Quiet compounder. Holding both DBS and OCBC has been a steady and reassuring experience for me. Seeing them hit fresh intraday highs reinforces why I like Singapore banks as core positions — strong wealth-management income, disciplined capital returns, and clear dividend visibility make them feel dependable even as the rate cycle turns. Between the two, I appreciate DBS for its consistency and dividend clarity, while OCBC adds value with a slightly cheaper valuation and improving fee momentum. Even with some NIM pressure ahead, the overall package still feels resilient, especially when buybacks and dividends continue to support share prices. I also use DLCs $DBS 5xLongSG280330(LQSW.SI)$ $OCBC 5xLongS

My focus will be on $DBS(D05.SI)$ , following the news that DBS has been appointed as Singapore’s second RMB clearing bank. This is a meaningful strategic upgrade, as it strengthens DBS’s role in cross-border RMB settlement, trade finance, and capital flows between China and Southeast Asia. In my view, this isn’t just a symbolic title. RMB clearing status gives DBS deeper access to transaction volume, liquidity management, and fee-based income tied to regional trade and investment. As RMB internationalisation gradually expands, banks with official clearing capabilities stand to benefit structurally over the long term. Against the backdrop of global monetary policy divergence and investors rotating into value and financials, DBS stands out as a

People complain that $TSLA hasn't done much in the past 5 years, but that's because they don't accumulate. Most investors just buy once, hold, and then complain when the price doesn't skyrocket immediately—instead of regularly adding to their position and enjoying the compounding effects of accumulation. Here is a breakdown if you just bought $100 worth of $TSLA every month since Jan 2021: Total invested: $6,000 Total shares accumulated: approximately 31.5 (via dollar-cost averaging over volatile periods, including the 2021 peak, 2022 decline, 2023 recovery, and 2024-2025 gains) Current value as of December 15, 2025 (using latest price ~$475 per share): approximately $14,960 This represents a total return of about 150% over 5 years and anybody can do this. Stay disciplined

$GraniteShares 2x Long TSLA Daily ETF(TSLR)$ $iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF(EEM)$ $Broadcom(AVGO)$ 🎅📊🌍🔥 Global Options Flow Check | Positioning for Chop as December Seasonality Kicks In 🔥🌍📊🎅 I’m watching the options tape closely here because the message is clear and it’s nuanced. This is not fear. This is positioning. I’m seeing outsized, institutionally meaningful flow hit the global ETF complex. $EEM printed roughly 7.8M contracts with calls absolutely dominating at over 7.7M, nearly 48x average daily volume. $EWZ followed with more than 3.2M contracts, again call heavy. $FXI and $EFA both showed the same pattern, elevated volume multiples and overwhelm

📉 Market Red After Rate Cuts? Why This Is a Gift, Not a Crash Is the "Fed Pivot Party" over before it began? Or is this the shakeout we needed? 🚨 The Context: Why Is the Market Down? If you looked at your screen yesterday, it was ugly. US markets faced pressure, and that sentiment is bleeding into global tech today. But let’s be real: this is a classic "Sell the News" event. The market priced in the rate cuts weeks ago, so the immediate reaction is a pull-back. However, the narrative hasn’t broken. We are shifting from a tightening cycle to a liquidity easing cycle. The mistake many retail traders make right now is confusing a short-term sentiment flush with a long-term trend reversal. Here is why I am staying bullish and using this volatility to accumulate. 1️⃣ The "Perfect Trade" is a My

🟩 Is the "safe path" to retirement actually the most dangerous route you can take? For most Singaporeans, the standard strategy has always been maximizing CPF, buying savings bonds, and paying off the HDB flat. But with core inflation stubbornly eroding purchasing power and the cost of living sprinting ahead, a 4% risk-free return might no longer be enough to keep your head above water. In this deep dive, we strip away the emotional comfort of cash to reveal the harsh mathematical reality facing everyone in the 45+ bracket: avoiding the stock market could cost you over $75,000 in lost opportunity. In this video, I break down the "Fear Gap" and compare the real returns of a CPF-focused retirement against an equity-focused strategy using the Straits Times Index (STI). We analyze the hidden d

