$Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ , my favourite Singapore supermarket stock has just hit a 52 week high today at SGD 1.75!  Sheng Siong is the 3rd largest chain of supermarkets in Singapore, synonymous with offering value for money.  Sheng Siong also pays a nice steady dividend.  The current dividend yield is 3.66%.  Sheng Siong goes ex dividend on May 2, with a payout date of May 16. When the markets are volatile, Sheng Siong is a great defensive staple stock to buy and hold long term, generating a steady source of passive income while waiting for capital growth.  Slow and steady wins the race! Go Long Go Strong Go Sheng Siong! 🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰

🌟🌟🌟When the markets are choppy, a Bull Put Spread Options Strategy allows me to capitalise on the idea that the underlying stock will not drop significantly below the higher strike price. This Options Strategy can help me to generate income as the upfront premium can be attractive in volatile conditions. There is also limited downside even if the stock experiences  sharp short term movements as my losses are capped. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @TigerClub @Tiger_SG

🌟🌟🌟I am like a surfer trying to ride the waves of volatility, the bigger the wave, the more opportunities there are. However to be good at surfing the waves take skill, patience &  willingness to take risks to ride out the waves of a turbulent stock market.  Like the sea, the stock market is unpredictable. However with the right knowledge and approach to investing, it is possible to take a more strategic approach that involves riding the waves of the market, holding tight, weathering the ups and downs until I reach safe harbour. One of my strategies is to have a diversified portfolio and a long term perspective to investing. Just like a surfer waits for the right wave to come along, being patient before making significant investment decisions is also key. The bigger the wa

🌟🌟🌟All eyes will be Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Thursday as it reports its Q1 25 results.    Wall Street Analysts are generally bullish on Google $Alphabet(GOOG)$  $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  ability to weather economic uncertainty. Citi Analysts said recently that they expect Google Search would be  "among the last platforms to experience macro impacts and among the first to recover".   This is due to its potential for growth from the adoption of AI tools like Google's AI Mode in Search as well as the latest version of Google's Gemini large language model.

$YZJ Shipbldg SGD(BS6.SI)$ What an amazing turnaround for Yangzijiang today!  It jumped 14% this morning due primarily to regulatory relief on the reduction of port fees.  Initially US authorities were proposing to impose higher fees on vessels built in China.  However the proposed higher port fees have since been reduced. Yangzijiang has also been buying back shares recently to boost its share price.  In addition to that good news, Yangzijiang announced a final dividend of SGD 0.12 per share for its financial year ending December 31 2024.  The current dividend yield is 5.29%.  Yangzijiang will go ex dividend on May 5.  How good is that! 🥰🥰🥰🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @TigerC

🌟🌟🌟In the midst of market volatility due to the new policies of the Trump Administration, it is not surprising that Gold is the new paradigm of safety.  I am so happy that my investment in $iShares Gold Trust(IAU)$ has been on a upward momentum as a safe haven amid this volatility. @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @TigerClub

🌟🌟🌟In the current volatile markets, I believe that DBS $DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$  is a great defensive stock to buy and hold especially when it drops  below SGD 40. In the aftermath of Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, DBS dropped to a 52 week low of SGD 32.28 in early April amid fears that this could cause a global recession.  Slower growth expectations could pose a major challenge for DBS and other local banks as they may dampen new loan demand and customer risk appetite.   However since then DBS's shares have recovered and closed SGD 40.83 last Thursday, up 7.7% in just 1 week.  Is DBS a solid buy under SGD 40?  Let's check out the reasons why.  Fundamentals an

$STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ is a phenomenal ETF that represents 30 of Singapore's best blue chips companies.  It is also the oldest ETF with an excellent track record of paying great dividends.  The current dividend yield is 4.74% paid twice a year.  The next dividend is due in August 2025.  Slow and Steady wins the race! 🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬 Go Long Go Strong Go STI ETF 😍😍😍 @CaptainTiger  @TigerClub  @Tiger_SG  @Tiger_comments  

🌟🌟🌟All eyes will be on Elon Musk on April 22, as Tesla is scheduled to report its  Q1 25 earnings report. Can Tesla's Earnings repeat last April's earnings beat or fall below USD 200? Last April, Tesla managed to surprise the market by beating analysts expectations.  The rally was fueled by strong production numbers, improved margins and positive investor sentiment.  However the current environment for Q1 25 shows mixed signals.  While there are reasons for cautious optimism, significant production challenges and delivery figures (down 16% and 13% year over year respectively) have raised concerns among investors.  These factors leave open 2 distinct scenarios for the upcoming earnings report. Scenario 1 - Repeating the April Beat Cost Management and Energy Growth -

