These past few days, observing the market has felt like writing some kind of psychological thriller.Here's the current situation: After the first round of confrontation, the US side, knowing the market should fall this round, stopped publishing the kind of foolish, escalating pressure content from April and focused instead on absolving themselves. Then, the Wall Street Journal directly published an article stating that our side wants the US stock market to crash. Our side, also aware that the US wants to pin the blame for the stock market decline on us, has been very restrained in its remarks, sticking strictly to the facts. The US isn't escalating, so we aren't either.So, on the surface, almost everyone knows the stock market is headed for a crash—it's even been promoted in the newspapers
SG Banks Slips! What’s Your Time Span for Holding Banks?
Singapore’s three banking giants — $DBS(D05.SI)$ , $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ , and $UOB(U11.SI)$ — have all retreated recently, as investors brace for an expected Fed rate cut cycle. The question now is: where’s the focus when growth slows but dividends stay strong?DBS: The Dividend AnchorDBS just delivered another solid quarter — total revenue up 6% YoY to S$5.9B and net profit at S$2.9B, slightly lower due to global minimum tax adjustments.Still, the bank rewarded shareholders with a S$0.75 per-share dividend, up nearly 39% YoY, including a special S$0.15 capital return.At current levels (~S$54.8), that’s a ~5.5% yield — one of the highest in the region.Why Div
Trade War Safe Haven: The Ultimate SaaS Stocks Map Recent fluctuations in the Nasdaq reflect market concerns about the US-China trade war. Amid significant volatility in the semiconductor sector, the software sector has demonstrated relative resilience. As digital products do not require physical transportation, they are less sensitive to trade policies. Within the software industry, SaaS benefits from its stable subscription model, giving it an advantage. Why is the SaaS sector expected to be more resilient in the trade war? 1)SaaS companies' product development relies solely on domestic software developers and is not involved in the long supply chains of manufacturing, thus minimizing geopolitical risks in supply. 2)Moreover, the demand side for SaaS companies is predominantly domestic (
Can this bull run continue? This question Bemuses me. So I share two pics below, and will put my emotional investor perspective on it. First up, I started my investment journey on the stock market in 1987, at 17 years old. Fun fact, not a good year for the stock market or my initial foray investing in it. Back then, no cell phones, no internet, no pcs really. You had to buy a newspaper To keep track of stock prices. Brokerage fees started at around $100, so it was not a reality to buy $1 of stock, cause it would cost you $100. But I digress. Very different now. I have invested the the stock market on and off since 1987, and learned a great deal. Made more money in the property market and running my own businesses to be fair, and then lost it all due to circumstances beyond my control

I'm intrigued by the gold market's performance this year, with a 60% rise in 2025 marking its best year since 1979. It's impressive to see it outpacing many tech stocks, and Jamie Dimon's comments from JPMorgan certainly caught my attention. His suggestion that gold could reach $5,000 or even $10,000 in the current environment, along with his rare endorsement of owning it, makes me pause and consider. I'm not fully on the board with gold yet, but I'm definitely curious about its potential. As for whether gold's rally is unstoppable, I'm cautious about calling it that. Outperforming tech stocks is a big deal, especially in a year where AI and innovation have driven so much growth. However, markets are unpredictable, and while gold's momentum is strong, I think it could face resistance or co

💥 TSMC Just Dropped a Bomb — and the Ripples Could Light Up the Chip Galaxy Again
When TSMC hits record profits, it's like the final boss in a video game leveling up — you know the rest of the tech world is about to feel it. Let's break it down: TSMC's NT$452.3 B profit isn't just a good quarter. It's proof that the AI gold rush is still minting new millionaires — and TSMC is selling the shovels.

I think SGX’s move to expand its SDR suite into Indonesia is timely and strategic.

Among them, PT Telkom Indonesia stands out. As the country’s largest telecom provider and key player in digital transformation, it’s growing its digital and data centre businesses while partnering with Singtel to expand hyperscale infrastructure, positioning it well for future cloud and AI demand. Financially, Telkom offers steady margins, a strong ~7% dividend yield, and share buybacks. Though near-term risks like ARPU pr
