Supercharge Your Retirement: Invest A93 In Your SRS
๐๐๐There is a quiet, electrifying shift happening in global finance and it is focused on $Amova Asia exJC S$(A93.SI)$ . For decades, investing in Asia meant tethering your capital to the cyclical swings of China or the stagnant maturity of Japan. But the true, roaring pulse of modern Asian growth lies elsewhere. It is alive in the brilliant silicon foundries of Taiwan, the hyper kinetic tech hubs of South Korea and the unstoppable youthful economic engine of India. A93 is not just an ETF. It is managed by Amova Asset Management Asia Ltd, the premier institutional manager formerly known as Nikko Asset Management Asia. A93 is a meticulously crafted fund designed to cut out the noise of old giants and plug
๐๐๐ It may seem like the party is over for the South Korean Market as the KOSPI dropped over 3% today. This is due to the selloff by foreign investors and waning enthusiasm for the AI trade. Perhaps this is just a breather and a great bargain hunting opportunity for long term investors. A good ETF to buy is $iShares MSCI South Korea ETF(EWY)$ This is the industry standard and has over USD 26 billion in asset size and highest liquidity. As Warren Buffett likes to say "Be fearful when others are greedy and Greedy when others are fearful." @TigerStars @Tiger_comments u @Tiger_SG
๐๐๐ This is an important week as the US Big Banks report their earnings. When the CEOs step up to the podium, investors will be keen to find out about their Net Interest Income or NII. If the NII looks weak, the bank stocks may slide. Another important metric to watch out is the provisions of credit losses. If the Big Banks are quietly hoarding big piles of cash to cover bad loans, it means they smell trouble brewing in consumer credit cards and commercial real estate. Which is the best bank stock to buy? My top pick is $JPMorgan Chase(JPM)$ as Jamie Dimon's fortress remains the gold standard. It is the King of retail banking, asset management and trading. JPMorgan is the largest US bank with assets under management
๐๐๐You have to appreciate the poetic irony: $Robinhood(HOOD)$ is using USD 25 million of its corporate cash to buy Bitcoin. For centuries, the Robinhood legend was simple: rob from the rich and give to the poor. But in the modern, upside down matrix of Wall Street, the narrative has gone completely rogue. Robinhood isn't robbing Peter to pay Paul anymore. Robinhood is taking the transaction fees from Peter, the trading spreads from Paul and using them to buy digital gold for their own corporate treasury.

Investing 101: The Resilience of SReits ETFs - CLR vs SRT
๐๐๐Looking at your portfolio and seeing Singapore Real Estate Investment Trusts (SReits) has been a test of patience. While tech stocks have hogged the headlines, SReits have felt heavily weighed down by continuous macroeconomic headwinds. For many income investors, it has been deeply frustrating to watch. If the SReits have been underperforming on paper, why should a rational investor deploy their hard earned capital into them right now? This is because price and value are rarely the same thing. SReits are currently coiled at a compelling entry point. Buying into a fundamentally healthy asset class when broader market sentiment is low isn't reckless. It is exactly how long term wealth is built. The Real Estate Analogy: The Value of the Underlying Brick
$Sheng Siong(OV8.SI)$ ๐๐๐I invest in Sheng Siong because it is more than just a supermarket stock. It is the quiet, reliable heartbeat of Singapore's heartlands. While the rest of the market chases noisy hype and speculative bubbles, Sheng Siong quietly goes to work by delivering great earnings, growing revenue to SGD 1.6 billion and net profit to SGD 149.2 million. It does this by feeding neighbourhoods with honest everyday value and treating their staff well. Sheng Siong is the kind of stock that I would like to hold forever. @Tiger_SG @TigerStars @Tiger_commen
How To Navigate Volatility, Iran War & The Fed's With XLE, RSP & SCHD ETFs
๐๐๐Navigating the markets right now feels like playing chess on a trampoline. Between the ongoing Iran war disrupting global oil supply lines, a nerve wrecking Federal Reserve policy path and the looming US mid term elections on November 3rd, Wall Street is caught in a massive psychological tug of war. The Iran war has completely rewritten the macro playbook, throwing Brent Crude past USD 120 a barrel earlier this year, squeezing consumer margins and sending the 10 year Treasury yield screaming to a 24 year high. The US Mid term elections are injecting maximum anxiety into the tech sector, with voters hyper focused on inflation. Politicians on both sides are campaigning to regulate energy hungry AI data center buildouts. Historically, markets get incredibly choppy right before
๐๐๐What matters most is the gap between AI revenue and AI Capex. OpenAI's revenue is USD 50 billion. It posted a staggering net loss of USD 38.5 billion in 2025. OpenAI's competitor Anthropic has committed to over USD 518 billion in future cloud spending. The required revenue growth needed to support these operations is enough to make potential investors break out in cold sweat. This is an astronomical Capex abyss. With Anthropic's IPO gearing up for its huge IPO in November, it is targeting a jaw dropping USD 2 trillion valuation. Meanwhile OpenAI is playing the long game. Sam Altman has ruled out a 2026 listing. OpenAI is raising a massive private funding round at a USD 1.4 trillion valuation. These are huge numbers. One thing is cer
๐๐๐The stock I searched the most is $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ because every time the stock hits a new high, I can't help but smile since I am a shareholder of this amazing company. Google rules the modern world with a unshakeable monopoly in the global search engine. Google is also a hyperscaler with its own custom built TPUs, designed to scale the Gemini ecosystem. Then there is Google Cloud, growing into a massive juggernaut. It gives me a big dopamine hit every time I searched $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ - a great company that controls both the highway of today's information and the rocket fuel for tomorrow's AI. The legendary Peter Lynch famously said: "Buy what you know". I know Google as I use it eve
๐๐๐ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ is the stock I searched the most especially after Citi downgraded OCBC to a Sell. This wiped billions off its market value in a flash. It is painful but deep down in my heart I know that OCBC is the kind of quality stock that has stood the test of time. Through financial crises, global pandemics & shifting interest rate cycles, OCBC has stood immovable, compounding wealth for generations. But the good news is now I can buy OCBC shares in lots of 10, and put my warchest to work immediately. Warren Buffett likes to say: "Predicting rain doesn't count, building arks does". Instead of panicking when the rain will stop, I am slowly but surely accumulating OCBC, brick by brick, ensuring I emerge str
$SS SPDR STI ETF(ES3.SI)$ ๐๐๐When I invest in STI ETF, I am buying a piece of the concrete foundation of Singapore itself. The top 10 companies alone represent 81.7% of the entire fund. I am not speculating on unproven startups. I am buying a highly concentrated block of dominant market leaders. When the local banks experience a sharp short selloff, it may drag the entire Straits Times Index down. But as a true believer of Warren Buffett's mindset, that price dip is just the long hill getting a bit steeper, giving my snowball even more room to pick up speed.

