    🌟🌟🌟2024 has been an amazing year for me with the STI ETF hitting a 17 year high and the US markets led by the Magnificent 7 hitting new records too.  My Singapore Bank stocks also hit new highs this year with $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$  leading the charge and reaching SGD 44.95.  DBS is also my best performing Singapore stock. 

    However Jerome Powell threw a wrench into the markets  on Thursday indicating that there will be fewer interest rate cuts in 2025, sending the markets into a nosedive. 

    Nevertheless I will continue to stay invested and go bargain hunting for quality stocks on sale.    I like the recently listed 5 new Hong Kong SDRs especially since Tiger Brokers currently have zero commission till the end of December. 

    2024 has been a memorable year for me and as 2025 beckons, I invest with optimism and belief that investing in the stock markets will reap great rewards in the long term.  

    I would like to wish all my Dear Tiger Friends and the hardworking staff at Tiger Brokers A  Joyous Christmas and a Fabulous New Year. 

    @TigerEvents  @Tiger_SG  @Daily_Discussion  @TigerStars  @Tiger_comments  @MillionaireTiger  @CaptainTiger A Big Thank You for making the Tiger Community such a vibrant success. 😍😍😍🎄🎄🎄🤶🤶🤶

    In my investment journey, I've been continuing to DCA into my ETFs especially into $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ (apart from a few others) which I came across in a @koolgal 's article quite awhile ago. No crazy win yet but overall it's still pretty green so all's well. Pretty thankful [Salute] for that else I'd never be able to invest into the S&P 500 due to those high entry costs of SPY and VOO.

    On a self-improvement journey wise, sad to say I did not finish any new book due to my busy schedule and tonnes of lousy excuses [LOL] but I did manage to re-read the Atomic Habit once again due to my need to do a presentation at work which allows any topic so I chose to do a book summary sharing session. In that sense, I had the opportunity to do a revision and did a review on my habits, both good and bad.

    Overall, it's a moderate year for me, could be much better if not due to my own lack of discipline and weakness for distractions. Onwards and upwards for 2025 everyone!!!

    One special event for me would be my decision to start a TikTok account haha
    I started to do live and is happy that it is starting to earn some income from it..
    It was just to tryout to see if it is true that one can earn from it, I was sceptical at first but nevertheless I gave it a try n it turn out that it is true!!!
    u am happy that I did it haha.
    Not actually to earn an income from it but to see if it actually works...
    And it did!!
    So I repost videos n make some, although I did not actively do live, it can earn u a good income if you actually do more n also actively participate in their events.
    So guys try it out...
    Cheers and wishing everyone one here a very Merry Christmas n a great Year ahead!!

    This year, I read 14 books, including The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown, which encouraged me to embrace my flaws and be more authentic. I also learned to play the guitar, taking weekly lessons that helped me progress from beginner to intermediate.


    A life lesson that stood out was learning how to prioritize my well-being. I realized that taking care of my mental health is just as important as working toward career goals. I celebrated a big milestone by getting promoted to Senior Analyst, and I also achieved my financial goal of saving for a down payment on a house. Personally, I made significant strides in my relationship by being more open and present. @luv2trade

    Over the past year, I read 20 books, including Deep Work by Cal Newport and The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. Deep Work taught me how to focus better, while The Happiness Project inspired me to make small changes for a happier life. I also picked up new skills, such as learning Excel through an online course, which has helped me streamline tasks at work.


    One of the most important life lessons I learned was the significance of setting boundaries. I’ve become more intentional about balancing work and personal life, which has made me less stressed and more productive. Professionally, I achieved a milestone by leading a successful team project, and financially, I managed to save enough to build a solid emergency fund @Frisbee

    In the past year, I read around 25 books, including Grit by Angela Duckworth, which inspired me to push through challenges with perseverance. I also focused on improving my writing skills by taking a creative writing class, helping me become more disciplined and structured in my work.


    A key lesson was realizing the importance of patience. I used to rush results, but I’ve learned that true growth often takes time. I also made it a point to cultivate gratitude each day. On the milestone front, I received a promotion to Director of Marketing, which was a significant achievement in my career. Financially, I set up an emergency fund and reached my savings target, which felt incredibly rewarding. @onlyYou

    2024 has been a year of growth for me. Through my investment experiences, I’ve learned that investing requires patience and perseverance, not just skills. Market fluctuations made me anxious, but I’ve learned to stay calm. In the past, I often made impulsive decisions due to short-term swings, but this year, I realized that a long-term perspective is key to success.

    I also learned the importance of emotional management. Investing isn’t just about numbers; it’s about controlling emotions. Market volatility and outside opinions can affect my reactions. Staying calm and making rational decisions has been crucial to my progress. When I feel anxious, I remind myself to analyze situations carefully and avoid emotional decisions.

    These lessons have helped me succeed in investing and improve my emotional management and decision-making skills. I believe they will make me more confident in both investing and life.

    The year was a mixed year. In personal front was a bad year due to the loss of some persons . On financial front the stocks did well. Options front I am still trying to cover accumulated losses. But strategies are getting clearer and better. So I am confident that with time this can be turned over.

    I bought my first home this year. Although it's an old apartment unit, the purchasing process took almost a year, and the renovations have been quite a headache, it's still a achievement for me.

    As this comes to an end, some would look back to their resolution to strike off while others would craft out new resolution for 2025...
    for me, I've loss a very close relative due to cirrhosis... a permanent scarring on liver that is irreversible.
    This have made a mark on my life, I have vow that I will not let that happened to me nor to my family members.
    With a lifestyle change and dietary that seems difficult to maintain, we are still maintaining after 7 months and hopefully this will persist until the end of my day's.
    As we age, health seems to be the most important factors... live well, live healthy and live happy.
    For what ever we do, without it we won't be enjoying anything that we had.

    This is not a post related directly to my stock positions but what made this year special for me was my divorce!!🥳🥳 it was sucking up all my funds over the last two years so much so I had to liquidate everything earlier in the year. My divorce allowed me to reinvest what I had to liquidate and then some. I have made roughly a 27% increase in my portfolio since Aug 4th mainly lead by bitcoin through MicroStrategy MSTR. Although the world enconomies have struggled this year, it has been surprising that the stock market has not been worse. Hopefully if everything picks back up over the course of the next 6 months this time next year I will also be celebrating buying a house since I got screwed out of mine in the divorce. My fingers are crossed 🤞 Happy end of 2024 everyone!! And all the best for 2025!!! Let’s make it a cracker!!🎉🥳🎉

    Investing in shares requires a rational approach, where focusing on the fundamentals of the business rather than reacting emotionally to market fluctuations is key. It is always easy to say than done but I did it quite well I think. Bravo to myself. Be not fear or greed.

    Financial stability isn’t just about accumulating wealth, but about managing it wisely, prioritizing what truly matters, and living within my means. Staying true to myself means not being swayed by external pressures or the expectations of others, and making decisions that reflect my own values and long-term vision for life and finances.

    Was a sucky year for my family and I. FAMILY FELL SICK WAY TOOOOO MANY TIMES. Too many episodes of high fevers, coughing nonsense and hospitalisation. Really tiring and draining. Didn't have much time to trade and think through my trades as well as before.
