Tariff Relief: What’s Next for Apple & Nvidia? The recent U.S. tariff exemptions have provided much-needed breathing room for global tech giants — but this is not the end of the story, just a reset. Market Recap: • Apple dropped ~20% after the April 2 tariff announcement but recovered to $198.15, still 11.5% below pre-tariff levels. • Nvidia fell ~14.6%, then fully rebounded to $110.93 — back above its April 2 level. Why the difference? • Apple is still deeply tied to China’s manufacturing ecosystem. Even with exemptions, the underlying exposure hasn’t changed. Diversification is underway, but it’s a long road. • Nvidia, meanwhile, benefits from global AI demand, and its core components received tariff exemptions. Clearance to sell AI chips to China further strengthens its position. Lo
Understanding Risk Tolerance in Stock Investing Risk tolerance is how much uncertainty or potential loss you’re comfortable with when investing in stocks. It’s a personal gauge of your ability and willingness to handle the ups and downs of the market—think of it as your stomach for the rollercoaster ride of stocks like PLTR at $74.01 (April 6, 2025). Knowing your risk tolerance shapes what you buy, how you diversify, and whether you sleep at night. Let’s break it down. What Is Risk Tolerance? Risk tolerance reflects two things: Ability: Your financial situation—how much you can afford to lose without derailing your goals (e.g., retirement, buying a house). Willingness: Your emotional comfort with market swings—can you shrug off a 13% PLTR drop (like April 4, 2025) or does it keep you up? I
Ive gone from a dollar cost averaging investor to a dollar cost averaging options trader. Currently my portfolio has halved in value and if there isn't a face melting rip it will stay that way. I'm not leveraged so I've not been liquidity until I sell at a loss. It's not all rainbows and lollipops but sometimes you've got to risk it for the biscuit! Something i will say is that there is so much money on the sidelines and/or in put options that when the narrative changes and that money makes it's way back into the market it will be a face melting rip that sets a new historical record

Weaker Dollar & 145% Tariffs: Double Trouble for US Consumers
Former US Secretary of State Blinken commented on the tariff policy: The world will no longer trust the United States, which is not good for us.A weakening US dollar and 145% tariffs will be a double whammy for US consumers.Why is the $USD Index(USDindex.FOREX)$ 's downward trend so important for $Gold - main 2506(GCmain)$ investors? Because of its inverse correlation with gold price Indeed, when the world's reserve currency is doing poorly, gold plays its role as store of value Below: $DXY VS M2-adjusted gold (inverted scale) @ValueSeeker_The DXY is currently revering towards its Purchasing Power Parity, after years of overvaluation.@ValueSeeker_The DXY is now breaking its multi-year suport
$TQQQ 20250516 80.0 CALL$ Bought the wrong call by accident when it was at a low price , I believe the stock market will rebound and this share price will go up . Highly risky move with a slight downside . The question is how long will the trade war lasts
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole tariff war thing, but if I had to take away one thing from this wild ride, it's the importance of diversification. I took a closer look at my portfolio and realized it's super heavy on US tech stocks. I have a small position in KWEB (Chinese tech, I think?) and YINN to balance it out, but I knew I needed to spread my bets even more. So, on Liberation Day (whatever that means), I decided to take a chance and buy the dip by opening a position in $Vanguard Total International Stock ETF(VXUS)$ . From what I understand, VXUS is a basket of great global companies, but specifically excludes US, which I think is a smart way to diversify.
Cashed in on some profits from my $Wal-Mart(WMT)$ position. Specifically, sold half of my shares the day after Liberation Day, driven by concerns about the potential impact of Trump's tariffs on the company's bottom line. Given Walmart's significant sourcing from China, I anticipated that the tariffs would hit them hard, so I decided to lock in some gains and reduce my exposure. And you know what? I feel liberated - like I've taken control of my trades and made a smart decision.
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ My faith in AI related stocks (I have Nvidia too) is kind of pay off I think...bought these during the first round of crashbut it crashed lower subsequently haha....latest news of semiconductors and computers related stuffs are exempted from tariffs, this is a great great news. I believe we will see a gap up for both AMD and Nvidia on Monday :) .... have faith.
$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ took a beating in the recent upheaval of the global markets due to the US tariffs. However I am keeping faith that the STI ETF will prevail and in the long term flourish and grow even stronger. The STI represents 30 of Singapore's best blue chips companies in just 1 powerful ETF. A good strategy is to dollar cost average into STI ETF and let the magic of compounding happen over time. Go Long Go Strong Go STI ETF! 😍😍😍🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @TigerClub @CaptainTiger @Tiger_SG @TigerStars
