What followed was pure spectacle, the stock surged 735% on its debut, peaked at a jaw-dropping 2,230% to $233 by Tuesday, then crashed 77% to close at $45 on 4 April. Was this a breakout or a blowout? Fuelled by retail fervour, billionaire backing, and meme-stock mechanics, $NMAX’s journey is a masterclass in volatility. Beneath the chaos lies a critical question,
Now Is a Rare Opportunity for Everyday People to Build Wealth: Seize the “Golden Dip” in the U.S. Stock Market
Over the past two days (as of April 4, 2025), the U.S. stock market has taken a brutal hit. The S&P 500 dropped 3.58%, while the Nasdaq plummeted nearly 6%, with a cumulative decline of 21%, officially entering a technical bear market (a drop of over 20%). Tech giants like Apple saw a staggering 10% single-day decline, with other heavyweights like NVIDIA and Tesla falling 7.36% and 10.42%, respectively. Panic has gripped the market, with the VIX (a measure of market volatility) hitting a 100% IV percentile, signaling peak fear. Investors are selling off in droves, and capital is fleeing the market. But as Warren Buffett famously said, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” For everyday people, this market crash could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to b

Why certain tech stocks are getting crushed even ones that aren’t directly impacted by tariffs
I’ve seen a lot of people asking why certain tech stocks are getting crushed—even ones that aren’t directly impacted by tariffs.Here’s the simple explanation:It’s not just about tariffs. It’s about recession fears.Tariffs might not hit every company directly, but the worry is that they’ll trigger a global slowdown, which could bleed into a U.S. GDP slowdown—and ultimately, a recession.And in a recession? Very little companies do well.Earnings drop. Spending slows. Valuations compress.So even if a tech company has nothing to do with tariffs, the broader fear is macroeconomic.I’m not here to debate whether we’re headed for a recession or not—but if you’re wondering why your favorite growth names are down, now you know.Open a CBA today and enjoy access to a trading limit of up to SGD 20,000 w

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ : Island candle below the Bollinger band and RSI below 30; extremely oversold. Those three elements are the perfect formula for a sustained bounce. However, I don't like the shape of the bands, so a short lived bounce is more likely than a bottom.Perhaps a gap down is better than a weak bounce. In any case, when candles break above the Bollinger band with a gap, the odds for a gap fill are very likely within the next month, there is no reason to see something different on the bear side, even more after falling more than 20% in such a short period of time. $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$$NASDAQ 100(NDX)$ ImageOpen a CBA today and enjoy access to

SPY - A bounce is expected by many, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens
The S&P 500 $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ is down 17% in five weeks—with nearly 12% of that in just the last two.A bounce is expected by many, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens.I originally expected a move down to $500–$480, but over the course of months—similar to 2022. Once structure broke, I was watching for a retest of the weekly bias zone around $580–$590 before looking for short setups.But the market dropped so fast that it blew right through it.Now we’re sitting inside the monthly market bias, where there’s historically an 80% chance of a bounce. The last time we traded below this level for any extended time was during 2008. Even in COVID, 2018, and 2022—we bounced here.Could we still fall another 6% to $480?Sure. But I think
All these companies will now be in big trouble if the FEDS don't cut rates soon
In 3 months, US government has to refinance $4 trillion or pay $10 billion in interest payments. And President Trump knows we don't have money to pay this at all.This is why the FEDS must lower interest rates – and what it means for YOU:Over the next 2 years, the U.S. government has to refinance nearly $10 TRILLION in debt.That’s like refinancing a MASSIVE mortgage – and the new "interest rate" is way higher than the old one.In 2025 alone:$6.2 trillion in debt comes due. It gets rolled over (refinanced), not paid off.Higher interest = higher paymentsWhy it matters to YOU:If rates stay high (like now at ~5.25%). The government pays hundreds of billions more just in interest That extra cost doesn’t come from thin air. It leads to higher taxes, cut social benefits, or more inflation down the

Historical Context For Stock Investors Trump Recession Day
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ Hey everyone, Today I'm going to talk about Trump's Recession Day tariffs and some of the broader policies we're seeing from the administration—and more importantly, what all of this could mean for investors right now. Normally, I focuses on individual stock analysis—probably 80–90% of the time—but I’ve had a lot of requests to share my macro views, so this is my attempt at that. I'm aiming to do something like this maybe once a week, depending on how it goes. Since we’ve got this big “Recession Day” event coming up on, April 2, 2025, I thought now would be a good time to frame how I’m looking at all of this from an investor perspective—especially in historical context
Cramer’s Crash Call: Why Investors Should Look Beyond the Headlines
Opinion: Cramer’s 22% S&P 500 Crash Prediction Is Unlikely—Here’s Why Investors Should Think for Themselves Jim Cramer’s dire warning on Mad Money on April 5, 2025, predicting a 22% single-day plunge in the S&P 500 (SPX) on Monday, April 7, has sent shockwaves through the financial world. Citing the spectre of the 1987 Black Monday crash, Cramer points to the recent tariff announcement from President Trump and the market’s two-day slide of 10.4% as harbingers of doom. While his flair for drama grabs attention, a closer look at today’s market mechanisms, the improbability of his exact scenario, and the complexities of global trade retaliation suggests investors should approach such predictions with scepticism—not blind faith. The intent here is clear: understanding the market’s nuan
Trade War Begins? Will the Market Drop 30% Before Bouncing Back?
$S&P 500(.SPX)$$NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ A new trade war is brewing, and it’s global. As of April 5, 2025, markets are buzzing with uncertainty as China prepares to slap a 34% tariff on all U.S. goods starting April 10 at 12:01 p.m. The U.S. has fired back, rolling out tariffs on a slew of countries—some as high as 46%. Investors are asking: Could this trigger a 30% market drop like we saw in 2018, followed by a rebound? Or worse, could tariffs spark a recession? Let’s break it down with data, history, and what’s at stake. The 2025 Tariff Showdown: Who’s Paying the Price? This isn’t just a U.S.-China rematch—it’s a multi-front trade war.
