To The Moon

I don’t picture myself as a trader hunched over six monitors, drawing lines on charts like a cartographer mapping invisible oceans. My way of deciding whether to buy a stock is quieter, more human, and closer to a conversation than a calculation. It usually starts with a name. I hear about a company in passing: a product I use, a brand I notice everywhere, a business that keeps showing up in news headlines. I don’t rush to open a chart. Instead, I let my curiosity linger. Do I understand what this company does? Do I see it surviving a few bad years? If the answers feel right, that’s when I invite the numbers into the room. This is where my relationship with technical analysis politely ends. I don’t squint at candlesticks or chase moving averages. The market, to me, isn’t a puzzle that can

I have a rule that I’ve stuck to for as long as I can remember: I don’t buy stocks at all-time highs. Not “usually don’t.” Not “try not to.” I don’t. No matter how good the company is, no matter how exciting the news sounds, and no matter how loudly the market is cheering. And yes, that includes Tesla. Before anyone accuses me of being a Tesla hater, let me clarify: I think Tesla is awesome. Tesla is ambitious, innovative, and never short on big ideas. Just recently, Elon Musk said the company is testing robotaxis that operate without human safety drivers. That’s the kind of headline that lights up timelines and makes people feel like they’re about to miss the future if they don’t buy now. But here’s the thing: Tesla’s stock isn’t cheap. Tesla’s 52-week range runs from $214.25 to

I just realised I’ve gone quiet on Tiger Brokers for some time — until recently. No buying. No posting. Nothing. And when I say “quite some time,” I mean long by my own standards. Normally, I’m far more active, but lately life has been busy enough that the market was left to do its thing without me watching every move. Until last night. Close to midnight, I logged into my Tiger Brokers account — not because I had a plan, but because that’s what investors do when they can’t sleep. I started scrolling, half distracted, when ABR caught my attention. The price looked cheap. Not cheap in a headline-grabbing way, but cheap compared to what I clearly remember paying and selling it for a long time ago. That memory hit instantly, and before I could talk myself out of it, I bought ABR at $8.32 per s

$iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF(TLH)$ There is no 30% withholding tax on dividends for TLH. I bought TLH as a long-term investment because I find the dividend yield reasonable, the dividend frequency attractive, and the absence of a 30% withholding tax appealing.

$Arbor(ABR)$ I bought ABR today on both Tiger Brokers and Webull because I believe it is undervalued. In my personal opinion, the dividend yield is attractive, the company's past earnings history looks okay, and the investment helps diversify my portfolio.

I’ve been using Tiger Brokers for a while and currently sit in the “Elite” membership tier. One of the perks I actually like is the 500 Tiger Coins I can claim each month—it’s a simple, nice bonus that adds up over time without needing to jump through hoops. It’s like a little pat on the back for just being active, logging in, and keeping up with my trades. Right now, the main ways to earn coins are trading, signing in etc., which is great, but I can’t help imagining other ways the app could make coin-earning more interesting. What if exploring a stock’s profile, or even playing mini trading quizzes—gave extra coins? Imagine getting rewarded for being curious, not just active. Maybe even small interactive missions like tracking your portfolio diversification, setting and meeting saving goa

The calendar flipped to December, and the market seemed determined to remind me that nothing is predictable. The second trading day of the month saw the major U.S. indices open higher, and for a brief moment, I felt that familiar mix of curiosity and caution. Will December follow its usual script—start low and finish strong? Or will this year break the pattern and keep everyone guessing? S&P 500 (.SPX) NASDAQ (.IXIC) I’ve been thinking a lot about my own approach this month, and I realize that I have a few goals that go beyond chasing gains. First, I want to spend less time glued to stock prices. Watching every tick can be hypnotic, and even though I don’t obsess for hours, I’ve noticed it can be counterproductive. Adjusting trades every time a share wiggles isn’t just exhausting, it c

The AI chip wars are heating up, and it feels like every month there’s a new contender stepping into the ring to challenge Nvidia’s throne. Amazon just dropped its game-changer: an in-house AI chip that the company claims is “cost-effective” compared to Nvidia’s offerings. Meanwhile, Marvell has made a bold move by acquiring Celestial AI, positioning itself as a contender in next-generation optical interconnect technology. Google isn’t sitting idly either—its TPUs have already carved out a niche, and Broadcom’s ASIC chips add another layer to this increasingly crowded field. Broadcom (AVGO) Alphabet (GOOGL) Marvell Technology (MRVL) Amazon.com (AMZN) Personally, I’m bearish on Nvidia at the moment, though I’ll admit—I often get it wrong when it comes to AI or tech-related stocks. On the su

I still remember the first time I fell down the rabbit hole reading about the Terra Luna crash. I didn’t own a single Terra Luna coin—never traded it, never staked it, barely even knew what its logo looked like. But when the collapse happened, I read about it the way people binge-watch disaster documentaries. Every headline felt like another episode: “Stablecoin destabilizes.” “Investors stunned.” I was more of an observer than a victim, but the whole saga still stuck to my memory like smoke after a fire. And even though Bitcoin is nothing like Terra Luna—completely different structure, history, and level of resilience—that old memory somehow sneaks back into my thoughts whenever the crypto charts turn red. So when Bitcoin just plunged again right after that short one-week rebound, my brai

Black Friday arrived like it does every year—flashing banners, endless notifications, and the subtle, irresistible pull of “limited-time deals.” My phone buzzed with alerts from Amazon, Shopee, Lazada. I opened each app like a kid in a candy store, my eyes scanning hundreds of items, my finger swiping through discounts and promotions. I added more things to my carts than I can count: headphones, gadgets, a few books, maybe even something I didn’t need but couldn’t resist. And yet… I didn’t buy a single thing. I found myself thinking about 12.12, the next big sale day. Maybe the discounts would be better then. Maybe patience would reward me. So all those carts, stuffed with potential purchases, sat idle, digital tombstones of my indecision. The same pattern is true in the stock market, or a
