🌟🌟🌟Markets move fast. Emotions move faster. So before investing, questions will help me to slow down to see if this is noise or clarity? That important pause could save me from chasing trends that do not align with my goals. Questions will help me to invest with intention and not reaction. Questions are like my internal compass. They help me to guide my portfolio and achieve my goal of FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early. The saying "Look before you leap" is the soul of wise investing. As Warren Buffett likes to say "Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing" Most importantly, Warren Buffett also said "Successful investing takes time, discipline and patience". That is my investing manifesto. @Tig
🌟🌟🌟October is shaping up to be a high stakes month. The September rally was fueled by improved earnings, resilient consumer data and growing anticipation of rate cuts. That is why many analysts including JPMorgan believe that October could continue the upside rather than reverse it. One of the main reasons is that rate cuts are no longer a distant hope. They are happening with 1 to 2 more cuts projected this year. Corporate outlook is also improving especially in industrial, financial and tech sectors. However the risks to watch are geopolitical escalation in the Middle East as well as inflation rearing its ugly head due to tariffs. Earnings disappointments in Q4 could also stall momentum. Nonetheless I invest with optimism and a long term horizon by dollar cost av
As an investor, I'm intrigued by Alibaba's $Alibaba(BABA)$ $Alibaba(09988)$ recent surge following Citi's decision to hike its price target to $217, especially with the optimistic forecast about a tenfold increase in data center capacity. The bank's raised assumptions for cloud revenue and capital expenditures reinforce my belief in Alibaba's potential, particularly in the cloud computing sector. I've been keeping an eye on this stock for a while, and this news makes me feel more confident about its long-term growth prospects. When it comes to the first question—will I follow Cathie Wood's trade?—I'm a bit hesitant. While I r
As someone keeping a close eye on the crypto market, I'm a bit concerned but not entirely surprised by ETH's recent 5% drop this week, especially with the daily trading volume plunging over 30% to $18 billion. Despite the strong fundamentals mentioned, the shift toward low-volume consolidation has me cautious. I've always believed in the long-term potential of Ethereum, but this downturn, coupled with the sluggish performance of crypto-related stocks like BMNR $BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc.(BMNR)$ and Coinbase $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ , makes me wonder how far this dip might go. Regarding how low ETH could fall, it's hard to predict with certainty, but I suspect it could
I thought I was being clever hunting for bargains. Saw a stock down 50% and told myself, “This is like buying Louis Vuitton at half-price!” I loaded up. Two weeks later, it was down another 40%. That’s when I realized I wasn’t buying luxury goods on sale; I was buying milk that was already expired.

🟡 Gold Hits $3,900! Is $4,200 Next or Just Fool’s Gold? Gold is on fire. After four straight sessions of gains, COMEX gold has smashed through $3,900/oz — its highest level in history. For context, just five years ago gold was under $1,500. That’s a 160% climb, fueled by global uncertainty, inflation shocks, and relentless safe-haven demand. Now, UBS has gone a step further: they see gold hitting $4,200 by mid-2026. Bold? Yes. Impossible? Not quite. So the big question: is gold just shining under panic headlines, or is this the start of a supercycle? --- 🌍 What’s Driving the Surge?

When will the government shutdown? What Iowans should know about Social Security and more. Cooper Worth Des Moines Register The U.S. government is less than 12 hours away from running out of funding, and the stakes of a government shutdown arehigher for federal workers because the White House is considering layoffs rather than temporary furloughs. The threat of a government shutdown has loomed over Washington for weeks as congressional Democrats have refused to budge on supporting a spending bill without a series of demands, mostly related to health care access and subsidies. Republicans are pushing a stopgap solution that would extend current funding levels until Nov. 21. When will the government shutdown? What Iowans should know about Social Security and more.
