The long awaited correction has started.
Last nite, the shit hits the fan.
Everybody opened their umbrellas and headed straight for the door.
There was pushing and shoving.
Everybody wants out.
It was chaotic.
A case of each man for himself.
This is just the beginning.
If we are looking at a 10% correction, Dow will fall 5100 pts and Nasdaq will fall 3100 pts.
If 15% or 20%, even more.
More downside to come.
Brace for impact.
The main problem with margin is the margin call when prices drop sharply and one is over stretched.
So, the trick is to use it when prices may not drop much and not use the full facility.
If one has a margin facility at this time which is unutilsed, can easily buy Premium Economy Sampan at 2.47.
The odds of it dropping are of course always there. But, if one is using cash of $1m and buying $2m worth of Sampan at 2.47,
use of margin at this stage, it is probably quite safe. Then, one rides it to 2.90 and doubles the profit in say one year' s time..
So, margin deployed strategically, can double the profits. But, need to, firstly qualify for margin, secondly have the discpline
to wait for a time when the chosen stock is at a rock bottom to ensure there is no margin call if prices dip slightly after the stock is bought, and have the bolas to go in full throttle and wait patiently to reap the rewards at 2.90.
All three, I dont have. Wishful thinking and dreaming.
Have a great weekend all members of the Ah Pek Club and soon to be members as well.

Tom Lee said 2027 is the year " we will see the best market returns in our lifetime" .
I wonder if that means Bitcoin will reach a jaw-dropping $200k to $250k and with that Ethereum will reach $22,000.
Becoz according to projections, if Ethereum is at $22,000, Bitmine should be at $500 per share.
He didnt say the above.

I am wondering if that means Bitcoin at $200k to $250k...Etherrum at $22000 and Bitmine at $500.
Becoz if Bitmine is at $500 per share, then that will indeed be " the best market returns in my lifetime" .
It will be a life-changing moment for me.
Becoz my capital + returns will enable me to buy enough shares in say Ascendas to earn a passive dividend income of around
$4400 per month. Which together with CPF Life of $2350 will give me Chye Png money to the tune of $6750 per mth. Can buy
ALOT of Chye Png man.

The signs are there.
Markets at dunno how many new All-Tme Highs.
I lost count leow.
Valuations are stretched.
Upward momentum slowing down.
Meaning people are standing near the door.
Tom Lee said S & P to reach 7700 and then we will get a drawdown which can be 10%...15% or 20%.
He cautioned that even at 10%, everything will look gloomy and it will feel like we are in a bear market.
S & P already reached 7620. So we could have seen the high and correction could have started.
Dow is at 51,657.
If 10%...we are looking at a drop of 5100 pts.
If 15%... 7700 pts.
If 20%...10300 pts.
This is the type of drawdown which will trigger margin calls and wipe out leveraged traders off the face of the markets.
Not to mention from now to contract expiry on 25 June is barely 14 days of trading left for Futures traders and Option
traders to close their positions or be forced closed. The runway is too short for traders to open new LONG positions.
So yes, brace for impact.
For someone like you with at least a 1-million strong army in bonds, SSB and insurance products, this drawdown is
a great buying opportunity for you. By the way, Tom Lee said market will see a drawdown from June to October. After
the midterm elections, we will see a rally which will continue into 2027. He added that 2027 is the year we will see the
best market returns in our lifetime.
When Tom speaks, the rest of the world listens. And wait in anticipation. But the thing is - this guy has an excellent track
record for being right. The rally we have been seeing from April till now in spite of the ongoing war ....only Tom Lee dares
to call it. Nobody else called it. And becoz Tom Lee has been so consistently right so many times, you dont hear other analysts
or fund managers or market watchers coming out to openly say Tom Lee is wrong...Tom Lee is an idiot...Tom Lee is talking rubbish...
Tom Lee this or Tom Lee that. Not one soul out there dare openly say Tom Lee is spewing nonsense. Becoz everybody knows what
his track record looks like. Every news anchor in every American news network knows. Every US banker knows. Every US investment
banker knows. Those in European markets also know. And every TV network wants to invite him to appear in their show to give his take
on the market. Everyone wants to know what he has to say about the short term direction of the market. If Tom is nonsense and he is
talking rubbish, then surely no one is interested in him and no one listens when he speaks.
So Sis halle, if you put $500k into good stocks and hold till at least end-2027, you will see a return on capital to the tune of 20%
to 50%, I guess. Question is - can you borrow bolas from your Ah Lau and 2 sons to roll their bolas? Oops !!! I mean the dice.
Roll the dice.

He said " deal largely negotiated" and " 95% done" and that was 2 months ago. 
We all heard about " The boy who cried wolf" story when we were kids.
The moral of that story was you can cry wolf at most two times.
But Trump' s case is different.
He cried " deal almost done" dunno how many times leow....too many to count.

well done bro wave, made money liao.
I don' t have the balls and spare cash anyway.
but mainly i feel px super over value if you project the yeild.
Unless you are sure that it can do a 4% div payout base on px you buy, then yes, can hold.
but at this px means need to pay about 36 cents then you have 4 percent. Sampan better?
Last payout was $0.013 to reach 36 cents margin and revenue need to increase substantially.
can trade but cannot hold, px is easily easily control now as so fund is holding at super low px and market news
was positive till last nite, those fund holding cost are way below 5 dollars if i am not wrong.
AEM is in my watchlist because of AI relation to energy as it required huge energy support on data center,
which link to Singtel / other reits
just my view

Just sharing more info on CPF Life.
I am at $2350.
If I want a payout of say $3000 a mth, that' s $650 more.
Which is 65 x $10.
Every $2000 will give a payout of $10.
So if I want $3000, I need to top-up my CPF Life premiums by $2000 x 65 = $130,000.
The above is a quick way to estimate your CPF Life payout.
If you want say $5000 a month, at 65, your RA must have $5000 divide by $10 x $2000 = $1,000,000.
But having said the above, you CANNOT just top-up your SA or RA with a sum of $1m.
You cant.
How much you can top up will depend on your age.
If you are below 55, you dont have RA. You have OA and SA. Let' s leave out Medisave Account (MA).
If below 55, you can top up your SA to the prevailing FRS only. ERS does not apply to you.
I suppose the reason is the government is trying to save on the interest burden that it is carrying to pay 4% interest to us.
When you turn 55, you will have RA. That' s when ERS applies to you and you can top up your RA to the max of the prevailing ERS.
Then in Jan the following year, ERS will be revised upwards to account for inflation. You can then top up again to the new revised ERS.
And repeat this year after year. I stand corrected but I think when topping up to your ERS, interest earned by your savings are excluded
when computing how much you can top up. Becoz if interest earned in the preceding year is taken into account, that interest alone will
exceed the increase in the ERS. In which case your savings plus interest will exceed the new revised ERS in Jan year after year. Then
topping up wouldnt be possible.
Hope this helps in your planning.
