$Alphabet(GOOGL)$ Hurray!  Google has announced a better than expected Q1 25 earnings and its share price jumped 6% helping to lift the other Big Tech stocks as well, setting the tone for bullish sentiments in the markets.    Google dominates in the Search Engine business globally with almost 90% market share.  It is also one of the leaders in AI which is just at its nascent stage.  After the recent doldrums in the markets, Google's excellent results is like a breath of spring, bringing optimism and hope that all will be well despite the recent volatility in the markets.  @Tiger_comments  @TigerSta

🌟🌟🌟I have always wanted to visit the headquarters of $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ and TigerAI told me that it located in Beijing, the capital city of China. Spring time in Beijing must be a beautiful sight to behold.  I wonder if I can catch the cherry blossoms while trekking the Great Wall of China in May.   Perhaps I can walk along the ancient corridors of the Forbidden Palace too. Most of all, I would like to say hello to all the hardworking staff at Tiger Brokers Beijing like @TigerEvents @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @

🌟🌟🌟Keppel versus Keppel DC Reit - which is a Better Investment?  The answer is dependent on each individual's investment objectives, risk tolerance. It is also a matter of deciding whether I want growth or yield. I am currently invested in Keppel DC Reit and love to receive its nice, juicy dividends.  The current dividend yield is 4.4%. As I hold $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ of which Keppel is one of the Top 10 holdings, I am also indirectly invested in Keppel too. Both Keppel and Keppel DC Reit are great investments in the Singapore context. Go Long Go Strong Go Keppel and Keppel DC Reit. 🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🌈🌈🌈💰💰💰 @Tiger_SG @TigerStars

🌟🌟🌟TigerAI recommends going to South East Asia like Thailand.  I think I would like a relaxing holiday at a beautiful resort in Phuket Thailand where I can laze at the gorgeous beaches, get a good Thai massage and eat lots of delicious Thai food. Keeping up with the news on  Trump is exhausting and I need a break away from his forever changing  policies. Hello Phuket, here I come 🥰🥰🥰🏖️🏖️🏖️🌈🌈🌈

🌟🌟🌟Is the US market experiencing a Dead Cat Bounce or has it hit a true bottom?  For new investors, a dead cat bounce refers to a short lived recovery in a declining market.  It is a temporary spike before further declines resume.  In contrast, a true bottom represents the point at which a market has found sufficient support to begin a sustained recovery.  In the current environment, distinguishing between these 2 scenarios is rather challenging given mixed market signals and the Trump factor. Dead Cat Bounce: Technical indicators suggest that the recent rally in the US markets could be a Dead Cat Bounce.   While the markets have rebounded from recent lows, uncertainties which include geopolitical tensions, tariff related disruptions, continue to weigh on the

🌟🌟🌟On April 7, US President Donald Trump said that he had approved a defense budget of USD 1 Trillion.  This is the biggest budget the US Government has ever allocated for its military.  Afterwards Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also confirmed it on X "Coming soon: the first Trillion Dollar Dept of Defense Budget". SHLD $Global X Defense Tech ETF(SHLD)$ seeks to invest in companies positioned to benefit from increased adoption and utilisation of Defense technology.  This includes companies that build and manage cybersecurity systems, utilise AI and big data as well as build advance military systems and hardware such as robotics, fuel systems and aircraft for defense applications.

