$Quantumscape Corp.(QS)$ What a satisfying win today! An unrealized profit of $4,584.42, with a cost basis of just $4.47 and now trading at $6.00. A beautiful comeback! Holding long finally paid off — the power of the EV future is real. At this moment, I just want to say: I am the man you can't surpass!
Coinbase revealed that the company is seeking SEC approval to launch a “tokenized stock” service. Tokenized stocks are digital assets backed by equity in publicly traded companies. The concept is bold— Instead of holding traditional securities, investors own tokens that represent ownership of those securities. In theory, it's a bridge between traditional finance and the decentralized future. On paper, this sounds like a win for Coinbase. But here’s how I see it. Tokenized Stocks? Interesting, But I'm Not Jumping In While the innovation is promising, I’m not planning to invest in these tokenized stocks—at least not anytime soon. It’s a new frontier, and with any new asset class, the early stages come with extra volatility and potential pricing inefficiencies. I don’t chase hype or buy thing
The DCA (Delusional Confidence Accumulation?) Phase
Even smart people lose money in the market. Genius doesn’t always beat volatility. But me? I still want to be smart, just not the kind of “smart” that tries to outguess the market and ends up donating money to it. So… what investing phase am I currently in? Right now, I’m deep in what I like to call the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) phase or, if I’m feeling cheeky, the Delusional Confidence Accumulation phase. Every so often, I toss a bit more cash into my steady favorites like TLH (Treasury bond ETF) and PFE (Pfizer). It’s basically me telling the market, “You can’t scare me even if you try.” Pfizer (PFE) iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLH) Why I Keep Loving DCA Even When It Feels Like Market Madness? Smooths out the roller coaster: The market’s like a crazy roller coaster. DCA means
What Investment Playbook Have You Chosen for Yourself?
Recently, an investor said, “Investing isn’t about who makes the most money, it’s about who lasts the longest.” It reminds me of how people approach life differently. Some want to live long, while others want to live fully.Do you value longevity, or do you value intensity?It’s like asking whether you’d rather make fast, big money or earn slowly and steadily over time. Warren Buffett once said that investing is a marathon, not a sprint. But does everyone agree with that?Make fast money or make steady money?Deep down, I believe human nature leans toward wanting to make fast money and lots of it. Sure, it comes with risks. If you earn money beyond your level of understanding, you might lose it just as quickly.But why worry about something that hasn’t happened yet? Isn’t it more exciting to ju

The current market remains highly sensitive to developments in the Iran-Israel conflict, with prices fluctuating in response to changes in the situation.1. Can Oil Prices Continue to Surge?Oil prices are a leading indicator of inflation and play a pivotal role in shaping sentiment across the commodities market. As long as oil is not already at an exceptionally high level, a sharp increase in oil prices will inevitably raise concerns about rising production costs, which in turn are passed on to other commodities. At present, unless Iran completely abandons its nuclear ambitions, any easing of the conflict will be gradual, making oil prices more likely to rise than fall.A critical factor is Iran’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. Should Iran implement a blockade, it would deal a severe blo

Trump Signals Green Light for China's Iranian Oil Imports
Trump recently made a statement on social media suggesting that China can continue buying oil from Iran. On the surface, it appears he's easing sanctions, but in reality, it's more of a tacit acknowledgment of the current state of the market.
