It really pains me to write this.
I thought that I was over this drug habit.
The last time it happened was all the way in March?! Can't believe I had a relapse :(
Anyway, this was purely Tesla fault. Damn you TSLA!!!
Tesla announced its Q3 results which were through the roof, and its share price rocketed 20% the day after the news broke.
The night before, I'd always made about $800 shorting TSLA as I felt the price overshot too much and I read many articles detracting the Q3 results as trying too hard to push for profit and yada yada.
Last night as the market was about to open, I was still sitting on a nice couple of hundred profit.
Then it began shooting even higher and I kept shorting TSLA!
From $298 at the open, it just traced up slowly but surely all the way to close at 4am at $328!
Who can believe that?!
Anyway I in-out a lot and kept losing.
I would win a bit if I longed, but then I'd short again and lose tons.
All in, I lost all my profits plus another $2,100.
Tamade.
Pui!

Gold ETF Luncheon With SSGA
Was invited to participate in the State Street Global Advisors' Singapore luncheon with Gold as their main focus of the lunch.
It was quite interesting because this was in tandem with the representatives from the World Gold Council.
Here were the two main slides to take away.
Should I buy gold now?

My Saxo P&L 2019 September
Darn.
A poor reversion to the red.
I was actually green all through the month until the last week when a serious of bad trades like shorting TSLA, Crude Oil and some FX screwed all my profits up and went into loss.
I have three months remaining to try and shore things up to make my investments look more decent.
Jiayouz!!!

My Saxo P&L 2019 August
Oh my.
This is my most profitable month this year.
It is still not a lot, but firstly, green is great. More importantly, I've managed to stem the red tide somewhat.
Hopefully I can go on to go green for the rest of the year!
I actually still have quite a large deficit to make up for this year.
Will keep trying.
Spirits up!

Invest Fair 2019
So the company participated in this year's Invest Fair 2019.
It was a very successful event and it was much more crowded than I remembered it last year.
More importantly, we were given several speaker slots and I took up one of them to speak about the US markets.
It was quite a nervous and thrilling experience speaking to a public audience about the markets. Normally my only public gigs were on my pet topics of management, hiring, online trading or FinTech expertise. See this.
Seemed like it all went pretty well!

My Saxo P&L 2019 July
It's been another terrible month.
The prophecy is real. Everything that I am investing in just ends up in losses.
This month its been the AUDSGD. Just can't seem to get my timing right. Should I even be timing my FX trades?
Terrible.
Just look at it, EVERY single asset class I've touched has turned red! EVERY SINGLE ONE!
I should just stop gambling so that I flat-line my losses to what it is today.
And yet how can I resist?
