To The Moon

🌟🌟🌟The trading experience that hurts the most is No.5 - Big Gains on paper but now is Red.  A good example that I have experienced this week is the USD 1 trillion memory stock rout that dragged $Roundhill Memory ETF(DRAM)$ down 16.7% to USD46.45. I bought at the peak, experienced big gains on paper but now it is red. The lesson I learnt is when I sit at unrealised gains of 30%, it is a paper illusion.  It teaches me the most critical discipline in wealth building: The stock market does not pay you for being right.  It only pays when you hit sell. The reason I got trapped is the toxic belief that a skyrocketing stock will go up forever.  When DRAM ETF was flying high at USD 81, I did not lock in gains. I did not implement a tr

🌟🌟🌟If you want a concrete example of these heartbreaks playing out in real time on Wall Street right now, look no further than the horrific week hitting global semiconductor memory chip stocks. The poster child for this chaos is $Roundhill Memory ETF(DRAM)$ , launched in April 2026 to capture the unquenchable AI demand for data storage.  Its heavily concentrated Big 3 holdings - $Micron Technology(MU)$ $SK hynix(SKHY)$ & Samsung Electronics experienced a wipeout this week. I bought at the peak & was up 30% but did not take profits.  I have experienced basement in the abyss. Which one hurts the most? No.5: Unrealised profits turning into unreal

🌟With challenging energy markets in Australia,  my top pick is $ORIGIN ENERGY LTD(ORG.AU)$ as it is one of Australia's dominant Tier 1 integrated energy companies.  Origin controls about 26% of the domestic electricity and gas retail market.  Analysts view Origin as a favoured defensive haven and income generator.  This is driven by its unique multi pronged business structure.  This hedges its exposure to volatile domestic power markets. Origin's operations are divided into 3 divisions:  Energy Markets - domestic retail & generation.  It serves over 1.8 million customers.  It has a large generation portfolio too. Integrated Gas: Origin has partnered with Australia Pacific LNG exporting LNG globally.

🌟🌟🌟The gravity of high interest rates in Australia is clashing with the cooling embers of the AI hype cycle.  This leaves Aussie investors at a crossroad.  As the RBA keeps interest rate choked at a 15 year high of 4.6% & global bond yields are at multi decades high, the easy money playbook is gone. The market's next round of wealth creation will not belong to the dreamers but to the resilient. The smart money is now rotating to C: Banking & Energy. My Top Pick  is $COMMONWEALTH BANK OF AUSTRALIA(CBA.AU)$ .  It is the undisputed king of Australian retail banking as it holds the dominant share of the domestic home loan market. With a higher for longer interest rates, CBA is able to leverage its huge retail deposit ba

🌟🌟🌟For the past 2 years, Wall Street behaved like a starstruck teenager.  If an investment did not have "AI" tattooed on its prospectus, fund managers treated it like an old fashioned dial-up modem.  We blindly worshiped at the altar of exponential growth, eagerly pricing tech giants as if they would effortlessly automate the universe instantly. But a funny thing happens when you price a stock for absolute perfection: the slightest speck of dust feels like a train wreck. Welcome to The Great Tech Rotation of 2026.  The glitzy mega cap tech sector has just endured a staggering multi trillion dollar strategic retreat.  The market's most favoured children are suddenly showing signs of severe fatigue as investors grow increasingly allergic to the eye watering , profit devou

🌟🌟🌟Barclays analyst Dan Levy dropped a bombshell note predicting that a monumental $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ & $SpaceX(SPCX)$ merger announcement could land before Tesla's December AGM. SpaceX would acquire Tesla in an all stock transaction at an expected ratio of 0.7 SpaceX shares per Tesla shares. Suddenly we are evaluating a complex multi trillion dollar hybrid. This merger is a stroke of genius.  It combines the 2 companies into a single unstoppable vertical monopoly.  It is also a seamless integration of AI & physical hardware. By putting rockets, satellites, EVs & Tesla bots under 1 roof, the synergy would be amazing. Elon Musk's combined stake of Tesla and SpaceX may result in h

$SS SPDR STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ I invest in STI ETF because it represents the best of Singapore blue chip companies.  From our local banks DBS, OCBC and UOB to telecoms giant like Singtel, I own a small piece of the very machinery that makes Singapore's economy thrive. Even when global macro jitters shake the market, STI ETF generates nice, steady dividends while I wait for capital growth. Go Long Go Strong Go STI ETF.🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @Tiger_SG   @Tigerstars @Tiger_comments

🌟🌟🌟 Singapore's Q3 2026 GDP grew by a surprising 5.4% year on year, easily beating the 5% that economists predicted.  But before you go ordering an extra plate of satay to celebrate, let's look at the speedometer: we have officially slowed down from the roaring 6.2% growth we enjoyed in Q2.  Think of our economy like a top of the line sports car.  We are still zooming down the ECP but we have shifted down a gear because the initial boost from the AI infrastructure wave is starting to normalise. The MAS pulled off a classic plot twist.  17 out of 20 institutional economists believed that MAS would tighten the monetary policy on Wednesday 14 October by steepening the SGD NEER slope.  Instead MAS kept the monetary policy unchanged, hitting the pause button after 2 rou

🌟🌟🌟Do you ride the $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ momentum or wait for the signals?  The smart play right now is cautious retention of your core position if you are invested in NVIDIA.  2 definitive macroeconomic tests will dictate where the chip sector moves next: The $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$ has just reported its Q3 26 earnings.  The results were a big relief for the AI trade.  While Q3 net sales narrowly missed its target at Euro 11.7 billion, ASML raised its full annual sales forecast for a 3rd consecutive time to between Euro 44 billion & Euro 45 billion. The final hurdle is the impending CPI inflation print.  A hotter than expected inflation reading may crush the equity valuations. To

🌟Will $Microsoft(MSFT)$ latest move to cut Azure costs by 20% unleash profits or confirm AI bubble?  There are 2 sides of the coin: The Bull Case: The Efficiency Unleased Play Azure is shifting focus toward infrastructure economics.  By deploying internal custom chips like the new Maia 300 next year, Microsoft is trying to break free from NVIDIA's margin crushing monopoly.  By cutting back 20% of its costs, it allows Microsoft to use the money saved on this new transition.  When these huge hardware investments finally begin to scale & monetise through enterprise Copilot, it will unleash a tidal wave of pure operating profit. The Bear Case: The ROI Nightmare The truth could be that the return on AI investment fail to matc
