To The Moon

The old world is fading fast. The investment strategies, historical patterns, and cautious wisdom that once ruled the markets are relics of a bygone era. We’ve crossed into a new age—defined by climate urgency, artificial intelligence, and the dawn of a multi-planetary future—and the turning point of human civilization is unfolding before our eyes. As of October 1, 2025, 9:37 PM NZDT, the S&P 500 has surged 13.25% year-to-date (YTD), defying the traditional “October crash” narrative, while leading stocks like NVIDIA (NVDA), Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), and Alibaba (BABA) continue to power ahead. The past offers no roadmap; the future demands bold action. These aren’t just companies—they’re the vanguards of a new era, and even at lofty valuations, their potential is limitless. A Paradigm

The landscape of investment has transformed dramatically, and NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) stands at the forefront of this seismic shift. As of 09:45 PM NZDT on October 1, 2025, NVIDIA has hit a fresh record high, closing at $185.9 intraday after four straight sessions of gains, driven by CEO Jensen Huang’s bold vision for AI’s future. This isn’t just a stock rally; it’s a signal of a new era where artificial intelligence redefines human progress. With the S&P 500 up 13.25% year-to-date (YTD), NVIDIA’s 85% YTD surge, alongside gains in its ecosystem, positions it for a $200 milestone—and beyond. The past is irrelevant; the future is bright, and NVIDIA is leading the charge. A New Paradigm: Breaking Free from Old Constraints Gone are the days when investors relied on historical patterns li

🚨🚨🚨The current market analysis for October 1, 2025, is heavily influenced by mixed agricultural signals and mounting political risk in the US. Key Market Summary US Political Uncertainty  * A potential US government shutdown is a major headwind, driving a risk-off sentiment among investors.    * This has led to an investor shift toward safer assets like gold and is weighing down futures markets, including agriculture.    * A shutdown also threatens to delay key economic data releases, including the October WASDE report, which could heighten market uncertainty. Global Equities  * Despite the short-term political risk, global equities had a strong performance in Q3 2025.    * US stocks hit records, with the S&P 500 having its best September since 2

As I look at the recent post about gold hitting $3,900 per ounce and the speculation of it reaching $4,200 by mid-2026, I find it interesting but not something that's keeping me up at night. The post mentions the surge is tied to a potential U.S. government shutdown, with UBS even throwing out that $4,200 target due to geopolitical and economic uncertainty. I get why some might see gold as a safe haven, especially with all the global tension, but I tend to take these predictions with a grain of salt. I'm not too worried about the government shutdown impacting the stock market in a major way. From what I've seen, these shutdowns usually have only a temporary effect—markets might dip or wobble for a bit, but they tend to recover once things stabilize. The idea of gold climbing for a fourth s

If I had S$18,900, I wouldn’t spend it on a single dinner, but I see why Ng did. A private meal with Tan Su Shan $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ isn’t about the food—it’s about influence, knowledge, and connections. For someone in finance, the value of that conversation could far outweigh the cost, just like Buffett’s charity lunches. Personally, I’d rather use that amount to grow my portfolio or fund a meaningful experience. S$18,900 could strengthen my investments, serve as a property down payment, or sponsor a long overseas trip. To me, compounding or lasting experiences bring more value than one extravagant night. Still, I admire the boldness of going straight to S$18,000. It shows how much people value access to leaders who shape industries

Why Tesla launched the MY Performance yesterday and why it was brilliant! 1) It was the last day eligible buyers could order and still qualify for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit (with delivery possible later, such as in December). 2) This timing was likely strategic to maximize last-minute demand pull-forward from the incentive, avoiding the "Osborne effect" where knowledge of an upcoming refresh hurts sales of current models during the prior months of tax credit FOMO. 3) [This is the key point!] By holding off until the final day, Tesla squeezed maximum sales from existing inventory under the credit, then introduced the upgraded variant to capture additional orders still eligible for the subsidy. This helped bolster Q3 results and positioned the higher-priced new model for post-credit s

