At the rate we are going with tariff, weird white house antics, talking down others... all only wane down the influence of West while the East’s rising influence is undeniable, especially in the global financial markets and emerging technologies. So yes, long term, East may vome out top. I see Hong Kong market may continue to perform in certain sectors, especially those aligned with China's economic priorities. Especially those tied to high-growth sectors like technology, renewable energy. To recover my earlier loss, i hope HK trend holds and the newly listed gives a boost to the market

DCA with a plan, I have been proven by past experience to have mental target points, usually at support, to BUY THE DIP. that's said also have to check if the overall trend is in favour. and that determine my size of DCA. spare cash can get invested elsewhere while waiting....

I am cautious about Duolingo’s growth. Language learning is not new and other than direct translation, it still depends on individuals' interest level and motivation to learn. something that AI cannot help with. Thus, Mandarin's complexity could cause user drop-off. Especially after the novelty dies off. Can still just post pics and English text anyway. I used Duolingo to learn languages before but wasn't persistent so i pretty much only remember conversational words, lol. Learning Mandarin takes consistency especially on the tones. Have conversation practice and watch chinese drama!!! I prefer app translation as it is convenient and can use phone for text. But i missing the cultural nuances which I appreciates in enjoying the local culture/living

No, I don’t trade every day, though I’m always psyched to watch the market. I get pretty absorbed in following market movements, and when I try to predict trends, I sometimes find myself a bit addicted—it’s hard not to get emotionally invested, especially with money on the line [Cry] It can even affect my mood at times. That’s why I’m focusing on improving my risk management and emotional control. My goal is to approach trading with a long-term mindset, as I’m in it to build financial gains over time [Call]

based on technical indicators. it is oversold and due for at least a relief rally. if POTUS can keep quiet, i am sure the market will advance as we are still in a bull market. my options died but i am hopeful long term. brought small

Got sucker punched by the recent V shape recovery. the market always does the opposite of ny action and i hope it is a lesson for myself to trade based on the trend.  also, a strategy on win and losses. live to fight another day
