H1 2025 has been a roller-coaster for me. I opened the year with a gain of around USD 75000 in unrealised profits. Then came Trump with his tariff bombs and saw the portfolio dip to a loss of USD 60000. Had to just grit & bear it and stick to conviction picks, keep the focus on and not panic & start restructuring the portfolio as and when required. Now I again see a gain of USD 65000. So, basically 2025 taught me a few lessons (1) stick to quality (2) don't panic and make decisions (3) on days when thr noise is maximum shut down the app & sleep (4) book profits regularly & reenter if required to save the gains. This point is something I am still to master. But life is all about learning and, God willing, I will learn doing this too.

Stocks vs. Options: When Holding Beats Leverage in the Long Game
The debate between holding stocks and trading options is a classic one, especially when assets like NVIDIA ( $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ) and Bitcoin (BTC) have delivered mind-blowing returns of up to 30,000% over the past decade.

Fed Powell speaks, Home Sales, PMI - Economic Calendar (21Jul25)
Public Holidays There are no public holidays in China, Singapore, America or Hong Kong. Economic Calendar (21Jul25) Economic Outlook (from Grok) Monetary Policy: Powell’s speech on Tuesday will be pivotal. His tone could range from neutral to hawkish if inflation concerns persist, impacting market sentiment. Housing Market: Existing Home Sales (4.0M forecast) and New Home Sales (650K forecast) suggest a mixed housing outlook. Stability in existing sales contrasts with a slight decline in new sales, indicating potential softening demand. Labor Market: Initial Jobless Claims at 221K previously suggested a robust labor market. Any increase could raise concerns about economic slowdown, while stability might support confidence.

Earnings Calendar (21Jul25) - What is Dow saying?
Earnings Calendar (21Jul25) I am interested in a few of the earnings like SAP, Tesla, Coca-Cola, GM, IBM, Dow Chemical and Intel. Recent performance of Dow Inc Let us look at Dow Inc, one of the leading chemical players. The stock price fell 43.5% from a year ago. Technical Analysis is showing a “Strong Sell” rating. The Analysts’ sentiment remains ‘Neutral”. With a price target of $34.18, there is an implication of a 20.82% upside for its price. Should we take a risk with Dow? Recent performance of Dow Dow has yet to reach the previous revenue peak of $56.9B in 2022 or the best operating profit of $7.887B in 2021 (14.3% operating margin %). Earnings per share (EPS) fell from the peak of $8.38 (2021) to the recent $1.57 (2024). The P/E ratio of 68.4 renders a “high” valuation of the busine

Be Careful What You Wish For
Yes, the GENIUS Act has been passed by US Congress, Senate and rubber stamped by the US President, Trump. The currency industry has been pressing for some sorts of US recognition and finally they got it. Just look how bitcoin had rallied. Is GENIUS Act really good for bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry in general? You should imagine so, judging by the recent rally of bitcoin, Ethereum and a couple of other cryptocurrencies. Do you know what it stands for? It is a short form for Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins. The Act signed into law by Trump on 18 July, 2025. It is meant to regulate digital currencies. Yup, you read it right, regulate… Regulation goes against the very principle of Bitcoin and its creation, which is to resist centralised control. Its fo

$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ is set to release its fiscal Q2 2025 earnings results on Wednesday, 23 July 2025, after the US market closes. The company will also hold its quarterly conference call at 1:30 PM Pacific Time (4:30 PM Eastern Time) on the same day.