I will not buy gold. Even if the expected price hits $4200, it is only another $200 but potential pullback is huge, so does not fit my risk appetite even if I am just speculating. Gold in itself does not have any growth potential and has been driven up by uncertainties. I agree that these questions apply to all trades; we need to know when to buy and when to sell. On top of that, we need to know whether we are trading or investing because that affects the horizon that we should have. However, there are times where thinking ahead doesn’t work. For example, during the great liberation day and when covid first broke out, these are great times to buy quicky rather than to over-analyse the trade. So, sometimes we do need to let the gut take over and the heart to pull the trigger to make the

Cash flow is considered a very important aspect of any company's financial stability. Positive and stable cash flow can be crucial to maintain financial health, while cash flow disruptions can lead to bankruptcy risk. Moreover, cash flow often has a significant impact on stock valuation.  To evaluate a company's cash level, it's important to consider focusing on five key areas which we'll explore in more detail below. 1. Cash flow from operating activities This section shows the cash inflows and outflows from the company's daily operations, such as sales income and cash paid to suppliers. Subtracting cash outflow from cash inflow, we can get the net cash flow from operating activities.  If the number is positive, it means the company's operating activities generate more cash than

According to J.P. Morgan's 2024 family office survey, the ultra-wealthy are dialing down equities (now 40% vs 50% before) and boosting exposure to alternatives like private equity, venture capital, and real estate. The message? Diversify, but with precision. 🔍 My Take: I keep ~35% in equities (mainly high-growth & AI-led names like $NVDA, $TSLA) 25% in real estate (steady cash flow + capital appreciation in SG) 20% in crypto & private ventures (high risk, high potential) 20% in fixed income and gold (for ballast) 💡 Why I Don't Copy the Wealthy 100%: Their risk appetite is different — they can afford long illiquidity windows. For retail traders, agility matters more. 🧠 Key Learning: It's not about copying the rich, but understanding why they move capital and adapting the strategy to

Absolute numbers and even YoY comparison should always be compared with the growth or decline of the total EV market. Tesla's market share in Europe is shrinking (to 1.2% now) and BYD has overtaken Tesla in Europe (1.3% market share). The markets in Europe see an increase in EV's last month which is larger than the increase of  Tesla. It's the same for the stock price, compare it against the S&P performance to get a real, fair evaluation!

Gold price have flown to new all-time highs now. The current gold surge is due to increased demand as a safe-haven asset amid global economic uncertainty, high inflation, the Federal Reserve’s independence and geopolitical risks. The price of gold relies on market sentiment and demand. When people are fearful of the economy, demand for gold rises and its price increases. But when people become less fearful, demand for gold falls, and its price decreases. Gold price is always volatile and difficult to gauge. Most investors would invest in gold ETF for example $iShares Gold Trust(IAU)$ or $SPDR Gold Shares(GLD)$ to play safe. Thanks @Tiger_comments

$SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ During this round of pullback, I've chosen to average up my SOFI position because I see the weakness as more of a healthy consolidation than a fundamental deterioration. The company continues to show strong user growth and an expanding product ecosystem, which reinforces my conviction in its long-term business model. Instead of reacting emotionally to short-term price swings, I view this dip as an opportunity to strengthen my stake in a company I believe has significant upside ahead. Another reason I'm comfortable averaging up is the improving macro backdrop for fintech firms. With interest rate cuts on the horizon and a gradual rebound in consumer spending, I expect lending activity and cross-selling of financi

$Lithium Americas Corp.(LAC)$  Ahhh... faith and auto-invest does the trick?! This is what I would classify as a TIP trade, Trump Influenced Play... oh yes, I have been cracking my 🧠 for an appropriate acronym, think this is a suitable one?! [Tongue]  [Chuckle]  [Evil]  Others that I could think of include SBT (Saved By Trump), TAP (Trump Always Pay), ATM (After Trump's Money). After all, if Trump is not at the helm, my payday would likely be delayed... I am of two minds. Obviously I am happy that$Lithium Americas Corp.(LAC)$  flies while lithium price is coming under pressure. Just look at the shares price performance of lithium giants such as

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
