      S&P 500 at a Turning Point: Double Bottom or Drop to 5000?

      @yourcelesttyy
      $S&P 500(. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ )$ $NASDAQ(. $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ )$ $Dow Jones Industrial Average(. $Dow Jones(.DJI)$ )$ As of April 16, 2025, the S&P 500 faces a critical juncture. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has dashed hopes of a market bailout, stating, “Our focus is on inflation, not equity prices.” Meanwhile, Citi equity strategists, led by Beata Manthey, have downgraded the U.S. stock market from Overweight to Neutral, pointing to fading U.S. exceptionalism amid challenges like Deepseek, Europe’s fiscal stance, and rising trade tensions. With the index hovering near key support levels, is a double bottom forming, or are we headed for 5000—or low

      It is a trick multiple choice... @Tiger_Earnings The choice of a sharp drop is below -5%, which is lower than red!? Anyway, I decide that I will be wrong with my target end price anyway even if I get the earnings expectation right... I have always proven wrong so far for all prediction quiz conducted by 🐯 [Facepalm] [Spurting] I have picked RED, so if you pick anything else, you stand a chance [Tongue] TSMC did well with its results. I would expect Netflix to do well too, however market closing price is a different matter altogether. Just look at Tesla, bad result but a rumour that Elon Musk is leaving DOGE sent its closing price up by a lot!? These days, price fluctuations are the norm. Results are not the only determinant.

      Tariff war? What now? Rare earth maybe the key

      Hate him, love him... Donald Trump is by far the most entertaining President in my living memory.Did the tariff war really start? Or did it end before it can takeoff in full flight?Now, I'm confused... True, stock markets all around the 🌎 crashed. It appears that US and China are the only countries in this world then (apart from Canada and Mexico of course since they have a headstart). Remember, Donald Trump mentioned there's no exemption? Those words simply spiralled out of control... Exemption here... Wait a minute, exemption for that too. Perhaps...Tariff war has really started... Before Donald Trump and US are ready for it! Strange if you ask me. China has prepared for years for Donald Trump's homecoming, given the prior experience in his first term. Why would Donald Trump be conf

      A Few Good Men (Women) 😜

      Gold, silver and their respective mining bigwigs, shorts in Nasdaq and tech index or big tech like Nvidia or Tesla, VIX, rare earth miners. What do we get? Yup, as the title suggested, a few good men (or women)! They are the winners in the latest tariff war, between Donald Trump and the rest of the world. People might be tempted to lump Trump with US, since he's the current American President. US is made up of hundreds of millions of people. Too bad those who had voted did what they chose to do, the rest just suffered along... Is this the so-called famous liberation (yup, punt intended). Freedom of speech, freedom to choose or not choose, freedom to ruin US and freedom to send USD down the drain... That's freedom... Social, economical, mental. Out of the list above, gold is on the tear...

      $Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bear 3x Shares(SOXS)$  Trust Donald Trump? Nah... not me... if you think a temporary pause will do and an exemption of tech goods will do Nasdaq and semiconductors good, think again. You might not want to trust him enough to take the risk. Do you know how Donald Trump behaves? We have all seen it all, those egoistic small time bullies. Using their parents' influence to throw their weights around. Yes, those with lots of cheerleading lackeys, running off at the first sign of trouble. Do I trust them? Make a guess... why should I? And why should anyone of you? You might not like the China Chinese way. I admit they have their own way with dealing with issues, but come on, in the face

      There's still a lot of uncertainty going forward... I will be observing 2 more sessions before casting my votes, given things are still very much fluid, more twists and turns are expected any day. Given that Nasdaq is still very much in its downtrend, I am not expecting much of a grand recovery performance from it. Although Donald Trump seemingly looms large in terms of market performance, ignoring him and focusing on the big picture is the way to go. He might be able to influence short term movement with his occasional 'messaging', he is as vulnerable as any of us in 'calling' the shots. Although the temporary suspension of tariffs here and there would do the market good, fundamentals still don't change. In fact, US is now weaker than when Donald Trump started his 'war cry'... or should I

      Well written! Yup, no turning back… when leaders act solely on face-saving actions rather than for the good of the nation, only its people suffer… leaders still get rewarded, for their nonsense. That’s today’s world! Elect Donald Trump, you could still argue its ignorance; elect him a second term, that’s stupidity in full display… [Facepalm][Spurting]

      $S&P 500(.SPX)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Bessent Tries to Justify Trade War—and It Sounds Insane Alright guys, we’ve officially entered the Twilight Zone. I honestly can’t wrap my head around how one of the sharpest minds on Wall Street keeps sounding more unhinged every time he speaks. I’m talking about none other than Scott Bessent—now the U.S. Treasury Secretary—who’s been on a full-blown media tour defending Trump’s trade war with China. The U.S. is about to hit Chinese goods with a massive 104% tariff, and somehow, Bessent is painting this as a strategic win. He claims China made a huge mistake escalating things, that they’re “playing with a pair of twos,” and that President Trump has “maximum negotiatin

      Be careful what you wish for!

      Have you ever wished to buy a super growing company like Nvidia before the price runs up? Maybe Palantir?  Have you ever wished for a pro-biz US President? Have you ever wished that when you run out of money 💰, you can simply take from others without being punished? They are here, all here! Yes, all at once... In our face! 😁😭 Don't you feel it? Now that they are all here, are you overjoyed? You are supposed to feel that, or so Donald Trump thought so... When the stock market crash occurs, have you then thought of a saviour (some sorts, any sorts in fact) to push them back up?  Ahhhhhh... Nice! It's also here! What have you been doing all these times? From crash to rebound?  Did you scoop in when the crash arrived? 🤔 Or were you so badly wounded with your blood all around the

      Safe haven from Tariffs war - Gold vs Silver

      It's perhaps not the hottest topic right now, however I had wanted to write ✍️ this topic for some time. I just couldn't find an appropriate time to illustrate my point, until now... Precious metals group: gold, silver comes immediately to mind. Of course, there are also platinum and palladium, rhodium, iridium, etc. Among these, gold, silver, platinum and palladium are readily tradable, with gold and silver being the most popular. Many people lump gold and silver together. However in reality, they can't be more different. Let me explain. Firstly, I will not visit them based on their chemical or physical properties. Both gold and silver are used as an inflation hedge and a store of value. They are the old time favourite of retailers and institutional buyers alike since they

      On a separate note, Singapore does have a role to play against the big bully, Donald Trump. While it may be true that Singapore is too small to stand alone and free trade is the lifeblood of Singapore's economy, giving in to bully, they will come back for more! It's not easy, but if Singapore can do what it does best to provide a platform for negotiation and cooperation between East and West (excludes US), Singapore will only grow stronger (together) with like-minded economies. There's also an opportunity to create alternate combined trading currencies backed by gold to gradually replace USD. How about this for a food for thought? [Happy] @Daily_Discussion @

      Retaliatory tariffs... The question is not if Singapore is smart not to impose a retaliatory tariff. It's about if Singapore is able to retaliate economically against US. We have to understand the context here. Singapore is a small island nation with no natural resources. What it lacks it made up for through sheer hard work from its people to arrive at today's prosperity. Singapore economy strives in an open economy environment. Therefore, Singapore had benefited greatly from a free trading world 🌍. With the second coming of Donald Trump brings chaos and a new dawn to the world of economic. The words, "protectionism" and "closed economy" seems to loom large in this new term. Much worse than his first. It appears he has already warmed up and ready to show his true colours.
