$MIXUE GROUP(02097)$ bullish with its reach to the masses and with more outlets to be opened!

Of course volatile create opportunity. It is a chance to buy good stocks at a cheap price for investment and definitely good for traders. In the same vein, bigger waves do mean bigger rewards. I have already started to nibble a bit and definitely have bought my SREITS. I think the potential storms will be short lived and trump will not allow these to go on forever and the market would rebound quickly. @Kaixiang @Fenger1188 @SPOT_ON @DiAngel @Wayneqq @rL

Captain condor can be the next roaring kitty with much massive trades. Collectively, the retail investors can rival the big whales. I would say this strategy is a smart one that covers the bases well. I will definitely look into adopting this strategy but not doubling on contract size as this is pure gambling. I would prefer to invest safely with knowledge and skills. @rL @Success88 @DiAngel @Universe宇宙 @HelenJanet @SPOT_ON

I do believe that Powell has been too late. He was too late to recognise inflation and now he is also too late to cut rates. Trump is erratic but he is not insane. I don’t think he can fire Powell but he will continue to pressure him to cut rates. I have started to deploy some of my cash to buy the dip but I would also be looking at an opportunity to lock in the profits. I believe the worst is over and the US and China stocks will rise especially if talks are successful but the volatility will still be there which makes it good for swing trading. So for now, I would be trading a portion of my portfolio while keeping a portion for long term investment. @SPOT_ON @Success88

It does not affect my investing decisions. It all depends whether I find the stock price cheap enough for me to buy a good stock. I avoided Netflix not because of the price but I do not believe in its future prospects for me to invest in it. Berkshire was something I was tempted to buy but have not and now regretting it! Between the 3, I only like Nvidia and so would spend all my money in it. I like stocks with high price that I can still consider to be bought at a steal as a small rise allows me to take profit easily.   @Success88 @HelenJanet @Fenger1188 @Univer

Can’t travel anywhere as I’m working . But I will still be able to go to church for Good Friday and then have a good dinner with my family. I will be a homebody as I rest on my non-working day, playing games, watch a show with my family and catching up with them. Whether it is as a jet setter, local explorer or homebody, it is important for me to be able to spend time with my family and strengthen our bonds. @Universe宇宙 @HelenJanet @Success88 @Fenger1188 @Wayneqq

A strong SGD affects daily life as it helps to reduce importing inflation. A strong currency also allows us to get greater bang for the buck when we travel overseas especially to neighbouring Malaysia for grocery, shopping and food. It also helps us investors when we buy non-SG stocks like the US and HK stocks. I definitely will not put my market in fixed deposit as it cannot even match inflation. Investing through Tiger brokers or using Tiger vault is definitely the wiser option, especially in the longer run. @Universe宇宙 @Wayneqq @HelenJanet @Success88

Anything is possible. The main players—US and China can trigger both a recession as well as a rebound. It is all about whether they can reconcile their difference and prevent a trade war. I think both sides won’t want a recession but both always want the best interests for themselves. Let’s hope they can compromise a little. I still believe trump will try to prevent a recession and we might see some good news soon. However, I also believe after this brief respite, there will be another round of selling as traders take profit and both the US and China will definitely have other issues of tension again by the end of this year that will spark off the next sell off. This random dipping and rebounding will be more frequent this year and with greater degree than the past year.

I don’t think gold will break $4000. The tariffs by trump is just for him to have negotiation power. He is not that silly to spark off a depression and will try to also avoid a recession. I see gold similar to stock ie, a non cash option and having it reduces my liquid cash for me to deploy to stocks when they dip. I prefer to keep a healthy portion of cash. I don’t think anyone can say their portfolio is ready for a crash. Given the volatility, I prefer to keep healthy amount of cash and prefer to take profit rather than to be a bag holder. The recent rise is a relief for most investors. Let’s see how much this can rise. I would take profit at the right time. @Wayneqq @Success88

I love chagee for the quality ingredients used and its focus on health. At this point, I would not prefer to invest as my preference is still in mixue that can reach the masses with its affordable price point, especially in times of uncertainty like this with a possibility of a recession. I would prefer to watch the potential development of chargee and the stock price movement before considering investing. @rL @SPOT_ON @Kaixiang @DiAngel @Universe宇宙 @Success88

Definitely better to stop watching and to just sleep through the night and keep my sanity. Trump flips his tariffs like prata and there is no end to it. I prefer to buy my ETFs when they are cheaper and average down. His swinging policies make it suitable for swing trading. In times like these, I think best to take profits in order to get a good night sleep and sleep through all his flip flopping. @SPOT_ON @Kaixiang @rL @Success88 @Fenger1188 @KYHBKO

$TENCENT(00700)$  Finally! After trump puts the tariffs on hold.

I have not bottomed the banks as I was expecting them to go lower before Trump’s surprise u-turn on tariffs. But it is only a 90-day period which means the tariffs could return. If the tariffs return, I’m bearishb on their returns for 2025. DBS has always been the best choice but I prefer to wait and see for now. US big bank earnings would provide guidance for Singapore banks as the nature of business is similar; the main differentiation is the market that they are exposed to and as a open market, Singapore banks are exposed to similar risk to the US banks. @Universe宇宙 @Wayneqq @HelenJanet

The hardest thing to predict is policy. Sentiment usually follow policies, inflation and earnings reports. Traders use technicals because there is some form of predictability. Policy is unexpected and unpredictable. We only know when it is announced eg chips act, tariffs, retaliation by other countries, new trade agreement are beyond the control of us. @Fenger1188 @SPOT_ON @rL @Kaixiang @Success88 @DiAngel @W

I agree that a new world order may unfold but it is too early to commit to what it really will be as it all depends on how the nations respond to the tariffs and what trump does in return. I believe trump is trying to create a new order in the interests of US but the other countries must collectively do what he wants which may not happen. If the market truly collapses, I will not go all in. It is too dangerous. One really never knows when it is truly the bottom and whether further pain lies ahead. I would prefer to enter in phases and would be considering taking profit very quickly on a portion to avoid being a crazy bag holder and also keep a portion as a longer term investment in case it really does not fall further and rally quickly. @

It is only technical as it has been too oversold before and trump’s decision gives the market the relief it needed to rise. I would prefer to take profit and sell the mag7 so that I would have cash to buy at the next low. The following months would be very volatile as investors try to make sense of what trump wants and what the other nations would do in response. Nobody knows when trump would truly give the market the break it needed to prevent a recession. But I do believe that eventually the buying pressure would push the stock prices back to where it was, with time. For now, swing trading might work out. @SPOT_ON @Fenger1188

Was already in but yet to add positions before the rally happens. Was still waiting for the stock to drop further. As usual, my favourite is ETF. Will still prefer to watch before I make any trade as trump is really the one who will make waves in the stock market. @Wayneqq @DiAngel @Universe宇宙 @HelenJanet @Success88 @SPOT_ON @rL @Fenger1188

Of course this is the smartest move. At 10%, it is already the lowest and Trump has promised more tariffs if the countries retaliate. No point trying to retaliate and get even more tariffs. Better to explore alternative options like trading with other partners as far as possible instead of facing this problem the hard way and sparking off a greater trade war and making both parties even worse off... In the short term, the STI will crash due to the uncertainty and our dependence on the other countries as a small, open economy. REITS, banks and other SG-based logistics will see headwinds till a new equilibrium can be found such as new opportunities and new partners. @Universe宇宙 @Wayneq

The stock will rise again!