The Dividend Snowball: SPDR STI vs Amova STI ETF: How To Own Singapore's Banks Without The Heartache
๐๐๐There is a quiet, almost invisible magic built into the concrete foundations of Singapore. It doesn't scream for attention like a volatile tech stock on Wall Street, nor does it keep you awake at 3am in a cold sweat. It is the steady unyielding power of financial compounding. Compounding is the financial equivalent of rolling a tiny snowball down Bukit Timah Hill. At first it looks insignificant. But as it rolls, the snow picks up more snow. In the investing world, your money makes babies and then those babies have babies, until you are suddenly sitting on a generational empire. In Singapore, the kings of this compounding kingdom are our local banking trio: $DBS(D05.SI)$
The Selloff of the Singapore Banks Continues On Thursday. What Should Investors Do?
๐๐๐The selling pressure on the Singapore Exchange has intensified for a second consecutive day, turning what started as a single broker downgrade into a broader macro rout. Following Wednesday's initial hit, $DBS(D05.SI)$ $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ and $UOB(U11.SI)$ extended their declines on Thursday, dragging the benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) down by more than 2.5%. The new catalyst shifting this from corporate profit taking to sector wide panic is a fresh warning from JP Morgan. Analysts warned that surging global long bond yields whi
๐๐๐On Wednesday, the Singapore market suffered a bruising wake up call. Driven by a brutal Citigroup downgrade on $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ , an institutional selloff wiped billions in value off Singapore's banking trio, shaking weak hands out of the market and leaving retail portfolios bleeding. Yet amidst this selloff, the spotlight has swung dramatically onto a legendary enterprise that refuses to be ignored: $Great Eastern(G07.SI)$ . For investors looking beyond the daily panic, Great Eastern isn't just a defensive shelter. It is company of immense value, backed by over a century of history, massive earnings power and a corporate drama that could ex
๐๐๐AI has not killed SaaS, at least not yet. What we are witnessing isn't an extinction event. It is a brutal but beautiful evolution. In the future, we will not look at the number of seats but at the Agent and result based charging. The paradigm shift that will redefine the next decade of software is the total collapse of the per seat pricing. In an era where an AI agent can autonomously resolve 80% of those incoming tickets in seconds, charging per human head is an obsolete business model . We are moving into a high stakes economy built on outcomes, results and digital labour. The clear winner in the shift toward agent & result based pricing is $ServiceNow(NOW)$ . Why? ServiceNow owns the digital workflow backbone for Fortune 50
Why Did Singapore Banks Drop On Wednesday October 7 2026?
๐๐๐The sudden selloff across the local banking trio $OCBC Bank(O39.SI)$ $DBS(D05.SI)$ and $UOB(U11.SI)$ was sparked by a highly influential research note published on Tuesday morning: The Citi Downgrade: Citigroup downgraded OCBC from Neutral to Sell, slashing its price target to SGD 27.50. This target implies that the stock was heavily overextended relative to its historical fundamentals. Waning Growth Optimism: Analysts noted that OCBC's upcoming Q3 2026 earnings are expected to be flat year on year. Furthermore, its Common Equity Tie
The SGX 10 Lot Revolution: Spotlight on Venture Corporation
๐๐๐The barrier to entry for $Venture(V03.SI)$ Singapore's premier technology hardware company has finally been broken. Thanks to the SGX slashing its minimum board lot size from 100 shares down to just 10 shares, everyday investors are no longer priced out of this elite counter. According to a fresh report from Bloomberg, the SGX has been buzzing with unprecedented activity since Monday 5 October 2026 as the 10 shares lot rule quickly becomes incredibly popular. It gives investors the ultimate flexible pass to co-own Venture Corporation, one of the most vital technology giants in South East Asia.

๐๐๐My primary strategy aligns with the core philosophy behind Deutsche Bank 's upgrade of $Netflix(NFLX)$ to a Buy. It exposes the profound difference between short term volatility & the unstoppable long term operational dominance of Netflix. Netflix suffered a brutal selloff, dropping its forward multiples from a dizzying 40x down to a modest 18 times 2027 earnings estimates. This is an incredibly rare value opportunity for Netflix. Deutsche Bank highlights that Netflix is uniquely positioned to use AI. This could result in optimising its high margin advertising engine. As the famous John Templeton likes to say : "The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy". @WallStr
๐๐๐It is time to put on my thinking cap and test my knowledge on ETFs. At its core, ETFs are a great way to build a diversified portfolio instantly without having to buy dozens of individual stocks manually. I love investing in ETFs and they form an integral part of my portfolio. Thanks @TigerEvents for this exciting quiz. My answers are as follows: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4B, 5A, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9C and 10B.
