Whats up everyone. Just a update, I am still trading options until February month. I am mostly scalping puts and calls on $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ $Amazon (AMZN.US)$.
I still like $SoFi Technologies (SOFI.US)$
alot for long-term. But just be wary that the whole market is bleeding out so timing the "bottom" is difficult. I have been swinging $SoFi Technologies (SOFI.US)$a lot. For example I would say buy it again at around $12.80 and sell at $13.50 - $14.

$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ has secured the green light to build more test cars at Giga Berlin, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing a spokeswoman for the environment ministry in the state of Brandenburg.
What Happened: The Elon Musk-led Tesla can build as many as 2,000 electric vehicles at Giga Berlin, up from 250 earlier.
The electric vehicle maker can use the vehicles for testing purposes and is not allowed to sell the cars.

$Grab Holdings (GRAB.US)$
I was as excited as most Singaporeans on this app when our home-grown brand got listed. But when I deep-dive into the company, I will likely not invest in it, at least for the short term.
Grab’s market in the South East Asia definitely has growth potential i.e. people are getting affluent, there’s an increase in digital growth etc. However, do note that Grab faces intense competition and challenges in all its businesses/services (ride-hailing, food delivery and financial services). At the moment, I don’t see very strong Moat displayed by them yet - similar to $Uber Technologies (UBER.US)$
1. Ride hailing - doesn’t seem like they are going to expand to countries outside South East Asia region. And this spells limited growth, at least for the short term. Furthermore, this area of business is badly impacted by the pandemic. Taxi drivers are suffering (it’s a real problem on the ground)
2. Food delivery - sales in this area did “rocket” as everyone started working from home since 2020. But Singapore, and a few other SEA countries, are too small. There is a limit to how much they can earn in this segment. Throw in Foodpanda, Deliveroo etc, their market shares will be further capped. Personally, I don’t think there is brand loyalty when it comes to food deliveries. I used Grab most of the time, but I also used the other two when there are discounts/ vouchers etc.
3. Financial services - there are so many financial institutions around. It’s going to be tough competing against the banks, and even giants like Apple $Apple (AAPL.US)$ and Google $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ for their payments services. Once again, throw in Favpay, Singtel’s Dash $Singtel (Z74.SG)$ Alipay $Alibaba (BABA.US)$ etc etc. How much pie / market shares can they capture?
Overall, the company’s financial situation isn’t fantastic. Their revenue did grow YOY, but they are not profitable yet. Things may change in 3 to 5 years’ time (expansion by the company, covid has gone etc). But for the short term, I don’t think I would invest my money in them. The dollars can be better invested into other stocks with higher growth. Would suggest to enter only when the coast is clear. Meantime, I will just remain as their consumer using their services.
Not financial advice. DYDD and invest safely.

$Alibaba (BABA.US)$ One mistake some investors make is dollar cost averaging into only their losing positions, thinking they're buying the dip. However, winners tend to keep winning and it's often worth dollar cost averaging into them too.
For me, I dollar cost averaged into my Chinese holdings between April and September. I probably was a little too aggressive at first and should have started slower so that I could have continued to dollar cost average this month and over the next few months.
Chinese stocks now represent about 8.5% of my portfolio in real terms, and would represent a little over 10% of it if I hadn't lost some of my original investment. Considering my bullish view on China in the long term, I'd prefer to have my allocation to China a few percentage points higher than it is now.
However, I'm not going to commit more capital to these losing stocks for two reasons. First, as I said above, winners tend to keep winning. Although I don't want to believe it, it is always possible that Alibaba's stock will continue performing poorly especially if it delivers more weak quarters in the future. It's fine if I have a loser in my portfolio because it can be offset with other winners, but if I keep committing more and more capital to the loser then it will be difficult for winners to make up for that lost money.
Second, while I want a bit more exposure to China than I have now, it's not significantly more. If Alibaba and other Chinese companies rebound in the coming years as I expect they will, then they will grow to represent over 10% of my portfolio even if I don't invest any more money in them. For tax purposes, it's not ideal to be in a situation where you're overweight a company/sector and have to realize gains in order to manage risk (assuming you can get similar gains from another investment instead).
One helpful approach here is to look at your portfolio based on your initial investment allocations (ignoring gains/losses) and try to balance it based on that. Otherwise, you'll constantly be rebalancing into your losers to help them keep up with your winners.

I think everyone should have seen the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", traders' various marketing strategies motivate you to buy stocks. But now, we can easily press the "trading" button on the screen to buy stocks, and think for ourselves through various strategies.
When you selected 2,000 stocks from the stock screener, how to choose the most desirable and tradable stocks from them? How can I confirm the purchase point most accurately?
I think we should figure out what the trading model is before confirming our stock picking ideas. The trading model ultimately determines the stock we trading. $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$
I have recently been addicted to short-term trading, which focus on emotions, the occurrence of band premium comes from it. Short-term requires more energy, more risk-taking, and the most important thing is stronger discipline and self-control, as well as the ability to control emotions.
Short-term must choose those stocks that have entered the uptrend, and don't buy stocks that are falling. You thought the stock was at the bottom, which is the fate of investors who have just entered the market.
I only participate in those stocks whose daily line has just broken through the half-year line or the annual line, use a standard to define the trend, and then filter out all the stocks that don't have a trend, the remaining stocks should at least be rising above a certain level.
For example, we can look at $Futu Holdings Ltd (FUTU.US)$
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$
$Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC.US)$
When you make the first breakthrough, this stock should be selected by you. This is the easiest way and there is no difficulty. As long as you determine a standard, and then slowly establish the aesthetics, a basic stock selection model will come out.
But it is important to note that we are involved in the first turn of the market, rather than looking for stocks that have already made big gains, which are difficult for the average people to handle. Note that I'm talking about the first turn, which is just breaking out of a trend inflection point or breaking out of the year for the first time after a long decline. Whether it is a band or a short-term, buying after a pullback is always the preferred option.
Therefore, the buying strategy needs to solve two fundamental problems:
1. How to buy in a callback after the trend is established.
2. How to establish a filtering mechanism to prevent being trapped after the long position turns into the short again.
