$ALB.HK 20250828 105.00 CALL$ Taking a shot at some upcoming good news. Alibaba strong earnings and Ant Group potential stablecpin projects in the pipeline.
$AMZN DIAGONAL 250703/250718 CALL 220.0/CALL 225.0$ AMZN: trade risk management. AMZN had a bullish week and rise along side the market that's making all time highs. At present, the existing covered call with strike of $220 will expire in the money on 3rd July. Not ready to let go of my long position, so decided to roll out the sold call further by 2 weeks to 18th July and with higher strike of $225 which is just slightly above the last close of $223.41. Still be able to collect a small credit for the roll out trade so I'm glad that I was able to take an initial loss on this trade in exchange for another chance for profitable trade down the road.
$ACHR 20250725 9.0 PUT$ Sold a new put on ACHR as it dips closer to $10. Strike selected is $9 and expire in 25 Jul. ACHR seems to be ranging and on the low end of the range. Think the risk to reward is worth the trade for now. Margins remaining are tight so keep trade positions small.
I really appreciate the SG60 Neighborhood Vouchers — it’s a meaningful way to celebrate Singapore’s 60th anniversary by giving back to citizens. If I received them, I’d use the neighborhood portion at local hawker stalls and shops, and the supermarket portion for daily essentials. It’s practical, and a great way to support heartland businesses while easing living costs. I also like the postcards by local artists — they add a nice personal and cultural touch. Beyond that, I admire Singapore’s support for public healthcare and education, which shows long-term care for citizens. These policies may not be flashy, but they truly make a difference in people’s lives. Compared to China’s home appliance subsidies, I find Singapore’s system more flexible and convenient. There’s no need to buy speci

Why Alphabet’s Long-Term Patience With Waymo Could Pay Off Handsomely By 2040
$Alphabet(GOOGL)$'s patience with Waymo is indeed a long-term strategic play that analysts predict will yield significant returns by 2040. Alphabet's sustained investment in Waymo is a bet on a transformative technology with a massive addressable market. While the path to profitability has been lengthy and expensive, Waymo's technological leadership, safety-first approach, and expanding operational footprint position it to be a dominant player in the autonomous vehicle industry by 2040, ultimately yielding substantial returns for Alphabet and its shareholders. In this article I would be sharing and exploring the breakdown of why this patience is likely to pay off even though the market is not pricing it in today. Waymo: From “Other Bet” to $500B+

Will Trump and Bessent online verbal abuse pressure US central bank to buckle and cut interest rate in July FOMC when the team convenes on July 29-30 ? For starters, the current administration is already planning to board a shadow Fed chairman who does not have executive power (yet), a white elephant, wasting tax payers’ monies, instead of cutting expenses to slow down US national debt accumulation. If the decision is based on facts, then it should be a resounding “No”. The jobs reports out this week points to that clearly. ADP non farm payroll. US private sector non-farm payroll report for June 2025 was published on Wed, 02 Jul 2025. Key takeaways: Report showed US private sector lost 33,000 jobs, marking the 1st monthly decline in over 2 years, sharply missing expectations for job growth
2025 US Stock Market Review: Hidden Risks Behind Record Highs
In the first half of 2025, the US stock market displayed dramatic swings, initially declining and then sharply rebounding to complete a 'Deep V' reversal. By the close on June 30, the S&P 500 Index had risen more than 28% from its intraday low on April 7, while the Nasdaq climbed over 37% from its low, both reaching record highs.Looking back at this year's performance, the market rallied early on, fueled by the AI boom and optimistic economic expectations. However, the so-called 'DeepSeek shock' and the impact of Trump’s tariff policies triggered a sharp sell-off, with the S&P 500 nearly touching bear market territory in early April. Subsequently, a softening in Trump’s tariff stance helped the market stabilize and sparked a robust rebound.Looking ahead, the US stock market still f