🌟🌟🌟Warren Buffett once said "Price is what you pay, value is what you get".  This to me encapsulates a core principle of value investing and serves as a poignant reminder to look beyond the share price of a stock. What is the difference between Price and Value? Price is the amount of money we pay when we buy something.  In the context of stocks, it is the market quote at which a share of a company is bought or sold.  The price can be influenced by market sentiment, short term news and speculative behaviour. Value refers to the intrinsic worth of an asset.  It is determined by Fundamentals such as a company's earnings, growth prospects, assets and overall financial health.  While price fluctuates frequently, the underlying value is more stable and represents what an

🌟🌟🌟Jensen Huang's visit to China after recent US export restrictions on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ H20 AI chips is a strategic move which is aimed at safeguarding Nvidia's long standing and important relationship with the Chinese market. He wants to reassure China that it is an important market for Nvidia and maintain steady business ties despite the tighter US export rules. This could involve exploring alternative product strategies or planning shifts towards newer chip lines that are not subject to same restrictions. Even as US policy tightens its grip, Jensen Huang is signaling that nothing will halt the progress of AI.   He has to balance compliance with continued technological innovation. Even though Nvidia copped USD 5.5 billion loss due to

🌟🌟🌟Easter at its very core, symbolises profound themes of renewal, transformation and hope.   At its heart, Easter celebrates Joy of Life, Gratitude and New Beginnings. May All My Dear Tiger Friends Be Blessed With Abundance of Positive Mindset, Success and Prosperity This Easter. Happy Easter 😍😍😍🥚🥚🥚🐰🐰🐰🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @Tiger_chat @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG @CaptainTiger

🌟🌟🌟Netflix $Netflix(NFLX)$ did better than Analysts' expectations as its Q1 25 revenue grew 13%.  Netflix said that higher than expected revenue was due to higher than forecasted subscriptions and advertising dollars. This is the 1st time Netflix did not disclose its quarterly subscriber data.  It shifts its strategy to focus on revenue & other financial metrics as performance indicators. Wall Street Analysts are bullish on Netflix with a Buy rating, Average Target price of USD 1,110.00, an upside potential of 14%. I believe that the investors are  upbeat on Netflix and that it will continue its upward momentum next week to close at around USD 990.00 after the Easter holidays. I will be watching closely to see if it will reach

🌟🌟🌟The long Easter weekend is a good time to enjoy the simple pleasures of spending time with loved ones.  I am planning to take my family for a trip to Desaru in Johor, as well as some shopping therapy at Johor Bahru. However it is a good to reflect how fortunate we are to be living in Singapore where there is peace and harmony. Easter represents New Beginnings, New Hope and the Joy of Life.  May All My Dear Tiger Friends enjoy your Easter, recharge and ready for more exciting action next week. Happy Easter 😍😍😍🐰🐰🐰🥚🥚🥚🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @Tiger_SG @

🌟🌟🌟The US Federal Reserve's independence is a cornerstone of its ability to make unbiased monetary policy decisions.  Any attempt by Donald Trump to fire Jerome Powell for policy disagreements could severely undermine this independence.  This could cause a snowball effect and erode public and market confidence in the Federal Reserve's ability to operate free from political pressure. The recent selloff of the US long term Treasury Bonds are a strong indicator of the global and market uncertainty and trust in the strength of the US markets. Despite this uncertainty, I will continue to stay invested and dollar cost average into my favourite index ETFs and let the magic of compounding happen over a long term horizon. No single individual, not even Donald Trump can directly control

🌟🌟🌟Captain Condor aka David Chau  has a huge legion of over 1,000 members who follows his "Iron Condor" strategy. Under his leadership, his online community aka the Condor Legion - places options orders in unison with his trades. When the total volume exceeds over 10,000 contracts, they are large enough to draw significant attention and potentially influence price movements. In many ways Captain Condor can be likened to Roaring Kitty aka Keith Gill.  It underscores the power of social media. When large volumes of certain options are traded, it can influence the implied volatility of those options and force the big institutions to adjust their hedging strategies. For some advanced traders, the Iron Condor options strategy can be an effective tool for recurring income, especially

🌟🌟🌟The Iron Condor is an advanced trading strategy designed to profit from low volatility in the underlying asset.It is a neutral strategy where I expect the asset's price to stay within a predetermined range through to expiration. I would use the Iron Condor options strategy if there is a high probability of a modest gain.  I am betting that the asset will not move dramatically in either direction. However unexpected sharp moves in the underlying asset (whether up or down) can lead to losses.  The good thing is that these losses are capped by the option structure. @OptionsTutor @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
