Such strong fundamentals.
Yet it is down from a recent high of $12, to the current $7.
Damn xianz.
Was sitting on a VERY sizeable profit and now this.
Hope it comes back up again quickly.

It’s funny that META is my current only Mag7 holding remaining.
I got assigned 200 shares very early this year and have been holding it since.
Part of the reason is that I have a long dated covered call tagged to it that is very profitable if I hold it till expiry.
Right now this strategy of selling puts to enter into fundamentally strong stocks until I am assigned the underlying shares, followed by selling covered calls on them, has proven to be very profitable for me,
Long may this continue,
Huat ah!
If you followed my post for long, you’d know I dare not invest in China stocks.
It’s been a long time.
Generally it’s because the risk is always that the Chinese government could easily make a policy change or announce something adverse that renders previous assumptions useless.
That’s said, I recently see a lot of value for many large cap Chinese stocks more because of how beaten down they are.
And I have just started an investment into Tencent, it’s HK listing.
Let’s hope it double from here!
Just to put on record, that BTCUSD is currently at around 60K.
That’s more than half of what it was a year ago.
Luckily I don’t have that much exposure in crypto anymore.
I remember not too long ago I almost bought one full BTC for USD125k OMG.
Lately the NASDAQ has finally come down quite a lot.
Down to below 29,000 last Friday.
Is the AI bubble bursting?
The Mag7 have all come off their highs.
All the compute and AI spin craze have been brought down to earth somewhat.
Let’s see.
Lately been looking at Phase 3 for f this development as it has been launched on sale for quite some time now.
Generally for less than SGD200K, I can now get a 500+sqft high floor 1bed1bath. That is huge!
I will not talk about the benefits as I don’t want to bother with the hype, a lot of it is all over the internet, specifically with the RTS completion and SEZ incoming.
Four key issues with this property compared to the rest I’ve been looking at.
1) R&F the China developer is facing financial difficulties. There is real insolvency risk. What if Phase 3 cannot be completed if the developer goes bankrupt?
Having been onsite, most Phase 3 towers are more than 30 floors built now. So there is high probability that construction will be completed. Both Phase 1 (2018) and Phase 2 (2024) have been completed and were buzzing the numerous I’ve been there. That said I have to acknowledge that there are still implications if R&F goes bankrupt.
2) If R&F goes bankrupt AFTER completion, the township will still be impacted, Phase 4 and Phase 5 will not even start and the property might be abandoned?
Again my assessment is that this is highly unlikely. It is the face of Johor as you enter Malaysia via the Woodlands Causeway. There is no way the Johor government will let such a prominent project suffer unlike what has happened to Forest City.
3) The unit I’ve been looking at suffers from overcrowding density. 10 units a floor, 49 floors, and only three lifts to service everyone?!
This is a risk I am willing to accept. It is prevalent in China and many other countries facing such congestion and they can find ways to make it work.
4) SGDMYR FX Risk is real. Currently at around 3.15, if MYR continues to weaken to let’s say 3.50 or even 4! A SGD200K property even at same MYR value might be worth SGD150K to a Singaporean owner thereafter!
Again this is a risk I have to accept. The reverse could also happen, who knows?
Anyway these are the risks of buying overseas properties and there are many others so it’s just good to document the considerations before I make any actual plunge.
Huat ah!
Been travelling up to JB quite a bit.
Looking at the property there.
R&F Princess.
Coronade Twins.
Exsim Causewayz (wtf?)
Thinking of sinking a small bit into another hard asset.
Can be for investment, can also be for retirement?
Might get stuck for the long haul though.
NASDAQ again.
In out in out until liquid come out.
Pui!
Ended up losing $6.3K.
Sigh.
An unnecessary hit to my Huat year dammit.
There’re several wars going on.
The Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
There is an energy and oil crisis around the world.
Inflation is running high globally.
Yet.
S&P is near ATH, touching 7,500.
NASDAQ is near ATH, touching 29,600.
Dow is near ATH, touching 50,000.
What gives?
I decided to trial using sevens AI engines to help me place a Friday trade.
Below’s my dataset.
Essentially I’ve asked for the best trade recommendations to open on a Friday night, and close by end of day Monday.
I ended up opening a 200,000 long USDJPY position.
Lets see if it huats!
