US equity-index futures declined as enthusiasm for the artificial intelligence trade cooled after driving markets to record highs this year.
Futures contracts for the Nasdaq 100 Index dropped 1.1%, indicating a third day of losses for the gauge as investors rotate out of technology and chip stocks.
Stocks are pulling back from record highs as Broadcom Inc.&rsquo s outlook for AI-chip sales fell short of elevated expectations, pausing a blistering advance in semiconductor shares from their war-driven lows. Investors now face a crucial test on Friday with the US jobs report, which could reshape expectations for Federal Reserve policy and determine whether the AI-fueled rally broadens further or loses momentum.
&ldquo The rally off the March lows has been an extremely strong one. In fact, it has been parabolic, especially for the chip stocks,&rdquo said Matt Maley at Miller Tabak. &ldquo Therefore, if the earnings report from Broadcom is the catalyst for a pullback that lasts more than a day or two, it would actually be healthy for the stock market.&rdquo

Bro yoga,
I used to use leverage to trade.
Bad idea.
Very bad idea in fact.
Lost until Orh Bark Khark man.
But the irony is those very same positions...if I had bought them with cash, eventually when markets recovered, those positions
not only no loss but would have become highly profitable. You see, positions bought with cash...when market is down, what you
are experiencing is a paper loss. Becoz bought with cash, nobody can force you to sell. You can hold the position for as long as
you like. But if those positions were bought using leverage, meaning you didnt come out with 100% of the capital. You came out
with only 10% or 20% or 25%, if your positions are down by 30% to 50% in a severe downturn, your stockbroking house will ask
you to top up your margin. This is called " margin call" . If you have funds to top up, then Boh Tai Chi. If you cant top up, your
broking house will force close your positions meaning you realize your loss. After that when the market recovers, if you still have
capital to buyback your positions, good for you. You are back in the running to recover your losses. But if no ammo leow or no
bola leow to play again, then the loss you have taken becomes permanent. So the biggest danger about using leverage is your
inability to LOON the bad times and bite the bullet until the good times return. If you bought with cash, nobody can force you to
sell to take your loss during a selldown. But if you bought with leverage, your broking house can ask you to top up margin or sell
or they will force sell for you. Then like it or not, you take your loss. Game over. Eventually when the market bottoms out and then
recovers, prices will go back to above your entry levels. But without you on board.
That' s why if you recall, whenever I issue trading suggestions here, I always say no contra, no leverage, no margin....buy only with
cash you dont need forever. So that if you are caught in a sudden and unexpected selldown, you can hold till the good times return.
Nobody can force you to sell. You dont have to take your paper loss. You only need to LOON it meantime. Until market recovers.
Liak Wu Kew boh?
Or... you catch the no ball ?
Wu lah. You Liak Wu Kew lah. Hor ?
If still Liak Bo Kew hor, then you go to her room.
She will show you how to Liak Kew.

Husband : Why do you spend so much money on make-up ?
Wife : So that I can look good for you.
Husband : Oh.
Wife : What about you ? Why do you spend so much on beer ?
Husband : Same reason. So that you can look good to me.

Michael Jackson is best known for his iconic signature dance move - the Moonwalk.
The very first time he performed this Moonwalk was when he sang " Billie Jean" .
Michael Jackson' s songs are very difficult to sing.
It is very difficult for anyone to sing his songs and sound just as good.
But this Korean guy managed to do it. He sounded so amazing that his video went viral.
In the comments section, one cute fellow wrote this...
" I played this song to my baby and he started to crawl backwards."

Bro plutus,
Honest to goodness just yesterday or the day before I was thinking of you and 2 things came to mind.
The first was I believe you also qualify for the Ah Pek Club leow and secondly, quite long no picture no sound from you leow.
For many of us Ah Peks in this thread, we need to plan for retirement by having enough in our RA to get a good enough payout
and supplement our monthly income from trading or investment. Some of us here may have properties to give us a 3rd stream
of income, ie. rental. But you are in a different league. You have a business which probably gave you very good income during
the bulk of your working life. Plus your business is still ongoing and will continue to give you income going forward.
Nevertheless, it is never wrong to plan for retirement to retire well and be comfortable. As for you, since you have the funds, just
max out your RA to the prevailing ERS. Every year in January, ERS will be revised upwards. That' s when you can top up your RA
to the new ERS. Just have to remember to do the top-up every year by mid-Jan so that the new funds can start earning interest in
the following month in February for greater interest compounding effect.

Oxford Dictionary will soon have to provide either a new or an alternative meaning to the word - ceasefire.
Becoz both US and Iran have given this word a new meaning.
They take turns to hantam each other.
Drone strike, missile strike and airstrike.
But yet maintain there is a ceasefire.
Or did they mean seize fire ???
Sorry Bro spore. You own the copyright for " seizefire" . Borrow free use of your copyright.
