[Events] Dumpling or Dumping? Your Toughest Trade of the Year

TigerEvents
2025-05-31

Wrapping zongzi—traditional sticky rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival—looks easy, but it’s surprisingly tricky. You need the right leaf, the right amount of filling, and just the right fold. One wrong move, and the whole thing falls apart.

Sounds familiar? Investing can feel exactly the same. Pick the wrong stock, buy at the wrong time, or get shaken out too early—and just like a poorly wrapped zongzi, your portfolio gets "sticky and messy."

This Dragon Boat Festival, I would like to invite you to share your toughest stock you tried to "wrap up" this year.

May is Done! How Do You Expect June Movement?
S&P 500 has risen 6.15% this month, marking its best monthly gain of the year. After April’s sell-off and May’s surge, did you make any money? There’s a saying: “Sell in May and go away.” Will you follow it? Interestingly, the market clearly ignored that advice last year. However, June hasn’t historically been a standout month in terms of performance. Historically, the market has NEVER made the top for the year in the month of June. (since 1980) Will you continue to hold or take profits? Will June defy seasonal patterns, or see a temporary cooldown?

    交易中最大的障碍是自己...，我买了很多股票，但我很少做卖出交易，当价格上涨时，我想着更好的收益，但当价格开始一点一点下跌时，我犹豫了又犹豫，直到它进一步下跌...我经历了许多起起落落，但没有抛售，只是坐着看着涨跌，有时当价格下跌时会买更多。
    所以我更像是一个包饺子的人，而不是一个倾销投资者😁
    一个好的交易者应该有一个设定的目标，当这些目标达到时就付诸行动，以真正利用交易的波动...我正在努力哈哈端午节快乐，吃一顿丰盛的饺子大餐！！！

    I would say a frustrating trade would be MRK $Merck(MRK)$ . I viewed it as a strong defensive stock in the Dow components [Facepalm]. Initially did make profits & collected partial profits along the way [USD]....hence but Might be blinded by the wins [Gosh].... & not exiting All when the chart said so... [Cry]. Is it too late 😭.... maybe 🤔.... For now, looking at a suitable Recovery plan 😜. @Shyon @yourcelesttyy @JC888 @Shernice軒嬣 2000 @Barcode

    What a wonderful analogy. Humourous,  accurate yet appropriate depiction. Personally I must say it would be the Novocure stocks. I made some, but following a very encouraging climb, it headed south due to uncertainties of many kinds. Nonetheless, still feel positive about it, and hope to celebrate it with more savoury dumplings. Dumplings please. No dumping.

    After three green trades in a row, I went heavy on the next setup without waiting for confirmation. It reversed hard right after my entry, and I froze instead of cutting the loss. That single trade erased all my prior gains and reminded me that overconfidence is the silent killer. @AhGong

    我跟随社交媒体上一位受欢迎的交易员进入了一个我并不完全理解的复杂期权价差。当它开始对我不利时，我惊慌失措，错误地关闭了它，锁定了不必要的损失。教训：如果你没有完全理解这个策略，就不要交易它——不管是谁在做。