ServiceNow is indeed a good company to invest in. 🚀🚀🚀🌛🌛🌛💰💰💰 @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @TigerClub

🌟🌟🌟Predicting a specific level like 5500 for the S&P500 is not an easy task and I do not have a crystal ball.  This requires an assessment of multiple macroeconomic and company specific factors.  However in a recovery scenario which could be fueled by improving corporate earnings, stabilised global trade, and favourable monetary policy, I believe that the S&P500 could very well return to 5500 and even go beyond.  On the flip side, persistent headwinds such as inflationary pressures, geopolitical uncertainties or shifts toward tighter monetary policy might delay or derail that recovery.  The benchmark of 5500 is seen as a transition point that reflects market confidence in the resiliency of US companies and an overall economic rebound.  In essence, if e

🌟🌟🌟Tesla $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  is Elon Musk's greatest source of his immense wealth yet he has somewhat neglected it.  I am so happy that he realised that Tesla needs him to make Tesla great again. Tesla's Q1 25 have been notably disappointing, signaling a challenging period for the company. How Bad were the Q1 25 earnings? Revenue and Delivery Declines:  Tesla reported a total revenue of USD 19.3 billion - down 9% compared to the previous year and hitting its lowest mark in 3 years. Automotive revenue alone fell by 20% while deliveries dropped 13% to 336,681 vehicles.  These numbers indicate not just a revenue shortfall but also weakening demand and a potential loss in market share that Tesl

🌟🌟🌟What a phenomenal global success Pop Mart is!  It has gain popularity not only in Asia  but in the US and Europe as well.  I believe that the Blind Box is a outstanding marketing idea that encourages the young people to continue buying.  With the power of social media, this translates into more sales and more profits for Pop Mart. It is not surprising that Pop Mart share price has been going up like a rocket to the moon! @Tiger_comments @TigerStars @CaptainTiger @TigerClub

🌟🌟🌟The Singapore Exchange $SGX(S68.SI)$  hit a 52 week high on Tuesday trading to SGD 14.04.  This is due to favourable market catalysts and improved sentiment. Here are some key drivers behind the upward momentum : New Listings and Strong Debuts:  One major catalyst is the successful debut and IPOs of new listings on the SGX.  A good example is the Automotive Group Vin's Holdings $Vins Holdings(VIN.SI)$ which made its first public appearance on April 15, garnering significant buying interest and serving as a Bullish signal for the broader Singapore market.  Such new listings not only bring in fresh liquidity but also reinvigorate market co

🌟🌟🌟Like a flying carpet, great books transport us to places that we have yet to discover and some even change our lives forever.  "Man's Search For Meaning" by Victor Frankl is one such inspirational book. If I were to describe this awesome book in just 1 sentence, it would be that it teaches us to be resilient through life's challenges and having a purpose in life would enable us to harness our inner strength and mental toughness to handle adversities. We are never too old to learn new things, and with the power of books, the knowledge and wisdom of others will enable us to be better human beings. Happy World's Book Day to Everyone 😍😍😍📚📚📚🌈🌈🌈 @TigerEvents @Tiger_comments

🌟🌟🌟Vin's Holdings $Vins Holdings(VIN.SI)$ had an impressive start to their IPO on April 15 as it rose 16.7% on their trading debut.  It is SGX's first IPO for 2025. From its humble beginnings as a motor vehicle workshop in 1987, Vin's Holdings (VIN) has grown into a comprehensive automotive service provider offering sales, after sales services, financing and rental solutions.  That is 4 decades of growth! Vin's Executive Director and Chairman Vincent Khong said that the strong investor response was a testament to the solid foundation that VIN has built in the industry for almost 40 years.   With this successful listing, VIN is well positioned to leverage its expertise and experience while embracing new technologies to d

🌟🌟🌟If ever there is a book that moved me to tears and is so inspiring is the book "Man's Search for Meaning" written by a Holocaust Survivor Victor Frankl.  To describe the phenomenonal book in a sentence is simply this:  It is a story about being Resilient in the face of Adversity, the Power of having a purpose in life and ultimately to seek out our deeper purpose in life. Victor Frankl shows us the way by living through the horrors in a Nazi concentration camp in World War 2 and revealed how even in the most brutal circumstances, the search for Meaning in life, can empower us to endure suffering and harness our inner strength. At the core of this inspiring book is " Logotheraphy", a word coined by Victor Frankl that the idea of finding a purpose in life is the mo

$Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ , 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