Wall Street wrapped a wild Monday on a sour note, with the S&P 500 dipping 0.5% to 6,859 and Nasdaq sliding 0.8% to 19,340 as investors dumped tech heavyweights for safer shores. Tesla bucked the trend with a 4% surge to $446, flirting with a mind-blowing $3 trillion valuation on bold predictions of Optimus robot dominance and China sales rebounding 10% in November. 😎 Apple and Amazon weren't so lucky, both tumbling 2% to $250 and $208 amid broader AI jitters and consumer crunch fears. Oracle plunged 3% to $190.50 after capex bloat spooked the crowd, while Broadcom and Coinbase sank 6% to $155.83 and $320, hit by margin misses and crypto volatility. The rotation to defensives like utilities (up 1.2%) screams risk-off vibes, but QT's trillion-dollar liquidity wave keeps the bounce poten

From my perspective, this tech-led pullback still looks more like a healthy correction than a confirmed trend reversal. After a powerful AI-driven rally, some consolidation was almost unavoidable. The Nasdaq $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$   underperforming doesn't automatically mean risk appetite is gone — it more likely reflects stretched positioning being unwound and expectations cooling off. Broadcom $Broadcom(AVGO)$  and Oracle $Oracle(ORCL)$  extending last week's weakness definitely grabs attention, especially with Broadcom marking its worst three-day drop since 2020. But context matte

The Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) offers investors exposure to a basket of companies engaged in silver mining worldwide. Launched in 2010, the fund seeks to replicate the performance of the Solactive Global Silver Miners Total Return Index. This gives investors efficient access to the sector in a single trade. In this article, we will look at the Elliott Wave technical outlook for the ETF. SIL (Silver Miners ETF) Monthly Elliott Wave Chart The monthly Elliott Wave chart of the Silver Miners ETF (SIL) shows that wave ((II)) of the Grand Super Cycle concluded at $14.94 in January 2016.

The next nesting sequence carried wave ((1)) to $52.87, followed by w

Labor market signals flashed red today as the US unemployment rate climbed to 4.6% in November, surpassing the 4.4% forecast and marking the highest level since September 2021. 😩 This softer-than-expected print, coupled with just 64,000 jobs added versus 180,000 expected, paints a picture of cooling momentum in the economy, sparking fresh bets on Fed easing to keep growth afloat. With wage growth ticking up 4.4%, but overall hiring slowing, investors are eyeing higher odds for rate cuts in 2026 – a move that could supercharge risk assets like tech giants and cyclicals. 😎 This data dump, delayed by the record-long government shutdown, also included partial October figures showing nonfarm payrolls at 119,000 and unemployment at 4.4%. The broader underemployment rate swelled to 8.7%, highligh

Imagine a cheat code that's fueled Wall Street's wild ride for two decades – borrowing cheap yen at rock-bottom rates to chase high-yield US Treasuries, pocketing easy spreads with zero sweat. 💰 But that era's ending in flames as Japan's rate hikes flip the script, forcing a massive unwind that's already sending shockwaves through stocks, crypto, and real estate. As of December 16, 2025, the yen's reversing hard against the dollar, narrowing the US-Japan yield gap and making the trade a losing bet. Exporters like Toyota are cheering the stronger yen, but global liquidity's draining fast, leaving Nasdaq momentum plays and overleveraged assets in the dust. This isn't just a blip – it's a structural shift that's quietly eroding the foundation of the bull market, with trillions at stake. 🌍🔥 Th

For me, the recent U.S. employment data reinforces the “bad news is good news” narrative. Some softness in the labor market increases the odds of further Fed rate cuts, which is generally supportive for equities as long as the slowdown remains orderly rather than recessionary. That said, I’m watching the BOJ closely. A hike to 0.75% would be a meaningful shift, and historically BOJ tightening has coincided with higher global volatility. With U.S. stocks at record highs, a more cautious near-term stance feels reasonable, even if history doesn’t repeat perfectly. In terms of positioning, I’m neither fully in cash nor blindly all-in. I stay invested in core holdings while keeping some dry powder to deploy if macro or BOJ headlines trigger a pullback. If a Santa Claus rally arrives, I partici
