I voted for the shirt too. In fact, I am now wearing one of the Tiger shirts! Good to be comfortable when trading or participating in Tiger activities. Having a shirt that says I attract money sounds brilliant. I have a suggestion for another merchandise. How about a wired/ wireless mouse? This would be good for people who trade on desktop or people who work on the go. It is literally a walking advertisement for Tiger! @Wayneqq @Kaixiang @DiAngel @rL @SPOT_ON @Uni
I think panic selling has begun. It is always better to lock in profits. However, for me I would prefer to wait before I make any trade. I would prefer to buy the dip at a later time as I feel that the market still has more to go down. I might nibble a bit if the price is really tempting. I would definitely prefer to stick with ETFs that are less volatile instead of individual stocks. The recession trade will definitely happen if countries retaliate but I believe most leaders would hold it as a trade war wouldn’t benefit their countries. Most would engage in a dialogue with trump which is what he wants and when he reduces the tariffs, the market should lift again. The key question is we don’t know when this would happen and what the other countries would do. It is also a possibility that c
I like both as both recently reported earnings that beat expectations. Of course, popmart exceeded more. In the short term over less than 1 year, I would favour popmart as the craze over the dolls like labubu continues. However, there is no telling when this craze would die down and they cannot expand as fast as expected. On the other hand, mixue’s price point reaches out to the masses and now has even more outlets than Starbucks. There is still capacity for it to even have more outlets that would contribute to its revenue. The main issue would be the rise of competitors in the future. If I were to choose one that I would hold for more than a year, I feel that mixue would be less risky as indulging in tea and sweet treats is more likely to happen than the masses getting the dolls and blind
I think the ‘April effect’ will be eroded by trump’s tarring pressures. Afterall, the world hates trade wars and investors hate uncertainty. Trump threatens tariffs again and again as his negotiation wild card but does not commit to them or may u-turn once the country relents on their own tariffs for American goods. The fear will go on as long as uncertainty exists and the wars don’t end as trump promised. I wouldn’t consider antifragile trades as they may also reverse unexpectedly as long as the trump news subsides or both countries can real a new deal or lowered tariffs for both sides. I would prefer to watch and buy good stocks at a discount. @SPOT_ON @rL
A nervous investor calls his broker. "My portfolio is doing terribly! Everything is down!" The broker says, "Relax, sir. Think of it like a rollercoaster. You have to go down before you can..." The investor interrupts, "Yeah, but this rollercoaster seems to be missing the 'going back up' part and just keeps digging a hole down!" @Success88 @Fenger1188 @HelenJanet @Wayneqq @Kaixiang @DiAngel @SPOT_ON
I love beef rendang, the aroma of the spices and the well cooked beef that comes apart easily in my mouth and releasing the fragrance of the spices. Unfortunately, my family does not have the recipe for it. I have to go the Malay stalls to get good ones. I would love for anyone here to share with me a good recipe for beef rendang! I love kueh salat with the Pandan fragrance and ondeh-ondeh, especially those with the liquid core that spills out with a bite and with a sweet coconut core or sweet. @Universe宇宙 @rL @Kaixiang @Success88
I think both trump and high valuations drag down the market. Valuations have been high and trump’s tariffs put fears of trade wars and created uncertainty for investors. I am still in the green for my US stocks and would prefer to hold them. In the longer term, I still believe that the stocks will go higher and generate more returns for me. For now, I would not add positions yet as I think there is still further downside with the heightened fears for trade wars and uncertainty. I will definitely add to my positions at my target price. For now, it will be kee calm and just watch the bloodshed, no need to rush into trades. If volatility is high, I might consider swing trading good stocks with good long term prospects so that even if I’m ‘stuck’ with it, I would not be worried.
No I won’t participate in Chagee’s IPO. The decline in same store sales is concerning. I’m not sure if there is sufficient demand and sale volume to continue to drive profits. The fact that it is reaching out the middle income means that its outreach to the masses will be limited. I do like its drink and admit that I prefer it over the other tea brands as it is definitely more fragrant than its competitors and the transparency on its calories does apppeal to my health needs. However, I am not confident that it would remain profitable and have offer me great returns in my investment in it. I would prefer to watch further to determine its profitability and ability for the business to flourish. @Kaixiang
I bought mainly HK stocks so I’m happy! I bought mixue and mao Geping. As with the usual HK stocks, it is volatile. So, I have been mainly trading them to get profits. I think it is my experience from the past that it is better to have smaller profits than to be stuck with it. I will only buy stocks that I believe will do well in the longer term and seek to buy them at the appropriate price before selling them off to take profit. This will be my strategy in Q2 as well. The more volatile it is, the better it is to swing trade. The underlying important thing is still to only buy good companies that I do not mind holding. @SPOT_ON @Fenger1188
I am a right-side trader. For example, the HK market has been dropping in the last 4 years. In this market, I won’t be a left side trader as the lows can get even lower and I don’t want to be catching a falling knife. So, I prefer to be wait for the trend to reverse before entering or to enter when there is some sign of a rally. For US stocks and SREITS, I prefer to enter when my target price is reached as I tend to invest in these for the longer term. However, I may swing to become a left-side trader during earnings season. I might try to get ahead of a rally if I expect the company to be able to meet or exceed expectations. This is risky, so it has to be stock that I believe in the longer term prospects and the entering price has to be reasonable.
