! It would be nice to use the towel and see the million dollar goal on our dining table daily to remind us of this goal! @SR050321 @SPOT_ON @LuckyPiggie @Wayneqq

I first ‘understand’ Doji and indecision is important as it signals the reversal of the current trade and it helps me position my trades on whether it would be time to buy or sell. When I see a long upper shadow, I would wait for the next candle to confirm as it is the first sign of reversal. A doji after a long bullish candle often ‘tricks’ traders as traders would wonder if the bull run has end and how they should position their trades. @Fenger1188 @Kaixiang @LuckyPiggie @Universe宇宙 @HelenJanet

I am definitely a conservative investor as I prefer to manage my risks and try to minimise major drops in my portfolio. However, an exception to that would be my investment in HK and China stocks as these tend to be volatile and without reason. This stems from my conviction that China would eventually be the world’s top economy given their expertise and population size. For US stocks, my main investments are in ETFs rather than individual stocks as I tend to buy and hold and the proven safe strategy would be to invest in ETFs instead of individual stocks. Of course, my US ETFs have done well as these top 10 stocks are easily part of the underlying holdings for most ETFs, just that returns are definitely not as good. In the new year, I think I would still continue to stick to my strategy

I have always believed in Chinese tech and have kept my position in Tencent though I have also traded to lock in profits or to average down on my position cost. It was tough keeping to it when the US stocks were soaring for the past few years post covid and especially when rate cuts took place. Moving into 2026, I remain convicted that Chinese tech stocks will continue to shine as the Chinese compete with the US not just to play catch up but to be the next world leader and the Chinese do have it going for them with their hunger to lead and the expertise that they have. With geopolitical tensions, I don’t think the Chinese government will impose restrictions on them as they too need the Chinese tech to shine. Maybe I do regret missing out on the gold rally but this is an asset class I do

It’s hard to tell if gold will really hit $5000 in 2026. It will require all the stars to align where geopolitical risks remain high, US debts continue to deepen, consistent buying by both retail investors and the central banks, high risk of economic recession and Japan raise rates. Rate cuts might help with the US debt. If these fade off then gold prices should start to fall. Personally, my preference has always been to trade ETFs as it carries the least risk compared to futures and leveraged ETFs. I also do not have to try to predict future events and gives me the flexibility of trading when the prices are right with less fear even in situations where I unfortunately become a bag holder. @SPOT_ON

I think trump’s liberation day and the related taco trades really defined 2025. The stock market responded in fear and dropped rapidly, bringing back to memories of Covid and the market crash that was still fresh in many minds. Of course, his taco also brought the stock market to the later upswings and dips again when the so-called trade talks failed and tariffs were introduced or heightened. I think the taco trades really taught me the most this year. It taught me to really depend on fundamentals yet also allowed me to capitalise on the market volatility to trade on top of just investing. It taught me to be really convicted about fundamentals and to block out all noise and fear to continue to add to my positions. Of course, when the fear subsided and the stock prices rebounded, I took pro

I think Morgan Stanley’s predictions are too bullish. While I expect the next year to continue to rally forward, I don’t think it is as rosy as painted. No one can be completely sure of what events are going to play out next year and the world is increasingly contentious and fragmented with each more obviously looking out for their own interest. I do think that equities will outperform credit and government bonds as for most years and so most likely to come true. Earnings reports have been strong and definitely many expect rate cuts to happen next year as the Fed chair changes and is expected to align with trump’s wish of rapid rate cuts. This will be significant in driving the US stocks rally and AI definitely will be centre stage as the world capitalise on its potential and with the ra

As I am still young, I definitely choose blue chip stocks and high yield REITs over bonds. Blue chip stocks mainly for growth and high yield REITs for the dividends and potentially some capital gain. I prefer CPF for now as the compounding in SRS means that eventually I still have to pay tax at a later time because I would amass a sum larger than the tax free withdrawal amount and with my current salary, the tax savings is not significant yet. With CPF, I can withdraw without worries about paying tax and the interest from the special account can be considered as a good dividend rate, though at the expense of liquidity which is similar to SRS. The main limitation with CPF is that the amount I can top up is lesser than SRS which limits my ability to fully maximise it for tax savings. At

Although there is a drop in the market, I don’t think this is the time to add. Market response has been mainly towards rate cut expectations and have ignored that fundamentally, the labour market remains strong and economic data have not suggested impending recession. Many of the companies have delivered earnings that beat expectations. The pullback has been painful but not big enough for me to add positions. I prefer to stay calm in this time and continue to watch the macroeconomic situation. The current valuation of most stocks are near historical ranges where they are neither too expensive to be considered a bubble but also not cheap enough for me to consider adding positions. I would need to wait for another 5-10% pullback before adding. I believe once the panic settles, there will act
