I did a calculation yesterday that I might have a shortfall of $4k to achieve my KPI of $36K this year. Purely from cash investment n excluding SRS. If including SRS, I have achieved it. Hence, I have to put on my thinking cap to achieve my KPI.
I didn’t want to share the SG counters I bought last month and this month as everyone of us have our own plan. Just follow your plan n not blindly follow others as my average cost could be very low. Taking $SIA(C6L.SI)$ & $SGX(S68.SI)$ as an example. Former was acquired during Covid period whereas latter was purchased way before Covid period. Hence, if I were to add more of them, I am still generating profit. [USD][USD]

I also like using a Bollinger Bands (20) breakout as an additional signal—especially when the price breaks out with strong volume after a period of consolidation. That said, I only apply this approach to stocks with big news or announcements, as these tend to create the volatility and liquidity needed for a short-term setup to work. This combination of technical analysis and market catalysts has given me some of my best quick trades.
If there’s no strong news driver, I prefer to trade stocks for mid to long terms instead. Short-term trades can be exciting and profitable, but for me, they work best when backed by both technical signals and a clear catalyst.

Nevertheless, long term investment would be still the majority part of your investment for dividend and growth of equity counters. Be cautious about short term investment anyway. Hence choose strong counters for contingency. Cheers. [Smile]
The tiger coins have been sent. You can check them in the tiger coin center “history“.
based on this experience, here is what i will do if i trade like an ape again:
- don't trade like an ape for more than 1 week. after 1 week, sell, even if it's a loss
- be prepared to let go at 50 - 100% profit.
- don't buy/sell options of the meme stock.
