Pre-CNY 2026 - Market Gossips

cash, guts, preparedness & lots of common senses... 

Blog post ~ 29th Dec - The rich valuation in DJIA, S&P500 and NASDAQ became a 'new normal' as many screamed "this time it is different". Will "thou shalt rise" continue into 2026? Perhaps, you can see DJIA [52,000], S&P500 [7,300] and NASDAQ [27,000] ... but expect an impactful corrective low 1Qtr [Jan - Apr] 

Blog post ~ 2nd Feb - Gold was a "Buy" above $3000 with the target of $4800-5200 [top up at $5600] while Silver was a "Buy" above $58 with a target of $90 [top up at $121]....  while BTC looks good at <$70,000 after recent corrections; trade for a rebound. Oil is the outlier & poise to surprise

Market as at closed ~ 6th Feb - Wall Street rebounded with vengeance with DJIA up 1306/2.47% [50,115.67], S&P 500 up133.9/1.97% [6,932.30], NASDAQ up 490/2.18% [23,031.21], Gold up $99.10/2.03% [$4,988.60], Silver up 0.811/1.08% [$77.52], Bitcoin rebounded from the low of <$62,500 to closed at $68,615

In the last 1-2 years, if you had kept money[currency] in the banks, you'd probably enjoyed <2% return whereas the capital markets and metals would have given you bountiful multiples despite tariffs, economic blocs contractions, geopolitical shifts, military gamesmanship and the unusual shifting of economic partnerships where loyalty gave way to trade advantages ~ businesses are done between friends

USA/P Trump wanted Canada, Greenland, Cuba, Venezuela, Columbia, Panama & others via threats of military intervention, sanctions and regimes change if money 'cannot buy' obedience

The Rules of Laws has become the Laws of the Jungle; the politeness of diplomacy has turned brute

Going forward, both markets are expected to be fairly volatile. Is there money to be made in the Capital market and the Commodities market? Yes! Lots indeed. These markets are not linear; you can buy, sell, Stop[buy & sell], hold or exit, if unsure

Everyone wants to make money, but few want to do their homework

Trade the range, ride the trends, stop-loss, value buys; nobody goes broke by taking profits   

Be fearful when crowds build and be brave when storm hits ~ aboveall, be nimble

Bees flock to flowers as flies enjoy shits

The whales will make their bundles & swim away when the crowds/retail swop in

Enjoy the thrills of trading and investments but beware of the guillotines 

From the ashes come the phoenix but few are able to return, flourish and reign

The long lunar holidays may be an inferno
