$TSLA has already gone up 18x in the last 3 years.

Some feel the share price is too high, but I know the best is yet to come.

Tesla isn't slowing down at all. What are the drivers?

Max fear out there. Markets in freefall.

But if you're a long-term investor — this is where you stay calm and act with intention.

- DCA into high-quality names
- Or tranche in every 4–5% dip
- Buy what you know & believe in

Feels like a liquidity sweep before the next pump higher.

I nimble added some stocks last night, and BTC this afternoon.

NVDA earnings could be the catalyst needed for the next up move.

[Rui Ming @HeyRuiMing]

No, two reasons:
1. I have sizable allocation to NVDA/semis already. Capping my exposure.

2. NVDA has run up a lot in the last 2 years. Upside might be limited compared to other laggards this cycle.

Using this dip to nibble on other stocks instead!

[Rui Ming @HeyRuiMing]

Deepseek sell-off feels overdone.

Markets hit ATHs last week & overbought. Need a "reason" to pull back.

FOMC & Big Tech earnings this week more impt.

Am I buying NVDA here? 🤔

[Rui Ming @HeyRuiMing]

If SPX hits 61200+, I’ll gradually de-risk (raise cash)

And shift some holdings to safer assets.

2025's Market Outlook:

In 2024, I was bullish, particularly on AI & crypto stocks, which performed well.

For 2025, I am less optimistic & more cautious.

We should have at least 1 more rally in Q1/Q2.

Before a 10%+ correction in 2H of 2025.

That's my base case.

[Rui Ming @HeyRuiMing]

Bull Market Continues?

After the April correction, markets are back at all-time highs!

Will the Bull run continue for 2nd half of 2024?

I think yes.

Markets are only midway through the bull cycle:
✳️ Liquidity is still expanding
✳️ Bull Cycle has 12-18 mths left before peak
✳️ Stocks & Crypto should continue to do well until mid-2025

Continue to stay invested.

Dips are good opportunities to add.

My top holdings:
✅ QQQ
✅ VOO
✅ NVDA
✅ COIN
✅ IWM
✅ SMH

🚀 Crypto:
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Solana

@simon_ngiaw markets are very over-extended now.. good time to trim some haha

Bull Run in 2024?

Happy New Year everyone!

2023 was a good recovery year, with US markets making new highs.

As we head into 2024, I am cautiously optimistic of a continued bull.

Markets are still in the early stages:

✳️ Global liquidity is trending up
✳️ Cyclical stocks turnaround
✳️ Small caps are leading
✳️ Region banks are up

❌ These are NOT signs of a market bubble.

Bull Catalysts for 2024:
✅ Inflation is down
✅ Rate cuts incoming
✅ 2024 is Election Year

Of course, markets won't go up in a straight line.

There will be pullbacks along the way.. probably in Q1, but 2024 should be a good year for risk assets.

XLP Trade Idea:

As conflicts continue to escalate in the Middle East & around the world, people are scared.

During scared times, money tends to flow to safe havens like Gold, Bonds, Defensive Stocks etc

As we head into 2024, one might seek a more defensive & robust portfolio.

To have a defensive posture in their portfolios, one can consider the Consumer Staple ETF: XLP

This ETF top holdings include:
✳️ Coca-Cola
✳️ Walmart
✳️ Hershey
✳️ Colgate
✳️ Costco
✳️ Pepsi
✳️ P&G

✅ Defensive stocks drop less than Tech Stocks

- Peak to bottom is usually around minus 15-20% during the last few crashes.

✅ The reason is that in bad times, ppl still need to eat, brush teeth, use toilet paper etc.

- Hence consumer necessity stocks tend to hold relatively well in tough times.

✅ XLP is a good way to have exposure to Staple Stocks without needing to evaluate individual companies.

- That's the benefit of an ETF! The best companies are chosen for you.

✅ Right now XLP has already dropped -12% from the recent highs.

- So the downside might be much reduced from the current price of $66.

I am simply sharing trade ideas that I am considering.

Please do your own due diligence before entering any stocks/ETFs 💪💪

4/4

Prudent Buying:

Everyone loves discounts. It's tempting to buy more now.

But please don't buy with cash that you may need in the next few years.

And please DON'T buy on margin.

If you are thinking of buying this dip, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

[Rui Ming @HeyRuiMing]

Tesla will weather this storm, but can you?

Tesla's defensive approach is the right strategy for the long term.

But this negative outlook has caused prices to drop.

Long-term fundamentals & thesis remain intact.

But expect a bumpy ride in the short term:

3/4

Update your convictions:

Read the latest Tesla info: Transcripts, earnings numbers, latest developments, etc.

Conviction has to be built, not borrowed.. especially in tough times.

The last thing you want is panic sell at the lows because your conviction isn't enough.
