I definitely lean towards waiting for a rebound rather than strict stop losses because the stocks that I buy are fundamentally sound and I believe to have long term prospects such as being the current market leader. The other big thing that I buy are ETFs and there is no reason to stop loss on these. I think the major mistake that I make is my position size. I don’t always readjust in a timely manner eg my HK stocks for the last 4 years caused me to be in the red for those for a while. At least they are paying off now. As a conservative investor that is adverse to losses, I have been prudent in my choices and tend to stick to ETFs and market leaders. Thus far, they have paid off well as I dollar cost average when the opportunity arises. I also swing trade with small positions where the

Crypto’s Twin Engines: Why Bitcoin and XRP Could Redefine Market Gravity
Bitcoin and XRP are converging on a moment that could redefine digital asset valuations. Two catalysts—institutional adoption and proven utility—are no longer speculative. They’re structural. As capital allocators embrace Bitcoin’s scarcity and regulators edge closer to granting XRP settlement-grade legitimacy, both assets could enter valuation phases that push them far beyond their current standings. Capital flows converge: Bitcoin and XRP redefine financial gravity Bitcoin: The grown-up in the room With a market capitalisation of $2.277 trillion and a price of $115,645, Bitcoin has graduated from outsider status to global macro asset. Its dominance of nearly 57 per cent underscores its reserve-currency role in digital markets. Over the past year alone, Bitcoin has added almost $1 trillio

Trading Like Minecraft: Why Digging Straight Down Blows Up Accounts
If you've played Minecraft, you know the golden rule: never dig straight down. Sure, you might hit diamonds... but more often you’ll land in lava or a pit of mobs. Trading works the same way. Many traders see a shiny setup and dive in headfirst without thinking. That's the equivalent of digging straight down. It feels fast, exciting, and maybe you even hit profits at first. But without a plan, those gains can vanish just as quickly. Smart Minecraft players know survival depends on building with structure: They dig in steps, not straight down → in trading, that's scaling into positions. They carry torches → just like researching charts and fundamentals before entering. They pack a bucket of water → the trader's version is a stop-loss to prevent disaster. They create ladders → your exit plan
TOPLadders + stop-loss = my fortress! No reckless digging,trades need plans!

What do ROA and ROE tell you?
Picking stocks in the stock market is like picking items in a supermarket. Among various items, shoppers will see whether they get the best deals based on factors like brands, unit prices, and coupons. So how do investors know if they get a good deal or not in the stock market? In financial analysis, we can use two metrics to measure a company's fundamentals: return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). ROA is a profitability ratio calculated by dividing net income by a company's total assets. It measures how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate profits. In general, the higher the ROA ratio, the better, as it indicates that a company is making more profits from its assets. On the contrary, a low ROA means a company's management is not using its assets effectively. For ex

Navigating the 2025 US Government Shutdown: Impacts on Your Stock Portfolio
As of October 2, 2025, we're officially in the throes of the first US federal government shutdown in nearly seven years, which kicked off at midnight on October 1 due to a funding impasse between Republicans and Democrats. Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed, key programs are on ice, and the economic ripple effects are starting to show. But what does this mean for the stock market? Historically, shutdowns haven't been market-killers, but with this one hitting amid already shaky private-sector job data (ADP reported an unexpected decline last month), it's worth dissecting the potential winners, losers, and strategies to stay ahead. Market Reaction So Far: A Shrug and a Slight UptickMarkets aren't panicking yet. On the first trading day of the shutdown (October 1), the Do

Tesla Nears $500: Are Record Q3 Deliveries Enough to Sustain the Surge?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ Tesla has once again found itself in the spotlight. Shares surged 2.44% to $455.55, reclaiming a fresh high for the year and pushing its market capitalization back to $1.5 trillion. With the highly anticipated Q3 delivery report just around the corner, scheduled for release this Thursday, Wall Street is watching closely to see whether Tesla can beat estimates and extend its rally. This quarter’s report carries outsized weight because of a unique factor: a late-September buying frenzy in the U.S., triggered by the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit earlier this week. That rush has fueled expectations that Tesla could deliver its strongest quarter of the year, but many analysts warn that this demand surge is likely t

When will the US government shutdown end?
Although the U.S. government officially shut down on October 1, after Democrats and Republicans failed to agree on funding, the stock market showed little concern, posting solid gains on the first trading day of the month.Some investors wryly noted that “no data means no bad data.” The suspension of key economic releases such as jobs and CPI could temporarily remove negative catalysts from the market.Historically, government shutdowns have had limited market impact, typically lasting less than two weeks. While most investors remain unfazed, a few caution that if the Trump administration follows through on its threat to lay off large numbers of federal employees, or if the shutdown drags on longer than expected, the economic damage could escalate.Bank of America compiled historical data sho

Sept. Recap: AI-related and Rate-cut drove the monthly boom, breaking seasonal weakness
September just broke with the usual seasonal weakness and delivered an exceptionally strong monthly performance. The S&P 500 rose approximately 3.5% in September (the S&P 500 has fallen an average of 4.2% in September over the past five years), marking its fifth consecutive monthly gain and driving the third quarter's overall gain to 7.8%. AI and technology drove the Nasdaq's 5.6% surge in September, its sixth consecutive month of gains. A key sign of increased risk appetite was the small-cap Russell 2000 index reaching a new all-time high, its highest level since late 2021, indicating both strong momentum and increased market breadth.U.S. Stock Market Index Returns (September 2025)IndexSeptember ReturnQ3YTDDow Jones Industrial Average1.90%5.20%9.00%S&P 5003.50%7.80%13.80%Nasda
