Beyond a fair understanding of the blockchain tech, I never actually understood how crypto worked. I did invest a small bit and also made some money but I have to confess that it was due to sheer luck and also patience. So, I find the crypto market a maze. Having mare that disclaimer, I feel buying into crypto or even crypto shares at the present levels and value (which I am not sure of) is very risky. That it is extremely speculative is all I see. Of course, there is a lot of money to be made if one is smart. I would be comfortable only when Bitcoin goes well below SGD 100000. Till such time, I am OK to wait in the sidelines. The only position I might take would only be for amounts <$5000 in MSTR & MSTU and that too sourced from the gains I make else

📅 September Effect: Trap or Buy Point?
August ended without the deep correction many expected, but enthusiasm cooled after a choppy earnings season. Now all eyes turn to September — historically a volatile month for equities. 🔎 Macro Drivers to Watch Fed Rate Path: Powell's dovish tilt keeps September rate-cut odds high. If delivered, tech and growth should catch a bid. Seasonality: September is historically one of the weakest months, with volatility spikes around Fed meetings and CPI releases. Elections & Politics: Fed independence headlines and fiscal policy debates could create intraday swings. 📊 Market Outlook (Near-Term) S&P 500 (SPX ~6,460): Holding 6,350 support keeps trend intact. A Fed cut could push SPX toward 6,600; breakdown risks to 6,200. NASDAQ (IXIC ~21,455): Tech remains rate-sensitive. Reclaiming 21,80

When investing in crypto stocks, focus on 3 key drivers: 1️⃣ Crypto price trend – BTC and ETH set the tone; sustained strength above $110K and $4.5K is bullish for sector names. 2️⃣ Company-specific risks – e.g. BMNR’s 9/2 lock-up expiry could trigger short-term volatility as insiders unlock shares. 3️⃣ Regulation & flows – stablecoin legislation and ETF inflows/outflows heavily influence liquidity-sensitive names like COIN and CRCL. Short-term corrections are normal, but the long-term bull case depends on adoption, on-chain activity, and capital flows. Play volatility tactically, respect support levels. I’m not a financial advisor. Trade wisely, Comrades!

How We Can Trade Around A Potential Sep Rate Cut Which Might Trigger Major Trend Shift?
A potential September 2025 rate cut is more than just a monetary tweak—it is a strategic inflection point. Market expectations are high, with many analysts and investors already pricing in the move. The key for investors is to understand how different asset classes react and to position their portfolios accordingly. In this article, I would like to share some of the strategy I planned to use to capture this potential major trend shift. How to React to a Potential Rate Cut Understand the "Why": The most crucial question is why the Fed is cutting rates. Soft Landing: If the Fed cuts rates to "recalibrate" policy as inflation moderates and the economy remains resilient, this is generally a bullish sign for stocks. Hard Landing: If the Fed is cutting rates to combat an economic slowdown or rec

Green Bird in Trouble? Why Duolingo Shares Are Sliding
First, let’s address a common question. Historically, September is typically the worst-performing month of the year for stocks. So, there’s a lot of talk about selling stocks now and buying them back in October. Does this strategy work? Let me explain. I’ll share insights about a company that has recently experienced a puzzling drop in its stock price, likely reaching an undervalued stage. Which company is this? Could it be a good long-term investment? Last Friday, the stock market saw a significant pullback, with tech stocks, led by $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , experiencing sizable declines. This reminds us that September is often the worst month of the year for stocks. There’s a 56% probability that stocks will drop in September, so ma

Will You Follow Major Trend or Bet on an Underdog Comeback?
Markets are full of contrasts, and this past week highlighted it perfectly. On Wednesday, Meituan (03690) reported earnings that disappointed investors. Profits took a hit.
