I consider myself cautiously optimistic. I buy ETFs to reduce the volatility risk and yet with good chance of at least mirroring market returns. I agree that all investors have to be optimistic otherwise they would have taken profit or not put their money into the market at all. I expect a small correction in October as people take profit but also expecting a potential rate cut that would send the bull going. The bull is still young all because there is still Penney of room for rate cuts to happen this year and the next. I already have AAPL and recently bought UnitedHealth. Otherwise, I tend to have ETFs like SMH and VTI. I believe there is more room for rally in the HK and China markets so I have been buying the dips in the HK market like haidilao and popmart. I think I have beaten

Four Indicators to Look for When Evaluating Solvency
Maintaining a sound financial position is crucial for a company's growth. A company's solvency informs our investment decisions. It's better for investors to avoid companies struggling to pay off their debts as they may face the risk of bankruptcy due to disrupted capital flows. Generally, we use four indicators to measure a company's creditworthiness. 1. Debt-to-Asset Ratio The debt-to-asset ratio defines the proportion of a company's debt to its assets, reflecting its potential ability to meet its obligations. The formula for calculating this ratio is to divide total debts by total assets. Companies with heavy assets or poor cash flow often need to rely on debt to sustain operations, resulting in a higher debt-to-asset ratio. On the other hand, companies with lighter assets or better cas

Why I’m Careful About Buying the Dip But Still Open to the Right Opportunities
The first time I heard the phrase “buy the dip,” it sounded almost too easy. Stocks go down, you scoop them up, and then wait for the rebound. Simple, right? But reality has a way of humbling me. I’ve bought into dips before, only to watch prices keep sliding, like stepping onto what I thought was solid ground and realizing it was quicksand. That experience taught me one thing: not every dip is a bargain. These days, I approach the market with a lot more caution. The world feels messy— e.g., interest rates, inflation, global tensions—and the markets reflect that uncertainty. When I see red days on the charts, I don’t automatically see “opportunity.” Sometimes it’s a warning sign. Jumping in blindly feels a bit like trying to catch a falling knife: sure, I might grab the handle, but there’s

What Takes Your Options Trading to the Next Level?
When I first stumbled across the term options trading, it sounded like something only Wall Street veterans could handle. The words alone—calls, puts, strike prices, expirations—felt like secret codes in a language I didn’t speak. But curiosity got the better of me. So, I decided to take my first step. Like most beginners, I started by reading. Articles, tutorials, and videos piled up in my browser tabs. Some of it made sense, but a lot of it felt overwhelming. The Greeks, the strategies with exotic names like iron condors and butterflies—it was more than I could absorb at once. That’s when I placed my very first trade on Webull—a single option contract with a small amount I could afford to lose. Clicking “buy” felt like stepping into uncharted territory. I wasn’t expecting a big win—I just

This is why $TSLA is not for the faint of heart. Investing in this company takes extreme conviction. You have to know what you own, do your homework, and stay steady through the noise, bc most people can't handle it, panic, and sell along the way. These were one of toughest most recent moments: 1/ 2024/2025: A Trump fallout with Elon, combined with weak EV sales sent Tesla stock down -56% from highs. 2/ 2022/2023: Elon was forced into buying Twitter for $44B, funding it by selling Tesla stock, while shorts pile in ahead. The stock fell -75% from peak to bottom. 3/ 2020: Covid shut the world down, factories closed, and fear spread that no one would buy Teslas. The stock plunged -63%. Through all of that, real long-term investors stayed and took advantage. This is why I have massive respect
