In the Singapore market, many investors follow a familiar, painful path: Buying based on "hot tips," chasing rallies, and doubling down on losing positions. It starts with a stock at $2.50, and by the time it hits $0.80, you’re fully loaded and trapped. Losing money isn't a matter of luck; it’s a matter of "the system." By deconstructing the logic of successful traders, we’ve identified 4 core habits that can fundamentally change your trading trajectory. No magic indicators—just iron discipline. 1️⃣ Never Fight the Trend: Stop the "Bottom-Fishing" Illusion The most persistent delusion for retail investors is trying to "guess the bottom." The Old Trap: Buying a dip just because it "looks cheap." The New Rule: Trade only in an uptrend. Let go of the obsession with catching the absolute botto

This week, the two giants of China’s tech sector, $TENCENT(00700)$ and $BABA-W(09988)$ , both saw their shares tumble following their latest earnings releases. Prior to the reports, Tencent had surged 7% as a leading "OpenClaw" concept stock. However, just two days later, that momentum evaporated as market anxieties over heavy AI spending took hold. Is this post-earnings dip a "buying the valley" opportunity? Let’s dive into the latest analyst insights to find out. Institutional Views: AI Investment Accelerating, Near-Term Profits Under Pressure $Alibaba(BABA)$: Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight, Price Target US$180 Morgan Stanley's report is a mix of highlig

Tonight, the market welcomes a heavyweight earnings report: Micron (MU). The memory sector has seen a phenomenal rally over the past two years. With recent NVIDIA GTC and CES failing to fully satisfy market appetite, the spotlight now shifts entirely to the memory giants! The current market logic centers on the "Physical Limit of AI," which is essentially Memory Bandwidth. No matter how powerful the computing performance is, if the storage (HBM) can't keep up, the processing power will simply "idle." For tonight’s Micron earnings, the market isn't just looking at Revenue and EPS. The real focus is on Gross Margins, HBM Demand, and Future Guidance. Driven by AI, the memory industry has entered a "High-Prosperity" cycle, where rising prices are rapidly translating into profit elasticity. How

As tensions in the Middle East escalate, the once-shining halo of Dubai as a “safe-haven tax paradise” seems to be fading. Wealthy investors who once rushed there for tax advantages are now reportedly calling Singapore lawyers overnight to move money back. A Singapore family-office lawyer revealed that about one-third of his 20 Dubai-based clients have already started procedures this week to shift assets out. The average net worth of these clients exceeds $50 million. If Capital Flows Back, Who Wins in Singapore? If this wave of risk-driven capital migration continues, several Singapore companies could be positioned to capture the inflow. 1️⃣ Banking Giants: AUM Boom As Southeast Asia’s largest bank, $DBS(D05.SI)$ is a top choice for family-offi

The year 2026 started off strong, but recent geopolitical tensions sent the three major banks sliding. Surprisingly, $DBS(D05.SI)$ , has become this year’s laggard—down 1.2% year-to-date, while $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ bucked the trend with a 5.9% gain. In the investment world, a price drop often signals opportunity, especially in dividend yield. Who Has the Stronger Fundamentals? Despite share price pressure, are Singapore banks’ fundamentals really shaken? Let’s review 4Q25 results: OCBC Shines: The only local bank with year-on-year net profit growth (+3.4%) in 4Q25. Non-interest income performed well, and net interest margin (NIM) also rebounded. DBS Under Pressure: Net profit fell 10.5% YoY, mainly due

$WTI Crude Oil - main 2604(CLmain)$ surged 7% today, touching $76 in premarket trading. $Natural Gas - main 2604(NGmain)$ jumped nearly 5% in a single session, while precious metals lagged behind.

This Wednesday, $SIA(C6L.SI)$ surged to a seven-month intraday high of S$7.19. Despite intensifying industry competition and downward pressure on pricing, SIA's Passenger Yield unexpectedly staged a turnaround.

Net Profit: S$505 million, a year-on-year plunge of 68.9%. The profit crash was not due to poor operations, but rather a high base effect. Last year’s quarter included a S$1.1 billion one-off accounting gai

The latest earnings season has wrapped up, and from Singapore to Wall Street, bank stocks have seemingly failed to escape the "sell-on-news" correction. All three SG local banks slumped post-earnings, with UOB hit the hardest, diving 4% in a single day. Is this a necessary risk release, or a golden opportunity to lock in high dividend yields? 1. Interest Rate Anxiety: AI Transformation vs. Operating Costs US Giants ( $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ , $Wells Fargo(WFC)$ , $Bank of America(BAC)$ ): The market is being brutally unforgiving.

The 2026 US stock market is destined to be the year of the "Unicorn Terminators." With SpaceX completing its acquisition of xAI and OpenAI’s IPO rumors intensifying for year-end, we are likely witnessing the largest wealth creation event in history. These three giants are more than just companies; they are entities capable of shifting entire index weightings. Would you bet on Elon Musk’s "Multi-planetary" vision or the "New Microsoft" of the AI era? 1️⃣ SpaceX: The $1.5 Trillion Interstellar Hegemon SpaceX has recently integrated xAI (valued at $250B) into its ecosystem, a masterstroke that has paved the way for a staggering $1.5 trillion IPO valuation. The Edge: Dominating 50% of global rocket launches with monopoly-level reusable technology. The Bull Case: "Starlink" is no longer just a

A new congressional disclosure has once again reignited debate around tracking lawmakers’ trades. Nancy Pelosi reported roughly $69 million in recent transactions, highlighted by the sale of about $50 million worth of $Apple(AAPL)$, along with reductions in $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ and $Walt Disney(DIS)$ At the same time, Pelosi added new LEAP call options on $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ , $Amazon.com(AMZN)$, $Apple(AAPL)$, and $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , using far less capital to retain upside exposure. The message is subtl

Right now, the hottest trades in the market are clearly gold and the storage sector. But the biggest problem is: we can’t catch up — prices have moved way too fast! Just five months ago, $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ was widely seen as a legacy flash maker held back by aging products. Today, after a nearly 1,000% rally, it has become one of the best-performing S&P 500 stocks and a core AI trade. But it’s not just retail investors who missed it, even smart money got it wrong. The key behind-the-scenes force pushing SanDisk’s spin-off was the famous activist hedge fund Elliott Management — yet it missed most of the upside. SanDisk was spun off from Western Digital last February, largely due to Elliott’s long-term pressure. Elliott believed the combined
