How much should investors allocate to Gold

The optimal allocation to gold in an investment portfolio depends on an investor’s goals, risk tolerance, and market outlook. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but here are some general guidelines based on common investment strategies: Diversification and Risk Management: Many financial advisors suggest allocating 5-10% of a portfolio to gold as a hedge against inflation, currency depreciation, and geopolitical uncertainty. This range is often cited because it provides exposure to gold’s benefits without over-concentrating assets in a non-yielding investment. Conservative Investors: Those with a lower risk tolerance might lean toward the higher end (around 10%) to protect against economic downturns or market volatility, as gold tends to perform well when stocks falter.

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$  market is expected extremely volatile, with Trump's final decision on tariffs on the allies still unclear. The retaliation from China, the EU, Canada are all still under the water. Once anyone of them comes out, another market turmoil will happen. I'm foreseeing a script where all countries retaliate with full power as they already know what Trump did when they bowed to Trump in 2018 trade war, it's useless. If US wants a war, a war is what they will get.  Safe your bullets, this is a long fight (plus you'll never know how bad the job retrenchment will be, keep some money for your family first) - all the best

Day 8 of 30

What Is a Stock Split and How Does It Affect Investors? A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares by dividing existing ones into multiple pieces, like slicing a pizza into smaller portions. It’s a corporate move that adjusts the stock price and share count without changing the company’s overall value—or your stake in it. Stock splits are common among high-flying companies (think Apple or Tesla) and can stir excitement, but how do they really impact investors? Let’s break it down. What Is a Stock Split? In a stock split, a company multiplies its outstanding shares, lowering the price per share proportionally. The most common type is a forward split (e.g., 2-for-1), but there are also reverse splits (e.g., 1-for-10). Here’s how it works: Forward Split Example (2-for-

I think our G reaction has been very calculated. Instead of playing to Trumpet’s tune we should play our game. Get our own trade agreement with ASEAN is a good start. We are not big as China who dare to play with Trumpet’s tactic and see who blink first. It’s not going to be a quick solution on our horizon but we need to take the first step and show to Trumpet that we can survive without such ‘friend’ in this trade network

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  The reason why Tesla didnt get the boost it needed is because investors are still uncertain of where it will lead from now due to the tariffs, it is not about whether or not the impact will or will not affect Tesla directly or indirectly, but their counterparts in other countries like Europe, Chiba, India, etc. They are trying their very best to cope with their production capabilities and so on. And whilst President Trump is pressing more tariffs towards China, this will create more counter measures from China back to US. Remember what Elon Musk ask about the US-EU Zero Tariff topic recently? Because he knew his counterparts will also suffer the same impact as others so he made a quick move to hopefully reduce the pressu

I will start with one important statement, never over leverage. The market sentiment now is extreme fear. Nobody know what is next, especially when there is a lunatic at the throne, whose voice and opinion could drive the indices down further. That being said, DO NOT all-in for the puts. With $标普500波动率指数(VIX)$  at current level, which implies extreme volatility, puts are extremely expensive and may not yield expected returns. Another rumour or gossip, could drive the price the other direction and trigger margin calls.  Be prudent and cautious. Never all-in.

Here's 7 reasons why China wouldn't negotiate at all

China invented gunpowder and spaghetti. Most people think they will concede and make a deal with President Trump:But, this is a big mistake. 1. Tariffs Haven’t Worked BeforeTrump tried tariffs back in 2018-2019, and guess what? China didn’t fold. Instead, both sides ended up with economic pain, and the U.S. consumer paid more. China has already been through this and survived. They’re not scared to go through it again.2. They’re Less Dependent on the U.S. NowBack in 2018, China relied a lot more on selling stuff to America. But since then, they’ve diversified — building stronger trade ties with countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. That means they’re not as desperate to keep the U.S. happy like they used to be.3. Retaliation Tools Are ReadyChina has learned how to hit back. If Trump raises

ALHC, QQQ, TSLA & SMH - 4 different charts covering the daily price action YTD

4 different charts covering the daily price action YTD, each with two RS lines anchored to $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ — but one of them adjusted for ATR%. Which looks more accurate to you: the top or the bottom? Keen to know you opinion. Can't do a poll with image on tweet.I thought of this idea as well to increase the RS accuracy with incoporation of atr% of the security and the reference ($SPY for most case) in the RS line. eg. A 10% move in a 20% adr name should not actually have RS day if SPY is up 2% on 1% ADR. $Alignment Healthcare, Inc.(ALHC)$ $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$

It's a very exciting idea.now the consideration is which exhibits more strength in a security?1) to use formula based on intraday % move from open 2) or solely % move based on last closeboth of this formula will reflect vary RS line $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ImageIdentifying Relative Strength (RS) and Weakness (RW) against a benchmark like the $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ is crucial for traders, as it highlights institutional activity in an equity, which retail traders rarely achieve on their own.

Trade Setup Overview with MAGS, SPXL & AAPU

This was yesterday's full list of ticker I prepared with alert trigger (my timezone is 12 hours ahead). The main consideration was only based on <60% ATR from LoD because i want size, then I checked spread for potential slippage. That's the reason I went for $Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF(MAGS)$ $Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3X(SPXL)$ $Direxion Daily AAPL Bull 2X Shares(AAPU)$ (It was actually $ProShares UltraPro QQQ(TQQQ)$ but i didn't managed to get in at the price i want and it exploded to 130% ATR from LoD in less than 3mins, so i took a laggard AAPU as proxy to TQQQ move)If I were to revisit this, I should h
